Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Due to overwhelming response all over the world, we have decided to keep the show running (whether u like it or not =p)
In this special second edition, TJChoir literally steals the Limelight at the Theatres on the Bay.
Since it has only been a day since our last show, nothing much has happened in the whole wide world amond 6.5 billion humans and a few other organism we share the earth with. And hence we are unashamed of our lack of updates. So with nothing more interesting than the weather, we shall end this episode with the weather!
Last night, the TJChoir staged an unsuccesful attempt of collapsing the Esplanade Concert Hall as their voices were too good to bring the house down. They were even seen leaving the stage several times as they expected the roof to fall, but to the audience's relief, they came back and tried even harder to bring the house down. Suffice to say, it did not collapse and our reporter managed to get out unharmed.
Arriving glamourously in a cab, our reporter was there early to be treated to a totally new kind of art. The un-understandable. Yes, many have seen such pieces before, but nothing could beat the head of an eagle and the onion of a mosque on a "dacing". Perplexed, our reporter just moved on.
There was an Upbeat performance, by, none other than that world-famous acapella group, Upbeat. Who? Our reporter thought likewise. But they were definitely more than decent. After collecting secret documents from the staff, we were introduced to the grand hall itself.
Accoustically brilliant, aesthetically, wanting. The roof had holes for wires which made some think that ooze would just drip out halfway. Also, the retractable chandelier looked sort of like an engine turbine. Perhaps the Esplanade is actually a huge Durian Transformer which can transform into an aircraft, though with only one engine.
The seats were designed specially to keep you awake as there is no headrest, other than the solid thump u hear when an audience sitting beside our reporter tried to lean back. That's Zhiyuan. Apparently her brain isn't empty cuz it actually sounded like it hurt.
Apart from the sound of that headbanging reverberating through the hall, the accoustics carried the choir beautifully, as they came on stage, to a relatively rapturous applause.
Singing "I Am Spring" (please translate into foreign language yourself), they openedrather nicely to our tonedeaf reporter. Why did we send a tonedeaf reporter? Cuz we're severely understaffed at the moment. Applicants can send their resume to the tagboard at http://kensw87.blogspot.com/.
Back to our feature of the day, the emcee of the day couldn't have been featured any less. Trying to blend in with the concert hall with the dullest dress ever, and trying to hide but forgetting to come out at the correct time (and claiming she wasn't asleep) didn't help to improve her image. Apart from the beautifully crafted script which she (must have) murdered (out of jealousy), she contributed nothing more than to fill the air with soundwaves to that the audience could speak to each other without standing out in the hall with superb accoustics.
There were a few pieces which our reported heard in previous concerts, but they were very well sung today. Among the crowd favourites were Miniwanka (Momens of Water) and their encore piece. However, it was quite obvious the crowd wasn't one that fully appreciated choral music as laughters and sniggers were weaved into Miniwanka (without the conductor's consent) as the choir did lip thrills. While the crowd managed to behave in a civilized manner, their true colours showed towards the end with people Swee Liang, Bryant, Trinity, Valerian from the row the reporter was seating in started to shout encore rather... well... ... shall avoid defaming them.
Overall it was a good concert, but the choir members were busy hiding themselves after the concert which made the post concert a little draggy. But all in all, the $11 was a bargain for a night of music and lime (flashlights only for Xiao Chun and Shi Yun)
Now, for the weather report. It has been reported that Singaporeans can now save electricty by not using aircons to cool rooms, or fridges to make ice. But we do anyway. The headquarters of KenNews might have fallen to sub zero levels with the air-conditioning at full blast amid cats and dogs screaming down the windows. (Imagine that...) Also, it was a chilly night after the concert as Gelare's ice-cream waffles were attracting people at half-price. Chilly weather continues as the Global Warming takes a much needed holiday. Global Warming will be back to haunt us when just are about to start that PE lesson or when we plan to walk to the interchange. Don't forget to say hi to it's twin, the scorching sun when it comes by
That's all for this mini second special edition of KenNews. Today's report was brought to you by Zsa Zsa, Zhiyuan, Yingen, Julie, Soon Li, Xiao Chun, Shi Yun, Carian, Trinity, Bryant, Swee Liang, Valerian, Evelyn, Michael, Ke Yang, and the many others at Limelight 2007.
