Okay, the much-awaited DT concert was finally here yesterday! I have only one word to describe it...ICHIBAN! With Two thumbs up! I enjoyed myself throughly & fully satisfied! :D He sang for a whole 3 hours, how good was that! Real worth the $$$!
Our seats had a really good & near view of the stage. The concert commenced 8.30pm sharp. DT was in a really good shape, I must say. Explosive start to the concert when he immerged from the rising platform! Cindy started to comment that his voice is real nice...which I totally agreed! crisp clear....sounded exactly as in the album! He is so talented, playing the guitars (both accoustic & electric)& keyboard, with a complete band on tow & 2 back-up singers. In between, he paused to chat with the audience. It really felt very intimate & its like he was chatting with his old buddies! I find that he is very earnest & genuine when he speaks, every word from his heart, not pretentious. Here he is, a multi-talented celebrity deemed the "R&B Godfather" who sold millions copies of his albums & won numerous major awards but yet could remain humble! Absolutely rare nowadays! Especially with all the singing competitions popping out so common these days...many so-called newbie singers are getting more 'artificial' & superficial, heavily packaged & commercialized with the obvious intention to suit, please & blend-in to the public's taste. Distasteful, if you ask me. We need more genuine & passionate talents who are tried & proven than hypocritical, fake wannabes.
Ok,back to the concert. DT changed 3 outfits altogether. The 1st two was a bit erhem....unsuitable for him, with the 2nd one, Cindy said he looked like clownish! hahah! Well, I find that the 1st one was rather alright but I couldn't say for the 2nd one though...I find he looked more like a magician with a bag full of tricks! LOL~! Oops! But I could see that he tried hard to look good. The last outfit (after Encore) is the best....T-shirt & jeans! Casual....a rock concert uniform!
I just sang along with him when he sang my favourite tunes. It was like a karaoke session...hhahaa! I could just be there forever....:P DT mentioned to the press before that he finds S'porean audience's applause is the shortest. Well, one better word to put it I reckon is absolute stinginess! hahah! I mean, I dun understand what is the reason that some people go to concerts? They should be participators, not only spectators! Unless you're watching a symphony, then I rest my case. I find that most S'poreans are being deprived of their emotions. C'mon, should just let go & enjoy! If not, sorry to say, go home to sleep would be definitely better! Gosh, Cindy was right- she find that especially for couples, they literally enjoyed being glued to their seats! Super glue perhaps...LOL. But yesterday crowd was getting better & a little different, DT put it. I hope its just gets better! :)
Overall, the concert was a complete success. The sound system was good,everything was in place, absolutely perfect! Though no flowery settings or guest appearance...I like it this way...simply pure good music! DT is all we need! & the best of all, we got our money's worth!
