Princess of Rock Jessie Chung Attracts Crowd of 2,000 at First 《Be Strong》World Tour Stop

 

Having nearly topped two international charts with two second place spots, Princess of Rock Jessie Chung strikes back with the release of her new English album Be Strong! With a series of shows already launched and completed in Malaysia, Jessie is now set to rock the whole world! Last Sunday, her first stop at Shah Alam attracted over 2,000 fans, cramming the Shah Alam Performing Arts Centre all the way to the ceiling!

As fans began to pour into the venue, many realized that there won’t be enough space, but squeezed in nevertheless, filling every available space. Although the organizer has already set up a huge LED screen outdoors so that fans who didn’t get inside could still view the concert live, fervent fans were still willing to be packed like sardines so they could see Princess of Rock Jessie Chung in person. Fans who couldn’t get in, despite still having the opportunity to watch outdoors, expressed their disappointment.

Then show opened with Jessie Chung stepping on stage with a candy red jacket as four blonde-haired dancers joined her to dance to the rhythm. For this world tour, Jessie has done quite a lot of work, especially in choreography. She spent a great deal of time honing her dance moves with her dancers, all in hope of giving her fans the greatest auditory and visual appeal possible. It’s apparent that Jessie isn’t someone who would give a lackluster performance.

At her launching show, Jessie performed ten songs in her albums Be Strong and There You Are, at times mesmerizing the crowd and other times bringing them to their feet. The excitement level of her fans brimmed to a boiling point when she sang her last two songs “I Don’t Care” and “Feel My Love” with an African American accent.

As Jessie Chung moved on to her lead single Be Strong, she told the crowd, “We may stumble and fall, but we cannot stay down. When faced with problems, we should overcome them instead of letting them overcome us. Everybody can Be Strong.” Jessie also expressed that she no longer cares whether people like her or not, she has decided that no matter how people treat her, she will continue to love them, because love is a decision. At the show approached the end, she yelled at the crowd, “Can you feel my love?” As the fans roared back in unison, Jessie completed the show with her hit song “Feel My Love”, an energizing anthem teeming with electro dance beats.

With the great response brought on by the first show, Jessie expresses with excitement, “I get stronger every time I sing, and I hope that friends who are in love with my songs can also be stronger and stronger.” Jessie will be flying to Dongguan for her second show on December 23^rd, 2016.

At the end of the concert, Jessie also signed a deal with Janesce Skincare, an Australian corporation, as the official brand ambassador of its natural skincare product line.

The 《Be Strong》World Tour will be showing in Malaysia, Australia, New York, Canada, London, China, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia. The Malaysian leg of her highly anticipated Be Strong World Tour is scheduled as follows:

摇滚公主钟洁希《Be Strong坚强》全球巡回 莎首炮超过2千人齐摇滚

刚刚在台湾的五大金榜及iRadio西洋金曲榜创双亚军佳绩的钟洁希，今日再度以摇滚公主的身份推出新专辑英文专辑《Be Strong坚强》，以马来西亚作为全球巡回演唱起点，摇滚全世界！首场巡回演唱随即吸引超过2千人，挤爆沙亚南表演艺术中心(SPAC)！

入场时，现场座位虽已坐满了人，但很多粉丝依然推挤涌入场地，因此出现了人挤人的撼人场面。虽然主办当局早已在户外设立了LED大荧幕现场直播签唱会，但热情的粉丝却宁愿选择成为沙丁鱼，以便可以现场目睹摇滚公主钟洁希的风采。那些被挤在门外的粉丝，虽然有LED大荧幕观赏，依然大吐苦水，表示非常失望。

演唱当天，钟洁希以一身火红热辣的夹克摇滚登场，并与4名金发猛男同登舞台，载歌载舞强劲演出。为了全球巡回演出，洁希做足功夫，尤其是在舞蹈方面，她下了很大的努力，也花了很多的时间与舞蹈员练舞，希望给粉丝们在听觉与视觉感官上获得最大的享受，可见她诚意十足。

