Tension is back!

TENSION!!!!! at last. Appearing in promo for Doritos. All teary to see them together again. Apparently they cannot released new album cos of sum co problem? (not sure abt this), so they have been doing other work. Jimmy in a movie (not sure starring or directing), Raymond hosting programs in TW, Brian teaching singing in US, Andy & John working in Andy's dad's co in Shanghai. Andy's dad not so good health so Andy is happy to help out but his love is still music. And oh they busy writing songs too ^__^
Raymond in the middle seems to have gain weight, John lost weight & Jimmy *muak* has more muscles heehee Below Brian wearing cap sounds most like David & Andy is the most shuai one. Jia you Tension! You will always be judged on your talents not your looks, popularity or sales. Even though it's tough but I truly believe you will all achieve your goals. All Tension pixs credit Attension.com
Anyway waiting for more news abt David's concert in TW but it seemed to have stalled. Even the info has been removed from ticketing website so really at the moment its not clear when the Taiwan concerts will be held. But I am sure there will be updates soon.
Anyway its a good long break for David & hopefully he is working on his new album altho not sure if the co problems Tension is experiencing will be extended to David. Whatever just so touched at the honesty & sincerity of both David & Tension who always tried so hard to maintain their standards without overblown hype. They just let their music speak for them & if the ppl who hear their message are not in great numbers well so be it. At least they can sleep at night.
Just a bit more on Rain altho dun wanna turn this into Rain blog +__+ Just wanna point out that Rain's mentor is Park Jin Young, talented songwriter/producer who successfully break into the US market & has written songs for American singers including Will Smith. Say what u like abt Rain but the standard of his albums r certainly worldclass. The songs are r specially written for him & they r not the usual syrupy pop karaoke stuff. When Rain first started out, he had to lipsynch cos he was not professional enough to sing & dance at the same time. He was embarrassed abt that & began serious voice training. Now he is confident to say that he hardly ever off-key when he sings & dances live.
Its easy to record a nice sounding album in the studio but to sound good live requires sum talent & a lot of hard work. It nvr all talent cos even the world's greatest singer still has to train. Rain put in the hard work cos he wanted to give the best performance on stage, yes he is not a great singer but at least he can project his voice & not sound off-key while he performed the moves in his own dance choregraphy. He is the consummate artist like David who went through so much work to bring us the best sound. So think before you dismissed Rain as just a 'dancer', do ppl called Usher just a dancer, what abt Michael Jackson? The 3 of them r dynamite on stage not cos they can dance but they put so much hard work into their choregraphy, singing & performance. Anyway who cares who hate on Rain, he is going to be HUGE.
