Writer／Time	Topic：Who’s a better singer，Andy Lau or Jaeky Cheung?
Andyfan  1-17-2005   2：45p．m．	Some people say Jacky is the best Chinese singer．I don’t think so! Andy is the best．I went to his concert last year．It was so hard to believe，I almost cried! OK，I did cry，but that’s because Andy is so hand-some!
1000 reasons  1-17-2005   4：38p．m．	I don’t agree at all．Andy sounds like every other singer．His voice is nothing special．On the other hand，Jacky’s voice is different from others，and his songs are so romantic!
Movieman  1-17-2005   8：55p．m	I think they’re about the same．But Andy is really a better actor(演員)．I’ve seen almost all of his movies．Remember the one where he was an airplane pilot(飛行員)，and his plane crashed near a farm? I love that movie!