签唱会上，洁希一共演唱了收录在《Be Strong》和《There You Are》专辑里的十首英文歌曲，让粉丝听出耳油，过足摇滚隐。尤其是当她以“美国黑人腔”演唱最后两首歌“I Don’t Care”和“Feel My Love”时，粉丝们更是疯狂至极。

钟洁希演唱新专辑主打歌《Be Strong》时表示，“跌倒了要站起来，如果面对问题，我们要解决问题，不要被问题解决。每一个人都可以Be Strong。”  洁希也表示，她已经不介意别人喜欢还是不喜欢她，她决定了不管他们怎样对她，她都会继续爱他们，因为爱就是一个决定。最后她向粉丝们呐喊“Can you feel my love（你们可以感受到我的爱吗？）”粉丝们热情回应，洁希即送上热门快歌“Feel My Love”作为完美句点。

对于首炮演出就已得到如此热烈反应，洁希非常兴奋，笑说“我是越唱越坚强了，也希望喜欢听我唱歌的朋友们，也都可以越来越坚强。”完成了这场演出之后，洁希也将在23/12/16飞往中国东莞演出。

当天，洁希也与澳洲Janesce集团签下合约，正式宣布成为Janesce有机美容护肤产品的代言人。

JESSIE CHUNG HOLDING STRONG Newly-Crowned "Princess of Rock" Releases Another English Album

Nothing is stopping Jessie Chung from breaking barriers. After the successful debut of her English album There You Are***, she is back with another new album Be Strong in only a few months!

Gary Scallan, CEO of Future Entertainment and Music Group Australia flew all the way to Malaysia to join Darren Choy, managing director of Warner Music Malaysia and Singapore for the Be Strong album launching. Together, they presented her a diamond-studded electric guitar, and put a crown on her to mark her new “Princess of Rock” title.

“We see in Jessie an incredible potential in the pop-rock genre,” said Gary. “Jessie is, and will, become the new-generation Princess of Rock,” he added. Formerly known as “Detox Princess”, Gary believes that Jessie will live up to her new “Princess of Rock” title.

Managing director of Warner Music Malaysia, Darren Choy admires Jessie Chung for not being conformed to the so-called ‘standards’ of society. “She is not afraid to be herself, and that is what fascinates us the most. She made her mark in the music scene by her own hard work, and is now striving towards the pinnacle of her career. Jessie performed astoundingly in the pop-rock scene, and I’m sure she well-deserved the ‘Princess of Rock’ title.” said Darren.

Despite still recovering from sunburns that she got while filming Be Strong music video in the Pinnacles Desert and Lancelin, Australia, Jessie attended the press conference flawlessly, wearing a FaceAward diamond watch, which she has endorsed recently. Jessie couldn’t help but to spill the beans of going braless for the first time, “At that time, I finally overcame my fears by donning a halter top. However, the director wasn’t really satisfied, so he asked me if I was willing to go braless, and I said yes! All for delivering a great music video!” she said.

The thought of going braless never came to her mind before, so she had to be ready on the spot. She didn’t even notify her husband about it. “I really gave the music video my all!” said Jessie.

Fully produced in Australia, Be Strong includes seven tracks and is set to give a new kind of experience to Jessie’s existing and new fans. Aside from 15 showcases in Malaysia alone, Jessie will embark on a world tour to Taiwan, Australia, London, New York, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and other places to promote her latest offering.

Be Strong Tracklist: / 1. Be Strong / 2. Captured My Heart / 3. Forever Young / 4. Possibility / 5. I Don’t Care / 6. Love Is Coming Home / 7. Feel My Love. Two singles Be Strong and Forever Young are released along with the music video on YouTube recently.

