这场”圣所”巡回演唱会，的确是个”盛举”。出道15年的 JJ 林俊杰， 虽然之前在家乡办过3场演唱会， 但到了2018年的”圣所”巡演, 才能说是真正体会到被国人接受和爱戴的滋味。

开场时的那片紫色荧光海已经迫不及待地开始鼓噪。眼见JJ从舞台高空倒吊旋转着, 唱起了他著名的一首”一千年以后”。JJ 就像是个等待机会，努力挣开束缚，破茧而出后的蝴蝶，展翅高飞。除了要忍受倒吊时脑冲血的辛苦，要在晕眩的状况下, 克服种种障碍，好好的运气唱一首歌, 谈何易事?

更大的意义在于，林俊杰想告诉大家的是: 他已破茧而出，凯旋归来。

他不需要等到一千年以后，才初尝当红不让的滋味。

曾经是个怀抱着梦想的新加坡男孩, 如今已蜕变成家喻户晓，出色的歌手。能冲出这小岛，还扬名海外的歌手，的确屈指可数。能突破重围，凯旋归来，和天王级媲美，的确令人感到自豪。

如今，他享有着”行走的 CD” 的美誉。

You can’t deny that our homegrown JJ Lin, has stirred up a local phenomenon.

到目前为止，能够接近张学友在室内体育场办5场演唱会的只有他吧? 周杰伦和五月天也曾在这儿开过3晚, 但都移到能容纳4万人的国家体育场。他如今已可以和他们媲美，旗鼓相当。

介因一票难求，加上前几晚观赏过演唱会的观众都好评如潮，我也开始对这场演唱抱着些许期许。要办好一场成功的演唱会，都需要很强的制作团队。

虽然到了第四晚, 明显地听出 JJ 的声音有些疲态和开场时有点小沙哑，但大致上他还是保持了很棒的水准，依旧让人听出耳油。

“圣所”这首歌曲，虽然有点宗教寓意在歌词里，但这首歌想表达的就是大家都可以到一个更能传达爱和正能量的地方，心灵上能得以更大的释放。

我们都知道 JJ 很有才华，也很努力，但一批”千里马”也需要得到”伯乐”的赏识， 才得以发挥才能。

这次爆红的程度，把知名度再大大地提升的关键在于有了一个很好的发挥平台 – “中国好声音”，让更多人认识这把新加坡引以为傲的声音。

除了拥有才华，秉持着坚持和信念，机遇是很重要的。

无可厚非，他是红回来的。

在看过3场林俊杰的演唱会当中，这场算是规模最大的一次。预算，硬体，视觉效果，管弦乐, 合声 (有 JJ 多年的好友,洪俊扬)，国际拼盘的乐队，加上西洋音乐教父， David Foster，来担任”圣所”世界巡回演唱会的音乐总监 – 这绝对是音乐飨宴。

虽然演唱会有”故事”串场, 舞蹈员刻画出首首动人情歌的意境，舞台LED荧幕也像”变形金钢”般变化着, JJ 也换了6套服装。但我想大家最期待的是他边弹奏，边演唱自己的经典歌曲。

JJ 其实很懂得掳获普罗大众的口味。

4场下来的几大亮点:

第一晚: 只有新加坡人明白和极有共鸣的”Kallang Wave”, 还有他可以很放心说”Singlish”的时候。

第二晚: JJ也为多年的好友 – Junyang 唱了一首生日快乐歌曲。

第三晚: 能现场听到”爱笑的眼睛”，”输了你赢了世界又如何” – 就是所谓”赚到”。

第四晚: 可能前3晚都有着自己 Special 的环节，第4晚就感觉上没特别大的不同。但能听到一首限定的”醉赤壁”，也算不错啦。

对于创作歌手来说，弹奏乐器就是他们最佳的武器，也是最适合耍帅，掳获观众芳心的时刻。一连串的林氏抒情组曲攻势，令人难以招架。

有一小段的”会有那么一天”，我很爱的”背对背拥抱”，”她说”，”记得”，”修炼爱情”，”Saranghaeyo 只对你说”，”醉赤壁”。

在演唱”Saranghaeyo 只对你说”之后，台下的歌迷频频喊着”我爱你”, Oppa”!!

