Jay Chou The Era World Tour 2010
This is probably the most anticipated concert of the year. I mean, after all, it had set a national record of being the fastest selling concert in history. Internet jammed just 30 minutes after the opening sales. Within 2 hours, all 10000 tickets are snapped up. This is including people queuing at Sistic outlets as well, which one told me after 5 hours of queuing still didn’t manage to get any ticket. This happened for all 3 sessions of his concert. Illegally, ticket prices soared to a record high of SGD$2500 per ticket on online sites.
That is Asia’s Prince Of Pop I’m talking about.

I think he rightfully deserve the accolades after watching the concert. And I can dare say that because I too have watched his Shanghai’s concert. I can see he really puts in effort to do his best and making sure he shuffles his song list, adding different songs in different concert to cater to the local fans. During his concert, he puts in 100% despite having toured around China before his Singapore stop where he did 3 nights of concert in a row. I have only one word for my idol: RESPECT.
Jay’s concert this time was complete different from the previous few. For one he emphasised a lot on visual effects this time round. Not only, he is the first Asian artiste I see that uses such technology. His piano was also custom made for this concert. Throughout the concert he managed to make the crowd high, stopping in between to interact and crack a joke or two with the fans.
The surprise of the concert was his guest artiste who was not his guest artiste. Stefanie Sun was at the concert and during his song 想你就写信,the camera man suddenly zooms into Stefanie and soon after he mixed his song into Stefanie’s 眼泪成诗,sending the crowd into a frenzy.
The only disappointing part of the concert is the special guest artistes which are all the same through the entire tour, except the one in Taiwan where pop diva Jolin starred. Lara, who was present also didn’t sing the famous 珊瑚海 which the crowd had been expecting.
Overall it’s a great concert. It’s definitely worth watching. And I’m saying this as someone who went to watch after 48 hours of no sleep. Lol.
