Leehom’s Rousing Show in M’sia

Wang Leehom’s Heroes of Earth show was everything a concert should be ... and more.
Fantastic ... brilliant ... mind-blowing ... wonderful ... magnificent! There are plenty of adjectives that could be used to describe Wang Leehom’s out-of-this-world Heroes of Earth concert. In fact, if you were among the 25,000 screaming fans at National Stadium Bukit Jalil on Sunday night, you would know what all the fuss was about. It was an affair not to be missed even if you were not a fan.
Heroes of Earth, presented by Celcom with Galaxy Group as organiser, was everything a concert should be – entertaining, fun, good music, great vocals – and it was well worth every sen paid, especially if you were in the RM353 seats. Fans got to shake his hands and even touch him!
From the word go, Wang was in his element, delivering an impeccable performance that lasted over two hours. There was not a note out of tune, a line forgotten or a missed cue.
The man was basically on fire and had fans eating out of his hands. Every nuance, every gesture had them clamouring for more. When he removed his jacket, the entire stadium erupted into a deafening roar. When he serenaded his classic power ballads like Yong Yuan De Di Yi Tian (Forever the First Day), Ai De Jiu Shi Ni (You are the One I Love) and Kiss Goodbye, female fans sang along with him as if trying to soothe his heartache.
He started the show with the rousing Gai Shi Ying Xong (Heroes of Earth), Fang Kai Ni De Xin (Open Your Heart) and Ai Ni Deng Yu Ai Zi Ji (Loving You Means Loving Me) that had some excited fans up on their feet, dancing and swaying, while others were content to remain in their seats, hollering. Dressed in a resplendent yellow traditional Chinese outfit, Wang looked so handsome, albeit a little too slender. His boyish good looks definitely set quite a few hearts a-flutter that night.
Wang revealed that it’s been six months since he has dabbled in any music, as he has been busy filming Ang Lee’s Lust, Caution. The time away from his music did him good as that night he played and sang like a man possessed.
It was obvious that he was ecstatic to be singing and playing music again. His smile, laughter, monkeying about on stage with his band all proved there was no doubt Wang enjoyed his performance. He put his heart and soul into it and as a result, fans were rewarded with what was perhaps one of his best KL shows to date.
One of the night’s highlights was his duet with best bud from Singapore, JJ Lin. Both were equally matched in their warbling skills and their voices complemented each other’s perfectly.
Lin started off by singing Ni Bu Zai while playing the piano. Then Wang emerged unexpectedly, also playing the piano and belting out Jiang Nan. It was quite a sight. Two songs sung by two men but they did it so seamlessly that it seemed like one song. When they were done, the applause was thunderous.
As usual, at every opportunity, Wang showed off his mastery as a musician. He played the violin on Julia, the erhu on Zai Na Yao Yuan De Di Fang, the drums on Love, Love, Love and the guitar and piano during the six-song acoustic set. Regardless of what the instrument, he was at ease with it. There was no doubt that Wang is a born musician.
He also proved to be quite an adept dancer as he strutted his stuff during the fast numbers such as Gai Shi Ying Xiong (Heroes of Earth), Fang Kai Ni De Xin (Open Your Heart), Ya Birthday, Wo Jiu Xi Huan (I Like) and Nu Peng You (Girlfriend). Is there nothing the man can’t do? Apparently not, especially considering we will soon be able to see him take on acting in Lust, Caution.
Despite the risk of sounding like a broken record, it has to be said that Wang is definitely one of the brightest talents the Chinese music scene has to offer.
In the past 11 years that he has been in the industry, he has made conscious efforts to offer something new to audiences. Three years ago, he came out with the “chinked-out” style of music, a blend of hip-hop and traditional Chinese music, which became the basis for his last two albums, Shangri-la (2004) and Heroes of Earth (2005).
Obviously not content to stick with the tried-and-tested, Wang is putting his money where his mouth is, and making great attempts at diversifying the Chinese music industry.
In the song Yi Shou Jian Dan De Ge (A Simple Song), one line goes “zhe yi shou jian dan de ge bing mei you shen me du te / hao xiang wo ... na me de ping fan que you shen ke” which translates as “there is nothing special about this simple song / just like me ... ordinary but with depth.” That says everything about this not-so-ordinary guy called Wang Leehom.

Hero on world stage
Wang lee hom proves he is equally at home singing chinese ballads and heating up the grooves with western hip hop

If there is one man who is blessed with just about everything anyone would ever want, it must be Wang Lee Hom. He not only comes from a well-to-do family but is also drop-dead gorgeous and extremely talented to boot.
At the risk of sounding like a gushing fan, I must admit that attending a Wang Lee Hom concert is an experience to remember.
An ABC (American-born Chinese), Wang can be considered a poster boy for Western hip-hop and rap culture, yet he is also very much rooted in his Chinese ancestry.
And he manages to merge the two beautifully in his music.
The show he put up on the last stop of his Heroes on Earth World Tour 2007 at the National outdoor Stadium in Bukit Jalil last Sunday night was a good example. In the process, he fulfilled his promise to go out with a bang.
Descending from the air in traditional Chinese get-up and wielding a giant red flag with the dragon symbol imprinted on it, the singer immediately launched into the theme for the night, Kai Si Ying Xiong (Heroes on Earth).
Wang went on to set the mood for the evening with a rousing non-stop rendition of three of his hits.
Every tilt of the head, every smile and every move he made elicited screams of adoration from his fans and he knew just how to woo them.
Those facing the front of the stage would often find him missing ... he would wander to the far left and right of the stage to get closer to those sitting way up on the slopes of the stadium, throwing flying kisses and expressing his gratitude and thanks.
Fans sitting near the stage showered him with gifts and flowers - after all, it's the Chinese Valentine's Day (Chap Goh Meh) night.
One of the gifts was a huge red heart-shaped pillow which Wang hugged as he sang Forever Love, and a lucky teddy bear in a basket which was placed on his piano while he sang Yi Sou Jian Tan De Ke (A Simple Song).
Wang also showcased his skills on other musical instruments, playing the guitar in an unplugged session, the drums for the track Love Love Love and the erhu for Jai Na Yau Yuan De Di Fang (That Faraway Place).
He was energetic with his fast, dance numbers but emotional and totally submerged in his renditions of the ballads.
With his guest artiste for the night - Lin Jun Jie or J.J. as he is known - the rapport was electric.
J.J. started off on the piano with the track Ni Pu Jai (You're Not There) and then Wang appeared on another piano with Jiangnan, their vocals blending beautifully and the two songs merging smoothly.
It's a guy thing and the two finished off with That's What Friends Are For before J.J. presented two new songs, complete with a mesmerising dance display.
Then it was time for Wang's signature chink-out segment.
It's a battle between the East and West with the Monkey God on wushu against dancers doing hip hop. But when Wang, in what appeared to be typical hip-hop attire of loose pants, cap and jacket, made his entrance, it became a fusion of the two.
Then upon closer look, you realised that his jacket has a Chinese-style cutting with Chinese symbols embossed on the breast and the cap, and it's no longer hip hop but uniquely Wang Lee Hom.
It's amazing how he could look so westernised and yet appeared so naturally Chinese.
After mesmerising the crowd with Jai Mei Bian, Hua Tian Chor, Xin Chung De Re Yue and Jai Na Yau Yuan De Di Fang, Wang ended his show with the track Loong De Chuan Ren (Dragon's Descendant).
Naturally, there were calls for an encore but all good things must eventually come to an end and after returning for a couple more songs, he called it a night - leaving sweet memories for his fans, until the next time.
Wang Lee Hom Heroes on Earth World Tour 2007 is organised by Galaxy Group and presented by Celcom.

Heartache mended with great show by Leehom

IT WAS bad. After being postponed and moved from Kuala Lumpur’s Stadium Negara where I had scored the best ever tickets, smack in front of the stage the long-awaited Wang Leehom concert, the end of his "Heroes of Earth" tour, ended up in the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil.
From disorganised ushers to crappy corner seats which made Leehom appear the size of a 50-cent coin, the concert was only redeemed by the terrific performance of the American-born Taiwanese star famous for his "chinked-out" music and boyish good looks.
When Leehom came on-stage, it was like all hell had broken loose. In a frenzy, everyone from our side tried to rush to the front, climbing over railings to be as close as possible to the stage.
Leehom opened the show with Heroes Of Earth, which we almost missed in the rush for slightly better seats. Then we settled down to enjoy the show, despite only being able to watch the ongoings on a large screen.
It didn’t take long, though, before I started enjoying myself listening to songs that I’m so familiar with, but in the exciting setting of a concert. I began to sway, moving to the beat of the music, stamping my right foot and slapping my hands on my thighs. And I said to myself, "wow".
What I thought I loved about this particular singer, after being a fan of his work for probably a decade already, is finally confirmed. In this day and age where so many so-called singers release albums yet resort to lip-synching during live performances due to insufficient talent, something which they are paid to do, no less, Leehom’s live performance is genuine. Furthermore, as I have suspected for a long time now, he sounds even better than his recordings.
Only a true "singer" can achieve that effect. His tone is strong and steady, his range is incredible, he’s well-trained in technique. And his vocals are rich with soul.
But having said that, I must point out a small disappointment. He did lip-synch with an earphone mic (or it may have been digitally fine-tuned somehow) for a span of some five minutes when he was moving a lot around the stage with his dancers (notice I don’t use the word "dance" as he can’t really dance, but then again, he is a "singer") to the two up-tempo songs, Ya Birthday and Girlfriend, which fortunately came and went very quickly.
Immediately, the earphone mic was replaced with a normal mic and he continued interacting with the ever-screaming audience while belting out another hit.
What makes Leehom’s live performance so appealing is his mastery with instruments, his speciality being the violin and piano. But the first instrument he picked up was the guitar and that prompted an unplugged session with another guitarist and drums.
Two songs later, a white piano appeared and Leehom started it off with Crying Palm, a beautiful song of heartache that I have always related to.
At that point, I decided to unglue my eyes from Leehom for a minute and take a look around. A sea of people surrounded me well, one side of me considering where my seat was and all those glow sticks never stopped moving, creating a beautiful colourful scene. As if the Aurora Borealis was in the stadium.
This was the kind of atmosphere that makes a concert. I don’t think it could get any better than that.
I was enjoying myself until Leehom suddenly announced his guest-performer, JJ Lin, a Singaporean singer-songwriter who has also achieved international stardom and is currently based in Taiwan.
But, I have no love for this guy, more so when he started playing the piano and singing You’re Not Here, one of my all-time favourite songs from Leehom. Not only did JJ forget the lyrics to the second verse, his take on this song meant that Leehom would not be singing it anymore. I felt cheated!
Leehom quickly reappeared behind another piano after fans had given JJ his share of love and screams, and did a piano "duel" by singing one of JJ’s song (of course I wouldn’t know the title of it).
The two songs blended in perfectly, no doubt, but still, nothing to celebrate about there.
When Leehom finally asked the crowd, "Want to hear JJ sing one more song?" my friend’s timely sarcastic response to that was, "Yea, yea, just finish it".
Another anticipated performance was the upbeat Julia because it contains a fantastic violin solo. And Leehom did not disappoint as he picked up a white violin and gave a new rendition of the solo. His fingers danced across the violin strings, hitting every note to perfection, impressing even my friend, who was not such a big fan.
The last part of the concert was Leehom’s self-proclaimed "chinked-out" music, a perfect blend of western hip-hop and the unheard music from the minorities of China.
He started this trend a couple of years back and has so far garnered favourable critiques. And for the past couple of albums, there were a few tracks that had the "chinked-out" flavour.
To me, that part of the concert was the hype of it all as he belted out all those mega hits one after another, including Shangri-La, Mistake In The Flower Fields, and the fastest rap verse ever in Chinese music (almost all in one breath) in Beside The Plum Blossoms.
He even wowed me yet again when he picked up an Er-Hu (a Chinese stringed instrument played like a cello) and played it just as well as his violin.
And finally to close the section off, he sang the oldie-remake of Descendants Of The Dragon.
I knew the feeling well, a good time was about to end. Leehom appeared one last time for an encore, where his interaction and link with the audience was hard to deny.
Singing his first song Impossible To Miss You, he got the audience to hush down and then started whispering the chorus. The audience followed suit, creating a susurration in the stadium. That, I thought, was also one of the highlights of the evening. He then closed it all with One And Only.
And that was the first ever proper Asian/Chinese concert I have ever been to, and I was happy I did.
Not even a bunch of shrieking fans sitting right behind me, who never seemed to run out of breath from all the high-pitched screaming, not to mention making me jump each time they start another "cheering" session, spoiled my night.
Despite all the initial hiccups and muck up by the organizers, I thoroughly enjoyed myself with Wang Leehom, who is now my official "hero of earth".
But as we headed out into the one hour traffic jam to get out of the stadium, my friend and I did discuss the probable success rate of getting our money back for those outrageous seats.

