Gary Cao Ge
Ge Ge Blue
“You are my superwoman…”.
The chorus part of his latest hits, a remake of Karyn White’s [Superwoman], can be heard everyday on the radio, television or even from your colleagues, in Malaysia. It is that popular. It doesn’t sound like the true women’s anthem in the 80’s. It is totally Gary - Cao Ge.
Excluding this first track- “Superwoman“, Gary composed all other nine songs in “Ge Ge Blue” and the making of the whole album. Deeply influence by western music in his childhood, “Ge Ge Blue” feels like a Western R&B album. Perhaps the best of all is the second track - “World’s Only You“. Although it almost sounded like it was sing by some boyband but still, simply ‘melting’ ( melt your heart.. :) ).
“Girl” (Gu Liang) is based on the chinese oldies - Jasmine Flower (Mo Li Hua). Well, seemed like it has become a norm that every R&B album must have at leasat song based on the chinese oldies (thanks to David Tao). A R&B”Jasmine Flower”. I somehow find it ‘hard to swallow’ :P . “Happy Valentines” (Qing Ren Jie Kuai Le) is one of my favourite. With a Malay Introduction: ” Sayang~….”, the song is both capturing and sad. “Laugh at my stupidity” (Xiao Wo Ben) is Gary’s previous most popular song (before ‘Superwoman’). “Promise me after count to five” (Shu Dao Wu Da Ying Wo) feels like Bryan Mcknight’s Back At One. A song full of number. The final track “Looks with approval” (Gua Mu Xiang Kan) is the theme song for Chinese Olympic Comitee. The song is about the spirit of never giving up to the mountain of obstacles (similar to Gary’s early career which he got rejeccted by record company countless of times) . Other notable track that worth listen countless of times are “Candle Light Dinner” (Zhu Guang Wan Cang) and “Silent Toy” (Chen Mo Wan Ju).
Wait a minute, did I just mentioned almost all of the track? Hmm, seemed like I did (excluding track no.5 “Fall In Love”, which I..erm.. really do not like). :D
Gary’s singing is flawless, which we have already notice when he did the duet with Michael Wong (Guang Liang) in “Teenage Years“(Shao Nian) last year. His composing ability can be sum up using his own words: “I started composing (music)because I want to sing some nice song”. This album is going to stay in my Ipod for some time :D.

I love Superwoman!
I first heard it on radio and was thinking, “Who is this guy that did a cover of this popular song? It sounds not bad…” Then when I listen through the end, I was totally impressed! He can sing very high notes and his falsetto is so powerful!
I don’t like “Gu Niang” though. Like you say, it’s hard to swallow. Hehe….

the more i listen to ‘Superwoman’, the more i feel in love with his voice. Gary is great!!! Did anyone catch him in Project Superstar (Malaysia) last saturday?? He is actually having cold but it obviously didnt make any impact on his live singing. cool! Gary! I support you!! =)

Yes, I did! I didn’t even notice that he’s having cold. He sang so well that you can hear the obvious contrast between him and John. ;) But John was sick too.

Oh my god. His singing with Landy Wen for “Wish me a Happy Birthday” is brilliant (Landy’s performance is not that good though, but she’s hot as hell).

Hmm, I just realized that there’s another version of this album named “首张创作专辑Naughty Gentleman”. It’s probably the Taiwan version. The songs are the same but in different order and 烛光晚餐 goes with the title 不浪漫的家伙.

I saw the video of Gary at MTV China here in the Philippines..I freaked out watching it coz the song is one of my favorite from Karyn White and seeing a remake and hearing from him just totally amazed me. At first, I never got the chance to see his name so I have to search for the song over the net. Luckily, I got to download it and now, I’m playing it during my radio program here in Bislig City, Surigao del sur.

Chinese Oldies Music Fan
Hey Everyone,
I am an African who lives in American and I have a facination, you might even call it a love affair with old school/oldies chinese music from the 50s and 60s. but since i am not able to read chinese nor understand it, I have no idea where i can get this music on the internet. Please if you know where I can find some, email me at enasusa@gmail.com. Thank you.
Also, if you know Vietnames oldies that would be welcomed too.

很多人都说Gary是gay的,甚至还骂他”死基佬”,听了之后真的觉得很痛心.
Gary,快点交个女友吧!让那些重伤你的人哑口无言,对你”刮目相看”好不好?
永远支持你.
