Why a SUJU Special?

Simply because the legends are back, and this teases a long-anticipated reunion for the upcoming Super Show 8..

If 15 years in the KPOP scene weren’t enough to show you what they are capable of, just look at the source of immense strength behind them – that sea of sapphire blue which weathered through the storms. It’s been an extremely long wait for ELFs since 2010 for all SUJU members to be discharged from military service. That unwavering love is worth applauding for.

Much talk has been going on about SUJU appearing as a complete group in the 2nd half of 2019. To our dismay, they were lacked of Kyuhyun, Siwon & Heechul at the Hallyupop Fest 2019.

As the hall turned into a bobbing sea of sapphire blue when the intro music started playing, the flashing red lights and silhouette of these guys rising on stage, it propelled you into a moment of Déjà vu. That familiar moment when they emerged on stage to perform the 1st song “Superman” during Super Show 4, sprung back to mind instantaneously.

A voice inside of you would go “The Kings are back!”

Performance List
• Sorry, Sorry
• Bonamana
• One More Chance
• It has to be You (Yesung’s Solo)
• Drunk in the Morning (Ryeowook Solo)
• ‘Bout You – D&E
• Miracle

The sextet took the stage with their most classic hits “Sorry, Sorry” and “Bonamana”. The one thing you will love about a Super Junior performance is that ELFs know exactly when to execute their fan chants so perfectly.

即使卸下了王冠,那锋芒依然四射。他们是创造”韩流帝国”的元老,有着数不尽的光辉史,却也饱受无数风霜。从古至今,没有不老的人们,只有不老(甚至幼稚)的心,所以他们才会被粉丝称为”老少年”。他们现在都以比较”优哉”的姿态,在夹缝中求存的韩国音乐市场继续行走着。这或许就是他们屹立不倒的秘诀。这走尽坎坷路的团体,究竟有什么大风大浪没见过的呢?

可以看他们那么悠然自得地瞎胡闹,闲聊着,其实对粉丝来说,是一大欣慰和快乐。

他们扛得起,也懂得如何应对这世上无常的变化。

It was apparent they were not on form that day as there were varying pitches or notes that they couldn’t hit well. Age has certainly caught up with them as they panted heavily after 2 dance tracks, but their will power is commendable.

What’s a Super Junior performance without their impromptu, funny banter? That’s one of the main highlights. They just couldn’t stop talking once they open up their chatter box.

Can we have a Super Talk Show series coming up too? We can just listen to them talk about anything under the sun and laugh for 3 hours.

From how they attempted English, Mandarin, professing their love for chili and pepper crabs and asking one another to smell their fingertips, attempted quirky dance moves, you would just shake your head but smile in agreement that “Dorks will be Dorks”.

嘴巴最甜的 Donghae started addressing the fans as “亲爱的,宝贝” etc and praising them to be “漂亮,可爱,Sexy”. What a sweet talker he is! It undoubtedly melted many ELFs’ hearts.

Yesung was in an exceptionally bright mood that day, as he could be seen beaming from time to time and responding to fans who shouted his name. Eunhyuk started speaking in English, saying a Big Hello and how much he misses Singapore and sending some flying kisses, while an unimpressed Yesung mimicked him with an annoyed “Tsk”.

After a few good minutes about eating crabs, Lee Teuk tried to pacify the audience saying that they are better than any of the crabs that they had. Should fans feel happy being compared to a delicious local dish?

The Tom & Jerry Duo (Yesung and Eunhyuk) who were nearest to Lee Teuk, began loosening the laces on Teuk’s top to reveal some chest muscles and cleavage, while Teuk proudly said “big size”.
These guys are just one of the most hilariously funny lot.

Teukkie took the longest time to say his heartfelt words on stage, but he also let the cat out of the bag that Eunhyuk would extend his stay to tour around SG. Ain’t he such a SABO King or BAOTOH King?

