Show Mi!

Genting Highlands had a temperature lift when the established CantoPop Diva, Sammi Cheng reinged Arena of Stars on the 25th and 26th of June. I was actually there to catch the 2nd (or last) show and no doubt, it was worth the money and time put in. Overall, I give Sammi an A+ for her effort, energy and heart and an A for the show.

The opening of the show was really awesome. She did the same song thrice in different remixes and vibes. The classic moment during this segment was her throwing off her wig. Consequently, the crowd roared loudly and everyone seemed warmed up by then.

Dance! Dance! Dance! Now everyone, move along!

It wasn't long before she came out in this rather technically weird in a good way style that blew everyone off with a few fast tracks. I was banging my head so hard until I was nearly worn out in just a short time.

After that, the pace slowed down once again when Sammi talked a little bit about her hiatus from the industry, her life and the media. At the mean time, she blended in some of the songs from other artists as well. Soon, the stage was joined by another rising star. He dueted with Sammi before belting out two of his famous songs which was very ear-sweetening.

Immediately thereafter, temperature of the whole stadium rose when the crazy-fantastic medley began with Smami dressed in a sharp white-with-red-bra-exposed outfit. Most of the audience actually stood up, including the aunties and uncles, and danced along with the heavy bass-ed music. Sammi was soon exhausted, but we really enjoyed the show.

During the encore session, she came out in a more ordinary, casual style with a really cute bag. Anyway, this outfit was once worn by Penny Tai, and according to the source that reported it, they claimed that Sammi wore it better than Penny. Ouch (for PT)!

Before wrapping up the show, Sammi invited 4 fortunate fans up on the stage to share a song with her. Oh, before that, she had a hand-shaking session too (which is probably the first time she's doing so here in Malaysia!). Anyhow, in a mere 2 hours, the show that I was anticipating ended. Hopefully Sammi will be back in 2 years or so for another concert. :)
