Make way for David

Fabulous concert poster (pix credit TW yahoo grp). Seems some singers like Stefanie having problem staging concert in Taipei Arena & Leehom in Coliseum, so vry glad that David managed to successfully staged his already. Not sure what's the problem but hopefully will be resolved soon so fans can enjoy their concerts.
Did a South Park DT circa soul power ^__^ his hair was longer then & was longing to use the earmike. Found below press release from KMB during David's concerts, imagine they actually had special bus routes during his HK concerts heehee guess they have it for most singers @ the Coliseum but still its really great, love it!
KMB Introduces Four Special Routes for "David Tao Love Can World Tour 2006"

Another funny little incident was when David was asked during Walkman promo abt Tien Sien Mei Mei also endorsing for the phone but he was clueless haha so am I actually, looks kinda tribal from the outfit. But just love it for some reason when he inadvertently reveals his ignorance abt Chinese culture, make him more real somehow. Maybe I am just crazy abt him *__* Btw it seems u can now order Ultrasound docu online, this one in Malaysia & also in TW posted @ yahoo grps. Maybe new release from EMI? Anyway get it while its still available. Below is the second part of 80s medley @ HK concert - just sensational!

David & The Beatles

Vry cool sexy pixs from Hk mag called Talkies (pixs credit davidcn). A bit dark & moodish but I really like them. Make him look charismatic. Like the clothes too. Btw taozeehk has spanking new look, vry nice, esp profile with changing b/w sketches of David thru the ages plus the most comprehensive list of David's awards, something my blog seriously lacked *sigh* Also they have posted up link @ HKU to dl David Talk, scroll down, in 4 parts & quite fast to dl. Vry enjoyable, he is so humorous & cute. Last part he strummed the guitar & sang Rain, just wonderful. Fell in love with him all over again. As always he mentioned The Beatles as the greatest of all time so went looking for some @ youtube & found their famous performance on the rooftop singing Get Back. Have to admit nvr listen to much Beatles but watching this I can understand why he rave abt them so much. Their sound is so pure, so clean, so fun, so manual, so different from the usual computer generated music we hear today.

The David Special

Glad u guys like South Park DT ^_^ It was fun doing them like doll heaven. Mark here the post u want but didn't really include any links or anything & dun remember where I got the source sry :( Vry quiet abt David, guess he is having a good rest & working on his new album *yeah yeah* There was another Chinese music award ceremony called Music Radio I think & almost everybody from Leehom, Jay, Jolin, Stefanie, JJ, FIR, SHE, Mayday, Guang Liang, u name it got at least 1 award except for David. He sure like being the odd one ^__~ Dun think its his doing but David always stands out from the crowd. Not that I am trying to make him extra special cos he is my idol but he just IS special.
Clip below is David singing 80s medley @ HK concerts posted @ youtube. Vry enjoyable, esp when he walked towards the camera on the bridge *melt* He really is a superstar. David Tan sang Sweet child of mine altho prefer my David singing but still he is vry good :P

DT Southpark style!

So cute even though forgot to put eyebrows on him heehee maybe make more later. Try it, quite relaxing on a bad day >"< swear if I hear that song 1 more time I vaporise :P Here's strange review of HK concerts:
David Tao wraps HK concerts

Last weekend saw a career consummation for singer David Tao, with three sold-out concerts at Hong Kong Colosseum. He belted out the vocals and played great guitar, despite an injured finger.
Descending from above, Tao landed on stage in a glittering white suit. The R&B singer recently injured his finger when losing control of a bicycle. But his guitar work was as solid as ever.
This is the second series of David Tao concerts in Hong Kong. Many famous friends came to support him, including Lee-hom Wang, Simon Yam, Sophia Kao and Leo Ku. Loud and loving crowds had Tao going non-stop all weekend long.
Somehow the singer saved enough energy for Sunday's after-party.
Editor:Wang Ping
career consummation??? The 'losing control of bicycle' is kinda hilarious ^__^ but guess not in China where bicycle is the most common form of transport. He did said recently that he will not ride his bikes again. Does that mean he will sell his gorgeous Italian bikes? Oh dear in 2 minds, I want him to ride the bikes cos its so romantic but dun want him to have an accident again.
Ronald Cheng recently released his New & Best CD & included is his duet with Freya Lin - Thinking of your love written by David. Nice to see Ronald getting back to his singing & having concerts again. He is really a vry underrated HK singer. Btw Zoe I did reply to yr comment but its not showing up for some reason. Anyway so glad you still around. Yeah glad u like my little parody on u know who heehee just cannot resist. I think David chosen by Sony Ericsson could be cos most of the Sony singers already endorsing other phone brands & more importantly he fit their requirements - healthy image, popular, singer/composer. Oh, manage to find Bee Gees' live performance of Tragedy on youtube ^__^

