Mediacorp Artists - News And Gossips 新传媒新闻和八卦 (Compiled)

[Guest couchpotato]

Nothing to do with the game itself but Bryan Wong seems hotter in this one. 

Is it just me or is his bulge like really distracting

[NSFetish]

I seriously think the money is the most distracting thing in the show. at $250,000 grand prize for the couple who walks away with it, I think he can kiss goodbye to working for the next 3 years even if he splits the money 50-50 with government taxes.

 

But so far there have been no male couples posing as friends entering the competition, only celebrities special, and ordinary straight male female pairing. maybe we might have a sportsmen/singapore calender guys featuring jason chee or Gerald Lim the model. it would make things saucier and nicer to watch on top of the prize.

[Guest couchpotato]

i guess the money being distracting is a good thing. imagine if the grand prize is only $1,000..

[Guest English teacher]

Gosh, think you guys totally missed the point. The most distracting would have been Bryan Wong's English! He was totally out of touch in English, and was often struggling at providing some sort of a commentary on the contestant(s) in that one minute game time. Often, he said the trivialest of things and sometimes not even audible. It was a real pain watching him trying to be funny, encouraging, compere-stylo ... all at once in his half baked English. I rather listen to construction piling rumble!

My goodness.... I am ROTFL .... you really hit the nail on the head.  That fake accent is truly cringeworthy.  I am just wondering if there's really such a dearth of English speaking talents that they have to allow such crossovers.  Someone mentioned '8 days said he was a right fit for the show'.  If camp is what they are after, perhaps, but at least get it in the correct language please!

[hairy springroll]

Yes he's trying too hard that accent

so unnatural

[abang]

Honestly, I think Bryan Wong stays the same throughout.

Regardless of the show, he speaks and acts (cute) in the same way.

He is probably in his early 40s now but still wants to behave (at least on screen) like a kid.

You know come to think of it, wouldnt the Muttons (Justin Ang and Vernon) do a better job?

 

The other one I cannot tahan is Hossan Leong.

Too much drama and hand gestures and  really the celebrities are recycled in the recent season.

Can't they find enough "talents" in Mediacrap?

[fab]

He certainly speaks better than average ch 8 artistes but he sounds weird when conversationing with english speaking artistes eg. Pierre png.

That's so true. 

His pants look like it's gonna explode or atleast pop-out.

 

But if you just focus on his english then I guess it starts to get annoying at some point.

[Guest cmi]

“I also have this strange habit of speaking English with an American, British or Australian accent, because I watch a lot of overseas shows at home and pick up whatever accent which sounds nice. So I had to be careful while hosting the show,” said Wong with a laugh.

Erm ok,... but none of the accent sound right. Mishmash accent is what bryan is doing LOR

Why is he so skinny...hes a SPG right ?...... is he sick ?

 

His accent is terrible , no unnatural, nothing compares to CNA Steve Lai or Timothy Go......what kind of talent Mediacorp have for that show...Total Flop

"Conversationing"?

[Guest Doremi]

Brian Wong tried very hard to speak English. Acting "cute" is his forte because he is gay and it makes him popular and mostly influenced by Kym Ng in their earlier years now developed into "habbit". Eventually, you see Jack Neo and his gang bought into such "cute-ness" trying to gain popular points. Mark Lee was an obvious one to begin with.

 

However,  I have to agree that just because Brian Wong is multi-talented (from cooking to design...etc) doesn't mean he is suited to host English programme.  The only person whom can be fluently bi-lingual in Mediacorp is non other than Michelle Chong. The rest can step aside.

 

 Hossen Leong is quite consistent in tone and gesture and he is an opened gay.  In private and on TV, that is how he behaved, so we can't fault his gayness and he is quite opened and un-shy about it.  Similarly for Kumar.  I like their courage, or their natural demeanur, unlike many gay who tried very hard to conceal themselves to blend into the straight world.  Fortunately, Media Corp continue to bring them back into the show regardless of their loose wrist and sissinesss.  In fact, I think Kumar is more suited to host outside the TV than inside it. The message of acceptance is there whether straight viewers like it or not.

 

So, let's not judge whether the person is gay or straight or how he behaved but rather whether he is talented in the eyes of the viewers.  I would prefer Brian wong to be more Singlish and than turn the show around instead.  Currently, I see him struggling to act  "formal" in the English show.  Something you don't see when he host the Chinese show.