Donghae described “One More Chance” as an emotional song and requested fans to switch on their mobile phones’ flash light, while Eunhyuk added on “If your cell phone’s battery is OK”. While the sea of blue and white “starlight” is not uncommon during “One More Chance” performances, it still warmed your hearts as the hall lit up in a sea of blue and white, just for these guys.

As KPOP fans may know, “Bout You” is a lively and chirpy track from Super Junior D&E’s previous album. There’s one part of the dance that got the crowd laughing in stitches, especially when you watch how Ryeowook and Lee Teuk execute those moves in the quirkiest manner.

While Leeteuk was expressing his gratitude to the fans for being with them all these years, he quipped that “Hallyupop Fest 2000” is an important event whereby artistes would showcase their best works. He said “Two Thousand” so confidently in English. It was not long before the members burst into laughter as he realised that it should be “Twenty Nineteen”! It appeared that Leader was too head over heels with the crabs in Singapore, that he had lost track of the year we are currently living in.

It was then when he talked about how they have been through 15 years because of their fans. They created a miracle back then called “Super Junior” and here they are still shining like a miracle.

We can’t say that SUPER JUNIOR is just a miracle without their hard work or ups and downs. They have been through much pain and sacrifices over the years, received tremendous love but also hurt and scrutiny with much fame.

As they bounced energetically around on stage and running across the runway, it felt as if time had stood still. They are still the young guys at heart that we know.

Whenever you see Lee Teuk going to every single little corner to make a 90-degree bow and thank the fans, it still warms your heart.

Nothing’s changed.

You will love Super Junior, not just for their performances, funny banter, sportsmanship, dorkiness, but also sincere nature. Not forgetting, they are the Kings of Fan Service.

They may not be the HOTTEST in town right now, but it is unlikely that those who are into KPOP have never heard about Super Junior. They have always kept their promises to leave no one behind.

While we hope to see a COMPLETE SUPER JUNIOR for Super Show 8, their label confirmed recently that it would only be a 9-member comeback.

Despite all that SJ is going through, there’s no obstacle that SUJU could not handle. To see SUJU complete and whole again, is the biggest wish that ELFs have all these years.

Someday, it will happen.

But for now, we will hang on tight till we see you guys back in Super Show 8.

一提起”A-Lin”的名字,许多人的脑海里会浮现几首经典歌曲。

“失恋无罪”,依然让你理直气壮地捍卫单身的美好。。
“有一种悲伤”,让你刻骨铭心地体会相爱却不能在一起的忧伤
“幸福了,然后呢”,是提醒我们在爱情里,不要把一切当作理所当然。
“以前,以后”,令人对于理想和现实中的爱情之间的差异不禁感慨,
“给我一个理由忘记”,顿时令你忆起原以为放下的那个人。。
“好朋友的祝福”,依旧虐心和揪心。。

就像歌词里写的”你的快乐,我凭什么感觉残忍?”

生命里的许多大小爱情议题,都在这些歌曲的字里行间。A-Lin就像是魔法师,带我们走了一趟酸甜兼苦涩的回忆之旅,却也让我们能开心的庆祝,此刻的我们,依然还是可以过得很美好。

如果说”失恋无罪”是A-Lin的成名曲,”我是歌手”再度让她成功翻红,那”有一种悲伤”就是让A-Lin持续稳坐这”天生歌姬”宝座和知名度更上一层楼的最佳代表作。电影的成功,除了故事情节以外,一首经典的OST插曲也会在大众的脑海里和心里,盘旋很久,很久。

继 A-Lin 在2015年举办的” 声呐”世界巡回演唱会之后,”A-Lin Show” 是她在狮城举办的第4场个唱。演唱会是以她的一贯 Live Band 形式,简单的舞台设计和3套服装来进行。这为的是要拉近与观众之间的距离。除了少用手机”拍摄”,也是要更贴切主题 “A-Lin Show”,把注意力放在她的歌声上。

