It's a concert for goodness sake


I went with my cousin bro and sister to watch Eason Chan's 陈奕迅 Moving On Stage 26 at the Sunway Lagoon Resort couple of weeks back. Malaysia is the final stop for his world tour which started in 2007 with Stage 1 in Hong Kong.


It's free standing for all price range except the VIP seat which is far far far behind the stage (usually these seats are the cheapest but I guess if you are in Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach then it's the total opposite). We are lucky to grab front rows (directly behind the 2nd most expensive tickets) and the view is near, very near. We stood for a good 3 hours screaming our lungs out, singing and dancing with weird moves! Thanks bro for inviting us and your generous treats :D


The concert started at 8.00 pm sharp with some guest performers before Eason finally appeared singing his first song K歌之王. He performed a total of 28 songs with a 40 mins encore session. I love the medley of songs kings of cantopop (i.e. Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Leon Lai). The dancers are great and there's one from Japan is a REAL hot chick! My cousin brother was drolling at her ;P

At the end of the concert, there was a display of fireworks to our delight. A truly worth-it concert which rocked the house down!


Besides a short review of the concert, what I wanted to share is the type of people who go for concert. The thing about concert is that we should at least clap if you can't sing along with the singer. How about moving along with the rhythms. I've been to quite a number of concerts and have a collection of concerts DVD. Unfortunately, most of the Malaysian audience are 'dead wood'. They watched the whole concert with no emotion. They don't clap, wave, laugh, sing or dance. They just stood there with a 'what-the-hell-am-I-doing-here' expression! Gawd!


Then there are those who bought VIP tickets but strolled in 1 hour after the concert stated and blocked others view by towing their kids and parents along. This is not some chinese wedding dinner where they don't serve before all the tables are full! Have some sense of punctuality will ya! And the same bunch will strolled out 1 hour before the concert ends. Personally, I think you don't respect the singer by walking out before the concert ends. Why don't you pathetic people just stay at home instead? =.=


The most uncivilized behavior of the Malaysian audience is to throw their glowing sticks or the waving board up to the singer when he bows to say goodbye! Are you high on drugs or what you hooligans!


I really hope our fellow Malaysians can be more sporting when comes to concert because it's really embarrassing when the singer commented that 'we are a bunch of no reaction audience'!

Here's a clip of the concert for you good folks out there.
