Oh My God!! Taufik's concert just now was definitely way better than Hady's!! Well.. we can't argue here cause Taufik's the 1st S'pore Idol and has two albums out. On the other hand, Hady was just named our 2nd S'pore Idol and has only released his solo album. But.. the response was way better than Hady's. When me and Liana went there at 5.30, the entrance to the auditorium was completely crowded!!
We waited for half and hour just to enter the auditorium and waited for a few more minutes before the show starts. When the auditorium went dim, everybody started cheering and shouting, and out came.... the emcee who dressed like Taufik - complete with the outfit and the shades! When he came out, everybody treated him like a star! Cameras were out, flashing themselves away while Taufik fans were screaming their hearts out! Me and Liana were laughing at how "stupid" they were!
Fortunately, it all ended with Carrie Chong and Miss Vendetta from 987 fm appearing on stage. They gave out a few tickets to the "ASEAN Rocks" concert that will be held at Hard Rock Cafe this weekend and finally, they introduced Taufik to the screaming fans. It was a grand entrance for him, with fans crowding over him while he moves on to the stage. He sang a few songs from his second album before stopping for a while to interact with the audience. It was quite embarassing to hear that those on stage did not know any songs from his second album but at least one die-hard fan sang a duet with him!!
After that brief interaction, he sang some accoustic version of his songs and some from famous artists around the world. Sadly, he didn't play the guitar but two of our very own NYP students played it while he sang. He sang songs from Ne-yo - So Sick and Justin Timberlake - My Love and he stated that the latter has given him the inspiration to sing and write songs. He also sang One Last and I Dream from his last album and Usah Lepaskan which was one of his Malay songs. He then ended his concert with his latest single, All Because Of You which was a great ending!
Everyone was happy and contented with the concert that he gave. More songs than Hady and definitely more "oommph"! LOL. Well.. hopefully next year there'll be more concerts in NYP! I'll be crossing for fingers for luck! |