她一开唱,就能吸引所有人的视线和注意力。那具有爆发力的嗓音回荡在空气里,穿进你的心里,简直是比鸡皮疙瘩掉满地还要奇特的感觉。不管是飙高音,拉尾音或低音,A-Lin 稳健的台风和唱腔,都成功地俘虏了观众的耳膜。那独特的体验仿佛是顿时加入了特大规模的”情感交流站”。还是会被她的浑厚,高亢,撩人,勾魂和”锁魂”的嗓音,给迷倒。或许以现今的流行语来说,这就是所谓的”能让耳朵怀孕”的嗓音。

虽然只有短短的2小时,但这是场绝对值回票价的演唱会。可以有荣幸听 A-Lin 现场飙歌真的很 Shiok! 那仿佛能帮你消除疲劳和抒发所有的负面情绪。

气势如泓的她,气场强,状态佳,心情超优,加上很有实力的乐队和合音老师们来助阵,简直是如虎添翼。如此厚实的阵容,足以令平时较害羞的新加坡观众,顿时High了起来。也正因抓到了这个”点”,A-Lin和合音老师们就成功地把闷骚的观众站起来摇摆。

若称她与生俱来的”铁肺”或”巨肺”是种天赋, 那她可算是一位功力非常深厚的 Super Hero. 她拿捏情感和演绎的方式都恰到好处,不会过分煽情。

She’s a powerhouse who requires only the love and passion from her audience to power charge. She’s generated by the amazingly, incredulous strengths of her vocals.

喜欢 A-Lin 爽朗的个性和幽默感。因为不想观众们只专注于对着手机看她的演出,于是就”命令”大家”放下手机,立地成佛”。这还真的戳到大家的笑点。看来这句很受用,会被列入A-Lin的经典名言之一。

她的歌声不只传递了喜怒哀乐,也承载着许多歌迷们人生所经历的事迹,”锁魂”的功力也不容忽视。除了满满的情感释放在歌声中, 那歌声弥漫在空气里,也渗入我们的血液和心坎里。那是一种可以把大家锁在当下的魔法,也是一种很值得回味的互动。

观众的热情可谓是满顶,不只大声合唱,也大声喊出他们对A-Lin爱的宣言。面对着座无虚席的观众,A-Lin难掩内心的亢奋和激动。A-lin 在台上数度哽咽的原因有几个,被新加坡歌迷的热情感动,很开心,也很兴奋。大伙儿的热情却也让她泪撒了好几回。她或许也是被自己的歌曲所感动或想起一些自己经历过的故事。

她的歌声就是有股魔力,能让你听得痛快,令人陶醉的当而,也让身体所有紧绷的情绪,都随着每个音符,旋律和那高亢的嗓音,释放出来。

就是不需要太多的话语,只需要用心感受。或许你觉得她几乎每个周末都在演出,应该早已是列入”日常”, 但每一场的观众给的感动会令表演者有股莫名但不一样的感动。

就如A-Lin说的,观众的热情,就是表演者前进的动力,让他们把内心的所有和能量都掏出来,把表演做到最好。

这就是用生命在歌唱的铁证。

我喜欢这样的互动,也喜欢那么谦卑,不会自满的歌手。

她那开朗的个性具有感染力,也让大家度过了个愉悦温馨的夜晚。她会用大笑和哈哈声来为自己化解尴尬,也会自我调侃。人生也不就如此? 笑一笑,一切都会过去。

由于观众反应热情,A-Lin心情大好,一时兴起便开放点歌。 只是可惜实力派歌姬也会有忘词的时候。她很能为自己圆场,依旧哈哈大笑来化解忘词的尴尬和承诺下一次会唱给粉丝们听。但她也很爽快地唱了”天若有情”和”今晚你想念的是不是我”。就到最后的关键2首歌曲”给我一个理由忘记”和”好朋友的祝福”,现场变成了一片白色灯海。

总得来说,大家都玩得很开心,只是还是意犹未尽。希望下次能会是个2。5小时的演出。

It’s been a great nite~

P.S 新加坡爱你, A-Lin!

