Jay Chou concert 2008

When concert started

People are high during concerts

This was given free to all fans sitting at category 1 to 4
Me and my friend went for Jay's concert. We bought ticket 1st day when its on sales for OCBC card member but the sistic system was unable to access almost whole day. Finally I was at Bishan J8 queue 1.5 hours (only 8 people in front of me) for my 2 category 3 tickets. Initially wanted to get category 1 but both category 1 and 2 tickets left bad seats. So decided to get category 3. Not too bad got Block T34 (around 2nd block from stage) and Row 18. Pretty good actually. Did not regret going for the concert. Want to get some souvenirs but was surprised alll sold out at 5pm need to preorder. It seems the previous night many fans bought them and stock finish earlier than expected.


I went to a number of concerts in 2007. The best being Jacky Cheung 2007 and A-Mei 2007. But now after went to Jay's concert the feelings at concert is high from beginning to end. Most fans stood to watch and wave while Jay's performing. While other concerts start get high from middle or towards ending. Maybe because the songs performed were different for Jay. his mostly R & B and rap and some slow numbers while Jacky and A-Mei were mostly slower sad love songs.
If you ask me to rate I will say Jay's concert can be as equally good as Jacky and A-Mei with difference that he might not be able to sing as well as both but he has other talents that fill in what was lacking. He can play musical instruments like piano and guitar very well. But what I have seen last night was he able to play drum as well as 'chinese 'qing' for the song Fa Ru Xue. Pretty impressive. He can also rap very well and act in movie. Even display Bruce Lee kungfu. A multi talented artiste.
Slight disappointment was his performance of Ju Hua Tai. The beginning was pretty bad as he started very slow and seems to stop in between more than twice. Not sure if its because he was still recovering from flu so was unable to sing in his best form but towards end he was able to pull through. (Still for Ju Hua Tai WL still sang the best so far) But overall I was impressed that Jay was able to sing live for almost all the songs without any problems like not in tune.
I will post more photos soon.
