David in Guiyang

He arrived in the morning dressed casually in white tee & jeans met by excited fans. He will be there for 2 days with packed schedule of concert promo. A bit surprised he has fans all over China. Not that I doubt his appeal but for someone who is not considered goodlooking, popular or cool enough, not that young anymore & has nvr appeared in an idol series or movie, its actually quite an achievement. DT did it all through his music, so proud of him.
Of cos having an extremely devoted fanclub like DTFC helps enormously ^__^ It seems customary now to include a pix of him wiping perspiration from his face but still he managed to look adorably cute.
From the good to the bad *sigh* paparazzi at it again & stalked David all the way to Macao. They secretly took pixs of him in the casino & claimed that cos he lost money 'his face turned black' *roll eyes* With nothing more juicy to report, they further claimed that since 'rumored gf not at his side' David left his friends & went back to his room early. The truth is probably David being a guest of the hotel would had received complimentary chips & who could resist having a flutter at what is claimed 'the largest casino in the world'? But knowing he has a packed week ahead of him, David went to bed early.
Not satisfied with this, they came out with another report that claimed David replied through EMI that he didn't lose but won & it was his first time gambling in a casino. All lies since David had already admitted on Peach Protein last yr that he does gamble in casino now & again but not in a big way & he usually won. Basically the intention of these news reports seem to want to insinuate in a roundabout way that David has vices like gambling & a short fuse. Honestly I find it hilarious that they wasted so much time & labor stalking him for so long & all they managed to come up with is an extremely normal profile of a man in his late thirties who enjoys the company of friends, meets up with his dad frequently, sometimes has a few drinks in a bar & knows how to gamble.
Anyway enough of my Charlotte web spinning truth *__* Onto finer things like this blog review of the Venetian Macao Hotel opening with mention of David. Nice pixs but no Dave *cry* still lucky Alan Tam singing with Diana Ross! News clip featuring a bit of David singing I Love You. A-Mei received the loudest cheers as she is probably more well-known in Macao & she looked lovely. Saving best for last is youtube vid of David singing Rain - love love love this slower, almost cabaret-style rendition just rite for such a grand, LA-styled hotel:

Venetian DT

Apparently David is so unpopular that he was invited to perform at the grand opening of the lavish Venetian Macao Resort Hotel on 8/28 & got himself mentioned in usatoday:
Rob Hart at Morgan Stanley said Macau will never become a diversified travel destination like Las Vegas. "It's going to be slow transition ... it's never going to happen to the same extent," Hart said. There are also doubts about whether Western entertainment like Cirque du Soleil will appeal to an Asian clientele. "It may be more useful to do an Andy Lau concert there than Cirque du Soleil," Gabriel Chan at Credit Suisse Hong Kong said, referring to a veteran Hong Kong actor-singer. In an apparent attempt to show its commitment to meeting Chinese entertainment tastes, Taiwanese pop stars Chang Hui-mei and David Tao performed Tuesday as part of opening festivities. It wasn't immediately clear if the Venetian plans to seek them out as permanent acts.
My Charlotte web seems to be working its magic ^__^ Anyway noticed the hotel has a 15000-seat arena if David is thinking of holding a concert in Macao. This is an incredibly lush hotel with interior canals complete with gondola. Hope he had time to look around & maybe went for a romantic ride with A-Mei. If not Tension then A-Mei will be the best guest for his TP concerts as far as I am concerned *__* davidtao.com has been updated with concert link info. David will also be having a private get together with 123 lucky VIP ticketholders on 9/2 right after his promo activities in Guiyang this weekend. Wow 3 cities in 3 countries within a week, for such an unpopular singer, he sure is busy.

