jay chou concert

i have joined the dark side. i am the critic for now. i am going to give my honest opinion about jay's concert which ended at about 2230h.

overall, i feel it was a disappointing performance. well, it was alright at the beginning. but towards the middle, jay's performance somehow started to show some cracks and then came the ending which sealed my thought that his concert was not meant for someone who truly appreciates (his) music.

i agree that jay is a very talented artiste. there is no doubt making music is his inborn skill. i like his music and buy his cd albums. however, this concert of his just made him an ordinary 'commonfolk' singer. anyone who frequent the ktv and only sings his song can one day sings like him. he made several mistakes which i feel a singer shouldn't make. i'm not into music so can't speak the music jargons. i just feel, as an audience, i wasn't entertained. all the whistle and applauses come from fans. my applauses go to his performance too, except for his vocal.

a concert, i feel, is simply a visual enhancement to listening music on a cd player. hence, i see no reasons for a singer to alter the songs' rhythm, meaning and lyrics. take a-mei's recent concert for example. i have high praise for that. it was damn good. i hear the songs in their originality and also there were some added instruments to 'restyle' the songs. that made the songs special (heard in concert only). however, the vocal is still as strong and powerful to convey the meaning of the songs.

ok, stab me with that question "can you even sing?". honestly, i can't. "can jay do php?" he can't. say i'm old fashion or even shoot me with a pistol. i say jay still has a long way to go with his stage performance, in terms of vocal.