BLΛƆKPIИK is a force to be reckoned with.

With only 9 Korean singles (+1 song collaboration with Dua Lipa) & 1 Japanese studio album on their discography, these lasses have swept up a storm in Asia and are now stirring a hurricane in the United States.

The quartet showcased spectacular showmanship and remarkable energy, lashing out hit after hit with their high-octane vocals & impressive dance grooves at their 1st sold-out SG concert, to a 9500-strong crowd.

Decked in shimmery pink outfits and white knee-length boots, the quartet blew the audience away with the immensely popular “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du”.

SG BLINKS’ response was more than overwhelming with the resounding roars of cheers. The quartet was greeted by thunderous cheers & hoot calls, bobbing pink heart-shaped light sticks, with fans singing aloud to their dance hits, shouting fan chants as these lasses lapped it up with their energetic, sexy, feisty dance moves.

Their vocals are entrancing, dance moves bewitching. You will find yourself grooving along with the infectious rhythm of the songs.

Indoor Stadium was filled with fervent BLINKS of all ages, many clad in BLACKPINK Official Tees, holding placards to honour the arrival of their Queens.

The general association of pink is demure & feminine, while black amps up the fiercely cool images with a tinge of suaveness. Black is bold & distinctive, which perfectly sums up how these girls create a unique style, amidst the cutesy-girl-groups-dominated KPOP scene.

Their appeal lies in their dominant, distinctive flavor – flaming hot like chili, yet (not overly) sweet like dark chocolate-coated strawberry. It’s no easy feat to be different, while maintaining a strong foothold. These girls have fiercely dominated music charts since.

There is an uncanny resemblance between 2NE1 & BLACKPINK, in terms of their hip hop, funk & pop music genre & members’ international backgrounds. To avoid being labelled as “2NE1 Version 2.0”, BLACKPINK needs more original songs to distinguish themselves.

What’s lacking is the number of songs to uphold a barely 2-hour long concert. While it’s not uncommon for YG artistes to repeat songs for Encore, we sincerely wished a deserving girl group like BLACKPINK, can have more songs to call their own.

These ladies have unleashed their potential and versatility, to grow into something bigger in the music industry. They can carry off sexy, edgy, punk, clubbing or dance tunes but at the same time also being cutie pies & sweethearts.

BLACKPINK’s dance choreographies are not overly provocative, done with a tasteful demeanor that both male & female audiences would find it attractive and alluring. 他们的台风稳健,气场和气势都非常霸气,很有女王风范。They were brimming with comfort & confidence on stage.

They shone even in their solo performances. Jisoo showed her prowess with a powerful rendition of Zedd’s ‘Clarity’, Lisa slay as she twisted and swayed her way to MISO’s ‘Take Me’ and Jason Derulo’s ‘Swalla’, Rosé performed a lovely medley of The Beatles’ “Let It Be”, Park Bom’s “You And I” and Taeyang’s “Only Look At Me”, while Jennie rocked the stage with “SOLO”.

Their vibrant, exuberant, youthful energy can be felt and transmitted to all present. Such is youth and living your dreams.

The members spoke of their excitement to be in SG for their very 1st concert. The very thoughtful Rosé assured that they could see everyone and hope that fans would stay safe. Jennie expressed her wish for fans to put down their phones, so that they can enjoy the concert and see one another’s faces.

Jisoo proclaimed her love for our famous Chili Crab. Rosé suggested for the big crowd to do a Mexican wave, which they gladly obliged. BLINKS also sang a surprise BD song for Rosé whose birthday was on 11 February.

After watching Jisoo perform Zedd’s “Clarity”, you would agree that her slightly husky voice is pretty sexy & alluring.

Lisa the “Dance Queen” was feisty & sassy with her enchanting dance moves & sleek punches. That overflowing sense of confidence in owning the stage and capturing all of the audience’s attention.