Some singer

Watch DT interview @ Dong Feng & it was vry enjoyable. He wore a black sleeveless vest over b/w shirt & faded jeans - vry retro but he looked astonishingly young. So young that Tianxi looked almost like an older sister nxt to him. Still glad it was her & not the usual Patty as the latter tends to talk a bit too much & quite often abt herself. Tianxi was also not her usual acerbic self & let David off lightly re recent rumors although it could have been EMI's request. But she did get at David in the end when she fairly bristled with female indignation at David's remark that the woman he marry must bear children for him hehe I always suspected David is just that little bit male traditional chauvinist where family, marriage & career are concerned.
Andrew Chu appeared many times to chat abt David's habits & character mostly during concert time. He revealed that David would always make sure the hotel they were staying had a good gym then try & get the band mbrs to work out with him. David joked that he wanted to torture them ^__^ then said that he just wanted them to be in good physical condition for their wives or gfs. Andrew also revealed that David has a way of punishing them for making mistakes by making them drink cans of beer in the after concert celebration. Although drinking beer is a strange form of punishment, shouldn't it be not have any beer to drink? Andrew said that David always seems in control of almost everything in his concert right down to wandering among the seats to have an idea of what the audience is seeing & hearing.
David kept saying he was vry fortunate to have the chance to hold concerts in Superdome again. He said that his company is hoping to add a 3rd show & admitted that he will definitely feel the pressure for ticket sales. His TW fans refuted the 20% sales rumor saying more than 50% already sold for 10/27 without any media advertising. Anyway I suddenly remember what Charlotte the spider said to Wilbur the pig abt ppl believing things in print when she was trying to save him by spinning words in her web. Some pig. Some singer. I may not be able to save you from ppl trying to kill yr reputation but certainly I will always continue to spin the truth in my litte corner of blog web for you *__*
One thing I noticed is once again his maturity. He really has developed & come a long way in fine style. Maybe its because I haven't seen him for so long in a tv interview that I noticed the growth. Its like seeing the angst driven singer/songwriter in Black Tangerine again but older, more matured, more sophisticated, more determined. There are still unshed tears behind the keen, watchful eyes, the smile even more ingenuous & unabashedly sweet, the expression open yet guarded. He may pretend to be a hard taskmaster but somehow you know that if any of his staff went to him with a problem, he will not hesitate to help out at all cost *my hero* Anyway judge for yourself with 3 clips of the interview uploaded by DTFCer. (Vid links credit & thanks to DTFC)

Cult DT

The real DT - cute, adorable & so down to earth. This is during interview on 8/18 & his hardworking TW fans has recorded & posted it up. Great interview but much too short. As usual he impressed me with his honesty. He admitted that he felt the Love Can concerts were too elaborate which is why for Wooden Concerts he went back to simple & focus more on musical content. I respect him just for that comment. It shows that he actually care abt what his fans felt & even though the Love Can concerts were by no means failure but he is still concerned enough to make the adjustment so that he can satisfy his audience as well as his own demands. He said he is most happy with the concert lighting which he thought was able to blend well with his music & from the few clips I have seen, the lighting did look extremely impressive. It was funny when he talked abt the Shanghai concert & how he thought the rain would stop but it just got heavier & heavier. He seems to have matured a lot which sounds funny when he is vry mature to start with. He used to be a bit flaky which can be adorable but now he has this calmness & decisiveness that is vry attractive. Or maybe its just that I like a man who knows his mind & in control of his life but still retains a boyish sense of enthusiasm ^__^
As expected there is a news report which claimed that his TW concerts are only 20% sold cos fans are put off by his latest rumors. The headline said his renqi meaning popularity is 'down' spelt in english. There has been so many articles abt his falling popularity one wonders why the media is still so obsessed with him if he is so damn unpopular. Its not as if he is trying to be more popular. One hardly see or read abt him in entertainment news & he is rarely featured in magazines. Nowadays he only appears for branding activities & concert promos & even these are kept to the minimum. Even if his renqi is falling, so what? It doesn't mean he should stop holding concerts or releasing albums. It doesn't mean that he is no longer talented or that he can no longer sing like a god. Or that he is unable to put on a fantastic concert that will just blow ppl away. When will the chinese media stop equating popularity with quality? I know its no use ranting cos these kinda reports are not going away & ppl who wanna believe the worst of David will anyway. Also I have nvr wanted David to be extremely popular cos I am rather selfish & dun really wanna share him with so many others :P no not really but I just love love love him when he has that extra cult status which only certain ppl can appreciate & admire *__*

Beauty in truth

David's 9/15 concert in Guiyang has been confirmed & he will be heading there 8/31 for promo activities. He recorded a few vids already posted in his chinese forums. Sry too lazy to link them here but dun think a lot of interest anyway although he was vry cute speaking with his sexy chinese american accent *__* Just glad he has such great opportunities to successfully hold concerts in various parts of China this yr cos with the fickle chinese entertainment world its quite likely that he may not be able to in a few yrs time. He is really a vry smart man who thinks vry much ahead. I think its not a matter of him retiring from the music scene but whether it is still able to sustain a chinese musician like him who marches to his own tune. But as he said - so long as there are ppl who wanna listen to him sing, he will carry on singing *sigh* Here's youtube vid of his TW concert media event:

