Hosted by singer Jam Hsiao, the 29th Golden Melody Awards ceremony is taking place at the Taipei Arena tomorrow evening. Singer J.J. Lin’s album “Little Big Us” and singer Chang Hui-mei’s album “Story Thief” lead this year’s nominees for the awards with six nominations each, including Best Mandarin Album.
Other nominees for Best Mandarin Album are: Leon Zheng’s “When I Leave Taipei,” Lala Hsu’s “The Inner Me,” Eason Chan’s “C’mon in~” and Dean Ting’s “The Journal.” Chang is also being nominated for Best Female Singer for the 14th time. If she wins again, she will become the first artist to win four times in this category.
The Lifetime Achievement Awards will go to Julie Sue, a pop diva in the 1980s, and late bass guitar player Joy Kuo, who passed away in June last year. The jury praised Sue for bringing Mando-pop music into a new era, taking a significant step for the entire Mando-pop scene.

Many of us face common health challenges: tired eyes from long screen use, the search for anti-aging support and the need for weight control without resorting to restrictive diets.