他笑道, 这感觉上是偶像歌手才会遇到的状况，而且都是长得帅气的。

顿时就说，偶像歌手是靠”颜值”吃饭的。

JJ 其实是很会卖口乖和 Cheeky 的一位大男孩，加上拥有音乐才华，很难不会让女生怦然心动吧?

所以，拥有个人魅力才是王道。

在这个环节里，我很喜欢他只唱了半首复歌的”醉赤壁”，让人听得如痴如醉。方文山的歌词搭配中国风的旋律和JJ 那极其优美的高音，很柔和，就像一阵微风掠过。 凄美动人，且令人久久无法忘怀。

This is probably the next best thing to watching NDP. In case you missed, it, there were fans waving our national flag!

A moment of pride and glory.

身为歌手，最开心的莫过于大家都会在演唱会上高唱自己的歌。对于可以在自己的国家听到同胞们唱着自己的作品，应该是无比的自豪和感动。

但大合唱是最温暖人心的。还有那男女观众+ JJ 合唱版的”小酒窝”。

JJ说他新加坡的男粉多不多，想听听他们的声音。结果整个场子就回响着低沉的欢呼声。那回响顿时让大众都哈哈大笑。 JJ 也不时暗笑。

女生们的呐喊分贝当然是比较高的，高到连 JJ都求饶。

演唱会是会有好几段 JJ 把 Mic 递向观众席时的画面，但观众首首歌曲都能接得上。
不管是经典K歌, 比较冷门或新的歌曲，观众都能大声合唱。 可见他们不是来串门子的。

最印象深刻的是在演唱”可惜没如果”时那超大声的大合唱，而且JJ就闭上眼, 张开双臂，身体跟着蠕动着。那就是种爽翻和自我陶醉，超级享受，沉浸在全场大合唱的氛围中的表情。

当 JJ 一一念出歌迷们灯牌上写他们来自世界各地的名称时, 会令人会心一笑的是，你会看到”Serangoon, Punggol, Jurong” 等地区。

JJ其实出道已经15年，但为何林俊杰开前3场演唱会时，并没有达到如今4晚一票难求的盛举呢?

Thanks to the power of social media, with viral videos of him performing on “中国好声音”, belting to hits after hits, with his music re-arrangements and musical talent + vocals, camaraderie with his counterparts, it helps people to know more about him in just a few minutes.

就算是像JJ那么温文尔雅的抒情歌手，骨子里也是住着摇滚灵魂。能听到摇滚版的”不潮不用花钱”和”因你而在”，也让大家很想跟着站起来摇摆。

JJ称他的乐队为本地美食”Rojak”，因为不难发现他的团队里有好几位西洋乐手和吉它手这也充分地显像了新加坡人能够和不同国家和种族的人们一起合作的 versatility。

西洋音乐教父 David Foster 除了担任演唱会的音乐总监，也担任这场演唱会的特别嘉宾。

虽然无法听见 JJ 演唱 Celine Dion 的经典名曲”All By Myself”, 但能听见他演唱 All-4-One的 “I swear”，也是喜出望外。

在演唱会的尾声，
JJ坦言到有好几年失去了方向。幸好有音乐，只要一弹这首歌的旋律，就会找到心中的平静。音乐就是他的爱和生命。

JJ希望大家都能找到心里和梦想里的”圣所” – 一个能为大家带来正能量的地方。

我们都会有跌入谷底的时候，也会在人生的道路上遇到许多难题，但只要大家的心里都有一份和大家分享鼓励和正能量的爱，这世界就会变得更美好。

在演唱最后两手首歌曲”伟大的渺小”和”不为谁而作的歌”时，室内体育场就亮起了几千闪耀的星星，为这在新加坡的最后一场演出划下了完美的句点。

他的成功故事，无疑会对许多怀抱着梦想的年轻人取得很大的鼓舞。

He’s a more confident and seasoned singer-songwriter now, who’s ready to take on bigger challenges, in leaving footprints around the world.

All the best to you conquering the world and fellow Singaporeans, Please continue to show your unwavering support to our homegrown singers!Read More →

Mission Impossible 6: Fallout, is undeniably the “Best of the Franchise” (they say), and Tom cruises on steadily. This is a total blown away, much more than a visual treat.

