還我 - S.H.E. (full version)
Taiwanese diva A-Mei held her AMeiZing Live World Tour at Kaohsiung, Taiwan last night, accomplishing the feat of being the first Chinese singer to throw a concert at the Kaohsiung World Games Main Stadium.
Despite an NT$83.9 million (S$3.52 million) set-up, which consists of a four-storey tall rainbow hot balloon, a hundred-metre mobile stage, two additional sets of costumes apart from those from her previous shows, more than 50 songs performed and 45,000 fans in the arena, the media focused primarily on her weight issues.
‘Today’s performance is different from usual,” the 40-year-old lamented. “Many cameras and pens are pointing at me. No matter how well I sang and performed, the focus will still be on my figure.’
Although the songstress shared that she has been cycling religiously to shed some pounds, she poked fun at herself, saying, ‘I’m sorry if you want me to be stick-thin. A-Mei can only be a singer and not a model.’
In related news, nearly 1000 people reportedly asked for refunds of their tickets due to the inferior sound system at the concert. The organizer clarified regarding this, ‘We have yet to receive any feedback of such at the moment.’
![Vic Zhou hints at F4 reunion
Taiwanese boy band F4, consisting of members Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu and Vic Zhou, rose to fame after filming Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden in 2001. They became a popular figure in Asia and have released three albums, which include popular tracks “Meteor Rain” and the Mandarin cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love”.
In 2008, the boys became preoccupied with their solo careers in acting and music, thus reducing group work assignments.
While in China to promote his new drama, Home, Vic commented that the story revolves intensively around “bromance”.
Touched by his own character in Home, Vic said, “It makes me reminisce on the days with the F4 members.”
Vic also added that they would contact and update each other often, while hinting that F4 would “reunite at the right time”.
When asked if the 31-year-old is still willing to take on idol dramas, he answered, “I won’t deliberately avoid [acting in idol dramas]. Acting is a lifelong journey.”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdphstFajS1qhgsppo1_250.jpg)