***There You Are, Jessie Chung’s album prior to Be Strong, is one of the best-selling albums. Being the only Malaysian to be on Taiwan’s Five Music International Chart, Jessie Chung topped artistes like Sia, Ariana Grande and Celine Dion. She ranked higher than Lady Gaga on Taiwan’s iRadio International Chart. Her music videos exceeded 3 million views on YouTube within 2 months of release.

加冕为“摇滚公主” 钟洁希真空上阵【BE STRONG】MV

 成功冲出海外的大马西洋曲国际歌手钟洁希锐不可挡！钟洁希前一张专辑【There You Are】一推出即屡创佳绩**。唱片公司趁胜追击马上为她推出新英文专辑【BE STRONG】，并在记者会上，加冕钟洁希为“摇滚公主”。

 钟洁希澳洲未来娱乐暨音乐集团的老板Gary Scallan，专程从澳洲远道而来，与马来西亚及新加坡华纳唱片公司董事经理蔡经明先生一起出席钟洁希最新英文专辑【BE STRONG】记者发布会。两人同心送给钟洁希一把镶满钻石的电吉他，并为她戴上公主冠冕。

 Gary表示：「在洁希身上我们看见了一股不可抗拒的摇滚魅力。在未来的日子里，我们将全力为她打造成新生代的摇滚公主。」 Gary强调，虽然洁希解毒公主的身份已深入民心，但他相信洁希摇滚公主的形象，更会光芒四射，耀动全球。

 提及洁希，华纳唱片公司董事经理蔡经明先生（Darren Choy）不忘称赞道：「我非常欣赏钟洁希不畏世俗眼光，勇敢的活出自己，这也是她最吸引我们的地方。她在自己的努力下，一步一步走上音乐事业的颠峰，在摇滚音乐上她也交出亮眼的成绩；我更肯定，摇滚公主是洁希实至名归的称号。」

 虽然皮肤灼伤的部份还没完全修复，清瘦了的钟洁希依然亮丽的戴着新代言日本名表FACEAWARD 出席记者会。提及在澳洲兰斯林(Lancelin) 海滩拍摄【BE STRONG】MV，钟洁希爆料: 「当时，我好不容易的献上了我的第一次，穿上了露背装。但导演还是不满意，苦苦要求我真空上阵。最终，为了有更完美的MV献给大家，我答应了！」当时，现场的工作人员都欢呼喝彩起来，让她相当尴尬。

 她透露，没想过要 “真空”，所以没有准备打底工夫，也没有事先向老公备案。她害羞的笑说「这次为了【BE STRONG】MV，真的豁出去！」

  由于上一张专辑【There You Are】在台湾“五大金榜”西洋榜仅差3分就能胜过冠军女神卡卡，所以唱片公司在新专辑的制作上付出更多资金与精神，希望这一张【BE STRONG】能够击败各路对手，勇夺冠军宝座！

  洁希表示，澳洲老板Gary这次特别对制作人Andy施加了压力，所以Andy在录制新歌时，竟然要求完美中的完美。有一次，Andy特别要求洁希演唱美国腔。曾经在美国留学的洁希对此要求易如反掌，可是Andy却一直NG，说她唱的是英国腔。结果，一句歌词录了百多遍，最后才知道原来Andy要的是“美国黑人腔”，让大家哭笑不得。

 钟洁希最新专辑【BE STRONG】的录音、制作、摄制同样由澳洲团队全数包办，并收录七首全新歌曲，七种不同曲风和演绎方式。在万众瞩目下，洁希全新英文专辑【BE STRONG】，势必带给大家独一无二的体验！

 钟洁希接下来档期排满至年尾，在马来西亚至少有15场签唱会，并将会到台湾，澳洲，伦敦，纽约，加拿大，日本，香港，新加坡，中国，菲力宾，泰国，印尼等全球巡回演出。

【BE STRONG】收录的七首歌为：1) Be Strong   2) Captured My Heart 3) Forever Young   4) Possibility   5) I Don’t Care   6) Love Is Coming Home   7) Feel My Love。日前，她已在YouTube新推出了两支主打歌【BE STRONG】和【FOREVER YOUNG】MV。

