“You didn’t just make our dreams come true once, you made it come true 2 times.”- Kian

Westlife’s reunion is undoubtedly one of the best gifts bestowed upon the 80s and 90s kids. No matter how many new groups sprouted over the years, none is as good as old, for old is gold in our hearts.

Do these Irish guys still have it?

Oh yes, they absolutely do.

They age like the finest 1980s vintage wine. Looking as charismatic as yester-years, their vocals amazingly better, a tribute to Queen medley, a marriage proposal, a 48.75-second record breath-holding longest note for “Fool Again”, the thunderous cheers, massive karaoke session & white lights from a 22,000 strong crowd in the biggest indoor arena that they have ever played in their 20 years, pretty much summed up the reminiscence rendezvous.

You don’t need Infinity stones when you have Westlife. Their vocals have got healing and therapeutic powers which can soothe your hearts and minds.

“Eargasm” at its best.

Time came to a standstill when the quartet emerged on stage. We were channeled back to the early 2000s through a time tunnel.

The euphoric pleasures from yester years coming to life before you felt so surreal, making you feel young and old at the same time.

As they sang their new hit “Hello, My Love”, fluttering hearts screamed “Rehi, My Loves!”.

Yes, they are back to S̶W̶E̶A̶R̶ ̶I̶T̶ swoon us all over again with their melodious vocals. The lovelorn fans would no longer be flying without wings for Westlife’s reunion sparks hope and faith and have given them a pair of angel wings.

It was a dream come true twice for Westlife, and us.

The number of people sprouting on their feet, waving their hands, swaying along to their most renown hits, singing along as loudly as they could, screaming for these guys at the top of their lungs, the number of phone screens raised, was a clear indication how much Singapore fans miss Westlife.

The sound system at National Stadium is often described as “substandard”, but Westlife proved they could take full control with their strong vocals.

Classics are best served RAW.

This was most evident during their best hits like “Swear It Again”, “Uptown Girl” and “If I Let You Go”. The crowd reacted the most fervently during these timeless hits and past video snips on the LED screen brought back loads of adolescent memories.

“If I Let You Go” exuded the most Nostalgia vibes as I watched the “young lads” on screen. We could vaguely remember Jamie Teo right in making a guest appearance during “Uptown Girl” back in Westlife’s 1st SG concert.

We could still remember the lyrics of yester years by heart as we sang along line after line. Some things are just etched in the mind and heart.

You felt like a teenage girl once again, going gaga over your long-time-no-see high school beaus who have maintained themselves so well.

Westlife’s vocal has got a therapeutic effect.

Shane sounding as perfect as ever, Mark’s remarkably high notes reminded you of Divas, while Nicky and Kian had a chance to prove they could sing fairly well too. Even more surprising was how Kian managed to pull off “I want to Break Free” so well.

Weslife announced disbandment at the height of their music career in 2012. This decision broke million of hearts worldwide. No matter how fans petitioned for a reunion, how many blank cheques were offered to them, they stuck by their decision to have a go at their personal interests. They thought this was the end of Westlife, and we too, thought this was really it.

20 years passed us by & many things have changed in the course of our lives, including these guys who took a break to get back to normal routine lives.

“What makes a man” seems to be the most apt song for these guys who have tasted fame and popularity, but being able to let it all go at their peak. It takes more than pure courage and determination to stand by what they believed in and wanted so badly.

This was in exchange for a commoner’s life, for more time with their families.

As Nicky put it, they never knew what a “routine” life was. They have matured and nurtured into family men, loving husbands, daddies and pursued their solo interests. Now that they are ready to take on the world stage once more as Westlife, they made good their promise to return bigger and better.

These humble, down-to-earth, fun-loving guys didn’t change.

Their new collaborations with Ed Sheeran have seamlessly integrated them back to the current music scene. There’s an infusion of the latest pop elements in their new tracks. It affirms they did not just want to be a passé nostalgic act, but they still have what it takes to stay relevant now and all ready to move forth to the future.

National Stadium may be the biggest and hottest sauna they have ever played in, but they are just like the bubble tea that quenched our thirst in this humid weather.

We bet Shane wasn’t just talking about the weather when he said it was BURNING HOT. Mark exclaimed it was hard to believe that halfway across the way, people know their songs and names.

Nicky quipped that their lives totally changed when their band enjoyed worldwide popularity. They were grateful for the love and support for the past 20 years, even when they split up, got married and did different things.

Kian confessed they were really worried if they still had it if they were to make a comeback. We didn’t even need to hear the resounding “YES” from the audience to know that’s not a cause for worry at all. Even when the guys had their reservations, we never doubted it.

Kian shared that “You Raise Me Up” was what they sang at his dad’s and Nicky’s dad’s funerals. This song is about family, their beloved departed, the ones that are still here and for all their loved ones around the world.

