Cheer Chen

Cheer Chen's concert on 4 April left me with a URTI the following week.

But it was amazing, although I preferred the first one I went to in 2007 I think. preferred the more intimate setting then. This time's concert was a bigger production with many LED screens, a crane and a platform as well as a scooter, and a few encores that seemed "planned". Missed the spontaneous encores back then when she appeared with her crew even when the lights were on and all of us stood on the chairs hahaha...

But her voice is still very moving, especially in songs such as 鱼，下个星期去英国，告诉我，旅行的意义，失败者的飞翔，After 17，太聪明...she's forver so angelic just with the guitar alone. beautiful. 太有气质了！！ was very surprised that she wld sing 会不会 - 1 of my favourites as I thought it was a great song. Loved her rocker side in 太阳，吉他手，Self. this is wat i like abt her - can always hear the strength and "attitude" in her gentle, child-like voice. wA THE gUITAR Hero PK segment was amazing too. Especially with her boyfriend-cum-guitarist-cum-producer. so cool lo. I still think her bf very lucky hahaha...

I felt I didn't enjoy myself as much as I should have was cos I was sitting at the side. For Cheer's concert, I realise that one should have a centre view to see the whole stage, becos the beauty in her concerts lie in the whole stage presentation. Morover she seldom walks over to the sides - don't really utilize stage space as much as other ple like Jay or Coldplay hehe... SO next time must get a centre view!

But it was still a great concert. It was very nice of her to try to be close to the audience. Even saw the fun side of her, sailing thru the crowds, trying to take fotos with them and taking fotos of us, "spouting" words of wisdom - no wonder she's a philosophy major hehe...Being in the same venue as somone like Cheer just makes me feel a bit more "refined" hehehe... how i wish i can have 1/100 of her 气质 & 内涵 hahaha...

绮贞,你是我的太阳！

我被她电到了！实在是太有气质了！宛如音乐仙女。。。她的一举一动是那么的温柔。。。歌声那么动听，笑容那么甜，吉他弹得又酷！很抱歉，违反了“三不”约定，拍了几张照片。只因为这种时光太珍贵了，需要留作纪念， 哈哈。。。

went to Cheer Chen's first autograph session in Singapore. Finally could see her up close and personal. Fell in love with her lo.. so pretty and oozing with so much 气质. She's so sweet too.. smiled to every fan and said thanks..

can't wait for her concert on 4 April!

I so agree with the journalist - her voice's so sweet and almost child-like, but yet you can sense the strength and resilience in her voice. hehehe...

So far, all reviews I've seen are good heheheh.....

Cheer Chen - my angel of music!

After the night of escapism, I had to return to reality to finish my assignment before school starts again! Sigh...

But, it was magical, mystical, almost heavenly, and pure enjoyment, happiness and fun!

When she opened with the guitar-only 九份的咖啡店, I felt as if it was an ANGEL on stage. Her voice, her costume, her image, the stage setting, everything was just so angelic.


She sang a couple of slow songs, of which some I wasn't too familiar with. The acoustic version of 躺在你的衣柜 & 就算全世界与我为敌 was refreshing. I thought it was a pity she didn't sing the original version of 躺在你的衣柜 . Then slowly, and rock came as the band fell in - the accordian, the guitar, the drums...

Her only English song, Sentimental Kills was as cool as she was when she donned a red mask. Can't remember the repertoire of songs, but she also sang a French song, following which she sang 一起去巴黎. Didn't hear it before, but it's nice!

The crowd went high when she paraded round the audience in a "float" while singing 女明星. My friend and I just rushed to the front but got shoved by the security guards. I only managed to catch a glimpse of her and her beautiful red hair...

After that, it was high all the way when she sang a series of rock and familiar songs - 躺在你的衣柜 in its original version! Didn't expect her to sing it twice. Her favourite song?? haha.. and 让我想一想，华丽的冒险 etc.

Then of course there was 告诉我，还是会寂寞，小步舞曲，80% 完美的日子，腐朽，静静的生活，我的骄傲无可救药，温室花朵。。。。

旅行的意义 was so touching - don't know why... then some die-hard fans really brought along their helmets - so funny! It was beautiful - the whole song, and the whole atmosphere.

The climax and hype and fun of the whole thing actually lies in the encore - as there was not 1, not 2, but 5 encores!!! How exciting is that! Most people just didn't bear to leave, even after the bossa nova music came on, and credits rolled. So we just kept cheering and clapping while she kept appearing on stage and just sang, since she said 不太会讲话. So everyone just rushed to the front, stood on the
chairs and swayed along with the music. I waited until my favourite 太聪明 came. And After 17.. very nice... and some other songs which I don't recognise, but were equally good.

We finally left only when people came on stage to pack up... still so reluctant...

Cheer's such an angel - both her voice and herself are angelic and serene. Her music is an ode to life and being able to live life peacefully.

She's so soft-spoken, and shy, I think there were less than 5 min of talking throughout the whole show, only singing, but that's all right. Cos the music could bring across what she feels - her passion for music, life, love and everything else beautiful. The fact that she love summer shows her passion for and optimism in life. Her music's just so relaxing and peaceful and serene, we are allowed to leave behind the mundanity and problems in life and escape into her world.

It was so true when she said that we are really lucky to be able to be present to relax and immerse ourselves in the music while others are probably engaged in battles of life.

She's such a humble, sentimental and lovely, talented lady! I really feel her oozing with charm, intelligence and beauty. Zhong Chenghu, her boyfriend's really lucky.

她是一个多么有内涵的气质音乐人啊！ 陈绮贞 - 我的音乐天使！

Check out a video of her singing 失败者的飞翔 - 超感人！
