	IMHO, Hacken has a really good voice and knows very well
how to manipulate his breath. I'd say he has excellent basic
singing techinque.... However, as Elvin suggested, he needs a bit
of polishing and refinement in order for him to be a top-notch
POP MUSIC singer/performer.

	Totally agreed! He's just fanstastic. I don't know if you
people would agree.... I personally think that although Jacky's
last two CD's are very popular, I don't think those songs are in
general better than other people's songs. However, becasue of 
the magic of Jacky's singing, they became very very good.....

	I however, think that Hacken has all the potential to become
as good as Jacky (except dancing?). Let me put it this way....
Jacky is like "Kiu fung" (in Tin Lung Bat Bou) and Hacken is like
"Duen Yu"; Kiu Fung excels in both 'internal force' and fighting style
as in 'Hong Lung 18 Dzeung' and "Duen Yu" has very powerful 'internal
force' but doesn't know how to fight.
