The 19th Golden Melody Awards and Ceremony began officially at 7:00 P.M. tonight. After a comedic opening by the evening's hosts, Rainie Yang ChengLin and Japanese Johnny's Entertainment's Gokusen Trio stepped on stage together to present the award for this year's Best Composer (Vocal Music). Jay Chou JieLun was announced as the winner for his 青花瓷 [Qing Hua Ci] [Blue and White Porcelain]. Best Group (Vocal Music) went to Da Mouth.

The "DJ" and tongue-twisting rap combining style of new group Da Mouth earned top marks with this year's judges, enabling them to take home the prize for Best Group (Vocal Music). As Aisa Senda, the only female member of the group, delivered their "Thank You" speech, she said movingly that, because she was a foreigner, she was extremely grateful that they could win and had to thank everybody for their support.