[Guest English Teacher]

My post this morning was not meant to be Bryan Wong-bashing nor to spark off a discussion on him being gay. But seriously, it's painfully sad to watch Bryan, well into his 40s, to perform so badly as a compere. Even if you put his bad English aside, which to me is indisputably bad, no questions asked; what's even more unacceptable is that he is trying too hard to be witty and not mindful of his excessive body language. For a compere of more than a decade of experience, his performance is still one dimensional, and he evidently can't shake off his City Beat persona. He fails to create a distinct compere personality for every show such that it becomes refreshing for viewers. This is a franchise game show show for heaven's sake, but he still employs the same cutesy antics of 摆家乐and城人杂志. One final piece of advice I must give Bryan: do not try so hard to be funny. If you don't have a funny bone, then quit it. It becomes painfully cringeful to watch him trying to employ low brow variety show humour in a obviously more sleek and branded show like A minute to win it. Sigh.

[Guest cmi2themax]

Tts not the only grammatical mistake in fab's post. Teehee. But since he is not BWong, i dunch care so much lor

[Guest La]

 This is a franchise game show show for heaven's sake,

We should not single out one person to criticise. If you look at the bigger scheme of thing, which Mediacorp franchise show is successful? I see Singapore Idol a great failure too.   It is the gene thing, the TV is state controlled. We can't produce enough "Omp!!!" power, the actors/actress are far from desirable compared to Hong Kong talents, not to mention the limited and oft repeated soul. Bluntly, a recycled product with no new personalities. I also find Gurmit Singh and Shuhaimi Yusof getting stale and not funny at all but they will always be there for clueless reason.

[whitedick]

This host is hot.

InThailand, HK, Taiwan and China have multiple pools of human talent. Media cock  have been using recycled talents, moving fro one channel to another. No new blood at all to replaced aging OAKTRESS, how can media cock rejuvenate like HK/Taiwan and Thailand, nothing but antiques collectors here, whatever new shows they can get.

The roots of Mediacock failure are:

 

1)  Budget (you see recycle shows, programmes, movie and same people throughout the year)

2)  Copycat/non creativity  (could be fearful of public criticism especially from the conservative ones)

3)  Heavily regulated by MDA 

4)  Internal Staffs/members are overly awarded (you see same persons getting award every year)

5)  No competition

Why is Chen Bi Feng, despite so many bad incidents  and infamous publicity, claimed mental problem , still allow in the TV shows etc ?

 

In overseas, one would have been disconnected from all medias. Look at Jaycee Chan ( Jacky Chan 's son) involved in drugs in China , removed and advertisement replaced within 24 hrs and Ko chen dong ( Taiwan ) , removed from all contracts.....are we not world class as claimed, we very no class.

Lolx. *shake head*

Some ppl ah, never do homework.

I also think it should have been "Quan YiFeng".

Simi Chen Bifeng?! Wrong frequency dear.

[Guest Guest]

BRYAN WONG is irritating to watch . Period.

 

He has his hands in many pie preparing for the day he says goodbye to TV. Period.

 

BRYAN WONG is as irritating as Chen Han Wei is gay . Period.

[mate69]

BRYAN WONG is irritating to watch . Period.

 

This sums up everything neatly. 

[Guest Super hate Bryan]

Who is Bryan trying to kid?

As a chinese compere, he is just goofing around, often using the same old phrases and even tongue tied, struggling for words. It really happens on national TV! Needless to say as a English compere, he is no better than a JC student intern, and worst, with the same goofiness and mandarin inflections. No eye see!

But that's still not the scariest. The ultimate is when Bryan tries to career switch to a big time interior designer simply because he has been a compere for a few seasons of 摆家乐. If so, then all commentators of sports programmes can all be sportsmen and financial reporters can become Warren Buffet.

In a recent interview to talk about his new found career as the owner and chief designer of an ID firm, Bryan tries to pass himself off as Karl Lagerfield designing his own furniture. Please Bryan, you look and sound as unconvincing as you trying to mimic manliness.

[Guest Guest]

Gosh so many haters! What has he done to you people? No wonder he's not coming out any time soon. So many bitches in this circle!

[Guest wonglokekiang]

Omg.. so now he is NOT coming ot due to haters. Er. They dont hate him coa he is gay. They hate him cos his gayness brigs str8s to hate gays. Check out edmw,hwz. All of them equate him as gay and irritating

[ThinkTank]

I can't stand how Byran Wong talking and behaving in that show and I have stopped watching it.... I think Adrian Pang will be a better Host for Minutes to Win !!!

[Guest Guest]

Str8s hate u cos u dunno how to handle them. Why blame others for your own shortcomings? Very funny you people. Bryan is really not the worst kind of gay. At least he appeal to some women.

