新加坡是”地表最强2″的海外巡演首站, 而周杰伦也抢”头香”在2018年在新加坡国家体育场开演唱会。他也是第一位在国家体育场有4万人为他唱生日快乐歌的歌手。

离上回的”地表最强”已有1年多，但演唱会门票依旧是处于”秒杀”状态。能进场的也算是”地表最会抢票”的一份子。尝试过抢购他的演唱会门票的人，应该会同意他的门票的确是”地表最难买”之一。

“地表最强2″ 新加坡演唱会的几大亮点:
– 酷炫壮观的舞台搭设和灯光视觉效果
– 每个环节都有符合主题的串烧歌曲
– 周董,Joanna Dong & Olinda Cho 3人合唱的”听见下雨的声音”
– 个人认为穿插默剧演员的表演都很逗趣，令人会有种会心一笑的感觉
– 开放歌迷点歌环节和周董有趣幽默的机智Talking
– 周董的炫妻/宠妻行为

会去观看周杰伦演唱会的, 除了一票死忠粉丝，还有许多人是为了去回味曾经陪伴自己成长岁月的 Classics, 或者是为了他的舞台，灯光效果，他的音乐才艺，和独特的音乐风格。

你也不难发现，观众最热烈的时候就是他边弹边唱着”周氏情歌”的时候。

那都是大家最爱周杰伦在舞台上的模样。

周董的歌迷是很特别的一群。即便周董堪少和台下的观众说话，他们都十分的 High，也可以说是很自High的一群。演唱会是绝无冷场。

舞台设计依旧华丽，3D立体视觉效果依然很棒。这次的演唱会大致上和上一场的rundown差不多，但在曲目上加入了许多大家喜欢的经典，如双截棍，世界末日，星晴，爱在西元前, 简单爱，半岛铁盒。

曲目包括了英雄，开不了口，床边故事，以父之名，夜曲，美人鱼，园游会，听见下雨的声音， 爸，我回来了, 浪漫手机，回到过去，时光机，龙卷风，安静，告白气球, 甜甜的，阳光宅男，搁浅，本草纲目，霍元甲， 明明就，我要夏天，七里香.等。

虽然开放点歌+合唱环节算是很有互动的环节，但如果周董本身把它们独唱一遍，大多粉丝们应该会更能appreciate.

他妙语如珠，且机智幽默的talking，真的逗乐众多粉丝。

整体来说，去看演唱会的观众都是意犹未尽的, 因为周董实在是有太多的经典歌曲还没唱。

不过，他也透漏了明年还想再来开唱。粉丝们势必又得来一场大厮杀。

希望下一次，周董可以考虑把每张专辑里最经典的几首歌曲都唱一遍，让大家玩个尽兴。

在”地表最强”之后，周董又会如何破自己的记录和格局呢?Read More →

热血，不需要矫情，只需真情流露。

就在刚过去的周末，五月天带了他们的第10代巡回演唱会”人生无限公司”到新加坡，连High了3个晚上，为这年末开个最精彩盛大的 Party.

你加入，上班打卡，加班了吗?

每位”人生无限公司”的”员工”都带着各自不同的故事和心情在那3个夜晚”上班打卡”，甚至疯狂, 不要命的”加班”。全世界上也只有这间公司的”神经病”们才会那么乐意加班。

许多人是为了演唱会的好口碑慕名而来，但对于那些上了”年纪”的来说， 这是和五月天”老友鬼鬼”的聚会。

人与人之间，只要频率对上了，就有那莫名的默契，就像神经病和更多的神经病一起狂欢的派对。

能和他们一起成长，走过岁月的足迹，各自在自己的人生领域里奋斗，是一种幸运，也是一种幸福。

3场演唱会看下去，其实感觉真的都不太一样。

观众的反应，”大叔”们的即兴脱轨，颜色笑话层出不穷，每日歌单至少会换个4-5首歌曲。每次巡演的同时，你也不仅会发现他们的用心。许多歌都会重新编曲，让人有比较 refreshing 的感觉。

他们在舞台上的卖力，台下观众热情的回应和相呼应，是最直接，最买单的表现。那台上台下的互相调侃，肆无忌惮的颜色笑话，一天比一天升级化。台下的观众时而大声合唱, 连接力唱也胜任的措措有余，时而呐喊”Hey Hey Hey Hey, 啦啦啦”, 都无需任何彩排。这就是五月天和五迷们之间的默契。

这些长不大的”老男孩”一开起黄腔就特别带劲，但他们的逗趣”Talking”也成为了每场演唱会不可或缺的亮点。

看五月天的演唱会最重要的就是气氛，和那些能够打动你, 感动你, 让你有所共鸣的歌曲。可以一起笑, 一起哭, 在那之后吸取满满的正能量，继续打拼。

演唱会里最引人深思的就是这两句:

“你怎么做，你怎么活, 就决定了你的自传怎么写”。。。

“人生是有限的，但友情是无限的”。。。

“天人生无限公司”, is really a company no one minds working for.

