Staged Rivalry
TAIPEI - Taiwan's R&B princes Jay Chou and David Tao literally made a show of their so-called music rivalry on stage on Saturday - by turning it into the theme of their collaboration.
The two are said to be pop rivals, and the Taiwanese media love to compare them.
But, by showing the world that they are friends, the two finally sang on stage together in public, cheered on by 40,000 fans attending Jay's mammoth The One concert at a Taipei stadium.
Jay started with his own imterpretation of David's song, Finding Myself.
Later, when David appeared on stage, they started to sing - in rap style - David's song, Black Tangerine. At the climax, they even staged scenes of mock fist-fights with each other, Taipei reports say.
Hinting at the gossip about them, Jay ended the segment by comparing themselves to pieces on a chessboard, being manipulated by people.
Jay's gig was a much talked-about extravaganza, boasting of a seven-storey-high stage set, and scaffoldings.
The singer also wove his passion for basketball into the show. A giant prop of a basketball court was dropped onto the stage, and he mock-played the game with black players.
The singer also treated his fans with 12 costume changes.
His grand appearance was with a calvacade of motorcycles, and in a Star Wars-like suit, complete with a sabre.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am really glad everything had gone well for him, will keep a lookout for interviews and more reports on his concert review...... for those people in Singapore who haven't bought today's Straits Time, you can go and get it. The article in on second page of Life!, with a photo of him in his Ban Shou Ren costume......
Stay tuned
