De one with Jay Chou's Concert!

High high high!

It's been nearly 24 hours since my long-awaited Jay Chou's concert, in pursuant of his 2007-08 World Tour, at Singapore Indoor Stadium. YES YES! the "HIGH" fever is still burning within me. Why HIGH? It's the motivating passion and and perpetual joy derived from yesterday's idol's 3 hours plus live gig!!

A few months ago in October last year, I managed to purchase an online booking after much painstaking effort, trying to access and proceed from the SISTIC events homepage, all the till the online transaction was successfully completed. Not just this obstacle, I was studying for my management accounting paper which was due the next day.

Well.. with 100% honesty, I must say all that hussle was completely worth it when Jay Chou delivered an indescribable splendid and outstanding performance. Moreover, yesterday coincided with the pop-king's 29th birthday, which brought further exclusiveness to the concert.

Why? There's too much to commend about the electrifying concert experience with

(1) flames of sparks splurging unexpectingly from ends of the electric guitars,
(2) multi-instruments talent display when 周杰伦 played the Gu-qin, drumset, purple guitar and a transparent grand piano,
(3) bringing the "piano battle" scene from <<不能說的祕密>>,
(4) revised-tune for one of his trademark songs : 雙截棍,
(5) upbeat bossa-nova dancers who went wild with the audiances,
(6) Jay's sexy scene with female dancers on giant red high heel shoe set while singing 迷迭香,
(7) 周杰伦 showing his talents again with his 扯鈴 acrobat,
(8) more elaborated costumes,
(9) improved dancing moves (wah, looks like Rain's gonna be in trouble),
(10) Jay Chou singing 霍元甲 with his amazing fan-twirling stunt,
(11) Jacky Chueng and Zhou Ren Fa's scene singing and moving respectively during 听妈妈的话,
(12) moving the audiences' nostaglic hearts with songs from his initial few albums like 安靜, 開不了口, 最後的戰役, original 雙截棍.
(13) Special segments with 南拳媽媽 performances
(14) Showcasing a beautifully written chinese poem from his lyricist and good friend 方文山

The stage effects include jail-bars descending from the top, platform rising and even the white screen at either sides of the stage was swinging. More more!! Colorful confetti, sparks shooting effects.. AND AND!! yellow-lit candlier which makes your jaws drop in admiration.

There was three times encore. In my opinion, songs arrangement were not really in a flow.. perhaps more familiar in segments. However, I totally enjoy because of recognition and relating to every song he sang and the fact that he's singing live lah. OMG! HIGH HIGH HIGH!

Most of the time I was waving my light-stick which Honey bought for 3 for 10 bucks. It's really cool. And of course, 公仔 (mini- Jay Chou figurine) which subsequently triggered my desire to collect more! Not forgetting, everybody even got this big bright green hand-cupboard (sponsored by Starhub) which I waves funatically during encore!

Which also brings me to some distracting anti-HIGH. There was this fat.. ok.. plumb woman who waved the big green hand until it nearly hit me. Sigh. So much for being HIGH.

Nonetheless, my second Jay Chou concert was definately better than the previous! One-third partly because my Honey was by my side, watching despite not really crazy over my endearing idol. 2nd-third partly was also, it was my every first time watching a concert on the singer's birthday. In which, I got to be part of the whole audience, singing Happy Birthday songs (in 中文 and English versions). Last partly, for the very first time, I was really strongly in support of my idol that I initiated to stand up while the others around me were not really keen prior me! HEHE.

From youtube, seems like in his HK concert, he sang 對你愛不完 , (安靜, 晴天) and 淘汰 with Aaron Kwok, 許志安 and Eason Chan respectively! Even 費玉清 was present to sing 千里之外 with him too!!

At the end of the day, 周杰伦 World Tour 2007-08: Outrageous awesome!
