Live n Loud KL 2007
Accoustic Nite

Sorry for the delay.. i wasn't in the mood of blogging for the past couple of days.. been very very lazy to update.. anyway, here are some stories on LnL KL 2007.. this one is for Accoustic Nite featuring Dayang Nurfaizah, Rick Price & James Morrison held at KL Convention Centre..

I went there for obvious reason - Dayang.. although dah selalu tgk dia perform, and almost all of the songs performed that night i've already heard her sing live, but it's not always that you get a chance to see your favourite artiste performing alongside international singers.. plus, i believe the venue, sound system & everything are of international standard, so the satisfactory level must be higher.. so i think it's worth the money la.. and Rick Price & James Morrison aren't bad either..!! these two are equally amazing performers..!!

So the show kicked off with Dayang as the opening act.. she sang Kasih as the opening number followed by Hurt made popular by Christina Aguilera.. i've heard her sing this song a couple of times, but inarguably this was the best version ever..!! then she sang 3 of my favourite Stevie Wonder songs - Overjoyed, My Cherie Amour and You Are The Sunshine Of My Life.. Before closing her half hour set with Dayang Sayang Kamu, she entertained the crowd with Hilang given a jazz twist arranged by her genius musical director, Jenny Chin..

Of course, kalau nak diikutkan mmng rasa sgt tak puas coz it was only a half hour set, but that was all that they gave her and she made the most of it.. and she tackled the crowd effortlessly.. her communication skills improved by the days.. good for her.. and Dayang was cutely dressed in a knee-length sparkling dress designed by Syaiful Baharim..

Rick Price took centre stage as the 2nd act.. there is only one Rick Price song that i know of which i believe applies to everyone else.. the song is none other than Heaven Knows.. so after he finished the first 3 or 4 songs, i was hoping the next one would be Heaven Knows coz i know that when he sings the song, it will be the closing number.. not that i don't like his performances, just that the songs weren't familiar to my ears so it's a bit difficult to enjoy his performance.. But undeniably, Price is very talented singer & musician.. his vocals are awesome, it's amazing how he could maintain that same voice we heard years and years ago (unlike that one particular diva!) up until today.. owh, and his cover of Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me is probably one of the best rendition of that song i've ever heard of..

Finally, the stage is all James Morrison's.. most people i believe bought the tickets just to watch him perform.. i've no idea where his fans came from.. i never realised Morrison is that huge here in Malaysia.. of course i know his popular songs, and i also listen to his album which is amazing, but i never expected the tremendous support he'll get for the show..

Throughout the entire performance, the girls went wild and kept yelling "We love you James!" time and time again.. nak kata handsome, from my eyes i don't really think so.. but after i watched him perform live before my eyes, now i understand why.. ppl (esp. girls) just melt listening him throw his amazing vocals out loud.. yes, he has such incredible vocal pipes.. even i was impressed..!! he sang all his hits from his debut album, Undiscovered as well as several covers.. after he sang his last number, the crowd screamed & yelling begging for an encore.. of course, he abode by singing My Last Goodbye..

All in all, this was an amazing show.. all three performers delivered extremely well.. i'm glad i came & it's definitely worth the ticket price..!! And thanks to Jinggo for these wonderful pics.. all of us forgot to bring along our cameras, bummer..!!
