If you're one of those who have a knack for sussing out those skin-crawling, pre-celeb' phases of today's biggest stars: here's one to feed those cravings. Having been an ardent fan since the late 90's, imagine my delight upon stumbling onto this uncanny footage of cantopop superstar - Sammi Cheng. Stocky nudge-you-to-death shoulder pads; puffy bounce-me-off-my-feet?pants, complete with?cheesy?choreography?clad a?pudgy, and probably pimply?adolescent Sammi at her very stage debut. Rewind 18 years back to 1988, 'Ah Mi' - as she is affectionately known?in her circuit of followers - still?at the ingenue days, eras before the mess of super stardom and smog of gossip and scandals mangled. At 15-16, then queerly named Twinnie, she paved her foray into showbiz at?a local station's?Talent-time?with this ditty "Cheers" a duet originally?crooned by?Sally Yeh and George Lam. Thereafter losing the crown to Anita Mui; emerging as?the second runner-up, what would follow is a 2 year high school hiatus and?some gruelling lacklustre 5 years?toil as a B-lister before a Warner contract which eventually plummeted her to?heady celebrity and A-lister status.? Trite as it sounds,?the rest is history. Cringe if you must, snigger if you can't, but alas, enjoy!
