13 days to concert

So happy to find 1 tongue sticking out pix at last heehee, credit davidcn. Actually heaps of great pixs there, mostly candid ones & its amazing the no of expressions David can have. He is one of the most expressive ppl I seen, most stars mostly a few but David has a whole range haha. Also lotsa writeups regarding his concert but nothing new, media asking same boring qtns even whether he will sing or dance with his mom *roll eyes* when will the chinese media take a concert seriously?
The latest in Tom David revealed he is buying a house in Beijing & he intended to live there for a while (lucky Beijing fans, but what abt Lucky & Malau?). He said being a chinese is lucky as can live in many diff cities in the same country. I feel that David quite the drifter like in the song Moon River, chasing after rainbows perhaps. Anyway glad he will be living in this part of world for a while.
Of cos unavoidable is comparision again & David as usual said not to compare, 2 diff things, etc. The stupid reporter tried to goad him by implying he is not so famous now. David just said dun matter to him, what's important is doing the music he wants to do. He rather that his music be remembered yrs from now not that he sold more albums than anybody else. He mentioned name of singer I dun recognised but must be someone vry significant in chinese music.
The stupid reporter, not knowing how smart our David is, brought up Lou Dayou & said that his influence also vry strong cos he used to be popular, but the other singer nvr been popular & that he is still remembered today cos his music considered social conscious. He asked if David felt that his music will be remembered too cos its considered social conscious. David replied that its for the reporter to find out not for him to say, then gently reminded that every one of his albums have sold well, but not something he worry abt as he felt that he has achieved healthy balance between good music & commercialism.
In other news, its reported both his Shanghai & Beijing concerts selling well, but claimed its cos David has nvr hold a concert in China before *sigh* There is much ambivalence in the chinese press abt David. They dun know how to categorised him. He's not really an idol singer but still not considered the kind of singer/composer past his prime & considered important only cos his music is deep but not vry popular. David's music is popularly loved by both young & old, his fans are young, old, male, female & come from all walks of life. He dun have much hype abt him but cannot be considered not vry well known either.
He is just David Tao, a most unusual Chinese musician ^__^
This dvd player he is holding is his 1st gift to his unofficial fanclub in China, DTFC. He really loves them a lot & is always grateful to them for their support.

Here vry adorable as he munched on birthday cake given to him. During his birthday cos of his concert promos, he had to eat quite a few cakes given to him, then when he went back home he still had to eat cake with his family. But at least he get more than one wish from blowing out the candles heehee. So earnest when he is making wish, nobody else can look quite like him when he is this sincere.

All DT pixs credit & much thanks to davidcn
