#TONG HUA FAIRYTALE MOVIE#

He engaged the audience’s mood and really took time to explain the meaning behind each songs he wrote.Īnd that’s the thing I like about artists who write their own songs. Despite him possessing the dancing skills of a cupboard, I reckon Guang Liang handled the stage really well. Guang Liang is very much an average joe who haven’t yet grown into some pretentious mega-bitch superstar. Now I know how those girls at the Backstreet Boys concert last month must be feeling. Sorry mate but you came eight years too late. But alas… its just too bad so sad that Guang Liang and I met at the right place, at the wrong time. It might’ve been different if you ask me eight years ago when I would listen to his songs every single day. I didn’t go crazy over Guang Liang of course.

Its also the soundtrack of a movie of the same name. Xiang zhuo jou xiang you jou (Walk towards the left, walk towards the right). Of course that’s not needed because the hundreds of screaming schoolgirls effectively ‘gerengteed’ that I lose my hearing next morning.

His first number was ‘Ji de wo ai ni’, an up-tempo song designed to get the sleepy crowd all fired up. 🙂Īfter some excruciatingly long and horrijible pre-show program, which included the host trying to get the crowd to sing-a-long to Guang Liang’s songs, the man boy himself finally graced the stage at around 8:00pm – about an hour after the scheduled start. Note to self: Next time, get a digital SLR camera and wear a khaki vest. Anyone lugging a big heavy camera could pretend to be a reporter and sneaked in easily. I could see that the VIP area was quite poorly managed because there were no guest list, no special tags or whatever. The area closest to the stage was cordoned off for reporters and big-balled VIPs. The showcase was held in a multi-purpose hall fit for 3,000 people in Kenyalang Park. Me: DUH! I thought this is Tan Ah Beng’s concert. Guang Liang: Hello everyone, my name is Guang Liang. I was expecting loads of boring pre-show games, listening to the host repeatedly reminding us to buy the CDs, then the star coming out to sing two songs max, sign some autographs to make us happy then go home to sleep with his stuffed toys. The obligatory time-wasting boring-as-hell pre-show games that ONLY the host himself seemed to enjoyĪnyway after experiencing the disaster that was the David Tao Kuching Showcase last month, I didn’t have my hopes up. Besides, Ping Guan sounded like Penguin and you wouldn’t buy an album from a penguin would you? I don’t know what happened to Ping Guan’s singing but it just wasn’t good enough. That said, Guang Liang is still arguably the more successful of the original duo. Honestly, their solo albums so far were nothing to shout about as I still find myself listening to their old albums. Whatever their reason for splitting was, I hope its not because they think they’re gonna earn TWICE as much money by producing TWICE as many albums separately. Kinda like Hugh Hefner without viagra really.

Its too bad that after they decided to go solo, the quality of their songs just seems to go down, down and down. In fact I loved them so much I owned every single one of their albums. Before they split, ‘Guang Liang Ping Guan’ produced some of the best Mandarin ballads at the time. Khidmat Negara… join the armed forces TODAY!įor those unfamiliar with this Malaysian music artist, Guang Liang aka Michael Wong was once one-half of a very successful duo called ‘Guang Liang Ping Guan’ (Michael+Victor). Malaysian Armed Forces: Directing traffic since 2005. But of course… I wouldn’t say anything bad about him because when I was a teenager and some girl I liked broke my heart, I would listen to his songs and cry myself to sleep. I agree Guang Liang is a bit of a poofter with nothing but a skinny-ass and a high-pitch voice. “OMG Kenny, you went to see Guang Liang? What’s wrong with you?! HE’S SO GAYYYY!!!11“ I wasn’t planning on going initially as I didn’t have tickets, but I stole it from some fat kid bought a spare one from some kid for RM10. A little bird told me that Guang Liang was in town this past Sunday for a concert showcase.