Lee Hom at his best

Talented American-Taiwanese artiste Lee Hom thrilled his fans with an unforgettable performance at his recent concert in Kuala Lumpur.
WANG Lee Hom is blessed with many talents that make him a “dream idol” to many. Striking good looks aside, the 30-year-old is everything an artiste aspires to be — an accomplished singer-songwriter and also an outstanding musician.
He lives and breathes music, having gone on a pilgrimage to remote areas in China to seek inspiration for his albums, and continues to push the boundaries of fusing traditional Chinese and modern Western elements in music.
The American-Taiwanese is also a first-rate performer. He lived up to his reputation once again at his last leg of “Lee Hom Heroes of Earth World Tour 2007” at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur last Sunday.
The concert, presented by Celcom and organised by Galaxy Productions, was scheduled for last Saturday at Stadium Merdeka.The last-minute change in date and venue still turned out to be a sold-out affair, and 25,000 “missed” the Chap Goh Mei family dinner for that memorable evening.
From the moment Lee Hom opened the show with theme song Heroes Of Earth, there wasn’t much time to blink as he presented a mesmerising showcase, be it singing, playing musical instruments, or grooving to fast-paced songs. Watching him play the violin, guitar, piano, drums and even erhu would please even the harshest critics.
Just as he gave the concert his all, the audience reciprocated by showing their adulation for him. He was showered with flowers and gifts throughout the concert. Lee Hom did not speak much but instead let his music communicate. But he did express his heartfelt gratitude to the audience and also wished everyone a happy Chinese New Year.
“It’s Yuen Xiao so let all of us be more romantic tonight!” he cooed and fulfilled this promise with romantic numbers such as Kiss Goodbye and Forever Love.
His repertoire was well chosen. He included earlier hits such as Love Rival, Beethoven and Julia and Revolution, and recent ones like Forever Love, Big City Small Love and Heroes Of Earth.
The songs bore testimony to his evolving musical journey from pop to hip hop and R&B, and the latest “Chinked Out” music that blends Chinese opera with Western hip hop and rap. One can’t deny Lee Hom’s devotion and talent although it may be difficult to appreciate his highly eclectic and unconventional music.
His costume changes were as varied as the genres of songs he performed. Clad in a Chinese general’s gown, he stripped off to reveal a white sleeveless T-shirt. Later, his look switched from a cool rebel and Prince Charming to casual chic.
A highlight of the concert was a collaboration between Singaporean singer-songwriter JJ Lin and Lee Hom. Lin sang and played Lee Hom’s song You’re Not Here on the piano and was later joined by Lee Hom on another piano. It was a delightful take on the sentimental number. The two good friends went on to perform a duet — Dionne Warwick’s That’s What Friends Are For. Lin also presented a medley of two songs, one of which is from his yet-to-be released album.
I loved the unplugged segment. Lee Hom sang crowd favourite Big City Small Love accompanied only by his acoustic guitar.
But my favorite has to be the melodious and haunting Tearing Palm, which he performed as a piano solo, with heartfelt serenity and melancholy.
The show climaxed with a segment on “Chinked Out” music. He gave life and flavor to old and new tunes in a string of songs, namely, Flower Field Wrong, Sun and Moon in my Heart, At a Faraway Place and Descendants of the Dragon. That would have been a fitting finale.
When he reappeared after an encore, confetti and fireworks erupted to upbeat Impossible to Miss You. Many of his fans rose to their feet to clap, sing and dance to the music.
Lee Hom poured bottled water onto his face and his shirt was drenched! He closed the 2½-hour concert with The Only One, which he dedicated to his fans.
The only drawback was that the mobile microphone and the sound system were less than perfect, causing Lee Hom’s vocal to sound too jarring at times and muted at others. But such flaws would have been overshadowed by this dream idol’s terrific musical showmanship.

2006/10/21: 感動與幸福，劃下這一刻的休止符
新加坡歌迷是幸福的，因為這是力宏今年最後一場蓋世英雄演唱會，而新加坡的歌迷有幸和力宏一起為它劃下休止符；力宏也是幸福的，99％的上座率和演唱會上觀眾們不間斷的熱情掌聲、喝采聲就是最大的證明！... 在我們看來，這場新加坡演唱會是不一樣的，和以往看過的力宏演唱會都不一樣！有人說，比起以往的演唱會，這場新加坡演唱會過於簡單，沒有華麗的舞臺設計，沒有足夠多的歌曲，沒有過多地和歌迷互動，也沒有大牌的嘉賓...但是，這樣一場看似簡單的演唱會，卻讓向來冷靜理智的新加坡觀眾，不分男女老少，為他的歌聲和演奏而感動，為他精彩的演出而全場起立喝采，也為了他的深情和疲憊而心疼落淚... 這場演唱會早已不是用眼睛就能夠欣賞透的，唯有身心相融，才能真正地看透和看懂...＂
日期：21-10-2006
時間：8:30PM
地點：新加坡室內體育館
10 月21日晚上8點15分，坐在據說是全亞洲最好的新加坡室內體育館裡面，環顧四周，各個看區都還只是或多或少地坐了一部分人，還有很多空的座位，我們心裡不禁有些緊張，難道上座率.... 回想剛才從體育館門口進來的情形就覺得好笑，因為這次主辦方管得很嚴，所以進場前保安要一個一個檢查大家的背包或手提包，相機、DV都不可以帶入場，但是在堅決支持反盜版卻又想把演唱會精彩畫面和大家分享的矛盾心理下，還是有部分歌迷想盡辦法把體型不小的相機＂偷渡＂進場，方法無奇不有，＂普通級別＂是把相機用毛巾包起來藏在背包暗閣裡面，＂較高級別＂則是把相機綁在腿上用褲子或裙子遮住＂走＂進來，呵呵，厲害！（注意，此項＂技能＂經過長期訓練，心懷不軌者和體虛者切勿模仿嘗試！）
晚上8點30分，燈光逐漸暗了下來，大家很有默契地同時回頭，哈哈，除了最靠近舞臺兩側沒有售票的看臺區是空的，全場座無虛席！！無數的黃、綠、紅、藍色螢光棒閃爍不停，滿場的紅色充氣棒隨著音樂聲和舞臺上京劇武者舞動的剪影而不斷揮舞著！在全場歌迷的尖叫聲中，舞臺中間的白色帷幕「唰」地降下，身穿金色長袍、手舉紅色大旗、英姿颯爽的力宏出現在舞臺上！在與武者們一番「過招」之後，力宏帥氣地把長袍一甩，大聲唱出：＂蓋世英雄到來！COME ON COME ON COME ON ！跟我說一次！＂＂蓋世英雄到來...＂全場的歌迷都扯開嗓門用盡力氣大聲地應和，現場的氣氛頓時HIGH到了最高點！！
＂新加坡，你們好嗎？...＂唱罷極能帶動現場氣氛的《蓋世英雄》、《放開你的心》和《愛你等於愛自己》之後，力宏開心地和新加坡的歌迷們打招呼，現場的歌迷再次為之瘋狂，一邊大聲地回應著力宏：＂好！＂一邊不斷敲擊著手中的紅色充氣棒，全場陷入一片歡呼聲和敲擊聲當中！《公轉自轉》、《愛的就是你》... 在演唱《Kiss Good-Bye》之前，力宏自爆出道時曾經暗戀過Kit Chan陳潔儀，還即興模仿她演唱了幾句『喜歡你』，全場的歌迷都被如此可愛的力宏逗得哈哈大笑... 演唱會前我一直在想，這場新加坡演唱會會不會有什麼不同於其他場演唱會的地方呢？還是說一樣是在不變中求萬變？... 當力宏唱完《情敵貝多芬》，第一個讓我們自己感動到不行的場面出現了！
＂烏黑的髮尾盤成一個圈，纏繞所有對你的眷戀......＂ 隨著《大城小愛》的歌聲悠悠響起，舞臺兩側的大螢幕上出現了OurHome Singapore剪接的一系列力宏在新加坡的活動畫面，從98年力宏簽約SONY之後第一次來新加坡做宣傳，到今年10月力宏為這場新加坡演唱會旋風襲新6小時，把我們從演唱會現場帶回到98年、99年... 再回到2006年的現在，一切恍如昨日！看著大螢幕上不斷播出的畫面，大家嘴裡輕輕地跟著哼唱，往日的一切彷彿又重現在眼前... ...
1998 年，力宏帶著小小的力凱和年輕的王媽媽來到新加坡作宣傳，當時不算很紅的他在HARD ROCK CAFE 舉行的第一場mini concert擠滿了歌迷，我們第一次見識到力宏現場演出的功力，讚！... 1999 年，力宏到新加坡宣傳新專輯、舉辦簽名會；在新加坡國慶日慶典上，力宏站在高高的舞臺上獻唱，我們站在平平的草地上仰望支持；力宏出席新加坡金曲獎獲得最佳製作人，我們在台下為他受到肯定而拚命鼓掌；在YES 933的慈善活動上，我們第一次有了＂光明正大＂和力宏合照的機會！同年，OurHome SG成立，我們在力宏的各個活動上宣傳我們的新家，而力宏也很賣力地幫忙呼籲；台灣921大地震，OurHome SG組織第一次活動，以力宏的名義捐物捐錢賑災... 2000年，力宏為新專輯作宣傳，簽名會、mini concert同時舉行，大家冒雨從這個場地趕到另一個場地，雖然很累卻甘之如飴... 2001年，力宏為第一部電影「雷霆戰警」到新加坡做宣傳，大家連夜趕做手牌、Banner，只為了讓力宏在機場可以感受到新加坡歌迷的熱情；因為王媽媽和公司的幫忙，電影首映禮上，歌迷會的會員很幸運地坐在力宏、騰原紀香等演員的後面一排，看電影期間，大家的眼睛都不停地在大螢幕和前排小動作不斷的力宏身上來回＂忙碌＂著... 2002年，力宏在新加坡Expo室內體育館舉行第一場＂不可思議＂售票演唱會，演唱會上座無虛席，舞臺上的力宏脫胎換骨，魅力十足！媒體紛紛稱說：王力宏「改造」了新加坡的歌迷，讓他們HIGH到坐不下來，站著聽完演唱會... 2003年，2004年，2005年，2006年... 短髮的力宏，長髮的力宏；青澀的力宏，成熟的力宏；單純直爽的力宏，深思熟慮的力宏... 太多太多的回憶同時湧現出來，眼睛、鼻子和心臟幾乎同時有了＂酸＂的感覺！陪著力宏一路走來，一起成長，很慶幸始終沒有變的是力宏那顆對音樂執著的心和我們一直支持力宏的堅定的心，相信就算再過十年，當我們還有機會坐下來欣賞力宏演唱會的時候，我們還是能很驕傲地大聲說：我們都沒有變「心」！！
「感 動」，似乎是從這一刻、這個場面開始蔓延的... 「Because Leehom is our homeboy, Our Home SG is our sweet home 」... 從畫面中回到現實、回到現場，才募然發現穿著淺藍色有吊帶的衣服、抱著吉他的力宏不知何時已經坐在了舞臺中間，短短的頭髮、純純的氣息，一瞬間，彷彿又看到了大學時期的力宏坐在我們面前.... ＂I Love You... 很喜歡聽你們唱歌... 這些VCR片段看了都非常感動，謝謝你們... ＂看著從出道至今的畫面，力宏也深深地被感動了....＂我發現新加坡人都很會唱歌...所以我要做一個驗證，我要看看新加坡人是不是比較會唱歌... ＂＂呃，其實上臺之前應該要準備一下臺詞比較好，哈哈... ＂《不要害怕》、《大城小愛》成了力宏和全場歌迷大合唱的力作 ... ...
坐到黑色鋼琴前，先隨意地彈了一段前奏（也許順便想想＂臺詞＂），然後力宏似乎語帶哽咽地說：＂這場演唱會對我來講挑戰性非常大，而且考驗很大，因爲我這段時間都沒有在唱歌，都在演戲，都在演一個非常不HIP-HOP...非常不流行的...一個三十年前的人... 所以今天晚上請你們可以多唱一點... 帶動我的情緒... ＂＂力宏加油！！＂看到力宏有點情緒低落的樣子，大家都忍不住爲力宏打氣！... 和著力宏的琴聲，看著力宏憔悴的臉，聽著力宏略帶沙啞的歌聲，我們的心都緊緊地揪著！這段時間力宏的壓力太大了，來自媒體的無聊誹謗，來自電影新人追求完美表現的自我要求，來自日夜顛倒趕戲等等外界和自身的壓力，力宏瘦了很多（雖然力宏說是爲了配合角色所處年代的需要而減肥），身為歌迷的我們卻什麼都不能為他做，所以，在此時，在此刻，我們只有大聲地用我們的歌聲、用我們的熱情來表達對力宏最強大、最堅定的支持！
＂ALAN...＂雖然今晚的表演嘉賓柯有倫在新加坡並不紅，但我們還是愛屋及烏地為他鼓掌歡呼，或許是被我們的熱情所感動，在演唱＂零＂的時候，Alan也忍不住眼泛淚光... 也許作為新人的他今天有幸站在新加坡這個舞臺上，看到臺下這麼多的力宏歌迷在為他加油，他也會有所感慨，希望有朝一日能像師兄力宏那樣受到如此多歌迷的歡迎和支持吧！
＂PARADISO＂在哪裡？今晚，此地，我們就置身在力宏那穿透靈魂、撼動心靈的音樂天堂裡！！＂我真的捨不得，這是今年最後一場蓋世英雄演唱會... 我真的很高興，謝謝新加坡，謝謝你們（讓）我可以在你們的國家結束今年的演唱會...＂＂我非常非常喜歡電影，我也希望你們到時候會喜歡《色戒》這部電影！＂...＂力宏加油！＂＂力宏我愛你！＂...＂講到電影，我先拉一首最喜歡的歌...謝謝你們！《Cinema Paradiso》這首（歌送給你們）＂... ...
閉上眼睛，深深地吸了一口氣，力宏緩緩舉起小提琴，靜待慶隆老師的鋼琴 聲起...... 猶如晨曦中的浪花一波波輕輕滑過海面，溫暖柔和的鋼琴聲徐徐滑出，一陣陣悠揚婉轉、淒美纏綿的琴聲也隨之從力宏的小提琴弦上緩緩流瀉而出，悠悠地環繞著整個體育館...一聲聲如泣如訴的琴音，一次次臉部表情的變換，我們早已分不清是淒迷哀怨的琴聲讓力宏沉醉，還是陷入自我境界的力宏讓琴聲變得更深刻動人... 舞臺上完全忘我演奏的力宏仿若墜入了《Cinema Paradiso》的時空，一切都變得如此虛幻... 透過小提琴的傳遞，看著力宏臉上難過到幾乎不能呼吸的表情，我第一次發現＂心痛＂原來不是形容詞而是動詞，讓我每一下都痛得好真實...＂力宏別哭！＂＂力宏加油！！＂臺下的歌迷似乎都聽到了力宏的心聲，紛紛為力宏加油鼓勵... 下雨了？抬頭看向天空，眼睛糢糊一片，原來... 這首曲子從04年的演唱會聽到現在，每一次聽力宏演奏時都會覺得它很動聽很感人，可是卻沒有深刻到讓我情不自禁的地步，今晚這場演唱會，我似乎才真正聽出了＂感覺＂，聽懂了它的＂感情＂，甚至行動比思考更快一步地表現出來... 抬頭看了看周圍，才發現大家都在一邊聽一邊偷偷摸眼淚，原來，力宏的音樂大家都聽懂了！
接下來，《在梅邉》、《花田錯》、《心中的日月》等一系列的＂CHINKED-OUT＂歌曲又把大家從剛才傷感的氛圍中帶到了歡快動感的＂CHINKED-OUT＂世界裡... ＂黑頭髮黑眼睛黃皮膚，我們都是龍的傳人..＂一首力宏主唱、Alan主Rap的《龍的傳人》，讓全場的新加坡觀眾不分男女老少都HIGH到站了起來跟著一起大合唱，大家熱情的歌聲幾乎把整個新加坡室內體育館掀起來！... ...
這一場演唱會，讓我們仿佛有種洗三溫暖的感覺，時而HIGH翻 天，時而淚滿面，時而大聲唱，時而小聲合... 不管是哪種情緒、什麽心情，力宏都有這種魔力，讓向來看演唱會就像看電影一樣＂冷靜自如＂的新加坡觀衆，為他的歌聲和演奏而感動，為他精彩的演出而全場起立喝采，也為了他的深情和疲憊而心疼落淚！作為歌迷的我們是幸福的，因為我們有這樣一個機會與力宏分享他的音樂，我們有這樣一個夜晚能置身音樂的天堂，我們也有這樣的榮幸和力宏一起為今年的蓋世英雄演唱會畫下完美的休止符！
每一次，力宏來新加坡的時候都會對歌迷說：＂新加坡的歌迷，你們是最棒的！＂這一次，我們也要把這句話送給你：＂力宏，你是最棒的！我們會一直支持你！加油！！＂
後記：這場力宏新加坡演唱會不但吸引了很多年輕的歌迷前往，而且很多新加坡的＂Uncle、Auntie＂（新加坡人對老年人的稱呼）都在家人的陪同下或者獨自前往觀看！在演唱會上，他們的熱情和活力絲毫不遜於我們這些忠實的歌迷！一位歌迷的媽媽甚至比她更迷力宏，看完演唱會回到家，因為太high而失眠睡不著；另一位歌迷的媽媽還即興寫了一首打油詩來稱讚力宏！所以，力宏，請記住，你是幸福的！