He looked so wonderful. As John Keats once wrote:
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'
Media may have distorted what he had said during the press conference & taken his words out of context yet again, but this is a man who will not lie. His quiet demeanour, his body language, his unyielding gaze all tell me this. Jia is right, David is too classy an act for the paparazzi ^__^

Sweetheart DT

David & Tianxi caught on camera! Maybe the paparazzi can fabricate a relationship abt them. I dun mind cos I always like Tianxi & she is single, in her thirties & looks good nxt to David ^__^ Anyway this abt David's appearing in entertainment show hosted by Tianxi where David said that his muscles are reserved for his wife or gf to enjoy *__* Looks like most of the stuff like getting angry in the plane, fighting in a nightclub already revealed in other shows but still will be just GREAT to be able to see him in action again on TV. Hope can catch it soon *fingers crossed* MISS HIM SO MUCH *sigh*
Anyway just to clarify that I think most of us are not picky abt who David goes out with so long as its TRUE. But the so-called 'Tao Lin affair' is just a pack of lies created with a few spurious pix & an extremely poison pen. Tell me would you like it if ppl believe false rumors abt you spending the night with someone whom you only met once or twice? So how do you think David feel? Anyway I think Penny's 15 mins of fame on my blog is well & truly over so I will not be mentioning her or posting pixs of her *sry Celine* Instead here's the vid link courtesy & thanks to Sophie @ 喆迷天堂 of DT msg to his fans. I love when he said 'you know who you are' when talking abt his fans. Anyway he does really rely & trust his fans not to believe the paparazzi so lets not let him down.

Believe in DT

Vry yummy he looks. He looks good in both black & white suits. He was vry much pampered in the concert launch event with an opening video that introduced him as 'King of Concert' & then later presented with a cake that had 'King of Music DT' as well as a wooden mannequin on it. Hennessy prepared a special 'Wooden Man' cocktail for him & EMI presented him with a guitar strap that had DT in crystals. Watch here & here more pixs here
He has to stop using a small tissue to wipe his face cos its so girly ^__^ but a lot of online news used this pix to say that he was nervous abt answering questions abt the rumors *roll eyes* David is known for perspiring profusely in any circumstances. Just be warned that the rumors are not going away so you have to made yr choice whether you wanna believe David or the paparazzi. Actually I do find this thing vry scary that the media is able to make so many ppl believed in a relationship that nvr really happened. There is no pix of them together, there is no real proof that Penny visited David's house 3 times. She was just photographed entering & exiting the front door of the block of apartments David lived in. She could have slept on the stairway for all we know. The only person caught on camera with David was Andrew Chu. Surprised they didn't try to insinuate that David has a gay relationship with Andrew as well *__*
However this whole ugly incident just makes me realised all over again what a nice, responsible, upright man David is. No matter what is the situation he will just try & do the right thing. He said he decided to have a gathering at his house as he could not relax outside for fear of being followed. Vry ironical then that even having a party at his own house could turn into such a media event. He also took the trouble to call Penny to APOLOGISE for the whole scandal cos he said since he is the host & it happened at his house. I also think that he revealed abt his split with Joanna not for the media but his fans & supporters. Later that night David took a plane back to the US & the paparazzi all claimed that he is trying to avoid them -- HELLO he lives in LA.
Tickets for the TW concerts range from special student concession of NT80 to VIP NT5000 which according to TW fans are sold out already. David will also be working on the promised cm song for VW Eos & apparently it will be revealed during the TW concerts. Although I dun know, it always said that he will reveal new songs during his concerts but he nvr did. Still a new DT song to look forward to is always good. TW Yahoo grps posted that his Azio interview will be shown this Sat so if u have cable, might look out for it!