It’s so insanely heart palpitating, eyes popping & jaw drooping exciting that leaves you no chance for boredom throughout the intensely packed 2 hour 28 min movie, weaving through land, water and air with out-of-this-world action scenes.

Christopher McQuarrie & Tom Cruise lapped the MI series yet to another, higher level. The intensity built up scene after scene, left you gasping for more, yet it left you wondering if they could even take it further than the previous intense scene.

The scenes seemed so outrageously REAL that I had no doubt there were NO stunt doubles.

All death defying stunts were performed by the actors, especially Tom Cruise whom we have no doubt is a perfectionist, but he’s got this perfectionist streak with a suicidal instinct.

From doing a HALO jump from the plane 100 times just to perfect that scene, breaking his ankle while he was trying to jump across the building, the motorcycle chase scenes in Paris and London where he was weaving through the narrow streets, the helicopter chase scene and mountain scaling scenes in Kashmir, Cruise shows that he’s giving all that he’s got, not even holding back 1%.

You can’t help but to applaud his professionalism, perfectionism plus pure insanity as an actor, entertainer and stuntman.

Best known for his roles in “Top Gun”, “Interview with the Vampire” and definitely his role as Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible series, Tom Cruise has re-written the word “Impossible” to POSSIBLE. He would go to great lengths to bring such remarkable cinematic experience for the movie goers.

Bounds of possibilities and surprises await the audience, as they are in for a sumptuous movie treat. It’s been 2 decades since the 56-year old Tom Cruise took on the role of IMF Agent, Ethan Hunt, but it seems, he’s not gonna slow it down anytime soon.

Just how can anyone be still so alluringly charismatic at the age of 56?

Not many people in their 20s or 30s may be able to hold out such physical exhaustion, let alone someone in his mid 50s. His mental strength and perseverance is something we need to look up to.

Most would think that MI6 should act as the finale for Tom Cruise’s journey as Ethan Hunt after a long 22 years. For one, we couldn’t imagine how else they can break through the high standards set by MI6. BUT I’m sure we are all hoping that he will return with something bigger and better than this.

Because we can tell, he has no intention to call it quits yet.

And truly, only he could make all this possible.

Without such insane dedication and pride in his work, topped up with that perfectionist streak of suicidal instinct, he couldn’t have made such a great action movie.

I especially loved the helicopter chase scenes through the fluffy clouds & snowy mountains in Norway. It was absolutely breathtaking.

There was time for us to marvel at the awesome treats that Mother Nature brings us while keeping glued to our seats.

The hanging-by-a-thread mountain scaling attempts would probably leave your palms in cold sweat as you watched Ethan Hunt and August Walker fight it out.

It might be cliché, but all ladies love “bad boys”, to a certain extent. What greater pleasure is it than Henry Cavill, who’s better known as Superman, the Man of Steel as the villain in MI6. He holds such a big role that MI6 would be less interesting if he wasn’t cast. He adds so much spice, excitement and visual pleasure to the movie.

Be it fighting alongside Ethan Hunt in the “toilet fight” scene, the motorcycle chase scenes or fighting against Ethan Hunt in the “Helicopter” chase scene, August Walker captured much attention as the antagonist, who wanted to blow up the world with Lane.

Rebecca Ferguson, who reprises her role as the kick-ass, Ilsa Faust, does bring a more refreshing mood to the male-dominated movie. She’s a female lead who’s capable of not just saving her own ass, but also more than capable to save Ethan Hunt from harm.

There’s still a pretty much mysterious aura about her, where you would wonder if she was a friend or a foe in reality.

Vanessa Kirby’s role as the White Widow was alluring, with some slick action scenes and that “Poison Ivy” appeal, but she didn’t get to showcase much with limited screen time.

Compassion for his friends is his biggest weakness but while Ethan risks his life to save millions, he never loses sight of any individual/ team mates.
And only such a personality would be able to save mankind.

While most action movies would leave very little time for emotional scenes or love lines, we do get quite a bit of earnest acting from Tom.

The emotional trauma and turmoil he still has to go through after so many years of fighting and killing is illustrated so aptly; whereby he wakes from his nightmares with the complicated mix of fear, trauma, anxiety, guilt, remorse and feelings of loss, written so explicitly over his face.

The one woman who is always on his mind is his ex-wife, Julia Meade.

He was able to set himself free because of what Julia said. “I’m here where I should be, and so are you”.

