stefanie sun live in singapore 2006.
thanks, for creating this special opportunity.
sunyanzi's concert was nice and sweet. cant really say it was awesome cos there were highs and lows. mainly cos i think shes changing her image from the sweet little girl-next-door to a pop diva. n its not that its not good or anything but i just like the old her. the new her ballading out her old songs of love and romance just wasnt as enchanting. think somehow its cos her technique has changed too. her voice now lacks the quality of 'innocence'. dunno how else to put it. serene agrees with me too. but nonetheless we are both very much aroused by her concert. time to dig up those dust-covered cds of yanzi's! now let me try to recount the bits that were memorable. her slow songs are still very soulful and touching. its just the way she puts it across. and if u can ever 'hear' helplessness and forlorn love, i've heard it today. maybe its the certain raspy quality about her voice. maybe its the appropriate breathlessness. i dunno. but it works. and sometimes i still wonder how someone so tiny and skinny can have such a large and powerful voice. but i must mention. SHE CANT DANCE FOR NUTS!!
2 songs were extremely fantastic today tho. 'silent all these yrs' and the finale song 'ti orh orh'. the former's intro was smth along the lines of keeping it simple and hence she just sat on a chair n sung it. it sounded so much better than the cd version. so heart-wrenching. and the simple setting suited the song too. indeed, simpleness is captivating and appealing esp in this complex, complicated world. the latter has an even richer history, being the song that rose her to popularity. sung at the end of her every concert, it still never failed to leave a lasting impression.
下起雨也要勇敢前进.. and as the lights on her fade to black she sings.. 我现在好想回家去..
