"A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts."
- Elvis Presley
EcoWorld Starlight New Year Concert was great! This happened only recently last month in Penang SPICE Arena (PISA). The fact that Wang Leehom was going to perform was the reason why I attended the concert in the first place. Although I do not understand a word of Chinese, I do recognize some of his famous old songs during the good old days in school, where all my school friends will sing-a-long to Leehom's song lyrics which made me end up remembering some of the lyrics. Haha. He is so damn good looking to watch which makes it all the better! I went together with Yi Fei, since we had free VVIP tickets! Also, because he likes Leehom too :)
EcoWorld was sponsoring the whole event as a celebration of a New Year. If you guys haven't heard about EcoWorld, they are a property developer in Eco development. They have invited other celebrities to perform too. The first performance was by Daniel Craven, world-class illusionist. Second performance was by a local Malaysian singer-songwriter, Najwa Latif. The third was by Melody Tan, "The Voice" China finalist. And last was by Wang Leehom. I missed Daniel Craven's illusion performance. I was busy waiting in line for almost 40 minutes to order my irresistible and favorite fried mushrooms as a snack.
Najwa Latif performance was normal, but I still cheered for her to support! Melody Tan was really pretty and has an incredible voice. Her opening performance was singing "Let It Go" from the movie Frozen. Her other songs were both English and Chinese songs. And my long awaited performance was by Wang Leehom! And wow, he was even better in a live performance! The crowd was overwhelming, cheering and screaming. The stage lighting was awesome too! Well, I will let the photos and videos do the talking.
Here are the videos I managed to take: (the videos are bits and pieces due to limited space for uploading videos) :(
This song he collaborated with Avicii
This video was him performing one of our Malaysian song "Getaran Jiwa"
This video was him performing one of his old songs which I could still remember some chinese lyrics
His very last performance of the night, my favourite song of his, ending with fire sparklers and confetti shooting!