Rosé’s distinctive honey, sweet voice allows one to distinguish her quite easily. She’s got a demure & gentle disposition. Listening to her sing was an enjoyable heart & mind soothing process.

Jennie the fashionista, exudes a very cool “icy princess” image, but swoons many with her adorable smiles and strong stage presence.

We do not need something too polished from BLACKPINK at the moment, such as Mariah Carey’s high-octaves dolphin pitch range. They are awesome as it is for their maiden concert.

We look forward to new tracks with stronger BLACKPINK flavor & a more “complete” world tour.

There’s no reason why these ladies with high-spirited performances, zestful vigor and distinctive stage presence, would not sell out albums or concerts.

So here they are, to take the world, step by step.

Make way cutesy girl groups, the BLACKPINK era has arrived.

It makes one ponder in anticipation, which is the next card they would play?Read More →

时隔7年没在新加坡办个唱的王力宏,从演唱会掀开序幕时,就已灌输一个概念 – “龙的传人2060″就是希望带大家到一个只有”爱,和平,希望和好音乐”的未来。来自2060年的他和团队,就是要来打败这些叫做“自私族”的反派,以免他们入侵地球。

说到2060,当然少不了科技上的未来感,如太空梭,前卫的服装造型,绚丽的灯光效果,舞台设计,道具和背景都精心策划了一番。除了王力宏专属的龙形吉它 – 巴哈姆特,他还带了木吉它和一把刻着蓝色龙图腾的电吉它,增添了视觉上感官的元素。那台”龙”形钢琴也实为壮观。

正所谓,”每个男孩都会有个英雄梦”。从他过往的”盖世英雄”和”Music Man”演唱会主题,不难看出他想透过自己的音乐,来一点一滴地感化,改变这个世界。

与其说他野心勃勃,小编倒认为他是个乐观主义者,兼带有强烈使命感的一个人。虽然他是 ABC,思想也非常洋派,但他24年来从没放弃为华人音乐加入新元素,传播到世界各地。他不只”冻龄”有术,心境仍保留那最纯粹的初衷。那曾经唱着”情敌贝多芬”的17岁少年,如今已是身为人父,写首”亲爱的”给宝贝女儿的42岁成熟魅力男。

43岁将至的他,心里仍住着盖世英雄,希望改变世界。

王力宏更透过他的音乐来宣导爱,以便触及大家的内心,感染大家。

这正是我们所谓的”Love, Hope & Peace”。

音乐启蒙老师从他9岁开始就用很有爱的正面教育,鼓励着他,让他相信音乐的力量能改变世界和许多事情。他也不忘叮咛粉丝们,教育小孩要先感动他们,现在的王力宏充洋溢着幸福,充满满满着父爱,和更加暖心的感觉。

虽然贵为”优质音乐偶像”,但王力宏的才华,成就和贡献,都是有目共睹的。他所写的歌都反应了当时的人生经历或社会课题。

“W.H.Y”叙述了网路的年代,很少人会购买专辑,而唱片公司都会要求歌手们写些BALA歌曲的状况和媒体猖狂的年代,”Forever Love”是在前女友嫁给别人时抒发的感想来纪念这逝去的爱情,”改变自己”提倡环保意识,要大家从自己开始做起。”A.I 爱”想提醒大家不要让人工智能代替人类应有的情感和道德观。”亲爱的”则是写给两个宝贝女儿的歌曲。
他重新改编了许多首耳熟能详的歌曲,也让我们有焕然一新的感觉。

他很有歌迷的心,还特别演唱一首由歌写给他的”爱因为在心中”,庞大的 LED萤幕上放映着这些年来和歌迷们的相片。他平时也会录制视频贺各国的粉丝俱乐部的成立日,也会在每年的1月1日举行”福利秀”来回馈歌迷多年的拥护与爱戴。具有十八般武艺的力宏, 除了会弹奏各式各样的乐器,就连舞蹈也难不倒他。