It’s a realization that she is happy at where she should be, the same goes for Ethan.

You would definitely walk out of the cinema gushing over the adrenaline contentment and looking forward to the next sequel.

No one else can portray the role of Ethan Hunt better than Tom Cruise.

There’s a reason why he’s still one of the most popular actors in Hollywood.

We are already looking forward to MI7.Read More →

时隔10年,陶喆终于回到新加坡开唱。这么多年没来，他决定加码，把原定1.5小时的演出，延长至2小时。

“零距离”的概念就是要以音乐会歌友, 拉近彼此在音乐和心灵交流上的距离。

10年不见的陶喆，在台上依旧侃侃而谈，分享他的创作灵感，时不时开些本土笑话，展现他的诚意”入乡随俗”，和用心。他的”Singlish”和”Singapore Slang”,可说是已经将近90% localised 的程度。

当晚的歌单有许多陶氏经典情歌如, Runaway, 小镇姑娘， 王八蛋，苏三说，月亮代表谁的心，普通朋友，飞机场的1030， 黑色星期二，黑色柳丁，望春风，My Anata, 我们的故事，Ladies，讨厌红楼梦，今天没回家，Mars Baby, 今天你要嫁给我，爱我还是他，流沙，天天，就是愛你， 找自己， 爱很简单。

陶喆绝对抓准了 “Live Band” 演唱的精髓。

像他这样会创作和弹吉它的歌手兼音乐人，最适合做 Electrifying 的 Live 演出! 拿着一把电吉它在台上和乐队 jamming 的他很享受表演，而在台下的我们也很 enjoy 他们所带来的即兴~

他在演唱会上带来的几首High歌也让观众们一起跟着节奏摇摆。”My Anata”是他少数很活泼，俏皮的歌曲。现场的强劲节奏，附加的东洋唱腔也增添了不少谐意。这何尝不是拉近和观众之间距离的一首佳曲呢?

抒情歌曲虽然能让人听得如痴如醉，但要这类的 HIGH 歌才能让新加坡观众活动一下筋骨和放松紧绷的情绪。

尤其是在唱”望春风”时, 简直就是很有本地”歌台”的味道 + 一点 Singaporean Hokkien Uncle 的韵味! 这是即搞笑，又温馨且难忘的一幕。 见陶喆那么逗趣和放得开的演出, 还真的有股说不出的感动啊。

David Tao is a serious musician, but he’s definitely someone who knows how to bask in the moment, sharing love and laughter to all.

陶喆的抒情歌曲总能唤起你我N年前对于爱情故事的记忆。每个人心里都会有一首属于自己的情歌，而在他的作品里, 哪一首又是最令你有所共鸣的呢?

“找自己”是一首不管隔了多少年, 都能激励那心中不肯放弃，依旧热血的自己。 强劲的节奏，温暖阳光的旋律，和激励人心的歌词，是多么妙的一首创作。

为了真正切切拉近和本地观众之间的距离，”R&B教父”还亲自下台和歌迷作些近距离的互动。他笑称突然觉得自己仿佛到了Night Safari, 被游客包围照相，还被许多人”摸”了一把。搞得他受惊吓，扬言不会再下台了!

一位超级热情的男粉丝把他抱得太用力，结果麦克风撞到了门牙。如果差点把牙齿撞坏的话, 唱歌就会变”漏风”了。他嬉笑说, 要和这位粉丝索取”dental fee”看牙医。

如果陶喆要移居狮城,，应该不难适应这里的习俗。一举手，一投足都像个本地人。

到”安可”环节时, 陶喆打趣到:”刚才听见你们喊 “Encore”, 顿时以为听错在喊”Uncle, Uncle!”

看来陶喆除了歌唱，音乐创作才华外, 也兼具当 Talk Show Host 的潜力。

到场的观众不难发现陶喆有颗提拔新加坡表演者的心。他除了爱音乐，也帮助同样热爱音乐但需要更大的平台发挥所长的年轻人。

暖场嘉宾是本地人声团体”Micappella”。他们用美妙的歌声串成了大家喜爱的”那些年的小幸运”，也带来了自创歌曲”不怕击败”。

到了中场部分，陶喆邀请 Micappella 和他一同演唱 Acapella 版的 “我们的故事”。除了令人想起当年陶喆苦心提拔的”Tension”, 这画面也显现了陶喆一直对R&B音乐 的钟爱。

第一届”绝对 Super Star”的亚军，洪俊扬, 除了是陶喆的好友，也担当演唱会”合音天使”，和陶喆在音乐方面有些合作。

当晚，90%的观众在等待的, 就是”爱很简单”这首经典歌曲吧?

