萧敬腾PK楊宗緯
I think this is one of the most drama singing competition, the PK round every in the history of Chinese singing competition. 級星光大道 a singing competition in Taiwain,currently airing on Astro. Besides elimination among the contestants, the organizer decided to spice things up by inviting people from "out side the ring" to join the PK competition where he/she will get to compete against the contestants. IF he/she win, will walk away with TWD 10,000, and the contestants will be elimitated!!! Feel the pressure? If more than 1 contestants KO-ed, jugdes will pick 1 to leave the competition.
Watch these collections of vids from youtube, showcasing the toughest contender 萧敬腾 pk-ed some of the contestants, and withness how 楊宗緯 (contetant) come back to challenge 萧敬腾 for the second time. wats the results? Check out yourself... so drama.. until I also almost cry d man...

Linkin Park Live @ Sg Indoor Stadium 13/11/2007 •
my SGD 154 is definitely paid off. I was there in the Stadium Merdeka 2003. And now 2007 but this time in Singapore! OMFG ! the concert is super awesome! i dunno how to describe is. the opening was abit chaotic when everyone start pushing each other.
My other gang was there as early as 4pm to secure some good place. I manage to make it there at about 6, just in the queue. The concernt commenced ard 9pm. Imagine the amount of time waiting! It's like a big KARAOKE session with all the LP fans through ut the concernt! I have lots of fun the nite. They sing almost 20 songs from the old albums and almost all from MTM. One of the best concert i attended so far.

One more thing worth mentioning is the electronic backdrop. the ever changing images and effect spice up the concert!
Coincidently i found this on youtube. The concert back in 2003 @ Merdeka Stadium with a sold of crowd of 50,000 people. Got so many meh? Actually, i dont think so lah :P

Gary Chao Ge @ 23/10/2007, Aloha KL •
A last minute invitation by Kaiwen brings me to Hennessy Artistry at Aloha (dont boo about the place, i went for Gary) and Gary Chao happened to perform there on the 23/10/2007. This is the first time i experience his live singing talent sooo close! HE IS DAMM GOOD LAH I TELL U! Although only 4 songs, but he managed to melt everyone's heart. Here's the video.
I think i m gonna skip leehom concert from now on. I went to his concert for 2005, sneak peak @ Sunway Lagoon (under the rain sumore) in 2006 and another concert in 2006. sigh... If Gary Chao is having a concert, I will definitely get the VIP seats!
He is now my idol. I wanna sing with him! Go Gary Go! You made Malaysian proud!
Home grown talent from Singapore, Olivia Ong's third album, who is currently based in Tokyo, has her crooning, in bossa nova, Sade and Antonio Carlos Jobim's cover versions. Her clear voice and good sense of the groove has her jazzing in style. It is an improvement to the previous pop numbers in her sopohomore offering - Precious Stones. Make it Mutual and Fade Away sounds really better in bossa nova or perhaps it is just my preference. It is a commendable effort from Olivia Ong as she takes on Bossa Nova with girlish delight. Favourites in the album include a lovely girlish redition of Seiko Matsuda's Sweet Memories. Also good to listen are L-O-V-E and Wave.
01.So Nice
02.Kiss Of Life
03.Wave
04.L-O-V-E
05.How Insensitive
06.One Note Samba
07.Make It Mutual
08.Driving
09.Fade Away
10.I'll Move On
11.Kiss Me
12.Sweet Memories
So of my favourites in bold.
Boss Nova lovers, pls include Olivia on you playlist or CD shopping list. trust me, her makes clear & excellent vocal, her groove witht he music, everything penny worth. A little bit different from Lisa Ono, Olivia is a more "girly" version of bossa nova. Kudos to the 19th years old talent from SG. I will definitely be there is she is performing in KL :) It's good for easy listening & highly recommended by me.
p/s: thanks sis for introducing such a great artiste to me :)
