Irreconcilable (Шаблон:Zh) is the first Cantonese studio album recorded by Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng, released via Polydor Records on December 18, 1980. The album was supported with the single "Forget Him" (Шаблон:Zh), which was written by Hong Kong media personality James Wong Jim.

Reception

Irreconcilable was commercially successful after its release, receiving a platinum certification by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry Hong Kong (IFPIHK) in 1981.[1] That same year, Huang Zhan won the Best Chinese Pop Song Award at the 4th Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards for the album's title track.

Promotion and live performances

Since then, "Forget Him" has become one of Teng's most popular Cantonese singles.[2] She has performed it during the Teresa Teng Concert in Singapore National Theater in April 1981, and at her concerts at Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Hong Kong in 1982 and 1983. It was also performed during her 15th Anniversary Asian Tour Concert in Hong Kong at the end of 1983.

Covers

Fifteen years later, the "Forget Him" was covered by Shirley Kwan, as part of her 1995 tribute album EX All Time Favourites. This new Dream pop version was featured in Wong Kar-wai's art house movie Fallen Angels (1995) as the Jukebox song number "1818." As the title suggested, the hitman played by Leon Lai wanted his accomplice, Michelle Reis, to forget him.[3]
