Janice is emerging as one of the new singers in Hong Kong and Asia. Her music style is a mixture of Cantopop, Jazz and R&B. She performs her songs in English, Cantonese and Mandarin and will be performing songs in Korean in the near future.
Before becoming an artist herself, Janice had always enjoyed singing. Her voice came to the attention of renowned producer Mark Lui by chance when she recorded the backing vocals for one of mega star Leon Lai's songs in 2004. Janice obviously left a favourable impression on Lui, as upon Lui's stumbling across her voice he informed Leon, who in turn decided to offer Janice a contract with AMusic (東亞唱片), a newly-formed record label where both Leon Lai and Mark Lui were major investors (Leon transferred himself to Amusic as well). As a result Janice became the first newcomer to sign for AMusic in 2004.
Belonging to the same music label as Leon Lai, Janice first caught the media's attention days after Christmas of 2004 by covering in English one of Leon's essential tunes "Unspoken Words of Deep Feelings" (情深說話未曾講) on radio. The cover song quickly become a hit. Some fans initially thought it was an overseas singer who was covering one of Leon's classic hits, but were surprised to find out the singer was an unknown Hong Kong rookie. Since it was Christmas in Hong Kong at the time, Janice's first song was swiftly followed by a Christmas version of another Leon Lai cover "不可一世" (this time in Cantonese). The Cantonese cover of "Unspoken Words of Deep Feelings" (情深說話未曾講) was aired on radio in Spring 2005 for the first time. She learned English when she was in the United States.
By April 2005, Janice had become known as a mysterious singer who sung several cover versions of Leon Lai's songs, but whose face has never been shown in public. After roughly six months of radio publicity and building public anticipation, her face was finally unveiled when her debut album "Day & Night" was released on 13 April 2005.
On 25 November of the same year, Janice released her second album "My Love", a rarity for a newcomer in Hong Hong's music industry.
In mid-December of 2005 Janice was nominated by Commercial Radio 2 for the 2005 Hong Kong Music Awards Best Female Singer, which results are due out on Jan 1, 2006. On 1 January 2006, Janice was awarded by Commercial Radio Hong Kong (CRHK) the Gold prize for 2005 Best Female Newcomer., to the delight of her fans and family.
情人甲
衛蘭 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
但谁又会知 担演主角之时 是当中哪一次
每个幸运儿 幸运至此
从前也有路过 客串天使
人人难免 都饰演过 情人甲吧
将爱从前度家 护送达下个他
从独个憔悴
到结伴回家
付几倍代价
做牛做马 先至练成 这挥洒 间歇性孤寡 哪用怕
甲是儍子 乙乃白痴 彪炳的爱情 或靠此
漫长大战中 得失不看一时 是一生决的志
看见幸运儿 幸运至此 為何要再问到 那过去与出处
人人难免 都饰演过 情人甲吧
将爱从前度家 护送达下个他
从独个憔悴
到结伴回家
你要错恋几多个他
付几倍代价
做牛做马 先至练成 这挥洒 间歇性孤寡 哪用怕
何妨信多走几码
就拾到天际月牙
原来你我那些冤枉路
為最后遇见他
人人难免 都饰演过 情人甲吧
将爱从前度家 护送达下个他
从独个憔悴
到结伴回家
你要错恋几多个他 付几倍代价
自行练到 恋爱达人 那挥洒
偶尔跌一把
哪怕用

很開心可以和自己欣賞的歌手合作，歌曲還要是自己剛派台的新作《情人甲》，合唱版已在家中首播，聽出聲音裏的感動，衛蘭，謝謝你。總覺得她弱不禁風，弱質纖纖，連說話時的語調都這樣，但可能就這，她的歌聲中就是滲透一種呵護的憐憫，每每都能表達歌曲中的觸感，尤其情歌。和她一起做訪問，她說感恩有這個機會合作，而我內心亦然，可能大家都是神的兒女，份外心照。 找她合唱的一個原因是一次在雷頌德的個唱中，再次聽到她的現場聲音，實在感動，馬上和朋友說，這有感覺的聲音實在久違了。又隔了一陣子，工作人員在想我的新歌應有一個合唱版，我第一個就想到她，結果就這樣，一拍即合，出了一首《情人甲》的合唱版。記者問道和我合唱過的女歌手當中有甚麼不同，我說當然不同，因為她們都是獨立的，都帶不同的歷練和處世態度，出來的聲音表達都各自精采，反而和她們合作的共通點，就是在錄音時我都會帶點緊張和期盼，希望盡力把歌唱好作個報答。

This is a good song. Tomorrow I can finally see Andy Hui singing this song live in his concert in Shenzhen. I think his songs represent my childhood. I bought a seat very close to him so I look forward to it!!