虽然王力宏的表演保持着一贯的水准,但观众的反应博为 lukewarm。掌声和欢呼声变得有点吝啬,而且也没有多少荧棒。王力宏不断地用热情和能量来感染观众。这现象在演唱会后半段,有了显著的好转。

可能新加坡观众不大爱”拯救世界”这一套。或许繁忙的都市人会喜欢更暖心,但不需要那么伟大的概念。小编在前半段也觉得有点”disconnected”。演唱会主题鲜明,道具,灯光视觉效果也好,但就是无法拉近心灵上的距离。

有些故事情节和歌曲 rundown 有点突兀,例如在唱了深情款款的 “Forever Love” 之后,立刻跳到”龙的传人”,就很跳 Tone. 观众来不及转换情绪。幸好在后半段,就找回了我们熟悉的王力宏演唱会的感觉。观众的反应也较为热烈。他是创作音乐才子,最受落的环节就是他拿起乐器,边弹边唱时。无论是钢琴,小提琴,吉它,甚至是鼓也难不倒他。

这也是王力宏最迷人的时刻吧?观众的掌声如雷,也不时亮起了手机灯,让室内体育场变成星光璀璨。

尤其是在演唱”你不在”的时候,让人感觉鸡皮疙瘩。他也说”总有那种时候,你想起那个人,写下这样的歌曲” 。”依然爱你”和”大城小爱”也让人很有暧暧爱意的 Feel。

他的嗓音属厚实,却能完美地驾驭那博有难度的高亢音域。你会特爱他在演唱”A Star is Born”电影里的主题曲 “Shallow”时标的完美假音。

他道出了看这部电影时的感触。他认为歌手的心路历程是有点心酸,在圈子里浮浮沉沉的日子会倍感失落,但也会有大起大落之时。

与其利用科技来美化演唱会的视觉,还不如来个”返璞归真”,专注在音乐上。就像是在听到”落叶归根”时,很有那种 Back to basics, 纯粹的感觉,也令人听得沉醉。就连用小提琴演奏”Julia”也很有俏皮的 Feel.

The old school me still love it best when they keep their music performances raw. The most direct way to engage with the audiences cannot be replaced.

王力宏说,新加坡就是他理想中的2060。除了他喜爱的美食如肉骨茶,辣椒螃蟹等,他最爱的是这里没有天灾,治安好,人们也很亲切。这意味深长的一句话,不禁也让生长在新加坡的我们好好思考一下,我们是身在福中不知福,还是因为生活忙碌而忽略了这些我们习以为常的重要因素?

人生不如意事乃十之八九,相信大家会有很想放弃妥协的时候,但他希望大家要在这艰辛的过程中坚持下去。因为他认为,只要有爱和音乐可以克服一切。

不过相信所有HomBoy的粉丝们,一定会实现陪着王力宏唱到2060年的约定。

第18场”龙的传人2060″演唱会,想必对到场的观众来说,是一场听出耳油和富有深厚寓意的演唱会。Read More →

睽违3年再度莅临狮城开唱的”铁肺王子”萧敬腾,在11月末带来了他的最新巡演”娱乐先生”,和9000名观众一起度过了情绪激昂澎湃的夜晚。2.5小时的卖力狂热演出,飙至19度的音域,虽没震破我们的耳膜,但那感染力超强的嗓音不断回荡在脑海里,久久挥散不去。

一段时日不见,你会发现”老萧”有些微妙的改变。虽不能说已到老神在在的境界,但表演方式已能收放自如。人也变得更活泼开朗,自信许多。虽贵为”金曲歌王”,但在娱乐圈打滚十年的老萧依然那么率真可爱和调皮。他仍然是那个爱闹,爱歌唱的男孩。不同的是,他多了份自信带着他音乐上的成长来展现自己的创作给大家听。

他的蜕变,大家有目共睹。

不论是在演唱或交谈方面都比较放得开,表演特别自在,没那么害羞,也会和观众开些冷笑话。他甚至可以那么轻松地用他高亢浑厚的嗓音,飙到19度高音的境界。动静皆宜的他,可以温文尔雅地弹奏钢琴演唱动人的抒情歌曲,也能很卖力地打着他最拿手的爵士鼓,来一段Drums Battle.

