"Boys, it was hot!"

Straits Times Spore

"Taiwanese singer Evan Yo, 20, summed it all up nicely at the reception after the Singapore Hit Awards on Saturday Night.

He has been named one of four Best Newcomers but when asked how he was feeling after the ceremony, he said: "I wish I'm part of Fahrenheit now."

The Taiwanese boyband were the hottest stars at the awards ceremony, organised by MediaCorp Radio's Y.E.S. 93.3FM. It honours the best and most popular in the Mandarin pop music scene each year.

At the Singapore Indoor Stadium, the quartet - Calvin Chen, 26; Jiro Wang, 26; Wu Chun, 27; and Aaron Yan, 20 - took home four trophies, including Most Popular Newcomer and Most Acclaimed Artiste Of The Year. Their song Love's Here (Ai Dao) clinched the Courts Best Music Video and one of the Top Ten Pick Of The Pop awards.

The 4,500-strong audience, mostly women, screamed their lungs out each time the foursome appeared on stage. Even Singapore songbird Stefanie Sun, 29, could not resist quipping on stage: "I'm feeling a little woozy because of a slight flu and because there are so many handsome guys here."

She added as she winked to the crowd: "I'm sitting next to Wu Chun."

Speaking to the media after the 3 and a half hour-long ceremony, Fahrenheit, which was formed in late 2005, were humble about their popularity.