It was an impactful, heartfelt moment when their soulful rendition comforted our hearts. It was a poignant moment to reflect. The resounding backup vocals from the audience raised goose bumps.

While some may feel it’s a drastic twist from their usual “acapella” performances, I simply love their “Tribute to Queen” segment. How smooth Kian sounded in “I want to break free” caught us by sheer, pleasant surprise. We loved his solo on the electric guitar. It didn’t matter if their butt shaking was a little awkward.

We love how Westlife unleashed the little wild side in them. That clamping and thud-thumping during “We Will Rock You” never gets old. They did a splendid job for “We are the Champions” too.

When it was time for Encore, the silhouettes of these guys walking up the stage was Déjà vu at its best manifestation.

Clad in white suits, they looked like angels descending from heaven, when they began crooning to the all-time classic “Flying without wings”. It reminded us of them donning similar but longer-flowing white suits back in 2001.

Time has been kind to these lads-turned-dads. They are still oozing with charisma; they still make butterflies flutter in our stomachs.

The last song “World of Our Own” depicts their take on life the most. No matter what people say, they held on to their beliefs, without yielding in to allow the world to change them, but for them to build a world of their own.

Now, we are glad that they have let us back in again to their world.

Thank you Westlife for the awesome performance, swooning us with your amazing vocals & positive vibes.

在韩流崛起之前的年代，曾有个台湾男子团体，凭着数字的团名在亚洲各地，刮起一阵极大的旋风。

他们像”神话”般的崛起，让低迷的唱片市场”风云变色”，也创下了无数的”奇迹”。即便起初的不被看好，被称为是台湾”土鸡”团体，但他们秉持着”赌一口气”的精神，在戏剧，歌唱，主持方面，创下了傲人的成绩。

事过境迁，”传说”再现后，变得悠然自得，皆因他们见过”世界最美的风景”。他们是2000年代表性的台湾天团 – 5566。

5566这个团名，不知承载了多少人的青春岁月。

2019年7月6日这一夜，仿佛是场大型的老友KTV聚会。

除了无数的综艺梗和互相调侃的环节和首首动人的金曲，最窝心的就是。。这场演唱会充满了无限的用心，诚意，认真，真诚，真挚的情感和那相互应的感动，满满的感谢和感激。56不知在台上说了多少遍谢谢台前幕后工作人员，前来的粉丝，也播放了许多和粉丝们的合照。56感激大家对他们的不离不弃，粉丝们也感激56依然在他们的生命里。

首首动听的经典歌曲，寒暄，没”营养”的谈话内容，和那诚意满满的舞台设计，编曲，runway，以及载歌载舞，都令8000粉丝始终热情。 这是场甘中带苦，苦中带甜，感激，感谢和感慨，非常得来不易的演唱会。

那一夜，美的不像话。

除了歌迷亮起的”星海”，呐喊声，56的歌声，和那句”大家好，我们是5566!”，不知已红透了多少眼眶。他们和歌迷话语间的欢笑声，笑容都是发自内心的。

拼了命的演出，不只是为了”赌一口气”，而是为了让默默等待和守候他们多年的歌迷，创造一个新的回忆。 就像歌迷手上的边幅写着，”我们一起再创 memories”.. 除了岁数和小小的身形变化，在个性上就是变得更沉稳，成熟，更有歌迷的心，但也不失那幽默和调侃的功力。

岁月带不走思念，更带不走那股热忱。

开场曲”传说”的过门一下，所有的回忆都如惊涛骇浪般涌现。当初的感觉，记忆，酸甜苦辣，至今仍历历在目。16年似乎就在眨眼间。回忆是那么真切地可怕。听到他们那再也熟悉不过的歌声，就像是喝了杯曾最爱的温拿铁，依旧那么暖胃，那么对味。他们在舞台上依然霸气和气势十足。

岁月磨去了年少轻狂的棱角，让他们变得和我们更加地亲近。

虽然当年的”西街少年”都已变中年了，但仍那么卖力地为粉丝表演，一点也不输当年的气势和韵味。不管时光改变了什么，不变的还是那份感觉。我喜欢他们现在所散发的魅力。不是事事都要争第一，而是争取舞台和喜欢他们的人再次相遇。

虽然他们偶尔会落拍或在音准上没那么完美，但比想像中好很多。毕竟那么多年没上舞台表演，还要30几40岁的他们跳舞，其实是挺考验体力和耐力的。仁甫的声线依然保持着那柔和清澈的水准。协志依然帅气，颜值能力压许多20几岁的”小鲜肉”。孟哲 is at his prime age, 所以是长得最好看的时期了。

很喜欢这次的舞台设计，尤其是那环绕360度的跑道。制作团队也在舞台的灯光效果下足了心思，有倾斜的”5566″LED 灯泡. 他们精心地为一些歌曲重新编曲。更欣慰的是看见蓝波老师仍和他们并肩作战。

