Joey's Starlight Promo at Genting









Diva Joey was in town to promote her forth coming "Starlight" concert. Malaysia happens to be the first leg of her world tour. I was so relieved that once again, Genting is the organizer and not "the other blood-sucking organizer" from KL. Outdoor venue and indoor stadium sucks. To me, the "Arena of Stars" is and will be the best place to hold concerts. Apart from promoting her concert, she also took time to sign autographs. Joey looks so sweet and radiant in pink outfit - "mai yan pink lady"! Too bad, the session was too short !
Right after this event, I went off to Joey's "siu see mui", Vincy's maiden concert. Genting distributed lots of her free tickets to make-up the numbers. Better than performing to an empty hall, right ? My friend spared me a free tix. I believe almost 70% of the crowd that turned-up for her concert got the tickets for free. It was certainly a misjudgement for Genting. Vincy is still too "fresh" and her hit songs are only a handful. To her credit, Vincy did put-in a lot of effort in this concert. Clearly, her forte lies in ballad. Her voice drowns completely when singing fast numbers. With Twins heading for splitsville, I guess EEG is pretty keen to promote Vincy. Afterall, can't depend on solely on Joey,"the-money-tree". As predicted, Joey made time for Vincy's concert, too. Joey was waving her "glow stick" and swaying along to Vincy's songs. Kenny Kwan,Vincy's guest singer, even poked fun at Joey. She didn't stay for long. Left after a few songs. The next day, Joey headed back to HK to participate in the "512 Sichuan charity show."
