Aaron Kwok De Show Reel Live Concert (Singapore) 2009
May 31, 2009 — Aaron Kwok, Aaron Kwok concert, Aaron Kwok De Show Reel concert, Aaron Kwok Live in Singapore, Aaron Kwok Singapore 2009 concert, Aaron Kwok Singapore concert, Heavenly Kings
I watched Aaron Kwok’s concert this weekend with Marlene. I almost didn’t get to catch this show because I thought I had accidentally thrown the tickets away when I disposed my unused Singapore International Filmfest tickets a few weeks ago. Luckily I had not claimed the tickets yet from Sistic so I didn’t need to be overly anxious.
Marlene & Me (sounds like a title of a movie)
Stunning show with elaborate production design — 450 degree revolving stage, costumes similar to Chinese adventure movies, awesome choreography. Aaron Kwok’s singing ability isn’t as great as Jay Chou or Wang Lee Hom but I’d forgive him as most of the time he was strutting on stage. I don’t understand Mandarin nor Cantonese anyway!
This is the 4th Mandarin (or Cantonese) show I’ve seen since moving to Singapore. It’s really fantastic that Singapore is usually one of the stops in a world tour for many artists. It’s just a matter of whether one has the time, money, or group of friends to actually catch concerts.
Aaron Kwok is the first every Chinese pop artist I knew and I remember first seeing him on Channel V or MTV many years back. The setting of the MTV was in a waterfall, etc. That’s all I can recall. The next Chinese artist I knew was Jacky Cheung — when he sang a duet with Regine Velasquez (Philippine artist).
Aaron Kwok and Jacky Cheung are regarded as two of the four (4) heavenly kings as they dominated the Asia music industry in the 90′s (the other two being Leon Lai and Andy Lau). That’s just some trivia I picked up somewhere.
Here are some photos from the concert :
Glittery start
Monkey bar action
450 degree revolving stage - one of the features of the concert
And just when people thought it was over, he comes out splashing water to the audience for the sake of art!

Hi there, I love this concert too! It was fabulous!! I agreed with you that his singing ability is not as great as Jay Chou or LiHom, but, none of them can dance as well as him…hehe….
