David in PJ

This pix (credit Sinchew.com) is killing me softly ... unruly hair, slightly unshaven face, a bit fatigued, the quirky look that only David can muster *melt melt melt* Only thing cannot bear to look at his swollen hand. He still cannot straighten his index finger & is quite concerned so will be consulting a specialist soon. Hope fervently all goes well & his hand will recover quickly *pray* Writeup below on his brief visit to PJ:
David Tao’s concert postponed to October
PETALING JAYA: Fans of Taiwanese superstar David Tao will have to wait another five months to watch their idol perform here after his concert yesterday was postponed.
But while the postponement of his “Love Can” World Tour 2006 concert in Malaysia will bring some disappointment, fans will be “rewarded” for their patience.
“Since the concert will be held after the release of my latest album, which is due in August, I will be singing some new songs from the album,” he said when announcing the new concert date here yesterday.
The concert, which was supposed to be held at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium yesterday, has been postponed to Oct 28.
One reason given is that the singer-songwriter is still nursing an injured finger caused by a motorcycle accident.
“It has been almost a month since the accident but my finger is still swollen and I can't straighten it.
“Maybe I should insure my hands as they are very important for me as a musician, especially as I need to play the piano or guitar,” he said, adding that he would see a specialist soon.
On the six Golden Melody Awards nominations he received for his album The Great Leap, Tao said: “Of course, I feel very happy.”
The awards ceremony is Asia's equivalent to the US Grammy Awards.
“Even though I have won the Best Producer award in 1998, I still hope that I can win the award again or the Best Album award as a recognition of my teamwork with other musicians,” he said.
On his latest album, Tao said he would collaborate with some Malaysian musicians for the production of the album.
“It will be very different from my previous albums. It will not be as heavy and straight forward as my Black Tangerine and The Great Leap albums.”

He sounded vry excited abt his 5th studio album & promised 'surprises'. I am excited too ^__^ dun you love the Talkies cover where they called him 'Genial God of Music'? (Pix credit talkies.com) Well hope his wish come true & he can get the best album award although my expectations not too high. While artists r claiming they dun mind not being nominated so long as fans are satisfied, its ironic that David did not catered to his fans when he released The Great Leap. Quite a few fans still do not like nor understand the album & many non-fans who like Black Tangerine thought The Great Leap was boring. I hope for his new album, David will once again not try to please his fans & listeners cos I think the "so long as fans are satisfied" excuse getting old. Had Mozart always tried to please his royal patrons & audience with the music they wanted to hear, the world would have lost some of the greatest music ever composed.
