The Man in Beijing

David interviewed @ China station. He looks so fresh & glowing, vry yummy *lucky Joanna* heehee Apparently Selena of SHE also holding concert in Beijing again claimed David as her idol & when asked if she is jealous that David publicly acknowledged his loved one, she sweetly replied that she is happy her idol is so romantic haha also when SHE was recording msg for David, Selena was the only 1 who gave flying kiss.
I know how you feel Selena *__^ It is just me or is David becoming more & more scrumptious? Below online news regarding David & She concerts in Beijing, only extracted David's news:
SHE & David to Hold Beijing Concerts
As for David Tao, he performed in Shanghai earlier in August, dancing the Tango. The excellent show in Shanghai has fans expecting a more successful one in Beijing. The star and EMI record company broke the ice sculpture of the figure 10,000, hoping concert attendance will surpass this number. David also told to media that he would buy house in Beijing after the concert.
Lucky Beijing fans, yr idol will be so much closer. Btw just wanna point out sumthing abt concert attendance. Basically concert attendance has been falling worldwide & last yr quite a few US artists had to cancel their concerts cos of poor sales, also they were vry greedy & overpriced their tickets. Last yr top 20 concerts in US here, as usual older, more established stars such as Phil Collins & Sting head the list, even Bette Midler did better than Usher. Also results based on average sales per city not attendance, so the free seats dun count. Even so by using simple maths, can figure out the average attendance of Phil Collins who headed the list - 14,158 per city.
So if as claimed, a certain Shanghai concert managed an attendance of 80,000, dun you think there will be worldwide headlines & all the US artists will be on the next plane to Shanghai? Cos they only have to charge USD10 per ticket to make at least USD800,000 in one night! So think one should not take extravagant claims for concert attendance in China seriously. Usually they just take the capacity of the stadium as attendance not the sales. So let say they released 10,000 tickets & sold all, they would claimed full capacity & viola the ridiculous figure of 80,000.
David's concert had 95% sales & around 22,000 tickets were sold so he probably released around 24,000 tickets in a 40,000 capacity stadium. Compared to Phil Collins's 14,158 & can understand why David grinned happily when he said he was satisfied with ticket sales in Shanghai. Cos there is at present so many concerts scheduled in Beijing, David is realistically hoping for a more modest figure - over 10,000. Really hope he can get at least 20,000. Anyway sry to get all analytical here but just hate ppl to put down David's 22,000 attendance as unsuccessful cos they believed sum stupid hype. As reward heehee for reading this serious stuff I will post link to watch abt 10 mins of Shanghai concert, info credit davidcn.
Even from such a short clip, can see its totally diff from Soul Power. As Mark said, there's more theatrical feel to this concert. New arrangement of the songs vry subtle, familiar yet diff. What can I say but THIS MAN IS SO INCREDIBLY TALENTED! Totally smitten once again haha 1 vry diligent davidcn mbr noted that he changed 'cola' in Airport in 10.30 to Sprite, naughty David heehee BUT then I noticed that it was the 1st time Coke rep actually attended his media event in Beijing cos normally only Sprite rep or they called themselves Sprite rep, except this time it was COCA COLA & Sprite rep. Maybe they wanna hint to David not to change it again. Always wonder why they dun used that song for cm, it will make perfect classic coke cm, u know, guy waiting in airport anxiously drinking coke & when he was abt to give up & leave sumone handed him a coke & it was the girl then they walked off hand-in-hand with 'baby baby baby' still playing (^___^)
Also admin put up short clip @ davidtao.com of rehearsal & concert footage. Can dl from Yahoo briefcase if u dun understand chinese & cannot register to view the clip. Finally if you gonna attend his concert in any of the cities, advise you save & get the best seats cos if not, you will be full of regrets & kicking yourself like sum fans who attended the Shanghai concert. This is one concert where you wanna get upclose & personal. Some pixs courtesy davidcn as credited
