Janice Vidal (Chinese Simplified: 卫兰; Chinese Traditional: 衛蘭), born April … Read Full Bio ↴Janice Vidal (Chinese Simplified: 卫兰; Chinese Traditional: 衛蘭), born April 13, 1982, is a female singer in Hong Kong. She is of mixed parentage with a Filipino father and a mixed Chinese and Korean mother. As a Chinese singer she had chosen the Chinese name Wei Lan (衛蘭), although most of her fans refer to her simply as Janice. In the past she went under the name Renee in her musical work prior to her debut album in 2005 and "Ming Lok Tai" (明樂蒂) in a EEG singing competition in 2000.

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.

My Love My Fate
衛蘭 Lyrics

my love my fate you will fade away
以后隔天与地
I love I hate I'll miss you always
我永远亦爱你
太美好的东西　会走
还未爱够了你　怎放手
从来不肯假想　
失去你那感受

我这对脚　怎么走
从来并未练习过温柔
迟学你或已经没法接受
然后你会说我跟她分左与右
谁希罕造种手拖手
my love my fate you will fade away
再没有恋爱味
I love I hate I'll always be afraid
永远也害怕你
我要首先讲声　我走
还是爱到你说　请你走
如果讲一声　
请照顾　我感受
我最怕你讲出口
从来并未练习过温柔
迟学你或已经没法接受
然后你会说我跟她分左与右
谁希罕造种手拖手
下次开心已要靠自己
下次顶多饰演好知己
其实再次见你　真需要
靠演技　也要你我好心地
my love my fate you will fade away
过去当做看戏

世界当没有你
Ooh......

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "My Love My Fate" by 衛蘭 explore the bittersweet emotions of a person coming to terms with their relationship ending. The song begins with the realization that the person they love will fade away from their life, and even though they will always have love for them, they cannot hold on to something that they know cannot be sustained. The lyrics suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance, as if the singer has already experienced the initial burst of pain that comes with a break-up but has now come to terms with the situation.

The song goes on to describe the challenges of learning to let go and move on. The central conflict of the song is the singer's struggle to find a balance between holding on to their feelings for the other person and the need to move forward. They feel like they have not learned how to be gentle with their actions and are afraid that they will not be able to cope with the aftermath of the break-up. However, they are willing to take that risk and let go of their love in order to avoid further pain.

Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and the pain of letting go. It suggests that even in the face of heartbreak, there is a sense of peace that comes with accepting one's fate and moving on.
