杰倫!

Yesterday's concert was a blast! But before I go into that, I'll have to tell you that I bought a Jay concert tee (which is the cutest t-shirt I've ever gotten, and HAHA people, stop staring, I know you're jealous that you couldn't get the shirt) and a Jay figurine. The latter is a Singapore edition, so I guess that's what I got myself this year. =) Just before the concert, when I was staring at this big green hand sign with the writing "I 'heart' U JAY" at the seats it finally hit me that I was going to see JAY LIVE, so I felt this sudden rush of excitement. lol.

In general, the visual effects were totally awesome; there were lots of fireworks and lightings and stuff. I think he must have spent a lot of money on those. Jay's performance was really good; he changed the notes a lot, but sounded strained at some parts (he's got the flu). I think he changed costume nine times, and looked great the whole time. Surprisingly he only forgot his lyrics a few times lol. You can hear the crowd singing along with him, and the sea of light sticks look beautiful. Actually I wanted to stand up throughout, but in the end I only stood up at some parts of the concert. =( There were lots of guys too (Jay ain't a freakin' 花瓶 YAY). I can't remember everything, so I'll just post what I can recall.

At first they showed Kungfu Dunk trailer, which looks great. I actually think Jay looks very cute with the bowl hairstyle. xDD

1. 黄金甲 (here)
There was some clip on the screen, and some people wearing golden costumes came out. Then Jay came out from under the stage, wearing that purple costume thingy.

2. 無雙 (here)
He took off his purple costume, and now you can see his ponytail clearly (looks funny haha). He hit one of the high notes! ^^

3. 最後的戰役
Another costume change, with the ponytail off (yay!). I must say he looked very good with his hair like that, even his microphone looked good with the gold colour. xD

4. 不能說的秘密
Originals are always the best. What's with the "Jay's LIVE isn't as good as his CD" thing? That version can't even be compared with Jay's. I'm not saying whose. lalala.

5. 退後

6. 麦芽糖
The dancers were wearing some kinda clown costumes, lol.

7. 牛仔很忙
HAHA the dancing was cute.

8. 聽媽媽的話
The beginning of this song was Jay sitting on the steps on stage and asking us who should he thank since it's his birthday, to which the crowd answered "妈妈!" Then the music started and he shook his forefinger right and left, which I find cute. xD And yeah, 周润发 and 张学友 made a guest appearance on the screen.

9. 黑色幽默
Behold the TRANSLUCENT PIANO! It's like, so cool lahh. Jay + piano = 帅! I was actually staring at one line of sweat sweat on his face. xP

10. 最長的電影
The MV was playing on screen while he sang and played the piano. I lovee this song to bits.

11. 安静
Somehow I got really high (inside) when he sang this song; afterall it was the first Jay's song that I encountered. Hearing him singing it LIVE just made me feel all fuzzy inside. xP But he forget some of the lyrics (lol!), and made up the lyrics himself. =D

12. 白色風車

13. Piano Battle with Yuhao
Before the piano battle there was a funny video clip showing Yuhao being very jealous as he was in love with Da Ni (the chubby girl in 牛仔很忙 MV) lol. It was so funny. They cut scenes from Jay's MVs and put in Yuhao's scenes in them, which I thought was pretty impressive. The piano battle itself was AWESOME! And Jay was wearing a simple black shirt, which was a good change from all the elaborate costumes.

14. Hip-hop Dance with Yuhao (here)
This part really surprised me; I didn't know Jay can actually dance like that. Cool! =))

15. 千里之外
Now he's wearing an all-white costume with a hat. The dancers in the back were waving some white feathery thingy lol. I was wondering whether Fei Yu Qing would appear, which he didn't. But that's okay; Jay's rendition was good.

16. 菊花台

17. 本草綱目
He danced! It was great. Jay can dance too, ohkay! =)) And he did some cheling (I don't know what it's called in english) too at the end of the song, he threw it high up but it didn't drop. Pro!

Guest Stars - 南拳媽媽
Tonight
What can I Do
牡丹江
Lara's voice is so high sia. The crowd wasn't cheering that much and the people around me were quiet, so I tried to cheer as much as I could. Some people went to toilet during this time. =/

18. 夜的第七章
Lara sang the female part and the last chorus that was supposed to be sung by Jay. Dan Tou appeared too, even though I don't know why. haha.

19. 夜曲
He appeared sitting on a giant high-heel shoe (LOL) with two dancers molesting him dancing near him.

20. 迷迭香
I'm not a fan of this song, but now I like it more. He danced that dance he did in the MV with one of the dancers. The thing is, after this song, the dancers (who were wearing red bare-back dress, went to the audience and danced with the guys in the audience. It's funny at first, but kinda out of line, at least for me.

Jay and 南拳媽媽 guys
They were with their guitars, chatting and cracking some lame jokes. At this point Jay was wearing a shiny black coat lol. Anyway I really like how natural Jay seems to be. The NQMM guys then sang some song that was supposed to be boo-ing Jay, lol. I'm kinda disappointed that the company didn't arrange a birthday celebration for him; after all it's his birthday and he still had to work. In the end it was Jay who initiated us to sing a Birthday song for him (it's so Jay-ish, lol). He must know that the fans were dying to wish his a happy birthday, haha. We sang in Chinese and English, and meanwhile he sorta acted as a conductor, it was cute. Then they started changing some songs, the guys sang a ballad-y version of 忍者 (which sounded ookay haha).

21. 双节棍
Still with the NQMM guys, Jay sang a different version of this song. It sounded like a completely different song, just with the same lyrics. I prefer the original (haha!), but it's cute. lol.

22. 彩虹
A very good performance! Him playing the guitar is a plus. =)

23. 开不了口
He forgot the lyrics. lol.

24. 甜甜的
At first Jay was like asking us what song he was gonna sing, "三个字, 什么什么的!". I was like shouting "甜甜的!" even when no one else around me (except Mich) were shouting. Whatever~! hahaha. He didn't make the the cute "mwahh!" and "chuuuu" sounds, but that's okay. haha. This was said to be the last song.

ENCORE
The crowd started shouting incoherently, but then the band came out again and they started the beat, so the crowd shouted "周杰倫 woo!" repeatedly, which was sooo funny lol.

25. Playing the drums
It was cool!

26. 陽光宅男

27. 发如雪
He played the guzheng at first, with the crowd singing until the first chorus. He had that look of concentration on his face, sometimes he would stick his tounge out. xD Then he sang himself.

28. 霍元甲
Jay was holding a gold fan while singing. He pointed the mic to the audience at the beginning of the chorus, so I was shouting "霍霍霍霍霍霍霍霍!" lol. He threw a 双节棍 to the audience (must have hurt if hit lol). Then the last part: Dan Tou appearing on stage IN DRAG. He was wearing a pink glittery dress and was trying to hug and kiss Jay. It was hilarious to see Jay running across the stage to avoid him, LOL. Such kids. xD

With that, the concert ended. It was 11+, so the whole concert was about two and a half hours. It felt very short, though. He didn't sing a lot of my favourite songs, but obviously it's impossible to sing all of them as even one whole week of concerts wouldn't be enough. I hope he got enough rest yesterday, 'cos there's gonna be another concert tonight. I think the crowd's gonna be more high, though. But that's fine with me, after all I'm one of the lucky people that got the ticket in the first place, one of 10,000 that got to watch Jay's concert on his birthday, and one of the few that got the concert shirt. I'm contented. =)))














^the funny-looking purple costume. Now then I realise that Dan Tou and Zhang Jie were playing the guitar. I was too busy looking at Jay, lol. xP






























^ROFL. xDD
