While the media dubbed the non-nomination "a lost gem", one of the judges criticized the album for having too much post-recording tuning and effects done.
Huang Shu-Jun, the main judge for the prestigious award said Hebe's voice in the album had been altered too much by technology.
Enraged by judge Huang's statement, Hebe's fans suspected Huang of being bribed. Huang's manager expressed that they will not hesitate to take legal action on those who slander his name.
In light of these reports, Hebe expressed, "Everyone should calm down. There is no need to be involved any law suit."
Dressed in a retro look while attending a promotional activity for a soft drink company, the singer responded to the "engineered album" claim.
When asked by the media if she would release an unplugged album to prove her vocal range and singing ability she replied, "Why don't I just stop releasing albums, collect NT$500 from every passerby on the street, and sing acapella for them instead," said the 28-year-old singer.
The singer also added, "Most albums nowadays are all technologically enhanced if you ask me. If everything needs to be proven, I should probably take an exam and get a licence to be a singer!"
Having performed live in her two of her mini-concerts, Hebe also stated confidently that she is not afraid to sing unplugged. With her second solo album almost completed, the confident singer will soon be returning to the recording studio.
