Our songwriting prodigy!

Very charming here, love the white jacket. He has a few white jackets but this one is the nicest I think. Goes with his ripped jeans, not too sure abt the spotty tie but overall one of the best ensemble I seen him wear. Here can hear him sing snippet of Susan Says (Link courtesy Phoebe @ davidtao forum) & I thought he did extremely well to adapt the song to a live band without backup singers. Really enjoy this impromptu version, David has such a special quality when singing live.
It could be ppl find his singing 'weird' that day cos they r not used to how hard it is to sing his songs. Most HK songs r kinda written for singers who can't sing vry well >"< so live version usually monotonous & easier to sing. Remember HK songwriter commented that its easy to write for Eason Chan cos he can sing any kind & any range of songs. Considering that David had to attend concert promo & radio interviews with little time to rehearse with the band, for sure he did the best he could.

Hello all DT fans~
Just wanna share with u guys that I saw David last nite in TVB's music program.
David is so nice, he always wave back to us when we waved him!! (Actually, I am way toooo old to join such music show, but this is really for David~ you know my friend and I are over 30 already!

Thk so much Kitty from HK for sharing yr DT experience with us ^__^ As missred & Angel said, can nvr be too old or young to enjoy DT heehee Hi Bing De, actually we come from all over the world here from Spore, Malaysia, Bangkok, Korea, Japan, Indonesia, HK, Australia to US. Sorry if I miss yr country but these r the ones I know.
Just wanna share this small review of Kaira Gong's album (scroll down) where the reviewer wrote "What's most remarkable about Gong Si Jia’s album is not that she wrote 80% of the songs in the album, but that those songs were better than the one penned for her by song-writing prodigy David Tao." WOW David praised as a prodigy but yet the song he co-wrote for Kaira not as good as her own? But do think the reviewer miss the point here.
When I first heard the song, I thought it was vry nice & suited to Kaira but not as outstanding as the song he wrote for Fanfan or Fish Leong. This song proved to be the most popular as kept hearing it everywhere cos vry easy on the ear & to sing, probably karaoke fav by now. Hopefully it will make ppl buy the album & listen to the better songs penned by Kaira. All albums need at least 1 K song to entice ppl to listen. David always try to challenge his listeners but he also try to include a few crowd-pleasing songs. When he write songs for others, I guess he try to challenge the singer as well. So guess the review got 1 thing correct - David is a songwriting prodigy but we all know that already :P