[Guest Hate Bryan]

客观来说，bryan外形还可以，只是也许不是一张人见人爱的脸；脸蛋到四肢就是有股阴气，也许是眉毛修得太假，或脸部表情很做作，你也许觉得那是喜感，但也会有人觉得很惹人厌。

姑且不论他外形，作为一个专业主持人，他是远远不到家的。如果是大型节目，因为有专人为他撰稿，也许还好，他还主持得有板有眼，虽然就是还觉得他一直不够自然，特别爱炫而常常弄巧反拙。但若是主持一些资讯类/实况节目他就破绽百出：词穷、不够急智、幽默得心有余而力不足、频频吃螺丝、阴阳怪气。。。惨不忍睹。

他就是不择不扣的阴阳人。英语能讲但还搬不上舞台，华语念稿OK但要他侃侃而谈、自由发挥就一塌糊涂。总之中西两者都半桶水。他最近涉入电视剧演出，也是尴尬非常。年轻不够年轻，熟男又不够味道，因此演一些怪胎、怪咖还行；要他正正经经演个倾城男主角就崩谈了。

人到四十，主持也未满，还学人半路出家开室内设计公司? Bryan，好好专心定下心来把一样东西干好再说。

[Guest Guest]

四肢阴气? Omg... first time heard of this. 你还真能形容! :X

[navyblue]

Agree.

No comment.

Agree. Both are mature guys (gays), but one choose to act cute and one choose to act fashionista, I really no eye to see.

Look at the gay celebs overseas, so charming even women would fall for them.

[Guest Br(yan) without yang]

I don't blame Mediacorp for the judgement failure of casting Bryan Wong in Minute to Win it. The TV station has a dearth of talents anyway.

However, I do blame Bryan Wong for consistently putting forth such grating performances. He should at least get his basics right. At the least, he should do some level of grammatical scripting (it's real pain to watch him ad lib), refrain from excessively acting cute (despite his age and his lack of humour), as well as making an attempt to be a more engaging host (have you seen how awkward he looks whenever he says, "you've got a minute to win it, good luck!" He sounds more lame and limp than a piano page turner.

It's all his fault. Period.

after chatting for a while, I had cam2cam with someone. We agreed not to show face. i cannot see his face at 1st, he got nice and smooth, and quite a huge one. but, when actions got hotter and the lens accidentally moved. i saw his face ! and he might not realize. I dared not tell him as I was afraid he might suddenly discontinue. That's the closer I got with a cute and handsome local actor.

wah eh anyone know who the actor is?

[Guest Guest]

wah eh anyone know who the actor is?

That happened in 2011 .... During that time, local actors who can be considered cute and handsome were:

Julian Hee

Alvin Ng

Zhang Yao Dong

Romeo Tan, Edmund Tan just won the Star search.

Did I miss anyone else? Could be any 1 of them.

[Guest Guest]

Seemingly, many gays here speak perfect english (or shall I say the Queen's english?) but cannot even type in proper English sentences. So amazing! Lol

[Guest pokekiang]

Because many gays here arent sashaying on minute to win it n pretending to be angmo. Well, not all here are potato queens la.

[Guest Guest]

Bryan wong is one dimensional artiste (if I can even call him an artiste, that is). He derived his initial popularity from City Beat eons ago but he never seemed to grow out of it even two decades on. He still act cute, speaks broken English/mandarin, tries hard even in low brow humour .... with an unmistakable shade of his City Beat host character. The same can be said of Kym Ng and Sharon Au. They also never seemed to grow out City Beat, and still is lacking on their hosting. If you give them a script, they might do fine. But if you listen to them speak off the cuff, gosh, I rather listen to chalk harshly screeching on a surface. A few days ago, Sharon Au went on radio station 933 to plug StylexStyle, and she speaks really badly for an ex host. Worst, she still tries to effect low brow City Beat hosting humour, it was damn sad. And the worst is Kym Ng, wonder why anybody calls her 阿姐. Her command of the chinese language is at best, O levels. Till today, her comic timing is still off, often lapses in a struggle for words, and her raspy voice is often even incomprehensible and grating. If you watch Kym Ng's programmes 10 years ago and compare with her current ones: no difference. In fact, even more irritating cos you have ran out of patience with her.

[Guest English Teacher]

Bryan,

You make up your freaking mind whether you want to pronounce "now" as "nell" or "nown"; and if your friggin lips want to pronounce "seconds" as "sec-kerns" or "sec-cans" and many many more other shizo pronunciations. In the heat of excitement, you just don't know how silly u sound.

[Guest bryancock]

 I've seen Bryan Wong erected cock in full view before me in a shower room. The biggest (long & thick) i've seen in Spore although the head is too deep red for my liking. It curve inward like a giant banana. I wonder if he is bottom or top ?

[fab]

Oh yes i heard sharon on the radio. Really awkard. Typical mandarin speaker with fake accent and exagerated pronounciation.
