Jewel's critique:        
         

Seems that Jackie's Japanese albums were so popular in Japan that he wanted to try it in Hongkong too. On the album, simply called "Sing Lung" (his Cantonese artist name), Jackie mostly sings his Japanese songs (from his first albums from 1984 - 86) with new written Cantonese lyrics! Here's an detailed list:
 
   new track (on this album):    old track:
 track 1:  My Little Girl (Canto)  =  "Platonic Intuition" (Japanese)
 track 2:  I stop the heart pain ( Canto)  =  "Rosy coloured pupils" (Japanese)
 track 3:  Iron man, soft feelings (Canto)  =  "China Blue" (Japanese)
 track 4:  Flight of the Dragon (Canto) -- new track -- but this is a Cantonese verison of the English
 sung "Armour of God"- theme song (for the international market
 movie release)
 track 5:  Just for tonight (Canto)  =  "Just for tonight" (English)
 track 6:  OK I love you (Canto)  =  "I love you, you, you" (Japanese)
 track 7:  1000 times... (Canto)  =  "Be like a storm" (Japanese)
 track 8:  Waan Ngau (Canto)  =  "August Carmen" (Japanese)
 track 9:  Life's fulfillment (Canto) -- new track --
 track 10:  Hero Story (Canto) -- new track -- (theme song of Jackie's 1985's movie classic "Police Story")

You see, if you have the older albums you nearly have all those songs already... but... here you can hear them in Cantonese instead of Japanese. Still I have to confess this Cantonese production doesn't sound that great. You can hear Jackie's singing talent so wonderfully in the Japanese versions but it seems that they recorded the Cantonese tracks in a hurry or something like that. They sound cheap at times. Sad, many of those songs are so great...  only "I stop the heart pain" can make me really satisfied. For the rest of the old-new songs - better stick to the Japanese versions.   :-/

Only 5 out of 10 for his first Cantonese album.
