Winners Announced in Finale of “Sisters Who Make Waves 2”

It goes to show you how competitive the China market is. Joey might be deemed #1 in HK for singing but when it comes to 1 single reality show in China, she’s not even scrapping the top 3. In no way does this mean she’s not good, but it simply goes to show you really have to on top of your game to compete in mainland.
But do they really have good songs coming from mainland…hmm…
@exodus for those afflicted with sinophobia, nothing from the mainland is good.