宏情扣心泛淚影
獅城歡聲心相印
城載美譽無限情
讚！

2006/10/21: Heroes of Earth 2006 Concert in Singapore
21 October 2006 – A day which many have waited with much anticipation. Leehom's Heroes of Earth 2006 Concert in Singapore has finally arrived. By 7pm, Singapore Indoor Stadium was already crowded with fans and their families as well as friends. Fans from around the world could be seen mingling outside the stadium. Many had flocked to the merchandise booth where various concert merchandise were being sold. The entrance was opened at around 7.30pm. Eager concert-goers queued and were very well behaved. Everyone looked really excited.
Upon entering the indoor stadium, I could feel the cold air emitted from the powerful air-conditioning. It was then when I felt the energy rushing through my body. My adrenaline was gushing. Together with my gang, we went to search for our seats. Initially, we thought we're getting bad seats as the numbers are Row 11, Seats 14, 15 and 16. To our delight, they were right in the middle! Hooray! The moment I reached my seat, I saw a package. It was a pair of yet to be inflated red colored clapsticks with Leehom's name and 盖世英雄emblazoned and a SISTIC flyer. Up on stage, the words 盖世英雄, which was shadowed against a gigantic piece of white cloth, could be seen.
At 8.30pm, the lights dimmed and the spotlights on stage lit up. The words 盖世英雄 disappeared and behind the cloth were shadows of four warriors in period Chinese costumes. When the cloth was released from the top, the fireworks went off as well. The crowd went wild! Leehom and two performers were seen standing on a suspended platform. Unlike the Taipei Concert where Leehom jumped off the platform, this time he danced down from a slope which connected the platform and the stage. The moves were difficult. The music to盖世英雄 (Heroes of Earth) came after Leehom had ‘fought' off the ‘villains'.
This was followed by 放开你的心 (Open Your Heart) and 爱你等于爱自己 (Loving You Equals to Loving Me). Those three songs were combined into a medley. Leehom got us on our feet jumping, waving and singing along. During the short interval before proceeding to the next song, he said aloud, “当我说盖世，你说英雄!” (When I say ‘Gai Shi, you'll say ‘Ying Xiong'!) This chant was used through out the evening and it excited the audience every time Leehom says, “当我说盖世……” or “盖世……” The crowd seemed to have moved into the automatic mode.
Leehom has a really good showmanship and is a professional when it comes to interacting with his audience. Occasionally, he'll crack jokes. They may be silly but it made everyone laugh. Throughout the night, he interacted with the audience partly in Mandarin and but mainly in English. The audience could not stop cheering when Leehom introduced members of his band, the majority of whom are from Singapore.
The next song was 公转自传 (Revolution). It definitely brought back sweet memories from that period and made me realize how Leehom had revolutionized Mandarin music. 爱的就是你 (You Are My Love) and Kiss Goodbye then followed. Kiss Goodbye was said to be the most popular mobile ringtone in Taiwan. I beg to differ as it is also a hit in places where Leehom's presence is felt like Malaysia, Singapore and China.
Before the emotions generated by Kiss Goodbye could subside, Leehom broke into 永远的第一天 (Forever's First Day). If you had read the Accidental Biography, you would understand how much this song means to Leehom. Even though it's an old song, all the fans present seemed to remember each and every word very well. Perhaps some of them could relate to Forever's First Day. Just as the song ended, Leehom ran under the stage for a quick rest and wardrobe change.
DJ E-Turn appeared at the top tier of the elevated stage. He also chanted, “当我说盖世，你说英雄!” As the lights on DJ E-Turn dimmed, Leehom appeared in his hip-hop attire.
In the hip-hop segment, he performed Ya Birthday, 我就喜欢(I'm Lovin' It) and 女朋友 (Girlfriend). Almost everyone stood up from their seats to wave their glow sticks and danced along the tunes. The highlight for this segment was Girlfriend when female dancer Dao Dan rapped with Leehom and she made some fans jealous by faking a kiss with Leehom mid-way through that song and ripping off his shirt. He then brought everyone down memory lane to his very first song, 情敌贝多芬 (Love Rival Beethoven). Nevertheless, the spirits were high.
After that, it was the band's turn to entertain the crowd while Leehom had another costume change. A video with 大成小爱 as the background music was played on the big screens and that made the crowd roar in excitement. The video showed footages of Leehom from his first visit to Singapore until the most recent visit – more than a decade of videos.
Slowly in the dark, five high stools were arranged on the stage with a microphone stand in the middle. The guitarists took position and made some adjustments. Leehom then appeared on stage quietly. The spotlights slowly lit up on him and he started strumming 第一个清晨 (First Morning), followed by 大成小爱 (Big City Small Love). Just before he started singing 不要害怕 (Don't be Afraid), he asked the audience to sing along the chorus with him. The crowd sang in unison. He then finished the acoustic set with the faster tempo W-H-Y. He looked dashing in blue shirt, jeans and a guitar.
Subsequently, Leehom moved to the piano and teased the crowd with a short classical number. I believe that's the warm up tune. On the piano, he played and sang 一手简单的歌 (A Simple Song), 流泪手心 (Crying Palms) and Love, Love, Love. It was a smooth transition from the piano to the drums. Leehom started by beating the floor tom and walking at the same time. Once he was seated as the drum kit was slowly assembled and he kept on playing. A brilliant drum solo.
When Leehom disappeared again, the crowd cooled down a bit. Without much delay, Alan Kuo's music blared from the speakers and out he came. The guest artiste sang Wake Up and 零 (Zero), which are his signature songs. He really rocked the stadium!
From Alan Kuo's rock music to one of Leehom's most popular ballads, Forever Love. He sang this tune almost effortlessly. When he lifted the violin, fans screamed. Everyone knows that the violin is his pet instrument, one which he has played since he started formal music lessons. Leehom's beautiful rendition of Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso swept many off their feet. It was lovely and romantic. Leehom truly serenaded the audience with his violin solo. Amidst the claps and praises, he began playing the tune of Julia on his violin. The crowd rose to their feet almost instantly as if additional adrenaline was injected into them.
DJ E-Turn took over the stage and the B-Boys as well as Chinese Opera performers joined him while Leehom took another costume change. The B-Boys and the Chinese Opera performers trilled the audience with their impressive combination of street dancing and acrobatic stunts. When Leehom appeared, he was wearing his Chinked-out attire. He was red from head to toe. For the Chinked-out segment, Leehom performed 在梅边 (Beside the Plum Blossom), 花田错 (Mistake in the Flower Field) and 心中的日月 (Shangri-la).
Prior to the next song, Leehom made a short thank you speech to the sponsors, his big boss, SonyBMG, his violin teacher, friends and fans. He told us at the end of his speech that he wants to take us to a faraway place through his song 在那遥远的地方 (In the Faraway Place). Leehom displayed his prowess at the erhu, an ancient Chinese string instrument. It is amazing that he taught himself to play this instrument as it is not easy. Perhaps the experience and skill learnt from playing the violin helped.
The following song was 龙的传人 (Descendants of the Dragon). As the song reached the chorus, Alan Kuo appeared and started dancing with Leehom and the B-boys. The coordination and synchronization was very good. Both even did a duet in the rap section with Alan rapping in Mandarin and Leehom in English. The performance was a blast. Everyone was on a high.
Leehom made a lot of interaction with the audience in 不可能错过你 (Impossible to Miss You). He made us all sing in our softest voice and slowly raise it but we broke his rule at the second level when in the height of excitement we became too loud. Thus, we were made to sing that part all over again. Even so, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. When Leehom started singing 唯一 (The One and Only), those who had watched the Taipei Concert DVD knew that this song is the finale. Since Singapore is the last stop of the Heroes of Earth 2006 Concert Tour, everyone gave their all and sang 唯一with Leehom. Voices echoed throughout the stadium.
The concert had given many first time Leehom concert-goers a deep impression. The high quality performance and endless crowd interaction thoroughly thrilled them. This concert even brought together fans from all over Asia Pacific.
What impressed me most was how superb the concert was, despite Leehom's crazy hectic working schedule, Leehom had managed to put up a great performance; never mind that his vocals sounded stretched and that he had forgotten his lyrics at times - he made it a night for us to remember.
And we couldn't stop smiling as we left the stadium that night.

For you, a thousand times over – Leehom Singapore Concert 2006
The long awaited Heroes of the Earth concert tour has come and gone, and we in Singapore are left with yet another deeply memorable encounter of Leehom's live performance.
The Anticipation
Leehom arrived at the airport on Thursday (19 Oct) night at about 8.30, looking comfortable and relaxed, as compared to his obvious weariness during his 1st October promotional stopover. Wearing the OurHome SG shirt, complete with his usual shades and a cap twisted backwards in an almost boyish style, Leehom looked decidedly fresh and all set for his upcoming concert.
21 Oct 2006. The big day arrived all too quickly. OurHome SG were all in a bustle for the entire day, distributing tickets and sharing news updates with fans from overseas. I was once again amazed at how Leehom has reached out to so many of us, and allowed people of different backgrounds to have this rare opportunity to share and party. We exchanged news about Leehom, about his previous concerts, and also made new friends. These overseas fans represented only a fraction of the support for Leehom from their home countries. Leehom's international fanclubs had sent their best wishes through gifts and concert flower arrangements. OurHome SG had prepared special gifts to mark Leehom's concert. A booklet containing the wishes of all Singapore fans was presented. On top of that, a Duval-Leroy vintage champagne engraved with Leehom's unique dragon treble clef logo was given to Leehom to celebrate his tour in Singapore.
The Concert
The Indoor Stadium filled up slowly as many were delayed by the stringent security checks at the doors. Gradually, the stadium was packed from end to end, which was hardly surprising as the affordable tickets ($78) were snapped up with 60% of the tickets were sold within the first 3 days of sales! This was despite the noticeably short notice and promotional period of this concert. Once again, an indication of Leehom's growing popularity in Singapore!
Leehom had looked noticeably thin in person at the airport, much to our concern. Once onstage, however, his dynamism and larger-than-life onstage personality cast that observation out of the window, sweeping us off our feet as always with a dazzling performance. For a start, the white cloth that hid the stage from the audience fell amidst thumping music and loud cheers, revealing Leehom looking all majestic on the suspended platform. Regrettably, Leehom did not ‘fly' down the platform as anticipated. The scene was one of the more spectacular moments of his concert. Instead, the platform lowered Leehom to the ground level as he prepared to ‘battle' the warriors.
Leehom gave his all, singing, dancing, prancing, and bowled us over with his musical pieces. He didn't once hold back and was truly enjoying himself. The fans added to the charged up atmosphere by singing, screaming and cheering with the rhythm.
During an interval where Leehom went off stage to change, the video that captured Leehom's visits to Singapore over the past 11 years were shown on the big screens. With the song, Da Chang Xiao Ai playing in the background, the video expressed Singapore's best wishes and support for Leehom over the past years. This was put together specially by OurHome SG who had been around cheering Leehom on since the days of Love Rival, Beethoven. Many could not help but be moved to tears—whether with the realization of how far he had come in all these years, or what some of us had been missing in his early stages of development.
The songs arrangement and sequences may be rather similar to the previous 3 concerts. Yet, what made this concert so memorable and special was how deeply emotional and heart-warming it had been. Having been busy with filming in the recent months, Leehom had not been able to spend time doing what he enjoys the most—taking the stage and singing the songs that have come to mean so much to him and his fans. His ballads were filled with so much heart and soul. During the acoustic section when Leehom belted out Da Cheng Xiao Ai. As he strummed the guitar, Leehom appeared to be fighting his overwhelmed emotions. His voice quivered slightly as he proclaimed his big love in this small city (小小的爱在那城里好甜蜜) . Kiss Goodbye, Forever First Day, Forever Love, A Simple Love Song, Mary Says & Wei Yi were delivered with such aching beauty that pulled at the heart strings of all. The highlight of the show was when Leehom pulled out his beloved violin, and played the theme of Cinema Paradiso. The moment came to a stand still as all stood entranced. We were captivated by the melody which drew us slowly into Leehom's world. It was thus not surprising that when the song came to an end, both Leehom and the audience took a while before reacting to a more upbeat of Julia.
Leehom closed the last Heroes of Earth 2006 Concert with Impossible to Miss You & Wei Yi. The crowd gave Leehom a standing ovation. The entire stadium stood as they saluted to this amazing hero who, in the short 2.5 hours concert, brought them all through a wonderful musical journey. That was indeed a rare sight as Singaporeans were known for not being as expressive as they would like to. Even when the announcement came to close the concert officially, many lingered behind, not wanting the moment to end.
After thought: Our only lament was that this concert was way too short. In fact, it was the shortest amongst all his concerts.Nonetheless, Leehom delivered a great performance that night. He poured his passion, his heart and his soul into every word he sang and every note he played. 21 Oct 2006 was truly a night to remember and all of us had taken home many precious memories.
Thank you Leehom! And come back real soon!
Also, cheers to the organizers - Sony Ericsson, Singtel and Hype Records for preparing the air filled clappers for all during the concert! We had a wild time bringing the stadium down with the loud clappers!