The truth & nothing but

Our Dave looking vry suave during press conference to announce Taipei concerts. Only 1 small pix from Superdome website & lot of tiny ones @ Tungstar but can see he looks really good. Really like his longer hair, hope he dun cut it again. He refuted all the silly rumors & said that he is not familiar with Penny Lin & not likely to have further contact with her now or in future. Short, to the point & emphatic ^__^
Actually I really admired the way he handled this. He kinda turned the tables by simply announcing he would explain fully during this event. So the press turned up in droves, even some from HK, probably hoping to see David frothing at the mouth & denouncing the paparazzi as demons *__* But he just told the truth simply. He even reiterated that it was over with Joanna but they are good friends & she still looks after him.
Of cos one wonders why when it was so simple as David having a party one nite & inviting his friends, one of whom invited Penny who was snapped by the paparazzi, that she didn't just explain that she wasn't there for 3 nites & didn't stay the whole night. Why must it be left to David to do the explaining? Well have to understand that for some celebrities, false rumors can sometimes be their only way to get into the news. Not that I am saying that of Penny but her manager probably advised her to keep quiet & let the rumors escalated for free publicity.
Anyway some mbrs of TW fanclub managed to get into the press conference & took a vid of his msg to his fans. Basically he said that his fans are always extremely supportive whether it was rumors or when he was going through a bad patch. He said they understand he is always sincere abt his work. Then he said he loves them & thanks them for their support. Short & sweet but so touching *tear*
David also revealed that there will be a secret guest during the Taipei concerts. I only want it to be Tension but dun think so *sigh* Anyway nice vid below, link courtesy & thanks to TW Yahoo grp, of upcoming appearance in Azio entertainment show. Not sure which one but it looks like it gonna be real fun to watch!

10/26-27 - Taipei concerts

This cute pix by TW tabloid who loves to print ugly pixs of celebrities ^__^ This pix is supposed to show David being pressurised by the media in HK when asked abt recent rumors. They said he was vry nervous & sweating *roll eyes* Actually he only declined to answer, saying he will explain fully in his press conference abt TW concerts. Anyway the TW concerts now officially confirmed online on 10/26-27 sponsored by VW Eos & Hennessy Artistry. The venue is Taipei Superdome previously known as Taipei Arena & in chinese 'small dome' to make it more confusing. Tickets will go on sale from 8/14 & apparently they are rather expensive. His 9/15 Guiyang concert apparently is also confirmed. So he should be fairly busy the nxt couple of mths.
DT's dad, Tao Dawei, has also been performing in a play in Taipei & David has attended in support. Like father like son ^__^ so glad to see the 2 of them working so earnestly at their careers & for sure they gained a lot of satisfaction. It would have been perfect if the paparazzi would just leave DT alone. Hopefully it will not turn into a media circus on 8/13 *haiz*

David & Miao

It seems the next DT concert could be in Guiyang on 9/15 which is a vry interesting place to hold a concert. Guiyang has more than 30 minority ethnic groups, the most famous being Miao. Hope David has time to look around this beautiful place if he does hold a concert there. He might even meet a gorgeous Miao girl & marry her at once singing Marry Me Today with her in his concert thereby appeasing all the fans distressed over the recent alleged relationship with Penny Lin ^__^
I honestly dun know what the fuss is abt since both have already denied that they are an item. Why do they believe the paparazzi & not DT? It was claimed they met a month ago in a nightclub in TW, how can that be when David is in China holding concerts in Shanghai then Nanjing? The paparazzi followed him in June & all they got was him standing on a street & they criticised him for being fat :P In May they caught him with Eason. Up to this moment, the paparazzi still has not produced a single pix of them together & yet they can convince DT fans that Penny spent a night at his house. Scary yeah >"< Maybe they forgotten what David wrote in his diary on 9/21/05 after similar scandal abt him seeing 2 girls in one nite:
Do NOT believe everything you read
Do NOT believe everything you see
Do NOT believe everything you hear
Do NOT believe everything you are told
Do NOT believe me.
Think and judge for yourself from what you know.
不要相信你讀到的任何事情
不要相信你見到的任何事情
不要相信你聽到的任何事情
不要相信你被告知的任何事情
不要相信我
從你所了解的，為自己多一些思考與判斷吧
Anyway let hope this blow away soon. Even if it turns out to be real & I admit I definitely prefer him to marry a Miao girl :P but its his life & the experiences may come in useful when he is filming his movie. Taking abt movies read this abt Jay's Secret & surprised to find that somebody else share my feelings abt its being a Jayfest although I wonder if the ppl going to see the movie know anything abt Dorian Gray or Oscar Wilde. Also am glad somebody spoke out abt his vry obvious, bad-fitting toupee at last. Not that I wanna poke fun at him cos it must be devastating for a young man to start losing his hair but you would think with all the money he is making he can afford a more natural-looking wig fitted by professionals or maybe this is one secret he dun want revealed?

