=============================================================
若不是廿五年前新秀大賽的一曲〈風的季節〉，也許就不會有今日的梅艷芳。
似水流年，轉眼之間，梅姐的演繹事業已來到第廿五個年頭。
雖然她已離我們遠去，不過殿堂巨星的萬丈光芒，繼續閃耀。
今日此刻，我們怎能不重溫這首〈風的季節〉，重溫利舞臺上嶄露頭角的她？

梅姐當年憑藉近乎滿分的表現，以大熱姿態勇奪第一屆新秀歌唱大賽的冠軍。
「是我姐姐幫我報名寄相片，要面試時才告訴我。她說你試試看，老實說是她想去。姐姐沒有進最後十名很失落，把所有希望都放在我身上。我沒有想過要第一名，唯一目標是不要在同行面前丟臉。宣佈第三名，不是我，又宣佈第二名，也不是我。我心想完蛋了，明天去夜總會怎麼跟同行講呢？司儀宣佈冠軍是梅艷芳的時候，我還在發呆，我隔壁的打我說，喂喂，你啊！」她回憶說。
百變天后留下的瑰寶豈能在有限篇幅裏詳盡記載？以下為梅姐歌唱事業與舞臺表演部分光輝榮譽和珍貴片段：
一九八二年，梅姐第一首曲子〈心債〉終于面世；出自大師級人馬黃霑及顧嘉輝的作品，動聽旋律滄桑演繹，這首主題曲很快隨電視劇《香城浪子》大紅。

梅艷芳＜胭脂扣＞電影片段 ~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO-ZVG5knloStory: She’s a courtesan who met this wealthy guy - they fell in love, but his family opposed their relationship. Under pressure, they decided to take their own lives - she died, but he survived and being cowardly, decided not to follow her. She waited in the underworld for 53 years and didn’t see him, so she got permission to come back for 7 days to look for him. She finally found him - old, decrepit, a druggie with not a penny to his name, hanging out at movie sets waiting to be an extra... The scene: She found him, leaned over, sang a line from ”their song,” returned the rouge box he gave her many years ago. Then she disappeared back to the world of the spirits. The other two people looking on are the mortals who helped her find the guy. Song was sung by Anita Mui too. This was Anita’s most famous role - she won Best Actress awards galore for it in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and in the pan-Asian region. ~ Fysb233

八八八九年，我想是繼八五八六年之後，另一個梅姐鋒頭超勁的年份。當年，梅姐憑借〈胭脂扣〉榮膺四大電影頒獎禮（金馬、金龍、金像以及亞太影展）的影后頭銜；在她的光輝歌唱生涯之外，亦在電影領域登峰造極！同時，梅姐再度馬不停蹄舉行她的世界巡迴演唱會，〈Anita Mui Concert World Tour〉馬來西亞站六場、中國廣州站五場、澳門站、歐洲站四場、新加坡站、台灣站兩場、美國站超過六場，以及多倫多與溫哥華四場。
一九八九年，梅姐榮膺香港藝術家年獎之歌唱家獎，她的舞臺表演獲得肯定為藝術家級數，而不再是純粹一個普通歌手這麽簡單。梅姐在十大勁歌金曲最受歡迎女歌星創五連冠霸業，同時成爲叱吒樂壇頒獎禮女歌星金獎得主。經典之作〈夕陽之歌〉當選十大勁歌金曲、十大勁歌金曲金獎以及第十二屆十大中文金曲；〈淑女〉則膺第十二屆十大中文金曲。梅姐同時獲得第十二屆十大中文金曲IFPI大獎。〈胭脂扣〉不僅讓梅姐封后，電影同名主題曲也是第八屆香港電影金像獎最佳電影歌曲。梅姐到大馬展開五場〈梅艷芳世界巡回演唱會〉。

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3dP-8Ti6x8I am a new fan of Anita. I gather that this is one of her last concerts in 2003? It is such a pain to see her singing a song like this a few months before her untimely death. I can only imagine that she must know the end is near, yet she put such a splendid show for her fans. This is a true performer who live and die on her stage. ~ Patchin1
Everytime I watched this video. There are tears in my eyes. Anita is amazing and a remarkable woman. She is truly a role model for us. She will always be miss and love. ~ Luckpeace
This is really really so sad. There is really quite a difference in her voice and while she was well. She must have been really sick but she still sang. She’s really a very remarkable woman！！Her strength, her spirt, indeed she’s a great role model. She will always be miss. ~ Arcaneunleashed
She is absolutely wonderful. Despite of her illness, she still perform so well in her final concert. ~ Taxme7
This is actually a memorable scene of this concert. When she was losing her voice while singing this song, it made this song much more emotional. When listen to her earlier performances of this song, you will notice major differences of her voice. ~ Supertrouper
Anita gave such an awesome performance even during her final days.
~ Wgeorge13
Absolutely love Anita singing this song and she looks so beautiful. What a memorable moment. ~ Goddessofhonour
梅艷芳〈淑女〉十大勁歌金曲金曲金獎片段 ~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emBhgHec2GYNo offense to Anita Mui. But this is a rip off of the Like A Virgin performance. Anita is a better singer no doubt. But in terms of creativity, originality, and performance skills, I still think there’s only one and only one Madonna. I usually avoid the comparison because both artists are people I truly respect. ~ magiciancols
True, but even though Anita copies Madonna’s style a little what ever she pretends to be she actually looks like. That’s one of the difference between her and Madonna. Another thing is that she can take Madonna’s style and she can do it without being slutty not to mention that in my opinion that Anita’s voice is 100 times better than Madonna’s. ~ LlamaLordofScience
一九九零年，梅姐宣佈不再領取任何音樂獎項；不過，樂壇對於她成就的褒揚與獎項陸續有來。梅姐與倫永亮合唱的〈心仍是冷〉成為十大勁歌金曲。除了當選八十年代十大最受歡迎演藝紅人外，梅姐也獲頒韓國最受歡迎外語女歌手第五名。梅姐第三度在紅館舉行個人演唱會，三十場的〈百變梅艷芳夏日耀光華演唱會〉將她耀眼舞臺紀錄更推上一層樓。同年間，梅姐在台灣SOGO舉行〈親密愛人〉迷你演唱會。

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1wBagoC624九零九一年，梅姐又開始她的世界巡迴演唱，實行要艷壓天下。〈Anita Mui Concert World Tour〉的旋風席捲美國、加拿大、法國、荷蘭、英國以及澳洲。此外，梅姐的巡迴演唱會未冷落亞洲，也分別在臺灣展開三場以及新加坡兩場。
待續……
