?靖晶?道 ??雄/?明??影
台??作歌手陶?上周末在室?体育??行的“就是?你音?惊奇之旅”演唱?，有多?次的“?”，也???多惊喜，比??年前在新加坡首次?行“Soul Power Live”演唱?，“就是?你”更精彩。
以歌曲“Melody”?罪
演唱?有各式“?”的表?。陶??了表??歌迷的?，?次冒?被歌迷“非?”的危?跳下台跟歌迷握手，?得他上台后?：“好恐怖！”。跟“?情”?有?系的是?陶?唱跟前女友Melody同名歌曲“Melody”，他“?昧”地?，原本不?唱?首歌，但?了“??”自己低估本地歌迷的?情程度，就以?首歌?罪。
至于近期大家常提的??女友Joanne，他??有提到。?然少不了“世界和平”的大?，陶?通?台上大?幕“放”?子的?面??。
“?天而降”缺?意
??得最用心?是父母之?。台上大?幕在演出中?，播放一小段?于《?心?》（The Giving Tree）的故事，?述父母如故事中的老?，一生不??孩子付出的?私的?。演出?晚，陶?的父母及音?????隆的母?都有?，相信《?心?》的故事是?他?的一种感?。
演唱?惊奇不少。最缺?意的“惊奇”要?陶?“?天而降”的??，之前梁?茹、周杰?、蔡依林都用?同一招。最“自然”的惊喜是整?舞台布置成??雨林，台上?放了一架直升机，乍看??像舞台?《西?小姐》（Miss Saigon）的气派。在??雨林的背景下，陶?以一身白的服?出?，似有“森林王子”的用意。
合音天使多才多?
陶?的三名合音天使“?虎藏?”，多才多?，如在歌曲《月亮代表?的心》?伴奏二胡、《公保?丁》?唱?舌、《小?姑娘》?又伴舞又跟陶??唱，有?一般合音天使只是原地站?合音，陶?的合音天使忙得???。
?在流行??流行?合古典?，陶?的演唱?也跟上潮流。如《?我?是他》的弦?伴奏，《月亮代表?的心》的二胡伴奏，《Susan?》的小?、琵琶与笛子伴奏和《?子兵法》的二胡、琵琶与笛子伴奏等，?演唱?有?古色古香，可惜有?些古典?器伴奏的?候，它??被英式敲??的?量??，?果落得像“??”。

CONCERT REVIEW by Mervin Tay
David Tao Love Can World Tour
WHEN the show began on Saturday night,the campy stage props suggested David
Tao’s concert would be a pretentious affair.
The Singapore Indoor Stadium stage was peppered with faux granite blocks and
draped with foliage, with an actual helicopter at the centre, hinting that the visual
would take precedence over the vocal.
But the Taiwanese singer-songwriter quickly allayed those fears. For three
hours, David allowed his voice to take centrestage.
Performing over 30 songs, the 36-year-old — whose last concert here was
in 2003 — displayed his characteristic rich musical texture.
Belting out unplugged tunes like Regular Friends and rock pieces such as Ghost, to songs like Susan Said with Chinese influences, David also proved he
had the voice to match his repertoire’s varied genres.
The Singapore element featured prominently — the music director was Singaporean producer Goh Kheng Long, who accompanied David with a stunning piano solo on his performance of Beach. Two members of the eight-person string ensemble and two of David’s three backup singers were also locals.
The surprise of the night was a 10-song medley of 80s English hits including Uptown
Girl, Careless Whisper and Sweet Dreams(Are Made of These), which drew huge cheers from the capacity crowd.
At the post-show press conference,David said he sang the medley to whip up
an atmosphere of nostalgia, as well as to pay tribute to the classics that have influenced and inspired his career.
He also said the helicopter’s motorhad been stolen and its blade damaged during
transportation from Beijing — the concert’sprevious stop — to Singapore.
Otherwise, it could have providedmore visual effects.
That proved to be a blessing in disguise,because the audience instead focused on the man with the microphone, rather than the gimmicks around him, and David served up one of the most aurally- arresting Mandopop concerts of the year.