David & Agnes

Oh wow updating again but what to do - DT rocks my world ^__^ Here he again amazes me with his chameleonlike ability to look ordinary & stunning at the same time. He went to HK to appear in mini-concert for Agnes B. Must say he looked vry trendy in his black outfit!
But the best thing is he was singing english old hits in the concert! Watch here Oh my he sounds like Josh Groban *swoon* Later he was interviewed & he said once again that he will be appearing less & less in the music world as he focused more on his movies although he won't completely disappeared *sob*
(Vid link credit & thanks to Tao Mi Tian Tan)

David & Bach

(All pixs credit & thanks to DTFC)
Some gorgeous pixs to make up for the unpleasantness of the TW paparazzi & fanatics ^__^ Its strange that this time quite a lot of fans seem to believe the rumors & even said it affected their listening to his music. My poor DT judged guilty even before he has a chance to clear himself. Actually I do not believe it all. There is no pix of them together, all we see is Penny at the door of DT's house. My gut feeling is that its a setup. Anyway believe what you like & if this is going to affect listening to DT music, then listen to others till this thing blows away :P
Anyway I am finding that I becoming more & more introspective abt David. I rarely listen to any other Asian singers anymore. Not that they are bad but they just dun attract me anymore. David, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart in that order. David first because well he is chinese & his music gives me a sense of belonging. I am not really interested in his personal affairs or how many instruments he can play for that matter. I am just happy that I am able to appreciate him & his music. Hope he is not too affected by the paparazzi & that his house moving went smoothly ^__^

Sexy no more

Even though this pix is taken without his permission but can't resist cos I am in love with his back view at the moment ^__^ Anyway the recent DT rumor seems to be getting bigger & bigger *sigh* David has already explained that cos he is moving house, there are many ppl in his house till late. Penny Lin is a friend of his friend who is helping out & she only came to see him. But still rumors keep coming with Penny's ex-bf even claiming that he knew abt the relationship earlier *sigh* But good news is David will be having a press conference on 8/13 abt his upcoming TW concerts *yeah yeah* & he will personally address this rumor. Just make me wonder why there are always adverse rumors when he is releasing new album or having concert so that he usually has to use his press conference to address them. Later the media will then claim he is using the rumors to create news. If that is the case how come he has no rumors when he is holding concerts in China, HK, Malaysia & Singapore? But then ppl will believe what they wanna believe & they can be extremely selective in their interpretation. For instance I wasn't getting at Leehom when I mentioned the 'zillion musical instruments' in post below. Just that I remembered when DT was asked during Nanjing concert why he didn't play many instruments, he said he was most comfortable playing the guitar & there was no need for him to play other instruments. In case you don't know, David can play many musical instruments as well *__* So nobody thinks David is sexy *sad* ^__^

Do ya think DT is sexy?

Apparently David got himself into the tabloids again in TW linking him with Taiwanese actress Penny Lin. Who cares honestly? He is 38 & single. We should be happy that he was seen with a female having fun. It proves that he is normal albeit with enviable sexual prowess if the no of ladies he has been linked with is anywhere near the truth ^__^ errr ... not really ... shouldn't have naughty thoughts abt our DT but he really is a vry sexy, sensual man *swoon*

(Vid link courtesy & thanks to DTFC)
Vry nice news clip abt Hennessy Artistry news conference where David could not resist showing off his vocal prowess during a much too short impromptu jam session with Grand Avenue & Justin *melt* No need to play a zillion musical instruments to display his talents, his voice alone will do *__*

