different from one another, in terms of their style and music arrangement. Tao was nominated for six GMA awards for I'm OK – Best Album, Best Producer, Best Singer, Best Video, Best Song and Best Song Arrangement. He only won the Best Producer Award on the GMA, but Rain later went on to win Best Chinese Video at the 2000 MTV Music Awards. Black Tangerine (2002) In 2002, Tao released "Black Tangerine". Some notable songs in this post-911 album, of which he derived much of his inspiration from: Black Tangerine, a hard-hitting rock song. Moon Over My Heart, an updated old Mandarin hit re-rendered in R&B style. My Anata, a Japanese-influenced rock number. Angel, a love ballad. 22, a catchy tune depicting the woes of a girl in crossroads. Butterfly, an under-rated song which he penned about his relationship with God. Katrina, a surprise demo he wrote and sang entirely in English. Dear God, a song he wrote for 911. Melody, a song for a most important woman in his life. What set Black Tangerine apart was the strong social commentary, including a track consisting of various actual Taiwanese news snippets of unrelated family tragedies and public incidents, placing the state of Taiwanese society in a somewhat negative point of view. Dear God tells about the sadness of Tao regarding a mother of a victim who has died in 911 and stared at her son's picture and expected him to revive. Tao uses his song as weapon to bitterly criticize terrorists. Also, this song expressed Tao's voice that love was gradually neglected by this society; more and more people concern about money and drama more than love and equality today. Melody was written for his ex-girlfriend. Tao has described his feelings towards Melody through a monologue in his music video, "When you saw someone that gave you the same feeling of your first love in your sixteens, you gonna know that she is the right one". This song was one of the two songs he actually admitted to be dedicated to his ex-girlfriends. Black Tangerine won various awards in Asia but was, incidentally, overlooked for the Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan, where the album was originally intended for. Tao has since held a series of successful concerts in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore in 2003, having already won many fans over with his signature simplistic style. The Great Leap