著名流行音樂歌手陶（吉吉）昨晚在新加坡室內體育館舉辦演唱會，輕快流暢節奏及多變的樂風，給了保守的新加坡歌迷全新的音樂感動，甚至自動站起來跟隨音樂一起舞動。陶（吉吉）在受到歌迷感動下，不顧新加坡政府罰款禁令，下台和歌迷握手互動。
陶（吉吉）晚間在新加坡室內體育館舉辦「陶（吉吉）就是愛你音樂驚奇之旅世界巡迴演唱會」，吸引了新加坡、中國、香港，甚至遠從日本趕來的歌迷買票聆聽，體育館的大概坐滿了九成。
一開始，陶（吉吉）從佈置成戰爭叢林的舞台上從天而降，高唱數首成名歌曲，立刻為演唱會帶來高潮。
為入境隨俗，陶（吉吉）也邀了新加坡本地的音樂人與和聲，利用POP、爵士、法國浪漫香頌等各種流行音樂元素，一起為演唱會的曲目添加色彩，同時還與一支演奏樂團進行一段不插電的演唱，接著又將三十歲以上族群熟悉的英文經典流行歌曲，串成有陶（吉吉）風格的音樂組曲，讓現場的歌迷愈來愈High！
由於新加坡政府過去要求演唱會的聽眾不能站起來隨音樂跳舞，雖然禁令已經放鬆，但新加坡歌迷已經被制約得在演唱會中乖乖坐在椅子上，但這次卻受不了陶（吉吉）的音樂誘惑，大部分的歌迷都主動站起來，跟著陶（吉吉）的音樂一起搖擺，揮舞光棒。
陶（吉吉）顯然受到新加坡歌迷熱情的鼓勵，不顧新加坡禁止演唱會歌手下台的罰款禁令，兩度下台和歌迷握手互動，也引來粉絲的瘋狂尖叫。
整場演唱會從晚間八點半不間歇地一直熱鬧持續到十二點，讓新加坡歌迷感受到台灣流行音樂的魅力。

i was electrocuted in sch on last mon during the break. his cold harsh eyes.. full of depressed.. wonder wat is wrong?? he do remind me of HEERO YUY of Gundam Wing. too bad i dunno him.. so..
lucky i din miss this concert. is worth every cents of it. his theme is seeking music in the tropical forest in the future 2061. beautifully decorated stage wif 2 coconut tress on e rite. the navy blue and green helicopter crushed in the middle of the stage. he landed the stage wif the wires fr the top of the stage instead of fr the usual which is the bottom of the stage.
DAVID TAO's concert is a MUST GO concert for me..
He "electrocuted" me wif his depressing facial expression and his seriousness when he sings / works. tt is true charm.. Release fr the inside out..
is forgetting ‘gong bao ji ding’lyric a sign of aging?? my gf says he has baby face so cannot feel and see it fr his appearance. same as me.. feeling like vomiting.. i so thick skinned. trying to pull r/s wif him mah.. heheha
As men age, some become more charming. He’s definitely one of these men.. in my eyes lah. i do hope my bf will be more man type and charming. no need to handsome lah.
but i must say his clothes this time is more special and has more variety. he even put Spore's national colour - red & white. he still look stunning. seldom see guys wear red jacket and pants and white shirt. More sets of clothes for this concert. is it because he become vain?? or more budget for warerobe?
i Realise he has long tongue when he stick it out when he did his unplugged session. think he forgot sth so he had tt expression..
maybe his chinese has deproved till thirsty become 渴口. i tot my ears were playing trick on me. then i turned to my gf wif doubts.. same for her. then both of burst into laughter.
had a preview of david tao concert.. on the left is david tan. [pics fr CM]
david tan is the 'he yin' angel and guitarist. he can really sing lor..got to noe his musical talent and singing skill. hw sang solo and more in the later part of the concert.
