DAVID ON FIRE


Another gorgeous pix courtesy davidcn. The Music on Fire interview was really nice, although nothing much new as if u r David fan, u should know most of the stuff he has been saying abt the album. The 4 instrument, msg in Ghost, challenge for fan, etc but it was great to see him talking away. He was vry relaxed & they showed snippets of his mvs & some behind the scenes. The first mv was Runaway & forgotten how much I like this song & the mv. Esp the vry US scenery plus the runaway Asian teens. Almost like he is talking abt his struggles when growing up in the US. In 1 of his msgs, he mentioned abt a road trip but not having the time to do one. Surprised that living in the US for so long but he had yet to do a road trip.
They also showed bits of Moon over my heart, My Anata & Black Tangerine mvs & have to agreed that on the whole, Black Tangerine mvs are so much better. Even the ballads like Angel & Melody are beautifully visualised in the mvs. When Derek, the interviewer, said the ending of Who do you love mv is 'open', David revealed that he was the one who suggested the open ending as he felt that if he had to make a choice, he will choose neither Red or White Rose. Hm vry diplomatic of David heehee.

They also talked abt Song for Anita & David said that after WaWa, his lyrist, finished the song he was surprised how close it was to his own feeling abt Anita. WaWa said that she wanted a Mona Lisa type of song, rather mysterious, not knowing what was behind the strange smile. Really love this song & if I have to choose a fav from The Great Leap, it will still be Song for Anita. Probably not the best song or the most memorable but everytime I listen to it, its vry refreshing & kinda strengthening. Really characteristic of Anita.

Other news posted @ Taiwan yahoo grp is David wrote a song for Fan Wei Yi. Its a lighthearted love ballad & Fan Wei Yi was at first afraid of David being tough in the recording, but turned out he was great & showed her many methods of singing. Dun know much abt her but she was in a few taiwanese idol series. Here a pix of her with a dog, hopefully its hers.

According to sum forums, she is supposedly one of the few female tawianese singers who can sing live & not embarrassed herself.
Also according to nlayhua, PSC Nite was a disappointment as David lip synched but still its not the 1st time he did it on tv & probably not the last. He also lip synched to Who do you love @ Sprite Award. Sumtimes fans have to be understanding that singers cannot sing live all the time. Sumtimes its to preserve their voice or they r not feeling their best, sumtimes impossible to sing live cos of the sound system. David tried to sing live most of the time in front of an audience cos he can & sound great. He has no reason to lip synch. Its only cos of the circumstances so I think it should be excusable. After all, he did sing live wonderfully during the Expo mini showcase.
