18/02/2004 : MTV Asia 2004 hangat.
WALAUPUN Janet Jackson tidak diundang untuk mengadakan persembahan Anugerah MTV Asia 2004 (MTVA 04) yang berlangsung di Stadium Tertutup Singapura Sabtu lalu, namun gaya dan aksi adik kepada Raja Pop, Michael Jackson itu tetap kelihatan.
Gaya dan aksi Janet sewaktu persembahan bersama Justin Timberlake yang mendedahkan buah dadanya kepada umum pada acara pertandingan American Football Super Bowl di Amerika Syarikat, dapat dilihat menerusi aksi penyanyi tempatan Singapura, Suzanne Walker.
Penyanyi kumpulan Zircon Gov.Pawnstarz itu yang juga merupakan penyiar di salah sebuah stesen radio Singapura, sengaja menyelak kemeja-T yang dipakainya dan menampakkan separuh daripada buah dadanya sewaktu melintasi karpet merah.
Tindakan Walker yang mencari publisiti murahan itu ternyata tidak digemari oleh peminat tempatan. Aksinya itu mendapat cemuhan daripada peminat yang rata-ratanya adalah golongan remaja.

OUR SINGAPORE MEN IN MUSIC SPECIAL
Making it big on his own terms
Other men in music
X'HO
Local Radical
The voice of radio is also the voice of rebellion.
X'Ho, 'forever 27', ever vocal on Singapore society and culture, has even compiled his columns into two books.
The ex-Rediffusion DJ is also credited with introducing alternative and New Wave music to local music diets.
'I never set out to be a careerist - I was primarily a music fan and I'd simply wanted to expose Singaporeans to what I thought was good music,' he said.
'Ultimately, I'm very old school. As a deejay, I believe that if you've nothing to say, shut up.'
X'Ho has just formed a new band - Zircon Gov. Pawnstarz - with guitarist Tan Tiang Yeow and ex-deejay Suzanne Walker.
Asked how he'd react if he had to introduce a Pawnstarz hit on air, he squealed: 'Ooo, I'd be so shy! No lah, I couldn't play my own song! Maybe in the clubs but not radio!'
Claim to fame: X'Ho introduced ground-breaking music to local listeners. He has released three solo albums and written two books.
Catch him: X'Ho spins at the Soundbar on Fridays from 9pm.
Pawnstarz is putting the finishing touches on its debut album, Follywood, and hopes to open for Blondie when and if the '80s band makes it to Singapore (the band cancelled its December gig).

In this month's issue of Her World magazine, DJ-turned-singer for Zircon Gov.Pawnstarz Suzanne Walker said: 'When I left the radio gig, I wanted to be like Sheryl Crow and play the guitar.
'Everyone sort of told me I should just grow up. Music is something you do when you're young. Go get married, find a boyfriend or look for a job. But I did it anyway.'
I'm glad she did. Just as I'm glad I'd realised that it is never too late to recapture one's youth.
Never mind that by the time I hit the big time - if I ever do - I'll be 40 and a hideous sight in spandex.
Cheap stunt - FEB 17, 2004
Suzanne Walker makes a clean breast of that chest-baring act
THE morning after she hijacked the headlines by lifting her T-shirt halfway up her chest at the MTV Asia Awards red carpet, Suzanne Walker was still basking in the publicity.

To the suggestion that she might have offended some folks with her stunt, the 34-year-old DJ said on the phone: 'It's MTV. It's not a charity gala.'
She just wanted to take the mickey out of the show, she added.
'But you guys took it seriously,' she said in her husky voice, and laughed.
Walker, who is a singer in DJ X'Ho's new electro band, Zircon Gov. Pawnstarz, proceeded to do a promotional pitch for the group: 'Our video is released next week. Our album is launched next month. So, thank you very much.'
She and the band's leader, Ho, had hatched a plan to do something outrageous on the red carpet when they were walking from the carpark, she said.
Either he would flash the crowd or she would flaunt the lower halves of her orbs.
Alas, he had no wish to be arrested. So, she had to go it alone.
When contacted, Ho, who is 'forever 27', said he had warned Walker that 'this is Singapore, honey. You can only show so much'.
Even if the stunt was in bad taste, he said, it was in 'good bad taste'.
Cameramen from about 100 media organisations were glad to capture Walker's mock-pornstar act. Some of the 400 fans screamed when they saw her. Others looked indifferent.
Photographers from overseas news services such as AFP and Associated Press did not know who she was.
Instead, they thought she was a 'stunt performer' sending up singer Janet Jackson's breast-baring incident.
But Walker insisted 'it wasn't a Janet Jackson'.
Although she was wearing 'a see-through Princess Tam Tam bra', she covered her nipples with her hands throughout, she said.