 **【There You Are】唱碟大卖，反应热烈，首周推出就勇夺台湾两大最具权威金曲榜，即“五大金榜”和“iRadio金曲榜”（西洋榜）亚军宝座。在“五大金榜” （西洋榜）内，名次超过多位世界级西洋曲歌手，如：澳洲一姐希雅 (Sia) ，爱莉安娜·格兰德 (Ariana Grande) ，席琳狄翁（Celine Dion）等；成绩仅次予美国一姐女神卡卡（Lady Gaga）。在“iRadio金曲榜” （西洋榜）内，钟洁希甚至超越了女神卡卡（Lady Gaga）。钟洁希也是唯一进入台湾五大金榜(西洋榜) 的大马歌手。专辑MV更在短短两个月内获YouTube点阅率突破三百万。

Jessie Chung Paid High Price During Music Video Filming Medical Attention Required after Severe Sunburns

International recording artiste Jessie Chung is taking over the international music scene by storm! Released back in August, Jessie's debut album There You Are stormed into two of Taiwan's most authoritative and prestigious music charts, taking a top 2 position in Five Music's International Chart and another one in i Radio's International Chart. Jessie Chung ranked above many international artists on Five Music's International Chart, including Sia, Ariana Grande, Celine Dion, etc., and placed right next to Lady Gaga. On i Radio's International Chart, Jessie Chung even surpassed Lady Gaga. She is the only Malaysian singer to enter Taiwan's Five Music's International Chart, and to add frosting on the cake—the total music video views on YouTube for Jessie's latest album surpassed 3 million within two months.

There You Are boosted Jessie Chung’s popularity and pushed her sales to unprecedented heights. Seeing potential in her, Jessie’s record label decided to wrap up the production of Be Strong and release it in advance. Be Strong is set to be released on December 15^th.

A few days earlier, Jessie Chung journeyed to the shores of Lancelin and the Pinnacles Desert in Cervantes, WA to get her “Be Strong” music video filmed. In the desert sparsely populated by pinnacles—weathered pillars of limestone—Jessie stood under the scorching sun for more than eight hours and even stretched out her body on the sand. At the end of the session, her skin was severely sunburned, and she had to be sent to the hospital to seek medical attention.

Jessie mentioned that before shooting, a staff member reminded her to put on sunscreen and carry out other measures to get adequate protection from the sun. However, she didn’t take any action upon hearing the advice since she was in a rush. She found out afterwards that all personnel had taken some form of protective measure. During filming, the possibility of getting sunburned never occurred to Jessie at all, since a deceptive, chilly breeze blew from all sides. Not until the filming completed did Jessie realize that there was a tingling sensation in her skin. While inspecting, she realized that her skin had started to redden, peel, and swell as a burning sensation erupted throughout her whole body. The staff immediately sent her to the hospital for treatment, and the doctors who treated her told her that her sunburns were dangerously severe, and that it would take a while to heal.

In another scene, Jessie Chung had to brave the waters. “The wind was fierce and unforgiving, and the towering wall of waves rolled in constantly. Standing in the water and getting beaten by the waves soaked me down to the skin. I was so cold my whole body shivered uncontrollably. On a few occasions, I barely got swept away by high waves. Sigh! I thought I’d taken a toil while filming the previous music videos, but this one blew all of them out of the water. I endured many hardships this time, I really feared for my life!”

The director also asked Jessie to run barefoot on the shore. However, the beach’s surface was uneven and hidden with sharp rock fragments and seashells, and Jessie paid the price for the romantic scene. While running on the beach, her feet was slashed by razor-sharp fragments in the sand multiple times, causing her to lose her balance and fall. Her palm and knees were also scratched, and the unbearable pain forced tears out of her eyes.