我不介意一直，一直加班下去。

“每个梦都像任意门往不同世界，而你的故事现在就是起点”。

下一次，你又会带着什么样的故事来听五月天的演唱会呢?Read More →

It’s a well-thought out, simple but impactful gig, for Derrick Hoh to bid farewell to the current phase of his music career, before he embarks on the next phase to embrace new challenges. It was a cosy but intimate, heartfelt sharing session, which connected the home-grown singer with his fans.

The concept of this mini concert should be “Back to Basics, Simplicity at its Best”, with no frills no thrills but 满满的诚意和感谢。

今天的演出就是那种很简单，但很舒服的一场音乐分享会。没有华丽的服装或舞台效果，就是简单的小舞台，吉他手和键盘手伴奏。他就唱着自己喜欢的歌曲给喜欢和支持他的人听。也只有在这样的场合，他才能敞开心扉的多分享这些年来的点滴。

There were about 17 or more songs in the set list which include 为梦想闪耀，晴天， 柠檬甜甜的, 换我爱你， 做你的他, 当我知道你们相爱，每时每刻，变化，假装不了，All I want, 我恨我爱你, Love Song, 原谅我, 我不會唱歌, 克罗地亚的天空, 你走天桥，我走地下道…

还记得12年前的自己是什么模样吗? 当时的自己怀抱着什么梦想和理想?

现在的你, 已实现了你的梦想, 依然追寻着, 还是已经放弃了呢?

It hasn’t been 一眨眼 for Derrick Hoh but the little chipmunk from“Project Superstar” has grown and matured over the years, yet still keeping his 初衷.

还记得”绝对 Superstar”时, 许多评判都说他唱歌像是嘴里含着糖一样。

但其实，我觉得咬字清晰固然重要，但那也何尝不是他的各人特色?

听他唱着这些歌, 脑海里会有许多回忆浮现。 His voice is still as soothing and gentle to the ears.

Sincerity definitely can be felt.

There was also an additional autograph and photo taking session whereby Derrick could express his thanks to his fans and also for the fans to be able to give him some encouragement and support while bringing back some fond memories.

Thanks for the heartfelt performance.

Jiayou, my favourite little chipmunk from Project Superstar~

We’ll see you around and looking forward to more works from you!Read More →

After not watching Mayday perform for 3 years, the audience was at an all-time high. Most stood, grooved & jumped throughout the concert, whilst waving the centrally controlled light sticks. The “Lalala” during 憨人, white flashlights, encore chants, singing and cheering loudly, was something that took them by surprise.

Well done, Singapore. You know when to step out of your dormant mode. Mayday is one of the only artiste that can get audience springing from their seats to stand and jump from the very first song till the very end.

That’s probably what we call releasing all your energy after bottling up for so long.

如果我们不曾相遇，我又会是在哪里?

This was something that I was pondering whilst at the concert.

This sentence not just pertains to your loved ones, family members and friends, but also, if these 5 guys did not appear in my life 15 years ago, how different would my life have been?

他们是越老越吃香. They are in their 40s (only Masa is 39), 没有俊男，没有6块腹肌，和随时会走音的主唱, 老梗一玩再玩, but the fan base has been growing steadily, from young fans to old fans.

They “lie” quietly in our CD Players, MP3 Players and accompany us all these years, so it isn’t really surprising why the fans return them with such generous spontaneity during their concerts. This is what the artistes need most as encouragement.

It’s a 2-way relationship.

Without Mayday, many of us may still be just resigned to our fates and daren’t take the chance to really venture into doing what we like, much less to follow our hearts and our dreams.

You may say they are just strangers, but yes, strangers close to our hearts.

We do not know one another in real life, yet they are like the catalyst for some change in all of us.

They are very low profile, down-to-earth & 一步一脚印 kinda artiste. They are like 细水长流型 to us, just like how wine tastes better over time.

Their songs’ genre might have changed a little over the years as they go through different stages in life. It doesn’t matter if they are commercialised, as long as they keep to the pact of singing till 80 years old. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that their songs can just keep you going for a very long time.

What is so nice about a Mayday concert?

It is the atmosphere, strength, inspiration and positive energy that you can draw from their songs, tonnes of fun and laughter from their “colourful jokes” and “rubbish talk” too.

The relationship between Mayday and their fans is really like what they label as “没大没小”. It’s indeed 没距离感, they are 平民百姓 just like us。

五月天的精神是什么?

就是”憨人” 这首歌..

They draw comfort, solace and encouragement from the sea of blue too. The bobbing light sticks represent thousands and thousands of people who love their music.

To the fans, that sea of Blue and Number 5 mean something more significant.

The 5 of them comes as a package, just like you can’t lose any finger on your hand.

They are a positive source of energy.

They changed the rundown a little on Day 2 and it was really so good to hear 盛夏光年 & 雌雄同体, 超人, 志明与春娇!

Like they said, after the concert, we need to go back to our daily lives and 好好的过我们的生活。。

No matter how time passes, just remember that we must be 倔强 & 顽固 enough to stay true to who we are.

憨人, 人生海海, 倔强，一颗苹果, can keep us going for some time.

Just don’t make us wait another 3 yrs before the next gig.

我最爱的大叔们， 谢谢你们出现在我的生命里…

敬我们的下一个15年,20年，30年….

干杯。Read More →
