Joey is always one of my favorite female singers. Not only because she can sing very well, she’s also willing to try out new things. Troughout the years, we also see her emerge from a young girl to a superstar. It’s without doubt that she’s the most popular female singer now in Hong Kong.

This album is aptly named “Ten Most Wanted”. Although it’s not perfect, however all the songs are above par. There are less karaoke songs in this album compared to her previous ones. And her songs are getting harder and harder to sing!

Track 1: 金银岛 Kam Ngan Dou (Treasure Island)
The album starts with a funky, groovy, circus-like song. Quite a fun song to listen.

Track 2: 摩登时代 Mo Dang See Doi (Modern Times)
Nice minor-key ballad using silent play to describe a relationship. Joey did a brilliant job as usual.

Track 3: 堂堂男人 Tong Tong Nam Yan (Gentlemen)
A surprise from Joey! It’s a splendid Cabaret-style song. It’s so sweet and fun and Joey did very well in the vocal too.

Track 4: 赤地雪 Chek Dei Suet (Snow of Clear Land)
This is kinda pop rock, the same style as “越唱越强 Yuet Cheong Yuet Keong”. Again, Joey shows her vocal ability and range.

Track 5: 跟珍芳达做健身操 Gun Jan Fong Dud Joe Kin Sang Mou (Aerobic With Jane Fonda)
This Mavis Fan Hsiao Xuen’s composition is another great surprise. Joey doesn’t sing this type of song often, but she did it very well in “playing” with her vocal. It’s a bit Gwen Stefani-like and it’s easily my favorite song in the album.

Track 6: 流泪眼望流泪眼 Lao Loi Ngan Mong Lao Loi Ngan (Teary Eyes Looking at Teary Eyes)
Another beautiful melancholy ballad. Joey’s vocal control is excellent, especially the alternate of falsetto and non-falsetto. The emotion is expressed so well in the flowing melody at chorus.

Track 7: 舌尖开叉 Seh Jim Hoi Chah (Tip of Tougue Spreads Out)
Also composed by Mavis Fan. It’s another electronic song, but not as good as track 5.

Track 8: 上次坐飞机 Seong Chih Cho Fei Gei (Last Time An A Plane)
What a sweet and sad song! It’s really nothing special about it but I just love the feel of the song. Simple and sweet.

Track 9: 最后的茱丽叶 Joi Hao Dik Jui Lai Yip (The Last Juliet)
Powerful ballad and full of emotion. It’s my favorite ballad from the album.

Track 10: 冬眠 Dong Min (Hibernate)
A typical but nice karaoke song like a lot of other Joey’s songs.

Recommended tracks: 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9.