2006/10/21: Thank you Leehom - Heroes of Earth Concert in SG
A Recollection
19 OCT 2006 - Arrival @ Changi Airport
Leehom arrived in Singapore at about 7.45pm, decked out in jeans and our beloved ourHomeSG tee! We welcomed him with a bouquet of pink heart-shaped balloons. We sensed that he was pretty tired, but still he was so obliging and smiled to everyone.
As usual, there was a warm crowd at the airport, and many security guards around him. Fans passed him gifts- Dongni (a new friend I’ve made from OurHome China) gave him a book written by her favourite author; Krishnamurti, and my friend Kimmie managed to pass her gift to a security guard who was next to Leehom.
I didn’t have my personal gift with me so I thought of passing it to him when he departs Singapore. Unfortunately, that did not happen for me.
21 OCT 2006 - Heroes of Earth World Tour @ Singapore Indoor Stadium
- Concert
As the lights slowly dimmed down, we cheered with great anticipation for Leehom’s appearance. Slowly, the cheers got louder as we saw Leehom appear on stage, donning a glittery gold Chinese costume in his new hairstyle for the first time!
We began singing along and waving our blue light-sticks enthusiastically as he performed the opening medley of “Gai Shi Ying Xiong”, “Fang Kai Ni De Xin”, and “Ai Ni Deng Yu Ai Zhi Ji”. Next up was the catchy “Gong Zuan Zi Zuan” and “Ai De Jiu Shi Ni” where we started getting off from our seats and grooved to the music!
To name a few, invited guests in the audience included his violin teacher, our very own local songbird Kit Chan, and first Singapore Idol Taufik Batisah. Leehom is a well-liked singer/songwriter/musician by all, it was no wonder that many other local celebrities were spotted in the audience too!
Leehom dedicated “Forever Love” to Kit Chan, whom he’d mentioned that he had a crush on when he first started out in the music industry.
That night, the audience was treated to a display of Leehom’s musical talents- he played the piano, guitar, violin and his Chinese erhu. Before he performed “Yi Shou Jian Dan De Ge” on piano, he solemnly shared with the audience that the concert was a highly challenging one for him as he has been busy with filming and hence he hasn’t been singing for quite some time. He also added a little humour by joking that his character is a very “un-hiphop” person! Going on, he sincerely hoped that the audience will sing more with him and without a doubt, we did! (:
One of my favourite moments of the concert was his violin performance of “Cinema Paradiso”… simply beautiful.
Nearing the finale, he sang “Bu Ke Neng Zuo Guo Ni” and “appointed” us instantly as his choir, telling us to control our volumes as he sang the song softer & softer and then back to higher & higher! It was really fun; but somehow we couldn’t control our volumes, haha.
Singing “Wei Yi” - the final song of the night, Leehom received a standing ovation from the audience.
“See ya all next year!” said Leehom as he waved us goodbye on stage.
- Backstage
There was this backstage conference shortly after the concert. My friend won backstage passes to this exclusive event and obviously, I was green with envy! I was pretty disappointed that I couldn’t have the chance to go backstage, but I was glad that my friend got the opportunity to see Leehom up-close.
Recently, my friend told me that it was mentioned backstage that Leehom was going to leave Singapore at 5am. I cannot imagine how workaholic Homeboy can get! He doesn’t even need sleep at all? I think we should all officially declare our Homeboy as Mr Superman!
- Departure
The small group of us, (myself, Dongni and Kimmie) did not get to see him off at the airport as we were clueless about his flight departure time. We actually reached the airport much later to realize that he has left in the morning. Sigh, we were kinda disappointed but at the same time we knew it was unavoidable that he has to leave so early and resume filming in Hong Kong.
Post Concert - My thoughts
Despite the derived tiredness from his tight filming schedules; our Homeboy gave his best to all of us fans! Although the time he spent here in Singapore seemed like a rushed affair, I am truly appreciative that he took a break from filming for this concert.
No doubt I was upset that we couldn’t see him off and pass him my gift, I am grateful for the memorable experience we had with our new found friend from China. I’m missing her as I’m typing this now and of course, I miss Leehom too!
Homeboy, you’re such a hardworking person- you need to take good care of yourself too! We’ll see you again soon alright!

2006/10/21: 蓋世英雄新加坡演唱會--歌迷小筆記
2006-10-19 機場接機（一）
我一直都会问自己为什么对任何事情都可以很冷静的面对，而却为力宏疯狂，这实在与平时的自己不相符，不过我却深深喜欢可以完全释放感情的自己，因为那是双子的另一半，同样很真实。很多时候我还是想不通怎么可以为了去机场接力宏而尽量安排紧张的时间，提前几个小时到达而只为了一两分钟力宏的出现。是的，不值得，可是我还是会去做，而且有许许多多的人都在做。
力宏的演唱会是在10月21号，因为之前力宏说这是盖世英雄演唱会的最后一场，所以我们都觉得很是幸运，可以见证最后一首安可曲，最后一场华丽的演出。得知力宏是今天到来的消息是昨天晚上，因为实在太困倦而在巴士上险些睡着，多亏一位越南宏迷朋友的短信，当我看到力宏的航班和具体时间时一下子就清醒了，这是出乎意料之外的，虽然我也想过力宏会提前来彩排，可是没有想到会这么早，看了看自己的课程表，发现今天还真的不少，不过力宏的班级是在晚上7点45，所以取消了一个小约会就和朋友提前匆匆赶到机场。
大概是6点多就边吃晚饭边等待了，时间过的真快，当我们走到力宏的出来的门时周围已经有许多歌迷了，这一次比之前的几次要多很多，可能是学生放学工作的人下班的缘故，大家都有时间来接机，我和朋友始终都不知道应该站在哪里去等待，哪个角度最适合拍照片？哪个角度可以更清晰的看到他。我还把眼睛都带好随时寻找他的身影。
很兴奋，我们是第一个看到力宏的人，因为我们是第一声尖叫，力宏穿着OurhomeSG的会服，倒戴着小红帽，很瘦很高，从远处走来，不停的向我们挥手。等他走到取行李处时已经离我们很近了，如果不是隔着一道玻璃门，我想机场将出现一片混乱的情景。最好笑的时我和朋友把他身边同时出现的一位老妇人当成了他的外婆！而且还很兴奋的说他的外婆也跟随他一同来到狮城，而且我还不停拍那个“外婆”的照片，可是当她提着行李走近的时候，我们才发现原来我们认错了亲，那人和力宏的外婆只有一样相似，就是发型，而其他的都是误会。
过了一会力宏就在几个保安的陪同下走了出来，歌迷蜂拥而上，挤在了他的身边，很多人送他礼物，他也一直在说谢谢，很有礼貌。近处看力宏他的脸真的消瘦不少，虽然距离上次见他只有半个多月的时间，可是感觉上他还是让人心疼。清晰的看到他脸颊上未刮净的胡须，不像上一次的书生模样，起初我们还担心因为发型会影响演唱会的视觉，虽然没有看到他帽子以下的头发，不过总体看来他还是那个帅气潇洒的力宏，友好亲切很有礼貌。短短一两分钟的时间他就走到了机场外，上了面包车，最后他对我们说“see you all"。真好，我们还可以看到他的演唱会，真好这只是这一次见面的开始，真好我们今后的几天还和他同处一个城市。
用几个小时的等待去换取一两分钟的追逐，过程是漫长的，可是喜悦却足以弥补时间的流逝，有什么比见到自己的偶像自己崇拜的人物更兴奋的事呢？至少对我而言，我要感谢力宏给我一个疯狂的理由，感谢他让我每次都告诉自己要变得更好，更出色，做一个好人，不需像他一样成功，可是也要让自己的人生充实美满。
10-21 蓋世英雄新加坡演唱會--歌迷小筆記
演唱会终于还是结束了，这场盖世英雄最后一场巡回演出在一个小时之前落下了帷幕，自然有兴奋激动的同时失落也随之产生，有时候面对结束还不如期待开始的过程，盖世英雄演唱会已经进行几个城市了，而大多数歌迷也都买到了台北小巨蛋演唱会的DVD，所以具体的歌曲我就不仔细描写了，只是分成几个方面来写一下大家不知道或特殊的细节。
一，演唱会场地
新加坡室内体育馆是许多明星开演唱会的唯一场所，国家很小，所以体育馆自然也不大，在刚刚售票半个多月后就已经卖出了70%的好成绩，所以在今天的售票处看到的都是来领票的而鲜有才买的。上座率相当高，只要是能看到舞台的角度就都有人的存在。体育场是三面的，舞台很小，前方有小块地方是留给摄影师和记者的，而中间最好的座位也是很普通的椅子一排排的摆着，我坐在第五排的最中间，我的左边就是过道，极好的位置，离舞台也相当近，不过整体感觉来看实在是与台北小巨蛋或是香港的舞台无法比拟，太小太简单，看上去还会觉得危险，生怕台上几个舞者多米诺骨牌般的摔倒，乐队在右前方，伴唱的在左侧，而升降台也只有小小的两个，一个是力宏在演唱《在那遥远的地方》时稍微升高一米左右，而另一个就是一般的升降台。没有高度所以我们平行的位置便更适合观看和拍照。
二，演唱会嘉宾
力宏刚一出场的时候就介绍了今晚来观看演唱会的朋友们，有他的小提琴老师，有崔震东，有singapore idol，也有去年的‘新加坡偶像“，他们大多坐在我的前方，基本上右侧的前四排都是些特约来宾，在新加坡也都算小有名气，只不过对于我们来讲还是很陌生。值得一提的是，力宏三次点名陈洁仪，她可以算是观赏演唱会的一位重要人物了。而表演嘉宾让人很意外，本以为会邀请些本地歌手，例如JJ或孙燕姿或蔡健雅，可没想到出现的是柯有伦！而且还表演了三首歌曲，前两首是单独的（wake up>和《零》，而当力宏后来演唱《龙的传人》时他也出场一同rap.他自己也很感谢师兄力宏给他的机会，我想作为一个嘉宾能够演唱三首歌已经是很大的荣耀和机会了。
三，歌迷
虽然新加坡歌迷会并不是十分壮大，从每次力宏活动中看到穿会服的人数中就能看出来。但是，新加坡歌迷的热情也是非同一般的。在场的歌迷都很有组织，我们也清晰的看到来自马来西亚的，香港的，台湾的和泰国的，日本的。尖叫的声音从开始一直到结束，从未停止过。我想也只有这一点可以和台北演唱会比拟了。
四，力宏
力宏这场演唱会说了不少话，开了不少玩笑，像他说的一样，他一直感到很舍不得，毕竟是盖世英雄演唱会的最后一场，他说最近一直忙着拍戏，很少唱歌，开玩笑的让我们多唱他就可以少唱一点了。而在带领我们唱《不可能错过你》的时候因为语言或理解上的原因，许多人都没有做到他的要求声音从低升到高，而那时的力宏是最可爱了，他嘟着嘴说我们错了，然后又重新来一次，边解释边唱，是种很难形容的友善可爱。和以往所看的演唱会不同的是，这次力宏在最后没有退场，而是直接演唱会安可曲，所以在最后《唯一》宣告结束时大家都还喊着”安可 安可“希望还有见他的机会。只是连乐队的乐手都收拾行装了，所以真的没有希望。
五，歌曲
总觉得这场演唱会非常仓促，感觉上没有台北的那一场尽兴，前后只有两个半小时而已。回来查阅了一下DVD，才证实原来几首歌都没有演唱。例如《第一个清晨》，《白纸》，《你不在》，我想可能是因为场地限制的缘故吧，没有搭建的平台或天桥，所以很多新颖的片段都无法施展。不过值得一提的是力宏在用小提琴拉奏《julia》之前拉了一曲电影经典主题歌（暂时忘了名字），那声音真是悠扬，也是那个时候全场陷入了宁静，看到坐在我前面的那些新加坡明星们也都听的如痴如醉。他真的太有才华了。
六，其他
看过台北演唱会DVD的歌迷应该对那个20岁澳洲吉他手印象很深刻吧？他不仅在各地给歌迷都留下了好的印象，在新加坡也同样拥有不少忠诚的fans，在演唱会结束之后，就有人跑到舞台前呼喊着他的名字让他过来拿礼物，这个可爱的小男孩一开始还很害羞，最后还是下台来领了，于是围上一群人，我也在其中，同他握手，还拍到了一张比较清晰的照片。他不仅年轻而且吉他技巧高超，最惹人喜欢的还是他的可爱。