他还偶尔”人来疯”把”萧汗淋漓”的湿毛巾,频频丢向观众,或是当个”萧人” (Siao Lang) 满场跑,乐在其中。尽管不久前在金曲奖演出时,左手骨裂,仍忍痛卖力演出。看他那么忘情投入的弹钢琴和打鼓,有点替他捏把冷汗。其敬业态度更令人为之钦佩。

“娱乐先生”可谓是一场盛大的音乐飨宴。他这次参与了演唱会的策划,从舞台搭设,灯光效果,服装等,都展现满满的诚意。

在演唱第一首”纯金打造”时,老萧隔着帘幕演唱,观众只看得见他的侧影。这为的是想把大家的注意力摆在他的歌声上。

这就是所谓的”先声夺人,以声会友”。从开始演唱的第一个字,就能深深吸引你的目光&注意力。先发制人这一招挺管用的。他要先征服大家的耳膜,才能得到百分百的专注。

看他表演是种享受,他表演的如此沉醉,我们也听得如此陶醉。

他不论是在演唱或弹奏表演时,脸上都特别有戏。每个表情都富有张力。

帘幕被抽起时,你会看见10几位管弦乐手在2-3楼的台架上弹奏,也让观众能够注视他们。串场部分也安排了几位小提琴家的演奏。舞台中央有很大的萤幕,延至左右侧都有很绚丽的灯光效果。舞台两侧也有小小的延伸台,可让他更靠近两旁的歌迷。

那霸气的气势和台风,已不可当日而言喻,可谓”有过之而无不及”。

也只有萧敬腾才能撑得起这壮观的舞台和气场。

他的音量和音域能够震破套牢在你身上所有无形的枷锁和束缚,让你顿时得到解脱,舒解所有烦恼和压力。

他奔放的演出,给了我们精神和情绪上的释放。

当年的”省话一哥”或许已没那么”省”话。俗话说,”韩国有苏志燮,台湾有萧敬腾”。两人都属文静的类型,面对媒体有时会显得不知所措,但历经多年的磨炼,两人也渐渐活泼起来。他们比较慢热,需要熟络些才会open up.

有人说,听萧敬腾唱歌会替他觉得喉咙辛苦,但小编认为听他唱歌是多么疗愈,多么舒缓情绪的一件事情。

试问,现今歌坛有多少人能够用这种声线飙高音嘶吼,却又不让你觉得吃力,做作,还能音准到这种程度的呢?

尤其是像”皮囊”有19度音域的歌曲,也只有萧敬腾能把这首歌掌握地那么驾轻就熟。这首歌的音域是介于狂飙海豚音和呐喊之间。能呐喊嘶吼的那么悦耳动听,是一项才能,艺术,也是种天赋。

他的歇斯底里并非卖弄技巧,而是想展现自己最纯粹 (raw) 的一面。瘦小的身躯宛如隐藏着滔天巨浪般的力量,足以淹没你我的心,震破你的耳膜。

He’s a vocal powerhouse.

31岁还算是活力充沛的年纪。他在最后一首歌曲一股脑儿地往Terrace 栏杆跳上去,有些惊险,但掩饰不了内心的亢奋。可见这回新加坡观众的热情有感染到这个闷骚包。不按牌理出牌是不错的。毕竟这是场演唱会,就是要靠当下的感受。

人生苦短,我们不是应该努力活在当下吗?