56知道歌迷们有多爱”我难过”，贴心地唱了3个版本。歌迷要的不是多完美的演出或新曲，而是和56一起庆祝共同存在的岁月。有56的相伴就是歌迷们里的10全10美。。

他们自娱自夸的能力也不是盖的。这群人一向都不走偶像路线，而是搞笑亲民的谐星路线，不按牌理出牌，没偶包, 所以总能让人捧腹大笑。你的潜意识会把他们的出现和”带来欢乐”画上等号。

不管是”神话”，”无所谓”，”风云变色”，”传说”等，这些歌曲都是在他们巅峰期”夯”及一时的电视剧主题曲。看着那熟悉的舞步和感觉肾上腺素飙升的状态而言，岁月似乎不曾流逝。

仁甫逗趣地问歌迷们，如过他们60岁还在跳”神话”，粉丝是会欢呼还是会笑? 孟哲开玩笑说歌迷应该会连署不要他们跳”神话”，因为担心他们的骨头会散。其实不难想像他们到时的模样。舞姿应该就像是在做复建，而且一定跑拍。=P 仁甫感性地补了一句: “我们的开始有你们。。接下来的每一天也要有你们。”

56依然在台上活蹦乱跳，散发着 Happy Virus. 很喜欢他们精心准备的一连流行组曲。他们巧妙地运用环绕舞台和歌迷近距离接触，炒热气氛。看到他们现在眼里都闪烁着发自内心的喜悦，那也就是我们身为粉丝的慰藉。

看着大家摇曳着的边幅印着 “我们再一起再创 memories”， 全场亮起白色的手机灯变成一片白色灯海和星空，齐声合唱，一阵暖意钻进心底，泪珠在眼眶里打转着。 或许我们是他们见过最美的风景，因为任凭时光飞逝，那份爱始终存在着。 他们犹如”白色花漾”的旋律一样动听，永远是我们青春里的一首经典歌曲。

他们用心地表演，只因不想愧对等待他们多年的歌迷，也不知下次的相聚会在。台上的人为了台下的观众尽情，卖力，很快乐地表演，台下的也为台上的热烈喝采。那是相互应的快乐。这全都是因为爱。

人生也不过就如此。我们都是为了我们爱的，和爱我们的人奋斗。

仁甫依然”疯疯癫癫”，蹦蹦跳跳，就像时间不曾流逝一样。处女座的仁甫对工作一直都是秉持着”认真”的态度。 因为能重回舞台，于是献唱了一首”Thank You for Loving Me” 献给所有的粉丝们，还在荧幕上投影着许多和歌迷从以前至今的合照。

“赌一口气”就是56的slogan。 仁甫希望在女儿心里，爸爸和BTS一样帅气。以处女座龟毛且不服输的个性， 仁甫还是硬着头皮把所有的精力投入在这一段舞蹈。只要用恒心和毅力，他还是能克服一切障碍，把事情做好。口才一流的仁甫苦说还是歌迷最好，不论他是什么身形，都不会唾弃他，依然那么支持他。

孟哲外表依旧有稚嫩的成分，但多了份英俊挺拔，有担当的感觉。30而立过后的他赫然发现自己是被5566耽误的”饶舌歌手”。他变得更有自信，也能滔滔不绝地表达自己的想法。狮子座的他也证明了，他是有理想抱负的，也很清楚自己该走的方向。

双鱼天生浪漫，却也多愁善感。 身为团长的协志，以前老是被团员嫌爱”碎碎念”。但时隔多年，能听他语重心长地娓娓道出这些年来的大起大落，你不得不佩服这双鱼男的韧性。

协志感性地说他们等了好久才能办这场演唱会，在新加坡也拥有好多回忆，感谢大家2003年以来喜欢着他们，才有了当晚的重逢。他表示不知道还会不会有下一场演唱会，所以他们都把每一场都当最后一场来进行。 他语重心长地说，即使有人喜欢，也要有别人给予表演的舞台。 协志一番感性的话，却是很到位地把现实钻入你的心坎里。人生有起，也有落。他们走过了最辉煌的一段旅程，也熬过了最低潮的时期，如今更懂得珍惜。

小刀一出现就把现场气氛搞得很High，又笑声连连，让团员们有些许吃味。他的出现无疑给了他们一针强心剂。能够看他们一起表演”无所谓”和原版的”我难过”，似乎是了了大家许久的心愿。

16年过去了，却看到他们对人生的悠然自得。他们虽然重复唱着”失去的不能重來”,但像这次失而复得的机会，大家都会额外珍惜。能夠重新编织新的回忆是一种幸运，所以我们要惜福。

我好像没见过他们在台上那么开心过，是那种发自内心的开心。

这晚”星空”的璀璨，会在56和歌迷们的心中珍藏着。那份感动，会一直烙印在大家的心里。

56不会亡，因为有庞大歌迷的”守候”。

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 →

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 →
