歌神 God of Songs

I finally get to see the "God of Songs" 歌神 perform live. And I am extremely amazed by him.

At the "not-so-flattering" age of 46 for a celebrity, his stamina, energy, showmanship, and most importantly voice were superb!

He has been singing longer than I am born (When he debutted I wasn't even born yet) and it's great that after so many years, he's still bringing moving and fantastic music and performances to everyone.

I especially love his bassy & manly voice and the way he soars effortlessly to high registers and all his soulful, moving and emotional renditions of his classic ballad hits.

From Chinese classics 每天爱你多一些,吻别,情书 to Cantonese classics 只想一生跟你走,李香兰 to more recent works 在你身边,我真的受伤了, his live singing is indescribable with words... they were just too perfect.

And the songs he wrote for his daughter and wife, they were beautiful! He must be a very good husband and father...

Also, I didn't know that he could dance! His dance moves were sleek and energetic, and at his age, I think he's so good! It's no wonder that he perspired perfusely already at the beginning with a few of his fast numbers (which I wasn't too familiar with). And he was so high, that the newspapers commented that he was 颠 (Canto, means crazy)! He defended himself, saying that only when performing fast rock songs can he scream like nobody's business, and screaming's really a relieve of stress and bad feelings. I didn't know that this heavenly king's really quite humorous too! The way he connects with the audience and interacts with us was a very good feeling.

I was surprised that he even incorporated a half-hour musical into this world tour. Actually I shouldn't be, since the 2 musicals that he starred in, Snow Wolf Lake (雪狼湖) & Perhaps Love (如果。爱) were so successful. But it was a regret for me that the musical featured only 1 Snow-Wolf-Lake song 爱是永恒. It was after watching 雪狼湖 that I truly admired this heavenly king.

And it is after watching this fantastic concert that I believe, the stage belongs to him. Performing is really in his blood, and he is blessed with a "heavenly" voice.


昨晚真的是让我听出了耳油!听学友哥唱歌真的是人生的一大享受。绕梁三天。。荡气回肠。。 哈哈。。(滥用成语)

就如他所说的,他真的是用了他的心去唱歌,所以才能那么感动人心。

虽然我没能跟歌神在音乐的路上一起成长(因为他大我两倍!),虽然歌神在最后一首歌的最后一句出了点状况,但歌神在我心目中还是完美的!