萧同学似乎也是个”人来疯”。兴起时会满场”飞”,或发挥嘶吼功力。唱到忘我时,还会甩头摆尾,蹬脚,甚至深蹲下跪。有时会暗笑,有时又会很调皮的作弄观众说他不唱”王妃”,因为已经唱到腻了。

老萧正拿着毛巾擦汗,台下的粉丝却鼓噪着,像中了降头似的,想把那”香汗淋漓”的毛巾带回家做纪念。他越擦越起劲,还狂丢好几条毛巾给台下的观众。

会自弹自唱的人的确有魅力,但不会读琴谱,还能自我弹奏,创作歌曲的人,额外有魅力。这是所谓的”无师自通”。看着他和鼓手在台上尬鼓技,是种享受。

记忆力超强的他,根本无需提字机或琴谱。这是不是也增添了几份魅力呢?

大家也超爱萧敬腾的悲伤情歌。他的唱腔,脸上的表情一点都不浮夸,是很干脆的把内心的情感和痛处展现在歌曲里。

最有感触的是”只能想念你”,”会痛的石头”和好久没听见的”原谅我”。

他唱的撕心裂肺,当下听得眼泪就在眼眶里打转,回忆也不断的涌现。当时心里是这么想的,如果再来一首”善男信女”让它彻底地痛彻心扉,该有多好?

当然也少不了萧敬腾成功翻唱的”新不了情”。不管听多少次,还是博有韵味。

令人动容的画面就是在演唱”这首歌”时直接不用麦克风,用其强大的声量把歌词都传递给在场的每一位观众。这就是老萧的诚意,蔓延到场馆的每一处,触碰甚至穿透你我的心。

可惜他有多首脍炙人口的歌曲都没唱,幸亏有唱我最喜欢的王子的新衣,疼愛,让我为你唱情歌,阿飞的小蝴蝶 & 王妃!

中场时有播放一小段串场Video道出萧敬腾这些年来打拼的故事。17岁就在民歌餐厅驻唱,可是都没人认真听他唱歌,直到星光大道才改变他的人生。多年的创作都不被接纳,直到最近才有机会发表自己的作品。

这音乐之路从来都不是外人看来的顺遂,唯有努力不懈才能坚持下去。

我也忘了他出道已有11年。还记得那在星光大道踢馆时顶着一头”金毛狮王”的男孩,一鸣惊人。

他说除了唱歌,他什么都不会。

其实大家无非喜欢那么率真,可爱,纯粹因为热爱歌唱,而唱的他。

这样的人在舞台上会发光发热,也会把力量传递给你。

出众的天赋和嗓音,就是他最大的武器和魅力。没什么想和别人去斗争,只想开心地唱着自己喜欢的歌曲的淳朴阿美族小孩。

或许是小编不够”In”吧,不是很能欣赏他的服装时尚。不过我们该为他的勇敢和自信给点掌声,就是要穿出自己的个性。虽然有痞子和台客味,但还是令人眼前一亮的。

最令人印象深刻的就是他那一席套装+短裤。那难得一露的白皙美腿,还跪在地上,真是吸睛不少。

就在演唱”王妃”之后,发现自己的链断了,边四处在舞台上找”残骸”,边嘀咕”这条链很贵的,我买不起啊”。这很跳 Tone的剖白,把之前的霸气弄得荡然无存。

他说听说新加坡的观众比较冷静,可是他觉得大家好激动啊! 所以谣言不能信!

新加坡的观众比起其他国家来说是比较冷静。不过这次观众抱以热烈的掌声和欢呼声来勉励老萧。观众情绪High, 表演者更加High. 这是很好的互动。

看他烙了几句英文,如”Touching”就沾沾自喜的模样,令人会心一笑。

希望有观看演唱会的你,可以重温一些 Moments,也能吸引到没到场的你,下次买票来观赏老萧的演出。

若有机会,还蛮想听萧敬腾和邓紫棋,这两位巨肺歌手合唱一首。不知他们会飙高音到什么音阶,不过会是首很摇滚,很有震撼力的金曲!

希望老萧不要再让我们等个3年才来开唱。1-2年来一次会比较好。

继续用你的生命,热诚和纯粹来演唱这最美丽的旅程!Read More →
