先来贴david今天唱过的英文组曲
彩色的部分是david所唱的

Under Pressure
by Queen


Pressure pushing down on me, pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure, that burns a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets


It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming... let me out!
Pray tomorrow, takes me higher
Pressure on people, People on streets

Chipping around, kick my brains round the floor
These are the days, It never rains but it pours
People on streets, People on streets

It's the terror of knowing, what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming... let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher, higher, higher
Pressure on people, People on streets

Turned away from it all, Like a blind man
Sat on a fence, but it don't work
Keep coming up with love, But it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Love, love, love, love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love?
Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?

Cos' love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you, to care for people on the edge of the night
And love dares you, to change our way of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance, this is our last dance
This is ourselves, under pressure
Under pressure, pressure


Kiss
by Prince


Uh!

U don't have 2 be beautiful 2 turn me on
I just need your body, baby, from dusk till dawn
U don't need experience 2 turn me out
U just leave it all up 2 me, I'm gonna show U what it's all about

CHORUS:
U don't have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don't have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your . . . . . kiss


U got 2 not talk dirty, baby, if U wanna impress me
U can't be 2 flirty, mama, I know how 2 undress me (Yeah)
I want 2 be your fantasy, maybe U could be mine
U just leave it all up 2 me, we could have a good time

CHORUS

Yes, oh
I think I wanna dance, uh
Gotta, gotta, oh
Little Girl Wendy's Parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta

Women, not girls, rule my world, I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama, not your shoe size, maybe we could do the twirl
U don't have 2 watch Dynasty 2 have an attitude, uh
U just leave it all up 2 me, my love will be your food (Yeah)

U don't have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don't have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm compatible with!
I just want your extra time and your kiss


Sweet Child O’ Mine
by Guns ‘n’ Roses


She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine


Rosanna
by Toto


All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see you eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be

Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say

[Chorus:]
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna


I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna

All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say

[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Not quite a year since she went away,
Who is it? Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say

[Repeat chorus]

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna


Shout
by Tears For Fears


Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are things I can do without
Come On
I'm talking to you
Come on


In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Shout
They gave you life
And in return you gave them them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
Shout


Hard To Say I'm Sorry
by Chicago


Everybody needs a little time away
I've heard her say
From each other

Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
And after all that you've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise you, baby

And after all thats been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go


Couldn't stand to be kept away
Not for a day
From your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away awaaaaaaaay
Far away from the one that I love

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go

And after all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise you

And after all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go

I can't let go.


True
by Spandeu Ballet


So true funny how it seems
always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul,
this is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world,
but now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line
Oh I want the truth to be said

Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
I know this much is true
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
I know this much is true


With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin (all night long)
This is the sound of my soul,
this is the sound

Always slipping from my hands,
sand's a time of its own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh I want the truth to be known

Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
I know this much is true
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
I know this much is true

I bought a ticket to the world,
but now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line
Oh I want the truth to be said

Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
I know this much is true
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
I know this much is true
This much is true
I know, I know, I know this much is true


Careless Whispers
by Wham!


Time can never mend the careless whispers, of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth         
Pain is all you'll find

Should've known better

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you


Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
That you had to leave me alone
        

Every Time You Go Away
by Paul Young


Hey!, if we can solve any problem
Then why do we lose so many tears
Oh, and so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing
Can't you see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you


Go on and go free, yeah;
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel your body move
It doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on sayin' the same thing
Just can't you see, we've got everything do you even know we know

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you, oh
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

I can't go on sayin' the same thing
'Cause baby, cancha see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you


Sweet Dreams
by Eurythmics


Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused


Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

I wanna use you and abuse you
I wanna know what's inside you
(Whispering) Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Movin' on!

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

I'm gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside
Gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside you


Uptown Girl
by Billy Joel


Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why

I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind

She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl

You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice

Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win

And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine

She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With and uptown girl

She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl

Hope everyone who attended the show last night, enjoyed themselves.

