David gives great hair :P

Walkman promos featuring David now available in China! Pix credit & much thanks to DTFC as ever. Taotally love his look esp his hair ... LOVE HIS HAIR ^__^ so gorgeous. They said @ DTFC that they already saw 1 signboard with his image. Hope nobody steal it :D
To anon in Comments: At the moment, dun seem to be any media for David's performance in Suzhou probably cos it was raining vry heavily that night. Also there had been no confirmation that David would attend. One fan wrote @ DT forum that she used up her tape filming Leehom & other performers not knowing that David would appear at the end. David was apparently vry caring to his fans running all over the stage despite the rain so everybody could see him. 2 fans, male & female, went on stage to give him flowers. The male fan requested for a hug & after hugging him, David said since he hugged the guy he must also hug the girl *_* Also he impressed his listeners & the media with his crystal-clear delivery.
To Angel: I believe Malau is in Taipei not LA.
To Jessie B: Quite like Tank but after a while I find that Gary Cao was a more soothing singer. Tank tends to overpitch a bit & he does sound a bit like David but not that much. Gary's voice is smooth like chocolate, more mature than Tank. Also I feel he puts more emotion into his singing. But no doubt they are 2 of the best Mandarin male singers in the forseeable future.
Just wanna put my last 2 cents towards the asinine debate regarding GMA nominations. First, its just asshole behavior & total disrespect towards the artists who have been nominated. Nobody (apart from David) ever questioned the credibility of GMA in the past, why is this year any different? Its not cos double J did not get any nominations but TW record labels getting shitty. They have been hyping their idol singers so much they felt they own the music industry. They probably forgotten, or try to, that in total the Chinese music industry from TW to HK to China is not even worth half as much as Japan's. Their singers earned more from commercials than releasing albums. So they think popularity & sales should be taken into account? Madonna, probably the most popular & bestselling artist in US, only won a total of 5 Grammies, 2 for videos & none for best singer. Yet nobody ever whined that 'Madonna waz robbed'. SO GET OVER IT ALREADY. Have a bit of class but I think that's asking too much >"<
So to end on a high note, here's a recent vid of David singing Ghost @ HK concert. Just can't get over how he can get the song to sound exactly like the CD. It's not that easy to get a rock song to sound the same live. He is possibly the most amazing musician ever born in the Far East.

I totally agree with you. I think it's just some FANS don't realize that their IDOL isn't the best in the world. Jay is good and all but PUH-LEASE don't treat him like he's the king of the world. He has plenty of flaws and some fans are so blinded by their fandom that they don't realize in reality Jay's music is getting less unique, he is playing it safer, and basically he's lost his "special touch"

David deserved the nominations and by boycotting the show they are showing disrespect. Anyway that sucks that there isn't a video. Darn.

I agree, Tank sounds shrill at times. I realy like GAry Cao. Tank has a good voice but it annoys me sometimes, just like how sometimes JJ Lin's kiddish voice annoys me.
