Watched Khalil Fong's live performance twice this week. One during the Sina Music Award on Monday and tonight as well. He had his first concert in Hong Kong tonight in the Arts Centre. It was full house (though the Arts Centre's hall is pretty small actually) ... from what I observed, the audience really liked Khalil - the way he sang, performed and interacted with the audience.
Among the guests who went on stage (e.g. Fiona 薛凱琪, 農夫 and Andy Hui), I particularly liked Andy Hui who sang 大愛 with Khalil. 林夕 specially wrote some Putonghua lyrics of 大愛 for this concert so that Khalil was able to sing together with Andy Hui for the song. But this was the thing that I didn't understand ... he said he has a rule that he won't sing Cantonese songs ... I really don't understand ... though among the Chinese community, the Putonghua-speaking crowd is larger, it wouldn't be wise to forget about the majority of Hong Kong people who are able to help him establish a strong foothold in the Asian market ... so, I'm still wondering even now, anyway, I enjoyed the show very much ... probably the best show I've watched in these few years.