[Concert began @ 8.35pm]
1. Rain- Zhao Zi Ji
2. Shanghaied- Jin Tian Bu Hui Jia
3. Airport 1030- Fei Ji Chang De Shi Dian Ban (still my #1 favourite
to listen to when DT sings it live during concerts)
4. Who Do You Love- Ai Wo Hai Shi Ta

5. Break: David talks about the accompanying string section which
comprises of young members from Singapore and China

6. Moon Represents Whose Heart- Yue Liang Dai Biao Shei De Xin
7. Let's Fall in Love- Tao Yan Hong Lou Meng
* DT encouraged audience to stand up during this song

8. Break: David talks about his band and jokes abt Kewei's name, as
her name Tay Kewei, sounds like "take away".

9. Runaway: David says this is a song about chasing your dreams

10. David goes off stage to change costume

11. Video played of David narrating a story (in Mandarin) about an
apple tree and a young boy. Very very interesting to hear DT telling
a story actually- cool! Story line: A young boy was friends with an
apple tree. 1 day, the boy told the tree: i need some $. The apple
tree then said : you can take the apples from my tree and sell them
away, as the tree wanted the boy to be happy. Some years later, the
boy who had grown up to be a young man, came to the tree again and
told the tree: i am feeling lonely. The tree then tells him: you can
use my wood and build a boat to explore the world. Even though that
meant sacrificing himself again, the tree was happy to make the boy happy.

Many years later, the young man had grown to become an old man, went
to visit the tree again, now reduced to a stump. The tree asked the
man what he wanted this time, the man said: i am just tired and want
to sit down. so the tree let him sit on his roots. the man then told
the tree: i have a bag of seeds. at this point, he then discovered
the tree had died. The man then scatters the seeds on the ground and
a new tree grows. End of video.

* ps: i may have got some parts of the story a bit "wrong" so please
correct me! would really appreciate that.. :) and if you could, could
someone enlighten me abt the ending? hmmmmm.

12. Kheng Long solo piano performance, then David appears to sing
Blue Moon- Sha Tan
Tuberose- Ye Lai Xiang
Spring Wind- Wang Chun Feng

13. Lisa then sings a French song La Vie En Rose and DT jokes "is that Spanish?"
(Note: I'll talk abt Lisa later. made a big discovery last night!)

14. Everything's Gone- Liu Sha
15. Angel.

After singing Angel, DT then says he is thirsty but he said he is "Ke
Kou" (which is delicious in Mandarin!) instead of "Kou Ke" (=
thirsty). DT didn't even realise he said the wrong thing- HA!
Percussionist Mat Noor then appears and presents DT with a bottle of
water and says he is the Water Boy.

16. Susan Said- Su San Shuo (i like this too! :)
17. Small Town Girl- Xiao Zhen Gu Niang (a close battle with Airport
1030 to be my personal favourite "live concert" song).
18. Melody. David said he actually had no intentions of singing this
song (before he sang it) but sang it because of the SG fans :)

19. David then whips out his guitar and sings Seasons of Loneliness-
Ji Mo De Ji Jie. The violin prelude was real splendid.

20. Costume change.

21. Er Hu and Di Zi (i think!) preludes to Ghost- Gui.
22. Black Tangerine- Hei Se Liu Ding
23. Art of War- Sun Zi Bing Fa (nice!)

24. Break: DT finally STOPS and engages in more talk with the
audience. looking for fans from overseas etc. He also mentions that he
hopes there will be an opportunity for him to hold a smaller-scale
performance in SG where he can get closer to the fans.

25. Close to You- Tian Tian. Like in 2003, David also comes down the
stage while singing this song and shakes hands with the audience!

