I’ve only seen her in two movies so I can’t say much about her acting, but I must say that her beauty is really striking. It’s a very unique type of beauty that totally caught me off guard. I like that. Very refreshing.

March 18th, 2007 at 12:34 am
mirror… she’s getting old, but still looks good. I don’t mind having a girlfriend like that at all.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
I really like Kelly Chen. She’s very pretty and her voice is just amazing. She’s acted quite a bit, but I prefer her singing. Especially her themesong for the Korean drama DaeJangGeum!
March 28th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
nice site
March 28th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
Thanks for the complement sunilbabu.
March 31st, 2007 at 2:42 pm
She looks damn good to me!
March 31st, 2007 at 4:30 pm
Kelly is still looking good… but getting old pretty fast. These days there are artist that still look good (some even better) in 40s; Kelly unfortunately lacks a bit of elegance to shine in recent years, and is not showing the ‘energy’ as she used to be.
April 1st, 2007 at 1:39 am
She may be getting “burn out”. I can see hoew those stars would. That business takes alot of youthful energy with the crazy schedules they have to keep.
April 1st, 2007 at 1:45 am
I knew of a really popular American country singer who got out of the business after just one album. She had a big hit song and was touring and very very popular and pretty….and young. But she said it was too much for her with all the tight schedules and meeting people all the time and just wanted to go back and live a “normal life”.
Of course, I read that she married a rich music producer, so I guess that made it a little easier for her to quit also, lol. But bottom line is, she obviously didn’t want to be in the business anymore.
April 1st, 2007 at 2:25 am
I guess Kelly is still enjoying her entertainment career… despite not as influential, she has a healthy image all these years and is considered one of the role model of youngster in Hong Kong. Even young stars that are more popular than her these days are showing respect for her… that’s something precious.
April 29th, 2007 at 4:08 am
That’s kind of a nice new photo.
May 6th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
I don’t know why but sometimes Kelly can be drop-dead gorgeous one day but a total disaster the next day. But one thing is for sure, her music is great–thumbs up.
May 6th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
Fuji… agree on look. I think it’s something about her makeup, sometimes good, sometimes bad.
June 7th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
she used to do study-abroad in japan (in Kobe) and my friend knew her at the school….but she told me everybody was turned off and was dissapointed beause she was so spoiled and acted like a brad. plus, here japanese still isnt that good after that three yrs of study abroad. that’s a long time, dude.

Hi, Thanks for the Kelly posting. I came from USA to China in the fall of 2001. Kelly’s music was one of the first songs I heard and liked. When I asked someone to find out who it was, they led me to one of her CDs and when I saw her photo on the cover, I felt my knees go weak! I think she is by far one of the classiest, most beautiful and conservative HK/Chinese stars, who doesn’t compremise herself (i.e. nudity or harsh language). And now she is…35???? I can’t believe it! Well, she is aging quite well, don’t you think?
June 17th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Artists these days are keeping their look quite well… they still look fine in 30s or even 40s.

October 13th, 2008 at 2:05 am
Hi.. I’m Joy from Indonesia, did you know that Kelly Chen is very popular in my country?
I like her beautiful hits-song ‘ Ji Shi Ben ‘ that very familiar here..
That’s the first her song that I heard, and since the day I like her. Other her songs that familiar here are Xi Wang, Ta Yi Ding Hen Ai Ni, Wo Bu Guo Ai Ni, Xing Kou Bu Yi, Dui Ni Ta Cai Hu, Automatic, Lovers Concerto, Bei Ji Xue and the last is an OST An Empheress And The Warrior Sui Meng Er Fei with Leon Lai..
She’s truly talented woman and low profile artist. I love her so much although I just a little know what is the meaning of her songs,,hehehe..
Her songs are nice to hear..
Although her popularity is not high like last ago anymore I still love her so much and still waiting for her new albums..
She’s still being the Queen Of Pop in my heart…
November 8th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