Afterwards, Jessie saw a few messages left by fans on Facebook, telling her to be careful while staying under the sun. Although the accident had already taken place, she was nevertheless grateful to everyone’s concern for her. Since her sunburned areas will need some time to recover, her schedule would have to be delayed, and she would not be able to meet her fans temporarily.

P.S. December marks the beginning of summer in Australia, which means that the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. “Be Strong” was filmed near the Antarctic area, which has an immense ozone hole above it. Long term exposure to UV radiation without a layer of ozone protection will result in serious consequences, and may even lead to skin cancer. Every year, around 1,200 people die from skin cancer in Australia.

澳洲拍MV 代价大 钟洁希严重灼伤送院治疗

成功冲出海外的大马西洋曲国际歌手钟洁希，八月份推出英语专辑【There You Are】唱碟大卖，反应热烈，首周推出就勇夺台湾两大最具权威金曲榜，即“五大金榜”和“iRadio金曲榜”（西洋榜）亚军宝座。在“五大金榜” （西洋榜），钟洁希的名次超过多位世界级西洋曲歌手，如：澳洲一姐希雅(Sia)，爱莉安娜·格兰德(Ariana Grande)，席琳狄翁（Celine Dion）等；成绩仅次予美国一姐女神卡卡（Lady Gaga）。在“iRadio金曲榜” （西洋榜），钟洁希甚至超越了女神卡卡（Lady Gaga）。钟洁希也是唯一进入台湾五大金榜(西洋榜)的大马歌手。她的MV更在短短两个月内获YouTube点阅率突破三百万。

【There You Are】让钟洁希人气与销量都锐不可当，唱片公司趁胜追击马上为她推出新专辑【BE STRONG】。最新英文专辑【BE STRONG】将在15/12推出。

日前钟洁希为主打歌【BE STRONG】亲自到澳洲兰斯林(Lancelin）的沙滩和尖峰石阵沙漠（The Pinnacles Desert, Cervantes, WA) 拍摄MV。在烈日暴晒8小时，还要躺在沙漠上，导致她皮肤严重灼伤，必须送院治疗。

洁希提到在开拍前，有工作人员提醒她要做防晒的工作，但她因太匆忙而忽略了。而其他工作人员都做足了防晒措施。在拍摄时，吹来的风还带点凉意，因此钟洁希也没留意可能晒伤的问题。直至拍摄完毕时，洁希发觉皮肤有点刺痛，一查之下，发觉全身皮肤已被灼伤、红肿、全身发烫；工作人员立即将她送院治疗。医生说「这不只是一般晒伤的程度，这根本就是烫伤了 。」

为了MV 钟洁希勇敢下水，她说「当时风很大，浪卷得很高，站在海水之中被浪打得全身都湿透了，冷到发抖。最惊险的还是有几次差点被大浪捲走。唉！这次是我有史以来拍过最艰辛的MV ，体验九死一生的恐惧! 」。

此外，导演要求洁希赤脚在沙滩上奔跑。看似非常浪漫的场景却让洁希付上不少的代价。她奔跑在沙滩上时，因着沙滩地面凹凸不平，又要躲避贝壳碎石，多次因被刺伤而重心不稳跌倒，手掌和膝盖多处划伤。更有一次不留神，被沙滩上的碎石和贝壳之类的硬物扎伤脚，痛得飙泪。

事后，洁希在面子书看到网友的留言，要她小心防晒。虽然意外已经发生了·但她很感谢大家对她的关心。由于被灼伤的地方还需要时间修复，所以之前安排好的通告全都“喊停”，暂时无法与粉丝见面。

P/S：由于拍摄地点非常靠近大气层破洞的南极地带，加上夏季该区由于地球的自转而更接近太阳，所以长时间暴晒下，紫外线会对皮肤造成严重的后果，甚至会引发皮肤癌。每年澳洲有近1200人死于皮肤癌。

Fans had fun all the way to midnight, finishing the gathering with joy and excitement.
