Sandy rocks!
Notice I hardly use the phrase- “xxx rocks” Or “Stay cool and funky”. Reminds me of an army of teenagers writing in to 987’s Say it with Music or 933’s 弦歌寄意, you know? But this is like the most convenient phrase to use… So…
I declare 林忆莲 夜色无边 新加坡演唱会 as my favourite concert this year.
She charmed the house with her excellent vocal showcase, her sweet feminine smile and that aura- which I also don’t know how to describe lah. So superstar lor.
As much as I blast retro half the time, I’m a sucker for ballads.
When Sandy brought the mic stand to the middle of the stage and sang 远走高飞. I thought I saw her tearing.
不如远走高飞自己解围 我无路可退
怎么对你说出口 怎么对你说爱我
我独自穿越这条伤心的街 怎么去感觉所有你的一切
我鼓起勇气忘记这个距离 怎么让自己习惯了没有你
Wah laos, the divas I like always have relationship problems. Now that Faye is Mrs Li Yapeng, I hope Sandy can be happy too.
I might not have mentioned this before. In the course of my work where I could have amassed a nauseating amount of autographed CDs, autograped photos, autographed whatever, I’ve only asked for something autographed once- a poster of hers.
I’m not exactly a fan fan of hers. I don’t even know her Cantopop stuff and half the Mandopop songs she sang when I was much younger. But there’s no way to ignore her stage presence but to have your butt firmly planted on the seat- unless you really really have to pee- while she effortlessly hits all the high notes. Basically, you just shut up, sit, watch and listen. My friends and family would know that something or someone incredible is needed to make me sit still.
I watched her collect an award at the Singapore Hit Awards a few days before my 16th birthday, her mini concert with Qi Yu at the now defunct Harbour Pavilion the night before I collected my ‘O’s results, and numerous showcases and concerts over the years. I went home each and every time thinking she is the stuff of what legends are made of.
