SINGER Sammi Cheng Sau-man was a guest performer at the just concluded TVB New Talent Singing Contest. After the event, she attended a banquet held especially to celebrate the function.
Cheng said: ''New talents today are more lucky than those in the past as the image of each participant now is designed and packaged by experts, in order to suit their styles before going public.'' The Grasshopper are eager to provide more opportunities for their fans to watch them perform. If shows were held at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium, fans might have to spend more on the tickets.