2006香港蓋世英雄演唱會記事
時間:2006年8月25日20:25pm
2006年8月26日20:30pm
地點:香港紅磡體育館
2002年的2月2日這是我第一次為了聽演唱會出國,香港-力宏第一場的海外售票演唱會。時隔四年,力宏再站上紅磡,我們又回來了,回來這個大家當年都在的那場演唱會地點,不同的是四年後我們成了一家人-力宏台灣歌迷會的成員。
再走進紅磡,所有一切景物依舊,四年似乎沒有在這棟建築物留下歲月的痕跡,在夜裡依然是獨特的身影!一入館內, 依序走到屬於我們的座位,拿起相機,趕緊拍下第一次這麼近距離可以拍攝到舞台佈景的機會,這才明白【蓋世英雄】四個字,原來是透過燈光投射下呈現的字樣呢!
舞台說實在不大, 對看過多場演唱會的我而言,有點擔心這兩場演唱會的表演, 會不會因為舞台而受限呢? 流暢的廣東話介紹整場演唱會即將開始的訊息,大家已經開始尖叫歡呼了, 一隻巨龍在武師的舞動中出場, 令人目眩神迷的色彩增添這舞龍靈動的神韻,而紅色布幕拉開, 力宏身穿銀色長袍,手上是紅色大旗,帥氣站立升降舞台的最高處,那盛氣凌人的姿勢馬上揮動手上的大旗,一個和京劇武生的過門對招, 一個力宏一躍而過京劇武生的飛踢引起觀眾陣陣驚呼聲!脫去長袍,力宏開口唱:「蓋世英雄到來…..」 哇! 全場像可以掀開屋頂的震耳呼聲!
我們沒有交談就自動站起來一起搖晃手上『台灣』牌子,大聲一起唱跳【蓋世英雄】囉! 因為我們周圍全是來自世界各地的歌迷們, 有日本, 新加坡 , 馬來西亞, 韓國歌迷和內地歌迷, (還有泰國歌迷但是沒和我們做在同一區), 我們這一區的熱情可是最明顯的喔! 向君說我們做的新牌子,應該會吸引力宏的目光吧!我點頭稱是.
力宏唱著【放開你的心】,不會吧! 從第二首歌就開始全館大合唱的盛況了!剛剛上台的力宏, 難掩緊張,畢竟四年半未在紅磡開唱, 大家的熱情讓力宏臉上緊繃的線條, 慢慢轉為柔和,漸漸放鬆,肢體動作也更自然律動。力宏問:「愛你等於愛什麼…」大家回答:「愛自己」,力宏回答:「that’s right」,【愛你等於愛自己】的歌聲歡樂融合每顆期待的心!
力宏說：「香港的朋友,我回來了…」館內又是一陣歡呼聲「我好掛住你們(廣東話),你們長大了不少,我有沒有長大…?」大家更熱烈的歡呼聲回應力宏, 力宏演唱會上說了很多廣東話, 當然少不了廣東歌囉! 力宏說:「我答應你們會唱廣東歌的」【比你更好】抒情上場, 我用自己快忘光的歌詞記憶, 發音不標準的跟著唱,(【愛的就是你】的廣東版就是【比你更好】,但是歌詞和編曲不同), 這時候已經有歌迷伸長手臂等力宏走向她, 等待能將花送給力宏呢! 唱完, 先謝謝大家,力宏問大家:「聽不聽的明(廣東話)?」我雖然不知道力宏唱不唱的標準, 那誠意是獲得全場滿滿的掌聲的! 接下來,力宏隨機請觀眾席一對情侶上台, 問他們的名字? 交往多久?今天對你們而言是什麼特別的日子嗎? 等等問題,然後問他們最想聽力宏唱什麼歌,答案是【Kiss Goodbye】,力宏還頑皮的要情侶現場親一下, 惹來台下觀眾的叫好聲.這對情侶下台前, 力宏還送上代言的手機給他們,謝謝他們願意上台來.這段 ,雖然看得出來是特別安排的, 卻讓全場觀眾輕鬆莞薾一笑呢! 【Kiss GoodBye 】有先前這段安排的鋪陳下, 更添浪漫的氣氛!唱【永遠的第一天】時, 力宏走回升降舞臺中央, 彷彿隨著力宏的歌聲,我們也看見力宏眼裡永遠的第一天畫面!
DJ-宗華帶我們呼著口號,「我說蓋世,你說英雄」…在DJ以「霸氣傲中原 王者揚烽煙 力拔山河天 宏威征凱旋」的呼喚下, 力宏彈跳上舞台,【YA!Birthday】和短暫帶過的【我就喜歡】銜接上【女朋友】一連串快歌熱舞, 觀眾沒有間斷的鼓噪聲和音樂形成拉鋸戰, 力宏的歌聲舞蹈勝出! 讓四面台的每一面觀眾站起來揮動螢光棒和長型加油棒!【情敵貝多芬】活潑旋律延續這波愉快的畫面, 直到力宏隱遁下舞台.樂手和合音老師熟練配合Solo, 讓力宏有時間為下一段表演準備. 坐著圓椅背著吉他的力宏,忽然隨著舞台升上舞台, 大家先以掌聲歡迎力宏再度回到舞台, 力宏說:「來到我的音樂教室了」, 哈哈!我們這時都不知道力宏的葫蘆裡這次要賣什麼藥, 要教我們什麼新的音樂課程.( 紅磡四面舞台的設計,除了考驗歌手的人氣,更是考驗歌手的演唱實力,因為任何一面的觀眾如果不熱情, 我想是很直接影響台上表演者的感受的.) 力宏利用四面台的優勢, 要讓全場每位觀眾都有參與音樂教室. 力宏是這樣教我們的,每一面觀眾在力宏帶領示範下, 各負責一部音階的和音, 這樣我們全館就有四部和聲了, 真是聰明的安排! 大概只有王老師有辦法分辨我們全場音準不準, 哈哈! 我們全館觀眾在王老師的指揮下試了一兩次才勉強過關! 嘿嘿! 如果你當時也在現場,應該難忘我們唱得哩哩啦啦(台語)時, 王老師臉上那逗趣的表情吧! 現在想想還是覺得這段的互動稱得上經典囉!
(回憶帶我回到2002年演唱會當天,猶記力宏當年是整個人用單手拉著繩子支撐身體,掛在紅磡的空中演唱【不要害怕】, 我當時真是害怕,害怕力宏有個什麼一不小心, 那時力宏還邊唱邊揮手, 我真的是嚇岀一身冷汗呢!)【不要害怕】這時我們一起唱真是剛剛好, 因為真的要不要害怕得唱好王老師幫我們以吉他伴奏的副歌部份呀! 才不辜負王老師方才努力的教導喔! 出乎意料, 全場我們的合聲唱得好聽,力宏一臉陶醉的微笑, 讓我們隨著音樂左右搖晃身體呢! 力宏介紹台上三位樂手,並說明這段是unplugged部分,【大城小愛】和【WHY】在木吉他的弦音伴奏唱出兩種截然不同的感受! 力宏全新打造的專屬麥克風果然使力宏的原音更真實得呈現!
在第二天的演唱會的這時候, 力宏介紹一些當天到場的好朋友,像是汪明荃、房祖名等,特別是李安導演也坐在觀眾席給力宏支持打氣, 可見一陣閃光燈閃不停的拍攝著.鋼琴已經在舞臺上了, 力宏坐在鋼琴面前,力宏問:「你們還想不想再唱?」當然我們的回答是「想」,這時台上的乾冰造成很大煙幕效果, 力宏一邊彈琴一邊說:「鋼琴著火了(廣東話)…」大家懂得力宏的幽默而發出陣陣笑聲呢!【一首簡單的歌】的前奏一出來,又是一次歡呼! 還有人喊「力宏,I Love you」喔! 力宏的鋼琴伴奏下,我們再一次完美副歌大合唱! 不論是抒情動人的【流淚手心】, 還是爵士曲風的【LoveLoveLove】,這熟悉的旋律無不伴隨集體的歌聲迴盪館內, 試想, 力宏真的創作了無數的好歌, 陪我們走過低潮, 也陪我們經歷快樂! 【LoveLoveLove】的尾聲, 力宏一手在琴鍵上, 一手拿著鼓棒, 接下來這段鼓藝不輸2002年306度迴轉打鼓的精采喔! 大家自動隨著鼓聲打拍子, 力宏的鼓聲越密, 我們的拍子就越大聲, 力宏完美打完最後一小節, 掌聲卻沒有停止的持續一分鐘, 直到力宏說:「今晚有一個非常特別的人….我出道早期的王力宏還有一點模仿他唱歌….」力宏用模仿的嗓音唱著:「我和你吻別….」天呀!我的耳朵沒有聽錯吧! 真的宛如張學友的歌聲耶! 我心想〝猴塞類〞真的好像喔! 如雷掌聲在力宏的唱【吻別】的歌聲, 也在大家歡聲雷動下,歌神-張學友出場了!
張學友和力宏合唱搖滾版的【吻別】, 聽來一點也不感傷,反而熱絡全場沸騰到頂點的氣氛呢! 張學友毫不掩飾對力宏的欣賞,連兩人第一次面的印象還記得清清楚楚, 還誇獎力宏是這個音樂圈少數真的有才華會演奏多項樂器, 人又真得是帥的歌手! 力宏真的是個謙虛又誠懇的音樂人,因為當張學友一邊誇讚力宏時, 力宏就像學生一樣, 模樣認真的聽著, 臉上竟是害羞和不好意思的神情,( 那表情真的讓我想摸摸力宏的頭說:「你真是難得的一位優秀又謙虛的音樂人!」) 學友哥每誇讚力宏一句, 全場滿是爆滿的掌聲歡呼! 學友哥還不忘說:「今年的金曲獎輸給你,真是輸得心服口服。」力宏反過來說:「You are one and only 的歌神！」我們也以掌聲歡呼回應力宏對張學友的感謝! 這個時刻應該讓人落淚的, 因為一位是前輩歌神風範, 一位是晚生後輩謙遜亮節, 但是氣氛太溫暖而讓我露出笑容! 接著,學友哥讓汗水溼透的力宏下台換衣服, ,因為他說他知道力宏會得廣東歌不多, 所以帶來一首廣東歌「寂寞的男人」, 歌神的歌聲果然名不虛傳, 雖然我聽不明他唱的所有歌詞, 卻被他渾厚宏亮的歌聲感動! 心中感謝有力宏邀請歌神張學友擔任嘉賓, 讓今晚的紅磡閃爍著的是兩顆永恆的星星! 星期六演唱會的嘉賓是吳建豪,因為和力宏的好友誼帶來自己幾個月後才會發行的專輯新歌「零時差」, 吳建豪的舞蹈靈活有力,也引起演唱會上另一波的騷動!
穿著白色燕尾服的力宏 ,隨著舞台上升, 深情款款唱著【Forever Love】, 除了聽到力宏的溫柔歌聲, 全場柔和歌聲包圍整個紅磡, 一兩萬人一起唱KTV的感覺就是這樣吧!力宏也將胸前口袋的玫瑰, 投送給現場唯一幸運的觀眾, 力宏溫馨的說;「我喜歡聽你們唱歌！」我們像是被誇獎的小朋友,個個臉帶開心笑容喔! 力宏從小到大的好朋友來囉!- 小提琴。力宏介紹他即將演奏的曲子是電影「新天堂樂園」的主題曲,哇!真是開心還能在這裡聽到力宏用小提琴演奏這首曲子! 這首對我很有意義的一首曲子! 眼淚還是自然的流下感動的證據!【Julia】迅速一掃我沉溺的情緒,不用說大家都站起來了,歡樂的歌聲充斥這圓形建築物,彷彿所有的快樂凝結於空氣永遠不會消失。
DJ-宗華再度用音樂陪襯代表西方的b-boys舞蹈,也用東方曲調音樂為東方武生壯勢,這段中西尬舞和台北演唱會不一樣,明顯加入新的舞蹈動作和新的功夫比畫,最後結尾前的疊羅漢,真是不簡單呀!【在梅邊】的Rap掀起演唱會另一個高潮,真是太帥了的Rap功力! 真佩服美國長大的力宏,中文Rap的比以中文為母語的我們Rap的快速和口齒清楚! 力宏介紹『Chinked-out』曲風,近來的兩張專輯分別有少數民族音樂,京劇昆曲和Hip-POP的結合, 希望讓我們有耳目一新的感覺！【在梅邊】的澎湃情緒轉為溫婉柔和的【花田錯】,【心中的日月】的中板旋律又將我們拉回香格里拉的仙境! 力宏唱【心中的日月】時時將麥克風遞給現場的歌迷唱,由於唱的音準, 力宏還問妹妹今年幾歲?力宏笑著對合音老師說:「那位妹妹唱得很好,說不定可以加入你們了!」讓大家都笑了呢! (我覺得香港的觀眾因為行之多年有紅磡這樣的演唱會場地, 養成他們有看演唱會的水準文化, 意思是他們知道買票進場看演唱會就該給表演者最熱情的掌聲和最投入的現場支持, 這也是能在紅磡開演唱會最過癮的事情.)
力宏感謝許多人,有演唱會製作單位,贊助廠商,有崔正東先生,造型師,髮型師,梳化,,當然少不了來自世界各地飛來香港的歌迷朋友和在地香港歌迷朋友的支持. 新疆維吾爾族的歌曲-【在那遙遠的地方】,力宏演奏充滿老靈魂的二胡琴聲, 讓我們是聽得入神,也聽得動容!【龍的傳人】帶動的不只是氣氛,每個在場的老老少少,激動熱烈的一起唱屬於黑頭髮黃皮膚這一群人的歌曲, 漫天飛佈的彩帶,似乎宣布演唱會即將落幕。
力宏下台了,我們的心情都還下不了台,熱情的呼喚力宏上台,再帶給我們更多的歌曲!
力宏再上台了,先一一介紹並謝謝樂團樂手,介紹樂團「幕後黑手」吳慶隆,也是力宏出道第一張專輯就開始合作的「幕後推手」!力宏感性的說:「以後不用再等四年了,因為天天都有…」(我想力宏是指大家期盼多年的演唱會DVD終於在上個月發行了,我們不但是可以珍藏,也可以天天隨時欣賞演唱會)【唯一】在不捨的歌聲中落幕! 也為力宏四年後再一次香港開唱寫下圓滿的驚嘆號!
後記: 有出席今年台北小巨蛋的歌迷朋友,還是 念不忘台北兩場演唱會,即使這兩場香港演唱會的氣氛是這麼的好! 張學友的「雪狼湖」在北京最後一場演出落幕時, 他感性感動的流淚說:「感謝大家陪我圓夢!」我因為他的真誠執著於音樂理想而落淚!
力宏出道一路走來, 風風雨雨,一樣努力堅持音樂理想而成長, 力宏帶著他的音樂,分享給我們的其實不僅僅只有音樂….在這個不完美的世界, 感謝有力宏的存在, 讓這個世界還有美好的一面!

