Leehom & Vivian tops the popularity poll!

Shing Bao 25/7/00

Who is the person that this new generation of boys and girls fanatsize sexually about? According to the recent survey by a Taiwanese programme, "Taiwan's Variety King" Vivian Hsu Ruo Xuan ranks the tops, followed closely behind by Shu Qi, Jolin Tsai and Gigi Leung. Wang Lee Hom tops the poll in the male category, with Hideaki Takizawa and Nicholas Tse in the 2nd and 3rd ranking. A surprising find was that Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok fell in ranking, behind Japan's Kimura Takuya and Takeshi Sorimachi.

In the poll set up by "Taiwan Variety King" and "Hom Web Entertainmant", to check who ranks tops in the youngsters' hearts of sexual fanatsy, the lady that ranks the tops in the guys' hearts is none other than the lady that has successfully penetrated the Japnese Market, Vivian Hsu, with 27% of the votes. Following behind is Shu Qi(19%), "Kiiler of boys' hearts" Jolin Tsai(14%) and Gigi Leung(13%).

On the other end of the poll, the girls' section, "sunshine boy" Wang Leehom ranks the tops, with as high as 37% of the votes, way ahead of Hideaki Takizawa's 15% vote. In 3rd place is star of the "cradle love" romance, Nicholas Tse(14%), followed by "GTO" Takeshi Sorimachi(13%), Kimura Takuya(10%), Aniki Jin(7%); lastly with Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok, sadly lining the bottom with a miserable 2%.

After completing her movie and pictoral book shoots in Taiwan, Vivian will be heading back to Japan. However, her refreshness, cuteness and that devilish stunning body will always stay in the hearts and minds of our young boys here; just like Vivian whom targets foreign markets, Shu Qi is stirring rumours in Hong Kong. One webster has commented that Shu Qi's signature pouty lips was the factor of her sexiness.

Many girls have expressed that Leehom's healthy, sunshine image was the vote winner, they can't wait to get a piece of him. With the fiery debate of their "cradle love" relationship brewing, many websters acknowledge that it might have discounted Nicholas Tse's image in some girls' hearts. With regards to Andy and Aaron lining the bottom of the poll, websters said that both of them are still riding high in popularity but sad to say that age is catching up on them. They are no longer fancied by those little girls.