26. Unplugged section with Mat Noor (who was just using the box he was
sitting on, as an instrument! wow!!), Jaime and David Tan
- Ordinary Friends: Pu Tong Peng You
- Twenty two: Er Shi Er
- Fated: Wu Yuan

27. Kung Pao Chicken- Gong Bao Ji Ding
28. My Anata

29. Singapore special: English oldies medley (as compiled by Reb)
- Under Pressure by Queen
- Kiss by Prince
- Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'n' Roses
- Rosanna by Toto
- Shout by Tears for Fears
- Hard To Say I'm Sorry by Chicago
- True by Spandeu Ballet
- Careless Whispers by Wham!
- Every Time You Go Away by Paul Young
- Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics
- Uptown Girl by Billy Joel

30. Break: David talks abt praying with the band backstage before the
concert begun. He said that there are some people who may not have the
opportunity to come and watch concerts and adds Christmas is coming,
season of giving and hopes his songs will continue to give strength to
people who hear them

31. Dear God
32. I Love You (DT solo on piano)- Ai Hen Jian Dan

33. Break: shouting for Encore

34. Bastard- Wang Ba Dan

35. Break: Thank you speech (band, crew, organizers, friends & family)

36. Butterfly- Hu Die

37. Love Can- Jiu Shi Ai Ni
[Concert ended @ 11.20pm]

Read the difference in show rundown with reference to Mark's earlier
reviews of the concerts in Beijing & Shanghai

Beijing http://www.davidtao.com/_forum/viewtopic.php?t=6956
Shanghai http://www.davidtao.com/_forum/viewtopic.php?t=6648

For those who would like to leave your opinions of the SG concert for
David to read, please post at this thread at dt.com forum..


not sure if there will be a separate thread created by Mark for his SG
concert review? :)

among all the things i observed, i will just voice out 1 major
complaint i had: a beautiful stage set-up but photography was
surprisingly super duper prohibited. a really big let-down.

anyway, it was fantastic to hear DT sing live, especially when his
voice and condition are in top form. just brilliant! :)

and yes, last but not least, when David mentioned that Lisa could
speak French well (at #13), it suddenly hit me that THIS WAS THE Lisa
who had previously cut an album in Taiwan some years ago! and I
remember her very well because the publicity of that album was often
focused on Lisa having stayed in France before and being able to speak
fluent French! If i am not wrong, Lisa was also nominated in the
following year's Taiwan Golden Melody Awards (Jin Qu Jiang) for Best
Newcomer award (which I can't remember who won eventually).

陶喆演唱感動粉絲 獅城歌迷隨樂舞動
  
【中央社 】


(中央社記者康世人新加坡二十七日專電)著名流行音樂歌手陶喆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。陶喆在受到歌迷感動下,不顧新加坡政府罰款禁令,下台和歌迷握手互動。

陶喆晚間在新加坡室內體育館舉辦「陶喆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,陶喆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,陶喆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,串成有陶喆風格的音樂組曲,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,但這次卻受不了陶喆的音樂誘惑,大部分的歌迷都主動站起來,跟著陶喆的音樂一起搖擺,揮舞螢光棒。

陶喆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。

陶喆獅城慶賀爸媽結婚36年
  
【中時電子報 】

賴怡鈴/台北報導陶喆前晚在新加坡開唱,已看過上海演唱會(新聞、網站)的陶爸陶媽特別前往捧場,因一家三口約好要在新加坡慶祝陶爸陶媽結婚36周年紀念;陶喆在演唱會結束後在新加坡多停留一天,帶著父母吃飯逛街,溫馨地共享天倫樂。

繼在上海、北京演出後,陶喆巡迴演唱會行程走到新加坡。前晚在Indoor Stadium的演出吸引上萬歌迷,他一口氣演唱代表作「找自己」、「今天沒回家」、「愛我還是他」、「黑色柳丁」、「普通朋友」等,讓歌迷High翻天,跟著他唱和;而在他換上低V領紅西裝演唱抒情歌時,胸肌若隱若現,更讓粉絲尖叫連連。

