Golden Melody Awards: Host A-Lin Joking Blames Lulu for Ceremony Overtime

The 37th Golden Melody Awards ceremony concluded late on June 27th, despite generally positive reviews for its performances and overall execution. The extended duration of the event became a talking point, with host A-Lin addressing the issue during her post-ceremony celebration.

When asked about the time overruns, A-Lin humorously pointed to Lulu, who presented her with the award for Song of the Year for "Happiness is Singing." A-Lin recalled Lulu sharing a voice message A-Lin had sent her, which included a playful instruction: "You have to host this award properly." A-Lin quipped that Lulu "betrayed" her by revealing the message, adding, "You can't be impulsive and give it to Jolin Tsai!" This exchange generated considerable laughter.

It's Lulu! She betrayed me, I have to talk about her too. No, she's actually very cute. I didn't expect her to play my voice message... After all, she's my senior at the Golden Melody Awards, and she betrayed me, really impulsively, above me.

Beyond the hosting antics, online discussions highlighted the tribute to the late musician Tu Ying, who received a special contribution award. The segment sparked divided opinions, with many netizens finding Tu Ying's son's speech excessively long, turning a potentially moving moment into a tedious one. Some viewers reportedly changed channels during the tribute. Conversely, others sympathized, acknowledging that it was a unique opportunity for the son to speak about his father and that he might naturally speak for a longer duration.

You can't be impulsive and give it to Jolin Tsai!