2006/8/26: 王力宏演唱會 爆發全方位音樂力量
撰文：區家曆
Source:【2006.8.28 香港經濟日報】
王力宏的蓋世英雄巡迴演唱會，上週五來到香港紅館舉行。如果看過他早前推出的臺灣演唱會DVD，定必見識過王力宏的十八般武藝，在香港的這一站，王力宏繼續其多功能的表演能力，中西樂器看來均難不到他。雖然他的歌曲在港並非首首流行，但現場爆發的活力足以感染觀眾。
在臺灣的當紅男歌手中，王力宏似乎是最有音樂家氣質，從出道伊始已經強調其音樂才華。早期的他比較斯文,曲風也偏向西化，4年前在香港的演唱會，臺上的爆炸力不算太大. 近年的他積極鑽研華人hip hop，將跳舞、DJ、rap的特色跟中國風結合，成功開創新風格,在臺灣的聲勢和人氣作了幾級跳，兩張大碟《心中的日月》及《蓋世英雄》同樣口碑載譽。
上週五在紅館舉行的兩場演唱會,是王力宏年初於臺灣小巨蛋體育館演唱會的延續，演唱曲目、歌曲編排大致相同。第二次來港開演唱會，舞臺採用四面台，觀乎入座率幾近全滿，看來雖然他較少來港宣傳，但也擁有不少本地歌迷。
演奏型歌手
以流行歌星來說，王力宏可能是在臺上演奏最多樂器的一位。他的演唱會幾乎是以各種樂器來做分場，這晚玩過的樂器，順序是電結他、木結他、鋼琴、鼓、小提琴和二胡，樂器的種類比他在臺上換過的衫還要多，可說是一位演奏型的創作歌手。
既然他近年主攻中西合璧的音樂，演唱會一開首，王力宏便穿了一襲金色長衫，伴著一群以京劇戲服作打扮的舞蹈員出場，演唱今次的主題曲《蓋世英雄》雄，這首結合了昆曲、京劇、rap的集大成作品，最能代表王力宏近年的風格。新鮮感十足的表演效果，迅即吸引了觀眾的注意力。
他這種自創的“chinked-out”作品，在開場作了一首intro之後，便暫告一段落，要來到差不多完場才再度出現，而中段便以不同的音樂風格，讓他演繹出道近十年的流行曲。
多款樂器露一手
相比起臺灣那場演唱會，香港的演出作出了不少刪減，令節奏更為明快，像王力宏的樂器solo環節，便比臺灣唱少一些歌曲。可能他知道香港觀眾看show愛熱鬧，在結他unplug一節前,也打趣道要唱好些抒情歌，希望大家有心理準備。其實這環節是他的實力show off，他先跟3位外籍結他手，一同彈奏了《不要害怕》、《大城小愛》、《W.H.Y》三首新舊作品。然後他又在鋼琴前，演奏了富古典味的《一首簡單的歌》，再曲風一轉，以爵士鋼琴手法演唱《Love Love Love》，最後由鋼琴換了一組套鼓，顯露了一手鼓技。
接近後段時，換了白色禮服的王力宏，拿起小提琴，演奏了一段電影《星光伴我心》的主題音樂，再接上他早期的作品，甚具西班牙色彩的《Julia》，一幽怨一爽快的曲風，讓他展現了兩種不同的小提琴風格。
中曲西唱壓軸
演唱會的壓軸部份，自是捽碟DJ與京劇演員再度登場，王演唱一系列中曲西唱“chinked-out”作品。先來一首混合了昆曲的《在梅邊》，王力宏一口氣以京腔唸出數百字的rap詞,讓觀眾大開耳界；在一首悅耳的小品《花田錯》後,他再唱出結合了新疆民族音樂特色的《在那遙遠的地方》，最後以一首換上搖滾面貌的《龍的傳人》，結束了安歌前的演唱部份。
作為一位實力偶像歌手，王當然有不少冧歌，這晚出現的《Forever Love》、《永遠的第一天》外，最後他也以另一慢版情歌《唯一》作為完場曲，甚有career song的意味。
張學友力贊
首晚演出，王力宏便找來其偶像張學友當嘉賓，二人合唱了一首rock版的《吻別》，張更以嘹亮高音力壓王力宏,盡顯前輩風範。
西裝骨骨的學友，說十年前初見王力宏，便覺得他是罕見既有外形又具才華的歌手。張一口氣用廣東話說出這番讚美話，王看來不明所以，學友說：“不用裝啦，你都聽得懂吧。”王力宏便像學生見到老師般，只笑著不懂回答。
1) 開場時，王力宏揮著大旗,演唱《蓋世英雄》。
2) 在跟外籍結他手的unplug時段，王力宏唱了數首不同風格的抒情歌。
3) 張學友除跟王合唱，還獨唱了廣東歌《寂寞的男人》。
4) 拿著小提琴的王力宏，一派斯文才子模樣。
5) 穿著hip hop舞衣，同時又演奏二胡,是他近年的招牌伎倆。
演唱曲目
蓋世英雄/放開你的心/愛你等於愛自己/公轉自轉/比你更好/Kiss Goodbye/永遠的第一天/Ya Birthday/我就喜歡/女朋友/情敵貝多芬/不要害怕/大城小愛/W.H.Y/一首簡單的歌/流淚手心/Love Love Love/吻別(張學友合唱)/寂寞的男人(張學友)/Forever Love/Julia/在梅邊/花田錯/在那遙遠的地方/龍的傳人/唯

8月25日，王力宏香港盖世英雄演唱会
文字: Wenny Ho
Source:【2006-08-27/OurHome china】
谨以此文，纪念8月25日，王力宏香港盖世英雄演唱会
（一）行程篇
早上，7点，起床。
打开电脑，再次查看帖子，确认会员资料以及取票的问题。
8点半，关电脑，准备坐地铁去广州火车东站，和其他人会合。
9点半，到达火车站，点人数，集体买火车票去深圳罗湖过关，再坐电气化火车去香港。
沿路，有17 人同行，大家都好兴奋，一路上说说笑笑的。
中午，11点半，到达深圳。
我们浩浩荡荡一行人，由罗湖过关。
另外，还要接一个女生，到香港后，share我和朋友订的房。
12点半，终于到了旺角。
然后，各自分开行动，约定晚上 7点在红馆售票处见面。
之后，我和另外两个房友一行四人，逛旺角。
3点之后，我们就步行去弭敦酒店，最惨的是，香港下了暴雨，可是来的快，停得也快。
好不容易，找到酒店，放下不必要的物品，稍微整理下自己，换上会服，就再次出发——往红馆迈进。
（二）偶遇篇
我们去到红馆附近，已经6点多了。
距离红馆一个人行道的位置，我们见到前面有十几个Fans聚集在后门，还有记者在场。
正当我们以为是力宏的时候，大家就尖叫“学友”，然后就见到戴鸭舌帽的男人上车离开了。
想不到，一到红馆，就见到学友的背影。
之后，虽然学友离开了，但前排的Fans还没有离开，所以我们也挤进去，一看究竟。
只见，红馆后门，有一张放着烧猪的台，旁边还有工作人员准备着。
不用猜也知道是为力宏晚上的演唱会作拜神的准备。
等了十多分钟，dancers都出来了，站在两边，后来，穿着西装的几个貌似高层的人也出来了。
又等了一会，力宏终于走出来了。
他穿着普通的T-shirt和运动裤，头上戴了头巾，估计是刚彩排完。
只见他在工作人员的指示下，拿着三支大香，对着东、南、西、北四个方位，各拜一次。
然后就去插香，有点手忙脚乱喔，这时，旁边的工作人员也适时走过去，帮力宏插香了。
之后，他看见围观的Fans，就朝我们挥手，微笑，引发一连串尖叫声。
力宏和身边的dancers聊了几句，大概是加油鼓励的话，就想往后台的方面离开了。
真是来去匆匆，不过很快，他又走出来了。
原来，他还要烧冥纸，拜神呢。呵呵，又是一阵手忙脚乱。
力宏大概现身10多分钟，就谋杀了fans无数内存，那演唱会开始还得了？！
力宏走的时候，还有和大家挥手，说再见。
（三）收获篇和工作篇
因为工作的需要，我很早就到了红馆。
什么工作？就是做义工。由于有部分外地歌迷来不及在演唱会前拿票，所以有很多票在我手上，需要在演唱会前，分派给他们。
茫茫人海，的确比较难认人。不过凭借大家都是力宏的fans这份信念，我们还是顺利地认出对方，我亦都准时将票分派出去。
演唱会之前，就知道会有力宏演唱会的边商品买。
而我亦很快就决定要买什么作为演唱会的纪念品——“盖”字手链和“盖”字手机绳。
花费了我125港纸，送了一枚胸章。
后来，又有力宏以前的旧正版碟买。
我从中选购了一张港版的“不可能错过你”演唱会版VCD，花费80港纸。
（四）演唱会开场篇
大概8点，我们就开始进场。
入场前，工作人员分派打气捧给大家，原来这次演唱会是“索爱”赞助的。
因为，之前就知道，我们的位置在舞台背面，所以也很早释然。
后来发现，原来有划分歌迷专区，，所有外地歌迷都集合一起，而香港歌迷就在正面那边，有点心理不平衡。
这次令我印象深刻的歌迷，有日本同韩国两个地方。
首先，日本比较多人，她们的组织也很好；韩国有两个女生过来，她们的普通话很标准，差点以为沟通不了。
另外，台湾方面都有不少死忠fans一站一站跟着力宏巡回演唱会。
由于红馆的舞台限制，力宏的出场不能再吊钢丝，只能改以在升高的舞台上舞狮出场。
虽然气势略显不足，但出于安全考虑，我还是宁愿他不吊钢丝的。
开场歌仍然是“ 盖世英雄&放开你的心&爱你等于爱自己”。
力宏一出场，尖叫声就不停，我们这边区域的歌迷都全部站起来支持了。
原本站起来看是不对的，但由于我们是内场的位置，距离舞台近，而且位置偏低，所以即使站起来，也不会挡到后面。
很明显地，力宏更瘦了，看得我们很心疼，清楚他凡事都亲力亲为，力求完美，只能希望他多休息，不用那么辛苦。
由于舞台不是很大，所以力宏每首歌都能绕着四面走一圈——唱着“公转自转”绕着我们转。
由于演唱会的歌曲，大致上都跟台北、上海一样，所有歌就能熟记歌词，所以全程，我都有在跟唱。
之后，力宏唱了“爱的就是你” 的粤语版，首次掀起合唱高潮。
唱完之后，还用粤语跟大家讲
“香港的朋友，我好挂住你地啊，第一次开演唱会就系香港，已经四年啦，你地都长大了，我有长大吗？”
“没有……”
笑声一片，尖叫声一片，混合成演唱会最动听的声音之一。
（五）演唱会乐器篇
电吉他 —— 开场的“盖世英雄”
木吉他——不要害怕
钢琴——流泪手心
小提琴—— 一段力宏自己最喜欢的电影主题曲，由于本人孤陋寡闻，只觉得耳熟，说不出名字。
鼓——love lovel ove
二胡——心中的日月
（六）演唱会嘉宾篇
演唱会前，我一直在猜测，除了Vanness外，还有谁是天王巨星，又有时间出席力宏的演唱会？
直到答案揭晓前，我还没有猜出来，是张学友。
之后，我以为学友是第二场的嘉宾，一度有点失望。
幸好24号的新闻，说Vanness是尾场嘉宾，开心得我……
可以一次看到我生平最欣赏的两个歌手合作，这种感受就有如上天眷顾，给我奇迹。
力宏在介绍学友出场前，说，“ 距系我偶像，如果大家听过我早期的歌，就知道我有在模仿他的声线”
接着，力宏开始唱“吻别”，唱到第一段的高潮，学友在升降台上出现，力宏就对着学友飙歌。
两个实力唱将的实力果然不同凡响，全场气氛热烈，大家都情不自禁站起来加油打气。
唱完吻别，学友就对大家说，
“其实，我好多年前，就识得力宏”
“ 呢几年，见到距成长得甘快，我都好开心”
“系乐坛里面，既靓仔，又有才华，力宏绝对系其中一个”
“好多歌手，就算后天努力学乐器，都没咩成效；所以力宏算有得天独厚的条件”
“之前，系金曲奖上输比力宏，我都输得心悦诚服”——力宏说，学友哥不是歌王，是歌神了。
这时，站在一边的力宏，有点害羞，不好意思，头低低的，呵呵。
后来，学友为了证实力宏唱歌卖力，全身都湿透，就伸手隔着衬衫去摸力宏的胸部，对观众说，是湿的。
这是学友的幽默方式，也是学友鼓励后辈的方式。
力宏郑重感谢学友之后，就下台换衣服了。
学友说，“力宏叫我唱粤语歌，距话自己全副身家得三首粤语歌，哈”
“所以跟住，带比大家一首，同今次演唱会有点渊源的歌“寂寞的男人””
印象中，隐约记得这首歌，是在1999 年“有个人”专辑里面的歌，不过还没有去证实自己的记忆。
最后，我只可以话，歌神的唱功不是“盖”的。
（七）演唱会服装篇
力宏的服装和台北、上海的都差不多。
印象深刻的是，一开场的长袍，金光闪闪，够抢眼。
另外，据报道，香港演唱会有一套新衫，在我印象中，就是学友出场那段穿的那件浅蓝色衬衫。
不过，人帅，穿什么都好看，哈。
（八）演唱会完结篇
其实，写到这里，已经很累了。
但是，内心很挣扎，既想快点写完，又不愿意承认演唱会已经结束，来到这里，我的记忆也枯竭了。
当力宏重新上场唱“在梅边”的时候，我就感觉到，演唱会即将结束，看看时间也将近10点半。
花田错、心中的日月、在那遥远的地方、龙的传人结束了演唱会。
几分钟后，在观众的热情“安可” 声中，力宏换上最后一套衣服出场。
不可能错过你，一一介绍乐队成员，dancers成员，幕后的jim lee & 音乐总监 kinglong 。
这时，我身边有个女生，已经不知道哭了多少次了，我还递纸巾给她。
直到唯一的旋律再次在脑海回荡，新旧回忆，一一涌现眼前。
想到最初，喜欢力宏，渴望见到力宏，等待，等待，再等待，
终于在今年圆梦，直到今晚的演唱会，第一次面对力宏两个多小时，感受他的音乐魅力，
我告诉自己，这么多年的等待都是值得的，我答应自己，我绝对不会忘了这一晚。
这一刻，我在听台北演唱会的“唯一”， 仍然是那个有着淡淡忧伤、浓浓情感的声音的力宏，
那一刻，我终于控制不住自己的泪水，缓缓涌出眼眶，本来想努力忍住的，我告诉自己，不可以哭，以后还有机会见他的。
直到最后一句“你就是我的唯一，两个世界都变形，回去谈何容易，确定你就是我的唯一，独自对着电话说我爱你”，
泪水就像决堤般，原本跟唱的声音已经是梗咽了。
现在，我不得不承认，演唱会是真的结束了，真的真的结束了，但他的声音会一直存在记忆中，永不消退。
这是我对自己的承诺。

