spooky mirror reflections

雪。狼。湖

I watched 雪。狼。湖 on sat nite at singapore indoor stadium with my sis...almost a sold out performance.

It was quite a good chinese musical production, although the scale isn't as large as broadway production and overall the cast isn't as strong. Felt that the musical tried abit too hard to resemble broadway musical that some scenes felt like some other musicals like Les Miserables & Phantom of the Opera.

Well...well, Jacky Cheung (张学友) was superb with his live performance that he's presence overcast the rest that it seems abit like his own pop concert (partly b'cos also the venue is too large not much intimacy to experience the musical, and somemore i'm sitting rite at the top...can't even see their faces and expressions...maybe shld have been at kallang theatre) ...haha... His vocals was very powerful, no wonder he was crowned the "God of Chinese Pop" (歌神)

I find the female lead eVonne Hsu's (许慧欣) voice abit "squeeky"...her voice makes my hair stands sometimes...very "sha jiao" when she speaks...but her vocals was not too bad...changed my impression of her being a "vase". The second female lead, Nadia Chan (陈松伶) was quite competent in her role (she was actually the female lead last time time n now switched to the second female lead role...hmmm), actually i really hope the second female lead was still the origanl cast...Kit Chan (陈洁仪)...i think Kit's vocal was definitely better than Nadia...

Actaully met Nelson there also, he commented that the cantonese version was better...hmmm...this i'm not to sure...but i guess so since original its a Cantonese production...

The muscial was quite enjoyable. =p

旅行的意义

Heard this soothing song on the radio recently by 陈绮贞. Not too sure whether is it a new song or not, cos had never heard it b4.
A very 民谣 type of song, after hearing it...i suddenly remebred another of her song "还是会寂寞" which is also a very nice song.
Here's the lyrics to this song "旅行的意义", quite a beautiful set of lyrics...that rhymes.

旅行的意义

歌手：陈绮贞 专辑：旅行的意义

你看过了许多美景

你看过了许多美女

你是在地图上每一道短暂的光影

你拼成了夜的芭比

你踏过下雪的北京

你收集书本里每一句你最爱的真理

却说不出你爱我的原因

却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情

却说不出在什么场合曾让你动心

说不出离开的原因

你累积了许多飞行

你用心挑选纪念品

你搜集了地图上每一次的风和日丽

你拥抱热情的岛屿

你埋葬记忆的土尔其

你留恋电影里美丽的不真实的场景

却说不出你爱我的原因

却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情

你却说不出在什么场合曾让你分心

说不出旅行的意义

你勉强说出你爱我的原因

却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情

你却说不出在什么场合我曾让你动心

说不出旅行的意义

勉强说出你为我寄出的每一封的信

都是你离开的原因

你离开我就是旅行的意义

I am The Hermit The Hermit often suggests a need for time alone - a period of reflection when distractions are limited. In times of action and high energy, he stands for the still center that must be created for balance. He can also indicate that withdrawal or retreat is advised for the moment. In addition, the Hermit can represent seeking of all kinds, especially for deeper understanding or the truth of a situation. "Seek, and ye shall find," we have been told, and so the Hermit stands for guidance as well. We can receive help from wise teachers, and, in turn, help others as we progress.

绝对Superstar finale

Yesterday night was the finale for 绝对Superstar, it was a great "concert" performance. Great effort put up by all the contestants.

Kelly really shined with her stage presence, while kelvin touched hearts with his songs rendition. Really like his 2nd song, Jacky Cheung 《Wo Zhen De Shou Shang Le》 , his 1st song 《Nan Ren Hai Yang》 was good too. Kelly put up great performance, but maybe she's not used to dancing & moving abt & singing at the same time...her voice wasn't that steady for the 1st song, Coco Lee's 《Yan Se》. Her rendition of David Tao's 《Sha Tan》 was not bad.

The combined performance with JJ Lin Jun Jie kinda of not that fair to weilian, espeically for the 3rd song...he only like sang only one sentence...think JJ sang too much he should just lead them and not like having his own concert...haha...he sang too much parts...

As for the judges composed songs, think Weilian was saboed by Li Feihui, purposed had alot of high n falsetto parts in the song, but still that song 《Liao Jie》 is very nice...the lyrics but Xu Huanliang was good too...think it will be the Zhu Da Ge for Weilian 1st album...As for Kelly, Li Weisong kinda of helped her, he din made difficult parts in the song for her to sing and also made the piece very Re Nao...allow her to show her stage performance...but personally i dun like the song 《On My Way》...actually the melody quite flat...

As for the last song, Weilian din really chose the correct song to sing, think Kelly chose the right song...but abit pitchy at the last part...haha

Well...as usual i just watched, din vote for anyone of them. Congrats for Weilian winning the Superstar title. Not to forget Kelly also.

Kelvin Chen Weilian the new crowned Superstar

Btw last nite show was glad to hear Junyang and Xinhui singing again...Xinhui really changed alot she looks stunning...the duet 《Wu Ding》 was great. All the best for the 2 of them too...they wil have a bright future in the music scene. Jia You!