為了給新加坡歌迷一些不一樣的節目,陶喆特別準備了11首80年代經典英文歌曲的組曲,包括皇后合唱團與大衛鮑伊的「Under Pressure」、槍與玫瑰的「Sweet Child o’Mine」、王子的「Kiss」、芝加哥合唱團的「Hard to Say I’m Sorry」等等,讓台下歌迷全都跟著旋律起舞。

陶喆在上海用上海話Rap、在北京唱京劇、在新加坡唱英文組曲,明年1月21日在台北巨蛋的演出,也要給台灣歌迷的特別表演,不過他至今未構思完整,「每天都有很多想法在腦子裡轉,可能唱台語歌、可能用台語Rap,也有人建議我唱歌仔戲,都不錯,都可以考慮看看。」

David Tao hits all the right (and high) notes
Concert Review by Mervin Tay
David Tao Love Can World Tour
Singapore Indoor Stadium


David Tao hits all the right (and high) notes
Concert Review by Mervin Tay David Tao Love Can World Tour Singapore Indoor Stadium

WHEN the show began on Saturday night, David Tao's concert suggested it was going to a pretentious affair with the campy stage props.
.
The stage was draped in faux granite blocks and foliage, with a full-sized helicopter at the centre, hinting that the visual was going to take precedence over the vocal.
.
But 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.
.
From unplugged tunes like Regular Friends and rock pieces such as Ghost to songs with Chinese influences like Susan Said, 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 during his performance of Beach. Two members of an eight-person string ensemble and two of David's three back up singers are also locals.
.
The surprise of the night was a 10-song medley of 80s' English including Uptown Girl, Careless Whisper and Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These), drawing huge cheers from the capacity crowd.
.
At the post-show press conference, David said the medley was to whip up an atmosphere of nostalgia, as well as pay tribute to the classics that have influenced and inspired his career.
.
He also said the helicopter's motor was stolen and its blade damaged during transportation from Beijing – the concert's previous stop – to Singapore.
.
Otherwise, it could have provided more visual effects.
.
That proved to be a blessing in disguise because the audience 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.

The surprise of the night was a 10-song medley of 80s' English including Uptown Girl, Careless Whisper and Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These), drawing huge cheers from the capacity crowd.
.
At the post-show press conference, David said the medley was to whip up an atmosphere of nostalgia, as well as pay tribute to the classics that have influenced and inspired his career.
.
He also said the helicopter's motor was stolen and its blade damaged during transportation from Beijing – the concert's previous stop – to Singapore.
.
Otherwise, it could have provided more visual effects.
.
That proved to be a blessing in disguise because the audience 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.

The Tao of love


By Tay Suan Chiang

CONCERT
DAVID TAO LOVE CAN WORLD TOUR 2005
Singapore Indoor Stadium
Last Saturday




Now you know how he hits the high notes: Tao used very thick underwear so that the harness didn't hurt him.


TAIWANESE R&B singer David Tao is grateful that his Singapore fans are a well-behaved bunch.

At his concert last Saturday, a fan grabbed his waist as he went down to the front-row seats to mingle with the audience.

'If this was in Beijing, I would have had my trousers pulled down. Singaporeans are more restrained,' he said with a sigh of relief at the post-concert press conference.

Still, he enjoys the attention as it brings him closer to the audience, he said. 'Anywhere is okay, just no grabbing at my private parts,' he added with a laugh.

Not that he would have exposed himself even if caught with his pants down.

Tao, 36, was wearing very thick underwear at his concert. This was necessary, he said, as he was strapped to a harness for his opening act, which saw him being lowered from the ceiling.

'The harness cuts into the flesh, and wearing thick underwear makes it more comfortable,' he said.

He had the audience screaming when he did two somersaults in mid-air before landing on the stage.

It was clear that the 8,000-strong crowd - including fans from China, Hong Kong and Japan - could not get enough of him. Tao's parents were among them: Dad had flown in from Taipei, and Mum from Shanghai.