2006/8/12: Can you feel my world 上海直击2006 王力宏盖世英雄演唱会
Author: unknown
2006-08-28/當代歌壇/342期
在前面的话：
力宏喜欢跟懂自己的人交流，就像今天的演唱会，灯光很漂亮，节目花样翻新，不就是为了这个聚会吗？王力宏的演唱会随随便便也有人捧场，但那不在他的追求范围，他很注重精神，交流不就是这样吗？控制舞台的经验力宏多得很，但舞台上的那个大男生他依然腼腆，他把歌迷请上台唱<爱因为在心中〉,虽然沦为配唱，可他那表情明显是等不及把这个节目早点呈现给大家。他绝对是不善于任何表现形式主义的，所以他唯一剩下的精神世界就更丰富真成了。演唱会的每一分钟都很精彩，就把心弦最共鸣的时刻铭记下来共勉吧。
盖世英雄到来：
“我说盖世，你说英雄，我说力宏，你说英雄.....”台上有DJ在引导歌迷“盖世英雄，力宏英雄....”台下歌迷自觉呼应，直到力宏出场，力宏在台上喊：“盖世”台下应：“英雄”。台上：“力宏”台下：“英雄”，这就是你一言我一语水乳交融？我们的英雄就这样被请出来，刚刚开始，就让人心情那么无法平静。“下面是王老师的音乐教室，大家知道鼓有很多种节拍，HIP-HOP节奏是这样的，反节拍....”他在台上示范，很快台下就响起整齐的鼓掌声，鼓掌声持续中.....手疼也忘记了。他的表情先是羞涩紧张然后开始骄傲舒展，英雄主义这样创造出来，他就是我们心目中的真心英雄。
他们都来看他的演唱会
当镜头晃向台下的王爸爸 妈妈 力德力凯的时候，歌迷群中爆发出热烈的呐喊，镜头晃向家澍的时候，喊声达到了顶峰，这个小孩在歌迷中红着呢，尤其大家看到他长大更加可爱的小脸。其实根嘉澍比起来，这个演唱会最稀罕的人物是哥哥力德，这是他第一次带自己的一双儿女来看弟弟的演唱会。力宏在台上一一介绍自己最亲爱的家人，脸上洋溢着无比的幸福。王妈妈可亲的始终微笑着，而内向的王爸爸则手拿dv一直拍一直拍。2004年的演唱会王爸爸有来，今年又来，虽然他依然不发表什么言论，但是幸福却是明显加倍增长。力宏很期盼这个演唱会，一方面也是因为家人来观看。他有一种交卷的满足感，因为荣耀和喜悦，最该跟家里人分享。
爱 因为在心中
这可能是舞台上表演人数最多的演唱会，他们共同表演同唱一首歌。其实2004演唱会上，力宏也请来自己的歌迷表演“手牵手”，相信自从有了<爱因为在心中〉之后，力宏应该就已经开始盘算着怎么把这首歌唱到演唱会上了吧。今天他的梦想终于变成了现实，歌迷们上了台明显有点紧张，但是台下所有歌迷和力宏给他们和声，气氛依然完美得可怕。大家都投注了太多的感情在里面，因为每个人都觉得自己被涉及在其中。我们都不是一个人都不是孤单的一个人，“与你分享/不论是失眠成功都会感动.....爱因为在心中/平凡而不平庸”感恩的心，感谢有你，这是每一个人共同的心声，夜晚因此而无比温馨，荡漾着一波又一波的感动。
18般武艺
才艺是力宏每场演唱会都要秀的，虽然我们看得多了，可是看不厌，因为歌迷心中没有谁比他拉小提琴更帅，没有谁比他弹钢琴更王子。没有谁比他拉二胡更动人。王力宏的情歌唱了那么多年，那优美蜿蜒的旋律，把大家都绕进去了，这个深情的男人，他就算没有爱情的滋润，也还是那么深情。
大城小爱
力宏的演唱会上，出现最多的场面就是：大合唱。力宏用最擅长的小提琴拉着
华人嘻哈
演唱会上最受欢迎的是<心中的日月><花田错><在梅边>等新歌，虽然整个演唱会中占的比重不大，但是音乐以出来，歌迷们就疯了。<在梅边>之前是一段昆曲表演，听到名角张军说出最后一句“不在梅边在柳边”，台下顿时爆炸了。这首歌迷们很难完整说唱完毕的歌，就是有这种魔力。而<花田错><心中的日月>就唱得更溜了。看来力宏的华人嘻哈尝试的确实是影响力不小，这是对他最好的肯定和鼓励。最后舞台上黑了下来，力宏没有像一般演唱会那样急着从舞台上退场，而是镇定的站在舞台上，他在一一介绍幕后的英雄们。“这位是...这位是...”力宏声音不大，平静中格外多感情，那些人有我们耳熟能详的吴庆隆，马敏芬，都是第一次听说的，它们在我们的耳朵里一样：是力宏的真诚，他的感谢如此用心，用心的令人一次又一次地感动。跟这样的人一起，再付出都值了。
From 2004 to 2006
力宏从04到06，舞台上的力宏模样并没有什么分别，甚至连衣服的风格都有几分相似，一样简单而体现个性。但力宏明显已经不从前更加沉稳笃定，他的表现力更强了，不在于他的歌舞是否更加火热，而是他的内在气质的散发，就算他不说话，舞台也一样是他的。
今年的歌迷大部分是两年前的那些人，看过了一场，就不有不看這一场的道理。歌迷们一样给力宏最大的支持，他们为他呐喊，与他合唱，坚守秩序，最大的不同是内场相当多的票都被日本歌迷买走了。
会场同样的八万人体育场，但是营造的却是不同的氛围，04年的精致劲爆到今年的温馨默契，从天而降的设计，伸到歌迷上空摇臂，与歌迷接近的通道，都表明了力宏要更亲近大家的心。
花絮 04年最难忘的记忆是安可之前8万人整体呼喊力宏的名字长达几分钟的震撼，而今天，这大部头的感情被溶解在一个又一个的细节里，化作绵绵的温情，力宏对大家说了好多话，他说上海话，他用小提琴说的话，他让大家比谁唱歌的声音小，再比谁的声音大，把大家从冷静带到最high的用心，都让我们无比感动。
特別感謝OurHomeChina 驕傲的公主提供手打文章

感謝 —— 為力宏 不得不要說的話
作者:張軍
【2006-8-19昆曲張軍-新浪BLOG】
蓋世英雄”演唱會過去已快一周了，原本與力宏之間的一次簡單、愉快而有意義的合作，沒想到並沒有因為演唱會的結束而從人們的視線中消失。我的手機從演唱會之後一直沒有停過，陸續接到記者和朋友的電話，在這裏對大家的關心表示感謝。關於演唱會的報導，我很欣喜地看到大多數媒體和歌迷、戲迷給予了我們莫大的肯定和鼓舞。但是，也有不同的意見和聲音。
本來，任何一件事情一旦受到大家的關注，一定會有褒貶不一的態度，對於這一點見仁見智。但至少無論是媒體還是公眾，都應該對事件本身有一種起碼的客觀態度，而不是憑主觀的意志去臆斷猜測什麼。說實話，個別媒體和戲迷所謂為我“鳴不平”，認為此事讓我受委屈了，甚至拿我根本沒有說過的話用引號來引用，讓我受寵若驚、哭笑不得；至於個別媒體所謂我把力宏當作在年輕觀眾中普及昆曲的“救世主”，我恐怕更是不敢苟同。
事已至此，我覺得有必要站出來重申並再次強調幾點：
首先，我和力宏的合作非常愉快，我並沒有覺得自己被冷落或者不受尊重，原本這就是力宏的演唱會，“友情客串”的含義誰都明白，配角和陪襯又如何？演唱會的製作方給了我足夠的表演空間，但事先我仍堅持昆曲的部分不能過長，倒不是擔心喧賓奪主，而是昆曲的藝術特點決定的。我更不同意所謂力宏拿昆曲做道具的說法，本來流行音樂能夠吸納各種藝術元素的精華就是不容易的，更何況是中國傳統文化。從這點來說，我一直覺得力宏是一個藝術家，而不僅僅是簡單的歌手而已。
其次，現場演出的效果是非常好的。無論是我的家人、朋友還是素不相識的媒體、歌迷、戲迷，對於當晚現場的效果都是讚賞有嘉。歌迷給了昆曲所需要的安靜，同時也因為最後那句引出《在梅邊》的“他年得傍蟾宮客，不在梅邊在柳邊”而興奮和歡呼。至於有些媒體和歌迷質疑的現場音響問題，我想如此龐大的體育場本來就不是為演唱會的聲學效果而設計的，看臺聲音效果不佳應該不是王力宏演唱會才發生的，何必一葉障目，以偏概全來大做文章呢？
最後，力宏對傳統文化的熱愛和尊重是真實和發自內心的，這點至今讓我感動，而我對力宏的讚賞也是由衷的。雖然我和力宏的年齡相仿，但當表演結束後力宏再次把我請上臺，並且尊稱我為“張軍老師”的時候，還是讓我頗為意外的。而當我說到“感謝力宏讓那麼多年輕人因為他的歌而知道昆曲”時是非常由衷的讚歎，也是客觀的事實，為何到了某些人眼中就成了把力宏當成普及昆曲的“救世主”了呢？我想，面對如此偉大和厚重的藝術，我們只有尊重，誰都不可能是救世主，我們只能為了它的繼承和傳播做些努力而已。
本來對於事件的評述褒貶我大可不必回應什麼，但我希望大家不要因此去誤會兩位真心在為中國的音樂和藝術而努力的年輕人，我覺得對力宏的這種質疑和評判是不公平的，無論演出的效果讓大家產生何種感覺，成功也好，失敗也好，希望大家能夠諒解我們合作的初衷，不是標新立異、不是借題發揮、更不是對中華文化的不敬，而是一次藝術實踐的嘗試，一次為昆曲傳播所作的探索和努力。我真不明白，如此簡單的事情，為何因為昆曲的存在就變得如此沉重？本來昆曲面臨的生存環境就不樂觀，懇請那些根本不懂昆曲還拿出一副昆曲“救世主”姿態的人不要再打擊原本就不多的願為昆曲傳播而努力的藝人，以及嚇跑那些剛對昆曲產生一些興趣的年輕人。
如果大家真的愛護我們，就請支持我們！
在這裏我要再次感謝力宏的努力，索尼唱片公司、源活製作公司的支持，多數媒體和歌迷、戲迷朋友們對我的肯定和鼓勵，以及家人和同事們對我的關心和照顧。

