Vivian Chow, the 58-year-old "Hong Kong Jade Girl Goddess," known for her youthful appearance, recently performed at a Wenzhou concert. However, reports emerged claiming her singing was subpar, with multiple instances of off-key notes and missed beats, described by some as a "disaster-level performance."

Chinese netizens were quick to criticize. Comments flooded social media, with some users sarcastically remarking on her ability to perform without embarrassment, questioning her vocal stamina with phrases like "almost out of breath," and directly asking, "Is she short of money?"

Following the performance, Chow posted an explanation on social media. She detailed the challenges posed by a typhoon that led to over 200 flight cancellations at Shenzhen Airport. Chow considered herself fortunate to have been among the last passengers to successfully board a flight, anticipating a difficult performance in adverse weather but ultimately performing in comfortable conditions.
