2017 Migu Music Awards: Jane Zhang gets two awards

Jane is practically a “permanent guest” of Migu Music Awards from several years. In this edition Jane collects even a brace of awards: “Most Popular Singer of the Year for Mainland China” and “Top Ten Song of the Year” for “Beauty” (思美人, Si Mei Ren), song theme of the famous television drama “Song of Phoenix” (思美人). Here all episodes with English subtitles.

2017 Migu Music Awards: Jane Zhang’s performance

Great energy and perfect performance for Jane Zhang singing on the stage of Migu Music Awards 2017 held Saturday, December 16 in Shanghai at Mercedes Benz Arena. Jane’s performance, which consist of 4 songs with different musical styles, wowed the entire audience in Shanghai.

We edited a video including all the moments of Jane’s participation in the famous singing event.

It starts with the red carpet, then the musical performance with the songs “Down the River” (順流而下), “Dust My Shoulders Off“, “Wait Until You Finally” (终于等到你) and “Hot” (热) , to follow the time of the award ceremony and finally a very nice interview after the awards.

Jane fashion icon

On the red carpet Jane wore an elegant fire-red veil dress by We Couture and a Dior choker, while on the stage, during the performance and awards, Jane’s outfit was a black Crop Top (or Midriff, if you prefer), distressed trousers studded with diamonds in a bit ‘punk style and black shoes open with high heels.

So belly on show for the “Goddess of Pop” but, as is appropriate for a fashion icon as Jane, navel covered with a sweater around the waist.

The “Crop Top” was a trend exploded in the ’80s, when t-shirts cut or knotted under the breasts left the belly uncovered and Madonna in fact wore one under a mesh tank top in the MV of the song Lucky Star.