一提到陶喆的名字，这应该会是大伙儿第一时间联想到的歌曲。

观众也把最后的热情化为跟着陶喆大声合唱的力量。

虽然这几年他的负面新闻损坏了他的形象，但能看见到场支持他的家人和朋友们对他的不离不弃，是种欣慰，也是努力向前的原动力和洗心革面的一个机会。

回归音乐的出发地, 和观众用最原始的现场表演方式接触，让人感觉到, 只要用心做音乐和大家分享这份喜悦，是可以再给他个从新来过的机会。

给他一个机会重”心”出发，回归他最热衷的音乐。

你会发现，这是他一生的挚爱。

这是一场他用很 raw, 很直接, 温馨且开心交流的方式，来回味自己在歌坛的20年的演唱会。

希望下一场演唱会，不会让我们再等个10年。

It was a lovely journey down memory lane with the vocal powerhouse and his greatest hits.

期待陶喆能够再次创作出首首扣人心弦的经典名曲。Read More →

If you were a 80s or 90s kid, your favourite dinosaur movie has got to be JURASSIC PARK. The one very distinctive scene that you would remember vividly, would be the one where you watch how that vibrating cup of water in the car instilled fear in the main characters, when the T-Rex was seeking them out.

We have never forgotten how Jurassic Park used to thrill us. Decades passed and we had the Jurassic World back in 2015.

It’s good to see Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallads Howard reprising their roles in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. I was hoping to see a little more on their love line since they parted ways where Jurassic World ended. However, there wasn’t really much development.

They would brave dangers together once again in this seemingly “darker” theme “Fallen Kingdom”.

It was akin to a Kingdom, or a very majestic zoo/safari, back in the 1st part of this trilogy. Now, all we see are ruins and chaos as all the surviving dinosaurs fending for themselves on a deserted island.

This sequel is a little “darker” not just in its literal terms that the dinosaurs were jailed in dungeons, how the park looks like after being abandoned and how the dinosaurs had to die or to be sold before the volcano erupt, but also how it made you feel.

Most importantly, it’s about the co-existence between human beings and dinosaurs.

Humans seem to be the “monsters” as compared to these once-extinct creatures, with their evil agendas.

– Was it the fault of these natural predators that such irreversible impact was caused?
– Or the mankind who tried to revive them, by cloning them and genetically altering them?
– Now that they have caused harm to mankind, should we leave them to die or have them protected in a sanctuary?
– Is there a way to co-exist or the best way is for human beings to just leave them alone?
– Who are the real “monsters”?

These are some questions that the director, script writers might wish you would ponder about.

It’s sad to see these magnificent and majestic creatures that roam the earth way before mankind, to be locked up in cages, shackled, wounded, removed of their teeth, etc, just like endangered animals that poachers hunt down.

Nonetheless, the attempt to move things out of the theme park and now you see dinosaurs ramping in the dungeons and corridors of Lockwood’s castle-like home, is a daring move and good effort, though the attempt had somewhat caused a little downside for this movie.

You can’t but help applaud Bayona for instilling the fear factor and super intense moments of suspense and horror at the same time. You probably would recall the breath-taking moments when Indoraptor was tapping its claw, which seeking out the hiding of its victims.

The more heart-warming treat of this deal is, the special bond between Owen and “Blue”. Blue is a velociraptor which would tear her prey up, except that she recognises Owen, her trainer and would save him in times of danger and protect him.

It reminds us of the bonding that most pet owners would have with their pets. They would turn ferocious to protect their masters but would be like a little “kid” when they wanted to seek some affection. If a cold-dinosaur could be more empathetic and feeling than human beings, what does it make us out to be?

Even in the world of dinosaurs, there is segregation by “classes” – those that are worth more would be saved, while the rest would be left to die on their own.
Isn’t it so apt to this term that we always hear about “Survival of the Fittest”?

