WITH Selina and Ella both attached, it’s really just Hebe left from Taiwan’s cutest all-female trio who’s still plugging away with her solo music career. And last night, she took her Singapore fans for a musical journey of love. At least, the gig was called To My Love, her last concert was called Love To Hebe, and her second album was called My Love. At the gig, she covered John Lennon’s Love and sang her own song called Love!
Anyway, here’s some love for fans from Hebe.
I DON’T know about you, but I’m actually quite keen to catch Hebe’s new show. Yes, I know, some people have said that her shows are rather dull, uninspiring, wooden and well, much too safe for comfort. But hey, she’s the only one left from S.H.E. that’s still single.
Anyway, we received a report about how Hebe recently did a gig in Shanghai, where it was said that she created “”visual, hearing, sense of three-dimensional world of music live concert fans” (sorry, that’s a direct Google translation).
There’s more where that translation came from: ”With the piano pouring out of John Lennon’s Love, a light smoky stage, Hebe 2012 To My Love in Shanghai concert will officially pull to curtain, with nearly 10,000 fans witnessed the love singing girl with the song April 21 night, shrouded in the romance of love.”
Now that’s a lot of love.
Of course, Hebe’s debut solo effort was called Love! To Hebe, and her sophomore effort was called My Love, so you can understand the sentiment prevalent in her recordings.
So what can we expect for her show here? Well, for those of you who didn’t get the DVD of the concert, furniture will be featured. The last time we saw here show here, she had a comfy chair and a table lamp.
This time, she’s pulled out all the stops and brought a bed along. No “lying down on the job” jokes, please.
If you want more precursors of what will happen here come June 9, 8pm, Resorts World Convention Centre, Compass Ballroom, then feast your eyes on these pics.
Sometimes, she’ll use her left hand to hold the microphone.
And sometimes, she’ll use her right hand to hold the microphone.
And sometimes she’ll hold a drumstick and a tambourine.
And sometimes, she’ll surround herself with dummies.
Tickets for Hebe’s show priced at S$88 to S$158 from Sistic.
(OMG! He's throwing up a cloth rag and a mic and a... oh wait.)
EVER so often you read these stories about rock stars and the weird things that happen to them (“He did what to whom? With a Mars bar?”). And most of the time we shrug it off without much thought (“Yeah, he would do that, wouldn’t he?”).
But this has got to be one of the strangest news pieces I’ve read in quite a while. And it’s not even a rocker from the US or UK or one of those far-flung jurisdictions. It’s someone from across the Causeway – a dude by the name of Awie, who just so happens to front one of Malaysia’s biggest rock outfit, Wings. (Don’t tell Paul McCartney, okay?)
But this story, man, it’s so out-of-this-world that when you read it, you can almost hear Ray Manzarek’s haunting organ riffs in the background, as Jim Morrison’s echoey voice calls out in the distance: “Strange days have found us…”
SAD news for fans who’ve loved songs like Losing My Religion, Shiny Happy People, Radio Free Europe, Fall On Me, Man On The Moon, etc…
Scrolling through the web then on the official R.E.M. website – R.E.M. is NO MORE! WHAT! No! Yes. The threesome have called it a day. Here’s the message from their website… Continue reading ‘OMG! RIP, R.E.M.’
ELECTION SONG OF THE DAY: ????
It’s Good Friday, and just like how this period signalled a time for change and new beginnings for those who believe; I similarly believe the current political situation (aka GE 2011) will be a key event that will signal a time for… well, something.
As such, I want to take a break from the usual transmission this time to dedicate some songs to this thing called GE 2011.
This is based on what I’ve read about them and my fanciful imagination (which I’m sure Worker’s Party chief Low Thia Khiang would say is more imaginative that of the People’s Action Party’s Mah Bow Tan).
So here goes…
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is by Jet, also Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is by Oasis. For all the electors and the candidates.
