David's true colors

Do I hear the sound of breaking hearts? David finally admitted he has gf & think we all know who she is. Just kidding cos I think all your fans will be happy & hope to see you married soon & have bb. So long for a DT junior & definitely will get specially designed DT shirt from our resident designer (Lynn are you reading?).
Details of his Beijing Concert online but look how they translate the title :D
Only You The Terrific Music Tour - David Tao 2005 Concert
Time: 2005/9/10
Venue: Capital Gymnasium
Price: 180/280/380/480/680/880
Not only that but read the copy & thought hey that's reli reli reli familiar & realised they lifted from my David profile hahaha truly amazed that concert venue in Beijing actually visited the blog forum. Not gonna charge for copyright cos its my darling David (can be more intimate now u r taken ^__^). Just so pleased & proud I can help promote for David in english so gonna write more great stuff abt my most beloved idol as who knows who gonna visit next rite heehee
Anyway David attended a few chatshows looking gorgeous as usual but so irritating they asked 'wu liao' qtns like his dad's rumored debt & whether he will write song for Jay (he said yes if Jay asked), & why he hold his concert in lesser capacity venue than Jay (kinda implying that he has less fans *sigh*), but David just jokingly said he dun want ppl in the last few rows not to pay attention.
Then they asked what was his biggest audience & he said 40,000 which was in Taipei but in parentheses they said its still not more than Jay *roll eyes*. Fyi the record no of concert attendance in Taipei is still held by David & Mayday, both broke 40,000. Jay's concert did not break the 40,000 mark. Not that I care or anything but since this is fact not hype. Jay's promoters can claim whatever figure they like in China, dun know why they always want to break record, trying to get Jay into Guinness?
What's the point of holding large-scale concert when not sure if u can filled seats, in the end most if not all large-scale concerts held in China give away tickets. They would have made their profit once the more expensive seats r sold, so other seats just to make up the nos so can claim to fully filled concert. Its just so cynical, concerts r supposed to reward fans with music & entertainment not to boost the singer's profile in China but increasingly its like that.
David does not want to have such a concert, nor does he want to dance or take off his clothes in order to make the audience high. He just want to do it through his music. It may sound like he is insulting other artists but truly all he hope for is prove that a chinese concert can still be about the music, & nothing but the music. Close my eyes & wish David the very best although dun have much faith in other people at the moment, but I totally believe you can touch the hearts of many.
But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to
let them show your true colors
True colors are beautiful
like a rainbow
(From True Colors Lyrics by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, sang by Cyndi Lauper)

Btw can watch Sohu online chat here but cos the title has Jay's name hordes of vapid Jay fans as usual left rude msgs *evil eye*. Just cos David graciously answered question raised abt comparision but all he said was he felt in some areas Jay stronger than him & that he must work harder in these areas which is promotion & publicity. He felt that Jay being younger has advantage of idolism & he used that to great achievement. A vry honest & uncomprising reply.
Just to raise sum more facts in case any Jay fans loitering heehee - David has never claimed to introduce r&b to chinese entertainment. Other ppl make that claim for him. He has never wanted to fight for the r&b crown. But the fact is NOBODY introduce r&b to the chinese, it has always been around. How can you introduce something that not only exists but is readily available? If ppl are so musically ignorant that they have never heard this style of music till David or Jay, why give credit? Nobody ever said Eminem introduce rap to young urban whites do they?
The other thing I get annoyed when Jay fans said that its cos of Jay, ppl knew of David so Jay is better. That's just in yr face idiotic. Its like saying oh cos of this extremely talented young chinese artist called Jay who painted in the style of Cubism I got to know Pablo Picasso & Jay's works now more well known in China therefore Jay has now exceeded Picasso in his Cubist paintings. Like an equation rite? Ok, children, how abt a test question then hmmm. Lotsa Chinese singers sing r&b before Jay, name one of them apart from David? If u can't, go wash yr mouth with soap heehee
There's just as much r&b in Michael Jackson's albums as David or Jay, but nobody ever called MJ King of r&b. He is King of POP. That's rite, they are all just POP, and David even called himself a POP musician because he is honest & never pretend to be something he is not. Unlike some.
Finally Jay fans said David should be embarrassed to be compared to Jay who is younger, more popular, better looking, more talented, more fans, more internet searches, more votes, etc, etc, etc. PLSE listen to what u r saying. If Jay with his unceasing fame, popularity & hype is so 'incomparable' then why is he constantly being compared to a far less popular artist a decade older who released fewer albums, has far less commercials & endorsements, hold fewer concerts in fewer countries & has not acted in any movie? Why does that say abt Jay? More importantly what does that say abt David?
If I am Jay's promoter, should be more careful of such comparision in future now that Jay so pushy for international fame in Japan & US. Better not let them know abt David Tao & have them make the comparision cos u never know what might happen rite *wink wink*
David on the other hand has no such fears as he is comfortable with his own level of fame & popularity. He is more concerned with the fans he has now (like me yeah) & hoping to bring them the best sound, the best performance, the best music, the best concert *getting excited*. Cos he is not just an entertainer but a POP musician with his heart in the right place.

When did he admit he has a girlfriend!!!!! I read all the interview lately and he always refuses to answer that question or dodges it. Did I miss something?!!

during the recent Sohu on-line chat, David was very evasive towards the question of whether he has a girlfren, so the host commented that his hesistant reply was already an indrect admisssion..... that's my deduction

I've grown to worship you for the way you write stuff which are unbiased and true. Regarding the Dave-Jay thing, I've got friends who are ardent fans of Jay coming up to me and passing some real crude remarks about Dave. I did what you did- ignore them. Keep the spirit going.
