Moving Castle

SHE's concert was extremely entertaining, with only a downside: the extremely loud surround sound system. My ears were buzzing even after the concert because half the time throughout the duration I have music blasting directly at my ear drums. But I guess it's quite worth it, because the three of them have definitely improved in their vocals and stage presence.

Ella was smart, ok everyone says that, but I think we tend to overlook her feministic touch to certain songs, or her more ladylike appearances. Perhaps her cool personality is more remembered for giving that balance to the group, or maybe she is just stereotyped. Selina's performance was dazzling, her solo dance would surely be well etched in our memories. It was a bold attempt, something you would expect from Jolin Tsai, but I believe every artiste needs a breakthrough now and then. Lastly we come to Hebe, who was of course, subjectively, the best. Ok even objectively her singing sounds firm, her performance is steady and her music blending was very natural, except she probably can pull off a greater show if she can master the microphone. 但真的只有四个字形容：赏心悦目。Oops I so rarely practise bigotry but there is always a first.

Still, if I have to rate the concerts I have been to so far. This will be a rough gauge:

Best musicality: David Tao “就是爱你”
Best talent showcase: Lee Hom “盖世英雄”
Best entertainment: SHE
Most emotional: JJ Lim

I must admit I still liked David Tao's concert best. His live performances definitely sweep me off my feet. His song arrangement, mood setting, emotions are all neatly presented. His voice is very engaging and his concert so professional. Now looking forward to Jacky Cheung's concert in July. Yeah!!!!
