My FM 11th Birthday Bash (myfm 星光11齐天外传 ) at Arena of Stars - 15 July 2009
This is the first time I've attended My Fm's Anniversary bash. In the past, I've never been bothered to join in the mad rush for the tickets but I'm making an exception this year because of FAMA. I reached Genting around 9.30 am. There was already a very long queue. Tempers flared coz some wanted to jump queue and all. Redemption is supposed to start at 12 noon. Luckily, I still managed to get tickets with seats. Those not so lucky ones ended-up with free standing tickets. Contrary to news reports and calls from My FM audience praising the show, I beg to differ. Many actually left the show half-way thru'. Jack Lim (who was in-charged of producing the show) and his team tried too hard to impress the audience. They squeezed-in too many "wow" factors into the show. They have actions(kung fu), stunts (motorcycle zooming down from the staircase),3D sound effect, very hi-tech (I think it's LED) screens, magic tricks, awareness and raising fund for the handicapped and not forgetting,"Journey to the West" storyline but too much of a good thing only serves to spoil the show,if not carefully executed. It's so out of place and just doesn't go with the flow. First of all, the make-up and costumes were downright ugly (okay, I can still stomach that) and the plot of "Journey to the West" ? The jokes were lame and storyline was downright shallow. Conclusion- it's damn BORING and the dee jays made a fool of themselves with their very "lan" gag. The saving grace of the night were of course, the singers themselves. Fama (农夫), Chin from Thailand, Tank, Claire (郭静), Victor Wong (品冠), Nicholas Teo (张栋梁), Suki (刘俗仪), Karen (龚柯允), Andrew Tan (陈势安), Hins Cheung, and Min ( Astro Star Quest 2009 champion). Everyone of them put up a great show ! Claire's songs were really pleasing to the ears and she looks even more attractive and kawai now compared to before.