This pretty much resonates with how animal poachers kill or sell endangered animals for their body parts that are consistently in pretty high demand in a “black market”.

Here, we are talking about “ Dinosaurs Trafficking”. You would be an instant millionaire, if not, Billionaire.

Was it out of human greed, monetary gains, fame, or the fact that mankind wishes to revive a group of creatures that existed long before our time?

The world of dinosaurs may just be far-fetched fantasy, but what the director and scriptwriters are trying to send across to us, is way more in-depth.

Are audience prepared to be set thinking about the deeper implications that such acts would ensue, or are they more likely to engage in a visually enjoyable and intense “dinosaur” chasing movie?

This 2nd part of the trilogy, already sets its pave to what might come in the 3rd franchise.

There was much direction thrown towards the moral implications of genetic cloning.

It sets you thinking, though mankind is responsible for cloning them, does it give you a right to take away their lives?

It seems that the fools of this movie, is still mankind afterall.

Human beings are intelligent enough to bring these extinct dinosaurs back to life, harness their potential due to their greed, yet is still nothing but a helpless prey when left face to face with the dinosaurs.

While there are several issues that may set you thinking, the generic fear factor that we have for these majestic creatures are still instilled with us, in all the very intense, terrifying and seat-gripping, heart-pounding scenes, something just seems to be lacking in a manner.

Perhaps, we can have lesser of the sinister “agenda” behind all these genetic engineering, but to have a more functional way that we all enjoy of the “Jurassic Park” instalments that we used to love.

It’s good to move with the times, and also try to take a twist away from the functional state of such movies, but it probably needs to consider more about how to keep the audience leaving the cinema, with some very iconic or heartfelt scenes, that we would remember, for a longer time.

If you always have been a Jurassic series fan, yes of course, you should watch this. If you aren’t but are gamed for some excitement, it is still thrilling in its ways, just don’t keep up too many hopes on it bringing you many out of the extra-ordinary moments.Read More →

最炽热的盛夏，最温柔暖心的疼爱。
激昂高涨的情绪，热血，感动，自豪混为一谈的夜晚。
就像一阵微风掠过你我心房，是那么的逾悦舒畅，至今仍泛起阵阵涟漪，余波荡漾。

有一种精神叫”憨人”，
有一股强大的念力统称”顽固”和”倔强”，
有一群像家人会力挺你到底的简称”兄弟”,
有一种踏实叫”一步一脚印”，
有一种坚持叫做”五月天”,
有一股强大魔法化作”蓝色荧光海”。

有一组乐团和他们的乐迷号称”神经病”，竟然可以重复看一模一样的演唱会好几遍，还能自我感觉良好地夸这怪异行为为”有品味”。

这群浮夸又自我感觉超良好的，究竟是何妨神圣?

记住了，这群”有品味的神经病”就叫做五月天和五迷们。

距离上一次五月天来新加坡开唱才不过6个月，此行带来的是同概念的第89场”人生无限公司无限放大版”。”无限放大版”里最 impressive 的就是能把舞台搭设, 硬体，灯光，图像，等视觉效果与音乐融合一体，完美地衬托出歌词想表达的意境,为这盛夏勾勒出这最美的诗篇。

老板们对”人生无限新加坡分公司”的2018 年中报告和现场表现非常之满意，还给了新加坡员工们一些特别的”福利”，例如颁发”最佳歌迷奖”和那句等了21年的”我爱你们”。

“新加坡无限放大版” “只限定一晚，大伙儿都毫无保留的疯狂投入，用尽吃奶的力气，和生命在呐喊，欢呼，挥舞着荧光棒, 随着音乐摇摆。

又是个汗水，泪水交集, 回忆涌现，狂欢狂热的夜晚。这或许是大家所谓的摇滚，热血和活在当下的证明,真正”活着”的滋味。

舞台两旁的荧幕上那20柱尖尖的灯塔, 象征他们辉煌但沿途铺满荆棘的20年, 甄拔许多城市后，克服障碍的足迹和勇气。这座城堡是靠长年累积的血汗，才得以盖成。

五月天这21年走来，唱的不只是青春，热血和梦想，而是能够钻进你我心里，长期驻入的共鸣，能量和回忆。他们的版图已扩大到世界各地，但歌迷的热情依然未减。

首首不朽经典都都是你我生命里某个时光的重要连接点,承载着你我人生的珍贵回忆, 化为精神粮食。不管隔了多久听他们的歌曲，都能有所慰寄，鼓励和共鸣。他们的歌曲能让我们拾回被现实摧残，渐渐遗忘内心那最深处沉睡的自己。

17年里第一次听他们肉麻的说”我爱你们”。

从没想过他们会爆出这4个字,看他们害羞腼腆的模样绝对逗趣。
那绝对是爱, 是一种疼爱。

因为新加坡观众较被动，所以他们在那么大的场馆感受满溢的热情, 觉得这是一项盛举吧?

