623梅艷芳日
今天，六月二十三日是奧克蘭市「梅艷芳日」。
在二零零二年六月廿三日，加州州長頒發「傑出慈善藝人」榮譽給梅姐，並且由奧克蘭市長宣布，從二零零三年開始，每年六月二十三日為「梅艷芳日」。
梅姐曾在二零零二年六月廿三日到三藩市開巡迴演唱會，在這個二十週年紀念演唱會上，梅姐亦不忘做善事，為灣區的「家橋驛社」籌款。這次，梅姐美加巡迴演唱會第三站奧克蘭，就是在可容納約6,000名觀眾的Marriott Convention Center舉行，全塲爆滿，還有很多人站著看呢！
演唱會中段，司儀上台跟梅姐說，加州州長戴維斯（Gray Davis）也認識天王巨星梅艷芳，因知道她來表演，特派人來送上祝賀的說話，和祝演唱會成功。
另外，奧克蘭市市長為表揚梅姐熱心公益事務，特別命二零零二年六月廿三日為「梅艷芳日」。這時，台下歌迷立刻歡呼拍掌狂叫！
美國以及加拿大總共曾定下三個「梅艷芳日」：
四月十八日--美國三藩市
六月廿三日--奧克蘭市
十月廿三日--加拿大多倫多市

梅艷芳日前於美國大西洋城登台，勁歌熱舞之餘還加入歌劇形式表演，給人耳目一新的感覺，吸引數千觀眾入場支持，終場時台下歌迷更一併站立起舞，久久不願散去，且大喊「阿梅二十年不變，只有變得愈來愈美麗」，令阿梅相當感動。
今次阿梅登台，依舊帶同草蜢及徒弟彭敬慈作嘉賓，最近以金短髮示人的她特意將頭髮梳起半呎高，雖然在香港開演唱會時，阿梅穿上宮廷式禮服而走光，今次她再以這身打扮出場，將台下情緒掀至高點。
阿梅入行二十年的演唱，當然少不了以往首本名曲的回顧，由唱抒情歌〈似是故人來〉到快歌〈妖女〉、〈淑女〉等，阿梅吸引了不少歌迷擠擁到台前，台上台下打成一片，氣氛熱鬧。#

Just call her the Eastern Madonna
Pop superstar Anita Mui has date at Casino Niagara

Anita Mui, the Eastern Madonna, is coming to Ontario.
Frequently starring in movies with Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, and Chow Yun-Fat, Mui is more famous as an actress in North America.
But her real strength is as a singer, and her upcoming concert, July 11 at Casino Niagara, is generating a lot of excitement in the Chinese community. Her popularity spans all age groups and backgrounds.
Three-quarters of the tickets for the Anita Mui Fantasy Gig were sold out within a month after the news was released, said Ken Wong, manager of the concert’s ticket agency.
Ticket prices ranged from $48 to $168.
Mui is often compared with Madonna, not only because their careers started at almost the same time but also because they are chameleons ?constantly projecting a new image. A straight translation of her nickname is ”100 changing Mui.”
Her gender-bending persona ranges from elegant aristocrat to wild tomboy, from gangster to schoolgirl, and from hard-boiled businesswoman to charming sexpot.
She never repeats herself on the stage and much of a concert’s budget is spent on costumes.
Mui’s chameleon quality is also reflected in her 39 albums. She sings in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese and her repertoire includes love songs, dance tunes, and Chinese opera.
Also known as the diva of Asia, Mui began singing in nightclubs at age 4. She became a pop singer 14 years later, in 1982, the year she won first place in the First New Talent Singing Contest in Hong Kong.
In the succeeding two decades, Mui has been the most successful female singer globally, wherever Chinese is spoken. More than 10 million copies of her albums were sold in her first 11 years in the business.
Mui has given more than 140 solo concerts in Hong Kong, where she won the award for the most popular female singer for five straight years ?until she announced in 1990 that she would not accept any more singing awards.
The Toronto concert is part of a world tour celebrating her 20th anniversary as an entertainer. Mui finished her concert in Malaysia last month (May) and will go on to Atlantic City, Oakland, and Sydney after Toronto.
Her one and only previous concert in Toronto was in 1993.#

杰夫：很簡單，如果你看過我在一個大論壇放上一件梅姐往事，你就會明白，我們的政府如何不濟，及你看看香港歷來得到荷蘭水蓋是那些人士。我post當年的事：
這一篇並不是怎麼分享，其實我都想講的，但是這麼多年來都沒有朋友及有關人士提及過。最近有朋友與我說起，不如講出來啦。這件事情我覺得對梅姐有點兒過份。事隔已經超過十年，有必要為梅姐平反。
大家記得香港大球場重建後(94年)有開幕活動嗎？香港政府籌備了一連串開幕期的活動。而梅姐已經承諾了參與的，及作第一個在大球場演唱的歌手。但梅姐提出一個條件，不可以用她的名字作宣傳，怎至會出現這次的開幕禮。因為當時梅姐還未作出重踏舞台的決定，各方面都沒有問題及作出配合。梅姐亦作出了這個音樂會的綵排及選曲。
但是音樂會的前三天，有某位官員(不方便開名)，他有份做統籌，但沒有開過會。他發現了程序表上有梅姐的名字，立刻說：梅艷芳，找過出身這麼低的歌女，立刻取消她的演出，找個另一位。但當時已經不能找過其他人了。他們無計可施下，唯有硬著頭皮再找梅姐幫手，起初梅姐都答應。不幸地以上的說話給梅姐的朋友知道，要她不要參與這個活動。而當晚的活動場刊，程序上有神秘表演嘉賓，但事後沒有派發。他們都盡最大的努力遊說梅姐參與，最後當然梅姐沒有到場啦。當晚就由司儀葉麗儀代唱，成為了大球場第一位歌手演唱。傳媒方面都有點顎然。
當時好多傳媒，都說是梅姐會參與，但始終官方沒有公佈過梅姐會出席，最後事件沒法得到証實。而這個官員(現在已經不在政府內)，亦是我最討厭的官員，他導致了李蕙敏開不到演唱會，你們估下啦！

唉，何止是香港政府？單看蠟像舘就足夠啦，八十年代叱吒風雲的巨星要到逝世後才有蠟像，而時下的年輕偶像一個接一個排隊等著有蠟像；然而最諷刺的是，香港再也無法重現過去輝煌，最留戀的也是八十年代。
失去以後才懂珍惜，人大多數不都是這樣嗎？ 2007-06-25 16:39:10
eddie,
多谢你的分享哦!
我以前在新闻媒体上班的时候,
就听许多国际新闻的前辈谈董伯伯的事,
香港,真的卧虎藏龙啊.
许多黑暗面,经过岁月洗礼,
其实都一直留在大家心中.
放心,梅姐绝对会原谅原谅那位无耻的官员的.
