Msia Beautiful Promo - KL

I am done with sulking ^__^ so back with recent pixs of David in Msia. The necklet looks kinda girly but still he looks glowing, in the pink of health heehee his jacket is actually powder pink *shudder* Some articles here & here, pixs rather small but vry nice.
The mc for his 10/6 autograph session told David that his Msia fanclub has prepared gift for him. David thought it was mooncake & said that he has eaten mooncakes the whole day. The mc said no but knowing that David likes chicken, they have prepared a chicken lantern for him. David at once explained that its not that he likes chicken but his chinese zodiac is chicken. Everybody laughed as 'chicken' is a euphemism for 'prostitute' in chinese. During the press conf in the afternoon, David actually asked for a chicken lantern to take pixs but there wasn't one. But he received a model helicopter which is pretty cool I thought. He can put his DT doll in front of it & it will look actually like Love Can concert :P (Info & pix credit starlady @ SGFC)
His Piccolo Galleries showcase was staged along the road & a lot of fans were risking their lives by standing on the road where the cars were whisking by. After singing Wang Bu Liao, David felt apologetic and said he hasn't sang in the middle of the road for a while but since it wasn't a hot day so it was great for meeting his fans. Normally singers who are staging concert will not sing publicly 3 weeks before but David broke this taboo *__* A European tourist who after listening to David sing, bought Tai Mei Li album & even queued for his signature. David was surprised on seeing him & wished him Happy Moon Festival. David said KL is his last stop for Love Can concert not his last concert so not sure if this means that he is still considering staging concerts in North America. These concerts will not be like Love Can as they will be much smaller in scale. He also said that he will be adding new songs & he will going all out as it is the last stop. He asked his fans to be high from start to finish. His fans from HK, Taiwan & I guess Japan will be there to support him too.
Managed to catch the AIFM radio interview which was pretty good. His seductive voice melts my hardening heart & makes me trust in him again ^__^ The DJ called Ching Ching I think *trust me it sounds better in chinese* asked some interesting questions. Can't remember all of it as I was doing some fairly important stuff while listening. She asked if a singer will release an album like Beautiful which is a reflection on one's life only once. But David replied not really, he felt it could be once or more. She felt that after listening to Beautiful from start to finish she realised there was a lot of meaning in the album and its telling a complete story. David said that when he let some of the mv directors listen to the album the first time, they also felt that it was telling a story from first love to what happened before marriage & after. Strangely enough I thought I was the only one who thought the album is like telling a whole story.
The first song they talked abt is Beautiful & Ching2 said that its like a continuation of I love you & David kinda agreed. She played Wang Bu Liao & asked David abt the change in style in covering old songs. David said that actually he likes hiphop & rap very much. He was doing hiphop much earlier for artists like LA Boyz now Machi before it became so popular in chinese entertainment. When he start releasing his own albums, he stopped doing hiphop as he was a bit tired of it. But now he decided to use it to cover an old song. David said that when he redo old songs, he will tried to change almost everything from lyrics to the beat. Ching2 said that Marry me today really lights up the album. She also loved the rap part saying it gives a fun feeling *At last someone who understands the rap inclusion* David then told a funny story abt this song. He said he has a female friend in US with a 2 yr old daughter who always cry on seeing him. But after listening to the song, the little girl now thinks David is her 'prince on a white horse' & wanna marry our Dave! David said that when he wrote the song, he hopes that people of all ages can enjoy it & so he felt vry happy that even a 2 yr old likes it.
Ching2 said that listening to Forever she can imagine a man standing in the dark under a spotlight singing. David said that the man is Tao Zhe ^__^ Actually this song was written during The Great Leap. He asked Andrew Chu & Josh Chen to write a song for him but was surprised it turned out to be so melancholy. Then Ching2 asked if Olia is not a real name & David said yes, that he was just trying to match the melody. But in his mind there is a little girl called Olia who is actually a metaphor for time. Ching2 regretted that time has ran out as she wanted to ask abt more songs. Isn't she lovely?
So anymore thanks to Sukyee I feel I should trust David more. Although his private life seems to be somewhat of a mess but whose private life is not a mess at some point? Just hope that the negative press will cease soon & I will still be here supporting him. A big thank you <3 <3 <3 to bloodbubble for latest clip from KL album promo. Enjoy!
