To
mark her 20th anniversary in showbiz, Cantopop diva Kelly Chen held
her “Let’s celebrate” concert in HK coliseum last Dec. Local fans finally got a
taste of Kelly’s smashing showmanship during the Malaysia stop of “Let’s
Celebrate” tour in Genting. It has been a long 11 years since Kelly last
performed on our shores. My previous encounter with her was back in 2012, during the grand opening of Paradigm mall.
I
have always had a soft spot for Kelly and her songs, ranging from mushy sentimental
tracks to Mark Lui’s catchy techno compositions. Kelly looks so slender,
captivating and barely aged a day !! Still such a ravishing beauty at 44 ! This
concert is undoubtedly a memorable one, not only for her supporters but
specifically, for Kelly as well. Coincidently, Kelly’s concert was just 2 days
away from her birthday. A short video clip was aired, showing fans from around
the world showering Kelly with birthday wishes. This was followed by a live
mass birthday song sing-a-long. Kelly was clearly touched. Later, Kelly shared
in her FB page, a photo of the famous durian cake made by renowned bakery,
Moonlight. The concert was not spared
from the recent pokemon rage. A clip of Kelly evolving to “Kellymon” (Pokemon)
flashed on the big screen and out of a blue, a fan suddenly threw a pokeball
plushie at Kelly (who obviously caught it) ! That was really rib-tickling and
innovative ! Kelly also expressed her delight in catching heaps of Pokemons in her
hotel room. Mark Lui was the musical
director for this concert and his first time in Malaysia. Kelly also gave a
beautiful and flawless rendition of “Rasa Sayang”, a Malay song.
Due
to the HK concert stage structure, Kelly was not able to shake hands
with members of the audience but got the opportunity to do so in Malaysia. Kelly displayed
nifty foot work during the intro of her new song – “Let’s celebrate”. When
Kelly performed the crowd favourite techno medley, enthusiastic fans were on
their feet ! During the encore session, fans sang along with Kelly when she
performed 誰願放手and ended the concert with a
duet with Mark Lu 紀念日 (minus the just married
Stephen Fung, of course).
