Woah last day of 2005 & the report card of David looks vry good haha Shanghai concert *tick* Beijing concert *tick* Singapore concert *tick* & of cos The Great Leap 2005 *big fat tick* Small mention of The art of war among dj's fav 5 songs which is what can be expected of David's works always being mentioned quietly & without fanfare by those who geuinuely appreciate good music.
So upload clip of 2000 Solar concert in HK where David sang a song he specially wrote with Wang Lee Hom, Eason Chan, Nicholas Tse and Daniel Chan. I enjoy the performance more each time I watch & hope u do too. The singers representative of some of the best in chinese entertainment. Direct link if u can't watch here. Polopolo21 here 3rd part of Happy Sunday with David singing Rainy Day with Selina & Hebe.
First Eason Chan who also has a vry good 2005 winning many awards for both his Cantonese & Mandarin albums. He took a gamble by sticking to the songs he want to sing rather than crowd pleasing K songs & it paid off. Also helps that he has such a unique voice. Not trying to compare but Eason would probably be the successor to Jacky Cheung, both equally good in singing & acting but opting to concentrate more on singing. It has been rumored that Eason will take over from Jacky in Snow Wolf Lake nxt yr.
Then Nic Tse whose fame has gone down quite a bit since this clip but Nic could be the successor to Andy Lau. Goodlooking, not a bad singer, can compose & write lyrics, not a bad actor with lotsa room for improvement. Daniel Chan seemed to have faded into mainland China doing a few series & movies. He has quite a decent voice and okay actor. He is quiet spoken & gentlemanly a bit like Leon Lai.
So is Leehom successor to Aaron Kwok then haha not really dun think anyone come close to Aaron. Vry fond of him myself, so glad he got GHA for best actor cos I think he is a better actor than ppl give him credit. Thought he was excellent in Anna Magdalene besides Kelly Chen's stiff, one tone acting & Takeshi Kaneshiro's usual repressed role. Leehom has also done well this yr with Shangrila & recent concert in Vegas. Fans seem to love his newly released album.
As for David, I think he is fortunate to have fans who will not accept anything but the best from him. We r always so critical of him & maybe that's why he so hard on himself, always the perfectionist. There was a clip of him on Golden G & even with his hairstyle he must have it perfect. He also taught me a very valuable lesson & that is one must always move ahead & change is inevitable.
At first I could not accept the way he is always progressing & incorporating new things slowly into his music. But once I started this blog, I find that to keep pace with him & the rest of the world I too have to progress & make changes. I now realised that David is usually one or two steps ahead of the pack. This really made me in awe of him. He really is very special, so glad he is my idol. Anyway I hope David, Leehom, Eason, Nic, Daniel & all of us will follow our dreams into the new year. Happy 2006!