They are (ah beng) dreamers who walk their talk, so down-to-earth that you can’t associate them with being unrealistic.

在影片里，他们拯救了世界，而在现实生活中，这群”不怕死”的老男孩成功的解除国家体育场的”音响魔咒”。他们证明了他们的能力和和实力，让到场的观众都觉得值回票价。除了偶尔的小回音和前几首歌音量过大外, 音响设备大致上很清晰。为了确保观众在音质，视觉上的享受，他们不惜提高成本，压低营润，完全没剥削歌迷。

殊不知，新加坡的第4场”人生无限公司”竟然还会有些创举。那熟悉中带点新鲜感，和莫名的满腔热血。

I’m so proud of these guys, their crew & the Singapore fans.

新加坡，我们一起做到了! That sea of BLUE is awesome! 即便没有免费的荧光棒, 但那片蓝色海没缩小，反而几乎全场都自备官方荧光棒。

It took them 17 years to get from Expo, Indoor Stadium & finally to National Stadium, with a 40,000 strong crowd.

That’s definitely a new milestone for them, and for us.

有心不怕迟, 这充分的展现了五月天坚持不懈的精神，和坚韧不拔的毅力。

他们真的做到了,而且是一场比一场的成功，也不断的挑战自我。

只有五月天能战胜五月天。

他们走得比别人慢, 但他们走得更为长久，更深入民心。

以下是五月天和新加坡五迷们所共创的许多”第一次”:

1) 唱进能容纳4万人的国家体育场 (2010年DNA”无限放大版”在旧的国家体育场时是大概2万人)
2) 终于打破国家体育场音响差的”魔咒”
3) 没有送免费荧光棒, 但还是几乎全场都自备”正版”五月天荧光棒
4) 听到他们说”我爱你们” (他们不是会轻易说”爱你”的铁汉子，那绝对是出自于真心)
5) 汗流浃背”黏提提”的演唱会
6) 玛莎当爸爸后的第一场演唱会
7) 排周边商品的人龙绕国家体育场一大圈

A Mayday concert is never complete, without their Hokkien songs.

歌单方面上有作些调整，应新加坡五迷们的要求，唱2首半闽南语歌曲 (志明与春娇，憨人, 心中无别人)。
第一次看到新加坡也出现4万人的蓝色海洋时, 顿时有种震撼和不可思议的感觉。

这次大叔们的逗趣”垃圾话” Talking 少了，但依然不改本性开些”颜色笑话”和玩”回音游戏”，还打趣说大家都比较喜欢周杰伦。

他们就像浪潮，在人生经历潮落潮起时，笑看人生。 但他们总能让人觉得这不变的定律, 纯属再自然不过的现象。

你们说，”数字纪录不了你们说不出的感动，数字形容不出我们数不尽的热情。”

我想说，我们所投入的时间和金钱, 无法衡量你们带给我们的能量和勇气。

在你们面前，我从来不需要 act like my age, 可以那么肆无忌惮地做最真实, 最自然的自己。在我们面前，你们也能很舒服地尽情撒野，撒娇，耍幼稚, 耍白痴, 颜色笑话层出不穷，老梗一用再用，但还是会有人附和，给你们最直接的反应。

时间会洗涤许多悲伤的过往，但带不走我们共同创造的回忆。

你们是我的回忆制造机，通往青春的“时光机”，到达梦想的 “任意门”。

谢谢你们，伴我无悔憾的青春和狂妄。

我的青春没有极限，因为有你们。

人生最好时光，就是和你们一起变成岁月的形状。

2018年6月2日, 我们又共同写了一篇美丽的诗章。

期待下一次的相遇，我们都带着人生里的新故事一起叙旧。Read More →
