4 days to 77 Shanghai concert

The 123 We are all wooden men concert is starting to shape up as David revealed more abt his songlist & opening. Apparently the opening song will be 是是非非 Yes No Song from his 1st album. WOW I LOVE that song, just shivering with excitement how he is going to rearrange it. Then followed by Runaway, Close to you, Can't get you outta my mind, Regular Friends. After a series of 中国风 songs - Let's fall in love, Susan Said, Moon represents whose heart. Also Airport in 10.30, Smalltown Girl, Shanghaied, Season of Loneliness AND 十七岁 Our Love from 1st album plus 22. Seemed a lot of his chinese fans asked him to sing that song as they have nvr heard him sing it live before. The closing songs will be Too Beautiful, Love Can, I love you and Melody. His opening will be less dramatic than Love Can where he was lowered from the top. It seemed his chinese fans said that they couldn't relax when they saw him suspended in the air until he was safely on the ground ^__^ So he decided not to frightened them this time & he will entering from the ground but it will still be a surprise as the audience will be guessing from where he will appear. Although it will not appear as dramatic as Love Can, there is still an element of danger involved & his company has bought insurance for him >"< Hope it will not be too dangerous. Anyway it all sounds so exciting. For sure he will be able to put on another awesome concert *__* Btw Andy posted @ Tension blog that he will attending Shanghai concert with John.

5 days to 77 Shanghai concert

When interviewed in Shanghai over the weekend, David did not discuss much abt his recent award wins. Instead he talked mostly abt his 2 upcoming concerts. He wants to hold a chinese concert with the most re-arranged songs. During the TOP awards, media already noticed that he was singing different lyrics when performing Marry Me Today. David admitted that he wanted to give the audience a preview of what he will be singing in the concerts. He wanted to give many surprises through his rearranged songs.
So glad that he is spending more time on the song tracks then concert theme or staging. Heard that poor Rain had to cancel his LA concert @ Staples Center cos the stage could not be completed in time. It was reported that although Rain wanted to go ahead, it was impossible as only 1 song could be performed. 1 song? While I felt sorry for the poor guy, can't help thinking that as a professional entertainer, he should be able to perform under any circumstance like even a bare stage with 3-mbr band & a group of dancers. I think when David was holding his Toronto concert, he also faced the same problem @ ACC cos there was a footie game the day before & they had the stage vry late, also their equipment almost didn't turn up. But of cos David is experienced enough to be able to perform with only a guitar & still engage the audience ^__^

Some vids to enjoy: above singing with Jolin @ TOP awards, see if u can heard the different lyrics :P Below a very beautiful performance some weeks ago. Already posted pixs of them on the swing but couldn't see how spectacular it was as the swing was pulled upwards on a slide until they were suspended in the air with a projection of huge moving wings on the screen behind them so it looked as if they were flying on a winged carriage. Even the overhead camera shot was rather thrilling. Judging from this, I should think that China is more than ready for the Olympics ^__^

Montage of pixs all credit DTFC where David seemed to be rushing around the stage ... so cute ^__^ Not sure if he is walking too slowly or the stage too big. Short english writeup of the awards:

Nice pix with Jolin & A-Mei. The media seemed to like his attire & called him 白马王子 *__* Watch his interview here but vry slow loading. David was in excellent mood, kept smiling & waving to his fans. Maybe he is vry happy with the planning of his concert ^__~ Just realised his Shanghai concert will be on 7/7/7 should be lucky for him I hope.
Singing with Jolin. Actually he got 4 awards as Marry Me Today was also one of TOP gold songs.
David also took time to attend a charitable event for deaf children. He quickly learnt some sign language to communicate with them & donate some concert tickets. He welcomed them to attend his concert saying although they are deaf but they may still be able to feel & enjoy the sight of concert. He hope to be able to film a movie without sound abt them to encourage ppl to learn simple sign language to communicate with the deaf.