08/12 王力宏『上海蓋世英雄』演唱會 - 歌迷小笔记
笔记 一
8月12日晚大约十点半
力宏说这是今晚最后的一首歌
全场跟着他一起唱，手中握着格桑花呀，美的让我忘了摘下
听了无数遍的旋律在耳边响起
体育馆内洋溢着我们的微笑，我们的泪水，我们的热情
力宏唱，你单纯我迷惘你恋家我流浪
山谷中这一切…………………………（话筒交给我们）
带不走
心中忽然有一种莫名的失落
今晚的一切都是我带不走的
力宏的声音
力宏的笑容
所有的开心与感动
只是短暂的三个小时
我甚至都没有拍照片，只是跟着你一起唱歌，一起开心，看你在舞台上尽情地展现。
可是无论如何，我真地看见你了
你就那幺真实地站在我的面前
唱那些我已经熟悉得不能再熟悉的歌曲
一刹那，看舞台灯光迷离，我竟然不知道自己身在何方
我要抓紧时间记下这下回忆
昨晚的一切我带不走
但是心中的回忆也是无法带走的
我会永远记住今天
因为你是我心中的日月
笔记 二
8月13日下午15点我一边听着台北演唱会的录音，一边回忆昨天点点滴滴
依然有一种无法形容的感动
昨天很辛苦的力宏在做什幺呢？
在休息还是准备回台湾的旅途。
多幺想去机场送你一程
可是你总是那幺低调的离开
而我又不是那幺铁杆的粉丝
对你的行踪完全不知
如果不想被打扰是你的愿望，我就静静祝福你一路好运
感谢你昨晚留给我们最美好的记忆
你的音乐，你的才华
我们的呼唤，我们的尖叫
交织成最美妙的乐章
可惜我很没出息，总是怀疑昨晚的一切是否真实
总是无法抑制自己的激动
结果脑袋中的画面总是有些朦胧
笔记 三
开场
当全场灯光忽然暗淡，一个甜美的女声响起的时候
不由自主的尖叫，挥舞手中的荧光棒
心扑通扑通跳起，暗暗告诫自己要镇静
喜欢这幺多年的歌手很快就要出现在自己的眼前了
这是我第一次看见你的真容
最后决定放弃书包中的相机
只是认真地看完整场演唱会
终于锣鼓响起，帷幕显现武行的影子
音箱传出的阵阵低音敲打着心脏
鼓声越来越密，一个武行腾空而起扯下帷幕，焰火四射
世界猛然安静
一身白衣的王子英姿飒爽屹立舞台中央
不，不仅仅是王子
是我们今晚的主角
是我们的盖世英雄
盖世英雄到来！熟悉的声音响起，整个会场沸腾了
大家开始跟着合唱。虽然知道自己位置算是靠前，不可以影响后面的朋友
但是不由自主地跳跃起来
第一次听到力宏的现场，我只能用震撼的形容
水准之高丝毫不逊色于CD
耳边是美妙的声音，眼前是帅帅的身影
我不住地问自己，这是真的吗？
很想看清楚力宏的脸，把目光转向大屏幕
又很怕错过舞台的细节，眼睛在不停的流转
就在我不停的转换间，又一首熟悉的歌曲响起了
绝对的大合唱——放开你的心
真的是一首非常适合的暖场曲目。
可是场内的我们几乎一开始就找到了HIGH的感觉
本以为依然是我说上海你说yo
可是这次力宏说，我说上你说海
还好我们配合得也算不错
要不要我继续？你说呢？我们才刚开始呢。更何况爱你就等于爱自己
虽然不只一次的看过这些录影，可是当双手跟着你一起挥舞，看你可爱的舞蹈，还是那幺的新鲜
力宏说两年后再次回来了。呵呵，两年前的演唱会出色，但是相信今晚的演唱会更加完美。你给了我们一个惊艳的开始
笔记 四
接下来这段是我的最爱，因为夹杂了太多的甜蜜回忆
首先是举起双手和力宏一起公转自转。
第一次知道力宏就是这首歌。
当年那个青涩的大男孩，在MTV里转圈飞扬的男孩
此刻正在舞台的中央带领八万人一起一遍一遍打转。
力宏，你有光阴如梭的感觉吗？
你那微笑的脸庞背后是否也在感叹时光飞逝？
眼角开始湿润，一个笑容抑制住眼泪
今天是个开心的日子，怎幺可以哭呢
接着力宏稍微变调开始演唱爱的就是你。
前奏响起的时候，心里热烘烘的
喜欢上力宏是因为这张专辑，这首歌。
陪伴了我整个高三的音乐，整个高三的声音
那个黑色的七月，因为有你而五彩缤纷
而多年后的今天，我居然听见你亲口唱这首歌，我怎幺能不激动
舞台上的你笑得很可爱，汗水顺着脸庞留下，却满是幸福的味道
你可知道台下的我早已控制不住自己的泪水，一边擦拭眼泪，一边轻轻跟你和
力宏说接下来是亲你们的歌曲，KISS GOODBYE。
我透过泪眼目送力宏站在笼子似的升降台上，慢慢升起
还调皮的说帮帮忙
想起MV里两个人一起坐在缆车里的幸福情景
力宏，快点找到自己的幸福吧
永远的第一天
一直以为歌手演唱太过熟悉的主打歌不过是走过场而已
而我们的力宏缓缓唱起，深夜机场冷清……恍然间我以为在听录音
你还是如此的投入，如此深情
力宏啊，你还在怀念永远的第一天吗？
多幺希望这幺多年以后，转过身，不过风淡云轻
你一定要做到哦
笔记 五
PART TIME到了
力宏下去换装，舞台中间有个DJ带领大家一起HIHG
我说盖世你说英雄
我说力宏你说英雄
就在阵阵呼唤声中，力宏终于上场了
一身酷酷的打扮
ya birthday
我就喜欢
都是轻松欢快的歌曲，全场跟着一起愉悦
最大的感叹力宏真的越来越会跳舞了
当然最大的爆点开始登场了
力宏说谁要做我的女朋友，台下一阵尖叫
私下认为力宏本人应该是个爱玩放得开的人，一如这段的表现
与DANCER亲密接触，耳鬓厮磨，有点坏怀说教你舌头绕
最后DANCER扯掉了他胸前的背心，性感暴露无余
台下自然是沸腾起来
呵呵，在大陆可以表演到这个尺度真的是很不错了
只是某人啊，你可知道你要害的多少人今夜无法入眠
有女朋友，可能也会有情敌
力宏唱起了这首成名曲，情敌贝多芬
而且还有些慵懒的倚靠在栏杆上，像个委屈而勇敢的大男孩
看着你笑容洋溢，我突然搭错神经，你真应该去做牙膏广告阿
笔记 六
乐器秀开始了。首先是吉他
力宏穿上了白衬衫，牛仔裤，非常清爽的感觉。
只能赞叹王子穿得再简单也有王子的气质
在上海这座大都市怎幺可以少了红透半边天的啦啦歌——大城小爱
又是一首万人合唱
一把吉他，力宏轻轻的哼唱，
其实简单纯粹也是另一种享受
力宏老师说现在是音乐教室，要教大家打拍子
于是全场在他的带领下，FOLLOW ME
台上台下完美的互动
王老师，我们是最聪明的学生吧
音乐开始越来越欢快，百听不厌的W-H-Y开始了
随着轻松的节奏，我们和力宏一起欢呼雀跃
WHY?呵呵，某人这幺多年摸爬滚打，恐怕有太多的问号在心中
但是无论如何，我们永远支持你
笔记 七
接下来这段时间我需要深刻反省一下，不知道是不是灵魂出窍
我还没有反应过来，就发现力宏已经端坐在钢琴前。
至于那座钢琴怎幺出现的，我是无从得知了
如果说力宏与吉他的搭配是轻松惬意，温暖休闲充满阳光的味道
那幺力宏与钢琴的组合绝对是浪漫奢华，丁冬的声音带领我们进入纯粹的空间
可惜这种感觉既亲密又疏离
首先是缓缓而来的流泪手心
其实更偏爱英文版本，因为总是觉得说英文的力宏最自然最真实
没有任何华丽的装饰，干净的嗓音犹如魔力一般
让我们心甘情愿的走进柔软的沙漠
力宏说接下来我为你们伴奏为你们和音
全场齐唱一首简单的歌
力宏，听到这幺多人都在唱你的歌，是怎样的感觉呢
又一个激动人心的时刻到了，因为 OurHome 的家人要上场了
力宏介绍说这是重量级的嘉宾，我们周围全是穿着会服的家人，立即以最热烈的尖叫，欢迎我们可爱的亲们
有人以不解的眼光看着我们这群疯子，呵呵，我们的世界，不是外人可以理解的
还看到了久仰大名的shane（听说中间有一些不如意,不过无论如何SHANE最后飚高音那段相当不错哦。用心作音乐的人一定可以成功的。SHANE加油哦）
曾经在金曲奖被惊为天人的LOVE LOVE LOVE ，我今天终于欣赏到了
难怪HEBE会一直赞叹太帅了
看着力宏投入在钢琴的世界里，我只能报以一次又一次的欢呼
一时间我只能埋怨自己语言的贫乏
笔记 八
离开钢琴，力宏又坐在鼓架前，和一群鼓手一起表演
那幺多双手，居然敲出如此整齐密室的声音！
力宏还痞痞的把腿跷在鼓上，敲击旁边的小鼓
完全是一种撩人的诱惑，让人不由自主地跟随
遥远的东方有一条龙，全场再次跟着力宏唱起这首龙的传人
力宏的舞蹈动作越来越纯熟，一定是努力了很久的
想起你在金曲奖上的感言，工欲善其事，必先利其器
其实你在各个方面都有努力，我们都有看到哦
力宏介绍柯友伦出场的时候，我很不厚道的坐了下来
实在是太累了，我现在打字的时候胳膊还有点酸痛，何况柯对我实在是太陌生了
特别是柯独唱的时候，我只有礼节性的鼓掌
全当是休息的时间
笔记 九
再次反省一下，貌似我又一次灵魂出窍。接下来这段的顺序我总是记不清
不过既然是回忆，那就按照我的回忆写下去吧
力宏说好久没唱这首歌，当前奏响起的时候，一阵惊喜，居然是爱错
似乎力宏很少现场唱这首歌
只能感叹自己运气不错，今晚居然有幸听到这首最爱的歌曲
力宏依然唱得那幺撕心裂肺，荡气回肠
你是在表演还是真正回忆起自己的爱错？
这幺多年走过的道路，你有后悔过吗？你有埋怨过吗？
其实无论如何，你也曾经拥有过那段真挚的感情，不是吗？
何必如此执着，多少不能原谅的错却不能从来过。
就像你自己说过的，你不会放弃的。
接下来又是个小小的高潮，力宏说我离你们太远了，慢慢走上升降机
随着你不在的歌声，力宏居然被送到了我们的头顶上
看得出，还是有一些紧张，力宏一只手一只扶着栏杆，可是歌声去丝毫没有影响
力宏冲我们微笑摆手，台下立即是此起彼伏的尖叫
面向我们这边的时候，我有清晰看到他的眼睛，清澈如水
在娱乐圈十年，你是怎幺做到坚持自我的呢？
力宏又没有看见我呢？嗬嗬，鉴于我举了很大的海报，周围还襄了一圈荧光棒，貌似还有过眼神交流。我就自以为是的认为力宏看见我了。让我自我陶醉下吧
力宏拿起插在口袋上的玫瑰抛下去，又是一阵骚动
不知道那位幸运儿拿到了那朵花
力宏再次回到舞台上，深情的唱起FOREVER LOVE
我只记得当时舞台的灯光很温暖，你的声音更加温暖
永远究竟有多远？我不知道
但是我相信我会一直支持你走下去
即使很多年以后你不在唱歌
我依然记得今晚
我依然记得在我的年轻岁月有你的歌声陪我成长
就像变戏法一样，力宏手里已经握着他最心爱的小提琴
然后用小提琴跟我们说话
可惜我们反应太慢，力宏很不好意思说，我爱你们！
接着又是一句，这次我有听出来，我说盖世你说英雄
力宏冲着小提琴调皮说，你音不准！哄堂大笑
原来乐器真的可以说话哦
拿起了小提琴，怎幺可以少了我们力宏的那首曲目，JULIA
全场都沉浸在轻松的氛围中
从小多年的练习果然不是盖的
小提琴的SOLO部分流畅愉悦，我们只能欢呼表达赞美之情
笔记 十
舞台中央缓缓走来一个古装人物——张军扮演的柳梦梅上场了
记得以前见过一次张军，本人很时尚，很年轻
其实和力宏一样，希望可以把传统艺术发扬光大
只不过他坚守传统，力宏做的是结合
第一次现场听昆剧，果然是百转千回，婉转悠扬
环顾四周的年轻人，如果不是因为力宏的工作，有几个人知道牡丹亭？有几个人知道不在梅边在柳边？
锣鼓响起，随着焰火的喷起，舞台上依次出现嬉哈DANCER和京剧的武行
一起切磋较量，一争高下
可是力宏怎幺总是不出现呢？
等的心急的时候，力宏出现在舞台上方，一身红色，加上红色的嬉哈帽，非常可爱
我们跟着力宏一起唱在梅边。到了最后的rap力宏故意停了下来，跟在后面的我们措手不及
好象很得意的样子，力宏开始表演快速的rap部分
刚开始还可以跟得上，到最后我只能看着力宏的神奇表演了
随着鼓点最后一响，力宏准确地说出最后一个亭字，全场欢腾了
力宏说这是今天的最后一部分了。全场都是不情愿的声音
我才发觉时间过得太快，不知不觉居然尾声了。多幺想时间就此停住
力宏又不好意思拿出小抄读感谢名单，嗬嗬，这件事还真是只有某人做得出来啊
接着是花田错。唱到琥珀色的月的时候，力宏还指了指天上的月亮
可惜我们的目光都聚集在力宏的身上，那管它今夜月圆几何。
力宏坐下来，开始表演他的二胡。
或许是二泉映月听多了，总认为而忽视很伤感的乐器
在这个美好的夜晚结束的时候，听到二胡的声音，万分不舍
于是全场大合唱在那遥远的地方。
在大陆，这首歌的原版大家早已耳熟能详。所以，力宏说你们都会唱哦
可是力宏的改编赋予了这首歌新的意义
当唱到东方吹来一阵风，有你的梦的时候
离别的感觉越来越深刻
为什幺是如此的短暂
力宏说这是最后一首歌，心中的日月
开始介绍今天到场的家人
原来家人在歌迷的人气也很高哦
特别是两个可爱的小baby
那幺喜爱小孩子的泥，什幺时候会有自己的BABY呢？
在大家的万般不情愿中，力宏说，我也希望可以天天和你们在一起
最后慢慢走下舞台
笔记 十一
安可
其实心里知道力宏还是会出来安可的，可是似乎很担心力宏会不出来一样
大家很卖力的呼唤，力宏，力宏
嗓子在这个时候已经明显不行了，可是抱着豁出去的想法，还是大声地呼唤
终于在万千呼唤中，音乐开始响起。
一群舞者来到台上，领头的举起一面红旗，赫然印着龙音符的标志
这可是力宏的标志阿
熟悉的音乐，熟悉的声音，熟悉的身影
力宏已经在舞台上演唱不可能错过你
接下来的互动非常精彩
力宏说，嘘，我们来看看八万人可以多小声唱歌？
台下开始配合
力宏，太~~~~~~~~~太大声了，要每个人都很小声唱，不可以滥竽充数哦
又是一阵尖叫，成语哦
于是台上的力宏声音越来越小，逐渐趴在地板上。又是期待的尖叫声
几秒钟后，随着歌声慢慢变大声，力宏慢慢站起来。招呼大家HIGHER HIGHER
会场的气氛迅速膨胀
大家跟着力宏HIGHER AND HIGHER
最后力宏介绍乐队
他说，还有一首歌，你们就是我的唯一
全场轰动
力宏阿，你何尝不是唯一呢？
你是唯一的王力宏，独一无二的王力宏
只有你，让今晚变得如此美妙，如此深刻
只有你，让我们如此开心，如此感动
大家一遍又一遍跟着力宏唱，你就是我的唯一
太多的话语还没有诉说
太多的感情还没有宣发
你就要离开我们的视线了
让我们如何舍得
在我们的依依不舍歌声，力宏开始感谢歌迷，说了一句谢谢你，慢慢的消失在我们的眼前
笔记 十二
我们还希望可以呼唤出力宏，可惜已经有观众开始退场了
我们傻傻的坐在位子上，谁也不愿意动，都在怀念刚才的美好时刻
2006年8月12号
我第一次见到力宏
第一次体会见到偶像的兴奋与激动
第一次领略散场离别的依依不舍
第一次在歌声中落泪
第一次为你欢呼呐喊
太多太多的第一次…………
我一定会记住这一天
对于我，这就是永远的第一天

08/12/2006 「蓋世英雄」-王力宏演唱會台前幕後
作者:張軍
來源:8/14昆曲張軍-新浪BLOG
回到家，還是有些激動和興奮的，總算又了卻了一樁事。“蓋世英雄”演唱會非常成功，力宏賣力的演唱讓幾萬人high了整晚，而我的出場也得到了觀眾的歡呼和掌聲，甚為感動。
前晚被中止的彩排，昨天下午繼續進行。力宏很早就來到了現場，是個非常敬業和力求完美的藝人。我穿著戲服走了兩遍，升降臺有些不穩，蠻嚇人的。唱完身後的樂隊和伴唱演員們都歡呼鼓掌起來，讓我頗為不好意思。天氣格外炎熱，一唱一動就是滿頭大汗，不過，也習慣了。
晚上仍舊很悶熱，開場前和工作人員去八萬人隔壁的鴻瑞興吃飯，體育場周圍已經水泄不通了，力宏的號召力可見一斑。一坐下，飯店的經理就熱情地迎了上來，不但大呼我的名字，還對昆曲如數家珍，難得遇知音了。酒足飯飽之後，回到後臺，準備開始化妝。同一房間的柯有綸在一旁悠閒的玩著PSP，可憐我化妝勒頭穿衣服要足足兩小時啊，沒那麼多閒情咯。
