Let's all get sappy :P

David has given 100 marks for his Nanjing concert cos he miraculously recovered his voice before the concert. There were conflicting reports that the concert was not that well attended but yet it apparently caused traffic jam. Who cares so long as everyone had a great time *roll eyes* Actually Nanjing is not as economically well off as Shanghai & not a lot of ppl can afford even the cheapest concert ticket. David did his best to lower ticket prices but still some things are outta his control. Downloaded a most enjoyable clip of the Nanjing concert put together by an extremely talented DTFCer & I can say even if it was not full house, it certainly looked well attended. Anyway the most important thing is the concert ROCKS! Watching it kinda reminded me of Soul Power but more music focused, more powerful, more lyrical. The new arrangements sound like nothing you will ever hear in chinese music (think Soul Power intro) but yet synching seemlessly into the familiar melodies of his songs. Such a music genius *__* David's voice even when not at his best is still crystal clear.
Was doing a little surfing just now & as u know, there are lotsa love duets being released *sigh* Leehom & Selina did one as well as Mayday & Cheer Chen. Now their fans are claiming the duets are much BETTER than Marry me today. Excuse me but just how do you compare sappy love duets? The sappiness? The meaningful lyrics? How often you K them? Just goes to show sometimes idolatry can make one highly delusional. Besides these ppl really should know better than to stuff more cotton candy into listeners' ears. Btw it seems A-Mei's love duet was not written by David thank god ^__^ Still this is one trend I heartily wish David did not have a part in. Here's quite a funny article abt singers blindly following trends like r&b & 中国风 where David & Susan said are mentioned as part of the trendsetters.
Must say I am surprised at the no of votes for LA - 8. I thought it will only be 2 or 3 at most. So really hope DT can hold a concert in his hometown. Maybe I should add Thailand, Japan, Korea & Indonesia even though there's vry little chance he will hold a concert in these countries. Also do note that you can vote for more than one.

Haha. I totally agree. Beyonce once said that she wishes that the word 'Bootylicious' would go away.

Although I get annoyed that so many non-DT fans can only appreciate this song, I actually love it too. I'm sure we all have a cheesy side.

P.S. What do you think about putting a similar pole in the official forum? Is there one there?

Hi Sukyee, dun think there is a poll there but response there is always rather slack. DT fans just are not motivated enough online or maybe he is not vry interesting anymore. Hi Sean, thks vry much. Hi Celine, see yrself in the pixs? :)