Filming DT

During Hennessy Artistry in Guangzhou, David was the last performer & he appeared simply on stage with a guitar singing Rain. Songlist included newly arranged Moon over my heart, Susan Said, Regular Friends, Can't get you outta my head & Marry me today with Kewei. For his finale he invited Justin Lo onstage to sing I Love You.
Here's news clip of the Guangzhou show where he looked & sounded marvellous. Below short english writeup @ CRIENGLISH
Singer David Tao aims at filmmaking
www.chinaview.cn 2007-08-07 10:55:40
BEIJING, Aug. 7 -- Taiwan R&B guru David Tao has long been planning a professional directorial debut.
David Tao, whose father used to work as an animator for Walt Disney, says he has educational background in filmmaking, and he will be producing professional work rather than the amateur type.
The singer says he has been working intensely on screenplay writing. He hopes to start filming for his directorial debut later this year, despite all the activities lined up for promoting his last album titled "Beautiful."
The singer, known for having popularized R&B in the Mandopop industry, says that music will only be a small part of his career in the future while dedicating most of his time to filmmaking.
David Tao tells the media that he is yet to check out fellow musician Jay Chou's first directorial work titled "Secret," which has been a box office front-runner since hitting the big-screen last month.
(Source: CRIENGLISH.com)
The media made so much of the fact that he said he studied filmmaking as if he is trying to say he is more professional than Jay *sigh* In fact long before Jay released his movie & whenever he was asked abt movies, David has always mentioned that he studied movies because it is his first love. Also they kept saying he is saying 'farewell' with his concerts >"< He is just taking a break from music although he probably have to come up with his 3rd studio album for EMI next yr. Anyway if the chinese media enjoys misquoting him & making Jay comparision with David coming up short, nothing much we can do abt it. Time will tell & just put our trust in DT. He is still one of the few first in chinese music to release a music documentary. To tell the truth, when I first watch Ultrasound Labor Room 11, I thought it was rather boring & not well-done. It was only later when I watch it again then I realised what I was missing -- watch & listen with yr heart not just yr eyes & ears. He has taught me so much abt looking past the face value of things. It might take a while & maybe not many ppl can appreciate the power & significance of his music but when someone does, its just so beautiful:
I am a new listener to your songs. Thks for your songs: "too beautiful" album in my most difficult time and in the meawhile I was and am learning to be alone with GOD. Your songs help me go through a lot, thanks. I was REALLY stuggling the timming from god in terms of career aspect/personal promise last two week.
Then, your package new to me printed on "HE HAS MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME. HE HAS ALSO SET ETERNIY IN THE HEARTS OF MEN: YET THEY CANNOT FATHOM WHAT GOD HAS DONE FROM BEGINNING TO END."
Then an mind idea said (which i never ever hear any song inside the album), told me to listen to no3. So, it talks about no one could know the future/ timming, only you.
Then the next day, I have a design school interview form overseas, and get accepted once a while, I still want to give up in the industy I am working, but always at the right timming hear your sond "too beautiful". Don't give up, as it is too beautiful.
Thks, music do really have a great power and influence to the world. "bei sum gei, may your music will be continue spead through the whole asia about the encourangment of love. God bless."
LN
Thanks LN for posting this msg to David @ blog forum. Hope all goes well with you. The DT Appreciation Club may be small & increasing slowly but our dedication is strong & steadfast. Jia you my marvellous DT, dun worry abt what the media write abt you. We will just dedicate yr song Sula & Lampa to them *__*

DT Quangzhou interview

David interview during Hennessy Artistry. A good interview where he shows his maturity, sophistication, knowledge as well as his desire to contribute to the Chinese film industry. A pity that even with such intelligent, well thought-out responses, he still get deliberately misquoted in various online articles with headlines claiming that he said that he will be better than Jay in shooting a movie *sigh* Just hate it that they only kept asking questions abt his movie not cos they are interested but so they could get a quote abt Jay from him so it could be twisted around. It kinda sad how these chinese reporters dun understand that they are just shooting themselves in the foot with their lies. Like the 'cardboard bun' fiasco which just add further injury to China's tainted export food industry.
I don't know if DT can wake up the chinese movie world the way he did the music world with his first self-titled album, but as he said that doesn't mean he cannot try. I just melt at his sincerity *__* & don't worry for sure I & many of yr fans will try to accompany you every step of the way.

Latest pixs

Some pixs of 8/3 press conference. Its nice to see him again ^__^ Not much news abt the performance but hope it all went well. Media kept asking him abt his movie but he didn't reveal much just say he hope to start shooting nxt yr & it will be a musical. Of cos they asked him abt Jay's Secret which is secret no more since quite a few reviews already revealed the whole plot, but he said he hasn't seen it yet. Guess this is abt all I get to see of him *sigh*

DT in Quangzhou

David should be in Quangzhou getting ready to perform tonite for Hennessy Artistry. As for his next concert, not really sure as no confirmation as yet. Really low profile this time, keeping to his word that he is winding up so he can concentrate on his filmmaking. There is no merchandising not even the poster on sale. Although miss him alot but respect his determination to walk down this untrodden path of little exposure for a chinese singer.
Grand Avenue, the Danish band who will also be performing tonite, said during their interview that they have listened to their fellow EMI artists in China & said they have good musical feel esp David whose music they felt was vry similar to the West, his style is vry international as well as his standards & met the audience demands for beautiful music. Maybe you might think that they are just being polite but in my experience, most Europeans rarely praise unless they meant it. Grand Avenue has often been compared to Coldplay, anyway here's a youtube vid of 1 of their hits, The Outsider:

More proof that David's music is truly international with blog translation of So Beautiful in Spanish ^__^ This song is truly beautiful in both melody & lyrics. A pity it was so overexposed although for a good cause, International Woman Day, before release of Tai Mei Li that it nvr got released properly as a single.