He was in top form, his voice going strong throughout the nearly three-hour concert.

Raised in Los Angeles, Tao has released four albums in his eight-year career. Already, his musical talent has led the media in Taiwan to dub him the 'godfather of R&B'.

Fans would tell you he has looks to boot, too.

His four costume changes at the concert showed off his trim frame and firm biceps as he belted out more than 20 hits. These included Ghost, Susan Said and Who Do You Love?, taken from his latest album, The Great Leap 2005.

He also sang Butterfly, a popular request among local fans.

He had written the song as a devotional piece to God, but rarely performs it live because the lyrics are difficult to remember, he said in an earlier interview.

He sailed through the song without any effort.

There was another treat for fans: a medley of 1980s English hits such as George Michael's Careless Whisper, Tears For Fears' Shout and Billy Joel's Uptown Girl.

Those aged below 30 would not know these songs, he quipped, but said he wanted to sing them anyway as he knew they would love it.

And they did, going by the applause and the number of people who got up to dance to the music.

Those who cannot get enough of him will have to wait for his next album, which he is working on now. 'It should be ready in the early half of next year,' he promised before calling it a night.

陶喆演唱会
  惊喜中欠创意

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


● 黄靖晶报道

  台湾创作歌手陶喆上周末在室内体育馆举行的“就是爱你音乐惊奇之旅”演唱会,有多层次的“爱”,也设计许多惊喜,比较两年前在新加坡首次举行“Soul Power Live”演唱会,“就是爱你”更精彩。

以歌曲“Melody”谢罪

  演唱会有各式“爱”的表现。陶喆为了表达对歌迷的爱,两次冒着被歌迷“非礼”的危险跳下台跟歌迷握手,吓得他上台后说:“好恐怖!”。跟“爱情”较有关系的是当陶喆唱跟前女友Melody同名歌曲“Melody”,他“暧昧”地说,原本不会唱这首歌,但为了“惩罚”自己低估本地歌迷的热情程度,就以这首歌谢罪。

至于近期大家常提的绯闻女友Joanne,他则没有提到。当然少不了“世界和平”的大爱,陶喆通过台上大银幕“放”鸽子的画面传达。

“从天而降”缺创意

  设计得最用心则是父母之爱。台上大银幕在演出中间,播放一小段关于《爱心树》(The Giving Tree)的故事,讲述父母如故事中的老树,一生不断为孩子付出的无私的爱。演出当晚,陶喆的父母及音乐总监吴庆隆的母亲都有来,相信《爱心树》的故事是对他们的一种感谢。

  演唱会惊奇不少。最缺创意的“惊奇”要属陶喆“从天而降”的开场,之前梁静茹、周杰伦、蔡依林都用过同一招。最“自然”的惊喜是整个舞台布置成热带雨林,台上摆放了一架直升机,乍看还蛮像舞台剧《西贡小姐》(Miss Saigon)的气派。在热带雨林的背景下,陶喆以一身白的服饰出场,似有“森林王子”的用意。

合音天使多才多艺

  陶喆的三名合音天使“卧虎藏龙”,多才多艺,如在歌曲《月亮代表谁的心》时伴奏二胡、《公保鸡丁》时唱饶舌、《小镇姑娘》时又伴舞又跟陶喆对唱,有别一般合音天使只是原地站着合音,陶喆的合音天使忙得团团转。

  现在流行乐坛流行结合古典乐,陶喆的演唱会也跟上潮流。如《爱我还是他》的弦乐伴奏,《月亮代表谁的心》的二胡伴奏,《Susan说》的小锣、琵琶与笛子伴奏和《孙子兵法》的二胡、琵琶与笛子伴奏等,让演唱会有点古色古香,可惜有这些古典乐器伴奏的时候,它们却被英式敲击乐的声量盖过,结果落得像“点缀”。