The appointment of David

Vry atmospheric pix ... hair falling on his face *silent scream* ^__^ Love it but seriously most of the concert pixs r great. Apparently the Walkman endorsement is quite major one. Here's a brief reposted from interfax.com:
Sony Ericsson hires R&B star David Tao to endorse Walkman handsets
Shanghai. April 20. INTERFAX-CHINA - Sony Ericsson appointed Thursday Chinese R&B singer and producer David Tao to endorse its Walkman music handsets, in an effort to increase brand recognition of its mobile phones on the China market. Sony Ericsson has, to date, launched three Walkman-branded mobile phones in China, namely W800c, W550c, and W810c, with further models to be added later this year. David Tao, a Shanghai-born celebrity, is popular among young people in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Tao will compose music for Sony Ericsson's Walkman handset series. In addition, Tao will participate in the mobile phone maker's promotional campaigns and endorse the Walkman handsets on print and outdoor media, TV, and the Internet, Sony Ericsson said in a statement.
While delighted of cos that David will get much exposure but now ppl will again complain he gone too commerical *sigh* Still if u cannot please everyone must as well please yrself. Also to ppl who come just to gloat abt poor David not in anything major - is Sony Walkman big enough? Actually some reports seemed surprised David got this endorsement. Even asked David abt rumor Sprite getting rid of him cos of his decreasing popularity but David said he only signed 2-yr contract with them. The Walkman contract also for 2 yrs but David declined to disclose his fee. Anyway the report said it reaffirmed David's heavenly king status *roll eyes*
Wonder if he pick up his 5 Pepsi awards? Actually really happy he is doing so well. I always believe that he is a shining beacon in the chinese music industry, & nice to see the recognition he finally getting. I will always continue to believe that David will stick to doing good music above anything else. If anything, this endorsement also means David will still be around for 2 yrs & not disappear to film his movie. So its all good.
Anyway so frustrated lately & inspired by screamingly funny parody of The Promise that I wrote below to amuse myself, but remember only for comic relief not criticism so dun get all chen kaige okie *_*:
Filming of another wuxia blockbuster in China masquerading as art film for western approval. All the major actors are sitting moodily around the set as 90% of the movie is done by stuntsmen and computer effects. In the corner, a small figure encumbered by his magnificent gold costume is mumbling to himself, "Ahhhhhh...this costume is so heavy ... so heavy ... so heavy. And why is that old actor so tall? I can't even reach his ears dammit with my special highheeled boots. Isn't he from HK? I thought they all short like Nic. The director has better make me taller than him, I am the diao one in this movie. And that Edison, how could he have got a Hollywood role before me? I am the diao one who won 2 Newcomer awards. So what if he can speak English. I speak Mandarin and noone understands me so why not English? What about that Rain? How can he be nominated as most influential in Time magazine? He is not diao at all. I am the influential one, the incomparable one, the one who influenced million of teens to mumble and look diao. And how dare Sony choose that Tao person as spokesman instead of me? I am the DIAO one who stole the r&b crown away from him. Wait till this movie get released, then they know who is the most diao. Ahhhhhhh...this costume is so heavy ... so heavy ... "

KL Love Can concert postponed

David singing Bee Gees @ Youtube, actually there heaps of concert clips @ youtube so have a look. Its unlikely Bee Gees section make it into dvd so TQ whoever taped & posted it. Maybe illegal but hey David will probably not sing it in his concert again. He just rocks singing Words, Too much heaven, More Than a woman, Jive talking, Tragedy & Staying Alive. I love Tragedy the most but all sounded great.
He looked super cute when he tried some moves heehee I can watch this clip over & over again. Anyway most should know abt new date for KL concert. Galaxy website has the explanation. Hope David will not try to strain his finger again, its ok we can wait for your new album. Just release the concert dvd first & we should be satisfied ^__~
David has written song for Walkman phone & guess it will be released first as single & also included in album. Although frown at such overt commercialism but *shrug* its hard enough to survive in chinese entertainment & so far David has really tried his best to balance between commercialism & his sincerity to do good music. There's news that Tension will not be releasing album for a while as EMI has not renewed contract with them. But I believe Tension will survive. They got to, they are too good not to. Really wanna do the interactive site for them but just dun have the time & too tired *sigh* Hope things settled down soon so I can do it.
Answering Mag abt David's rumoured gf. Her name is Joanna & more abt her here. David dun like to talk abt gf matter & as his fans, we respect his privacy & dun discuss it at all. Much better to talk abt his bikes *YES* me love bikes ^__^ & he has really great taste, yummy ones from Italy. Red is Ducati & the one below which I adore is MV Agusta. Thank you phiii for the headup *muak*

David & Walkman phone

David is spokeman for Walkman W810c which is surreal as I am abt to switch to Walkman phone too, not this model but now maybe will see if they have it ^__^ Anyway more news & pixs here
Look at the pleased expressions on the reps, haha guess its one way Sony can get their hands on our Dave *_+ Oh plse note KL concert now changed to OCT 28 gotta rush now so will post more later. Thanks starlady & phiii for yr headups, be great if you can transcript that mag phiii sounds wonderful. Mag I will answer later as dun have time now okie :P

David on the news

David on enews & he was totally adorable. I absolutely love the crazy laugh when he was talking abt the screw in his hand. He was afraid it came off when his hand hurt during the concert. Then he asked the audience to pray for his finger & raised his hand to the sky & said God save my finger, it was sooooooooooooooo cute ^__^
When they yelled for him to strip he said you don't wanna see but then he raised his tee & revealed his ABSOLUTELY TIGHT SIX PACK *faint* He really looked terrific during the concert. I laughed so much when he pretended to use his mouth to open the champagne. The clip ends with him singing Bee Gees' Staying Alive - vry enjoyable.
Also here can watch clip of his concert footage, he sounded perfect. English reviews of the concerts can be found on DT & SGFC forum. Many thanks to u guys who posted yr comments abt the concerts @ shoutbox. I have received yr pixs, Angel, thank you, but they r big so must wait while I crop & reduce them before posting. Actually there is astonishing wide range of pixs available so much so think I won't run outta pixs to post for a while. This one courtesy of SGFC, reposting here cos it showed the ingenuity of David to play a guitar duet with David Tan.

Congratulations David!

David celebrated successful conclusion of Love Can concerts in HK. Here can watch short clip of encore - David singing Bastard - & news briefing on 2nd night here but both vry slow loading.
