The artistes:
Show Luo-
Show Luo is a veteran in the Taiwan show biz. Though I do associate him with the variety show, 100% Entertainment (娛樂百分百). He’s had quite a few hits and his songs are played constantly on the local radio stations here. Even if you do not know the title of his songs, you would be familiar with them once you hear them. He is also an acomplished actor and have acted in nummerous popular dramas like Outsider II, Corner with Love and Hot Shot 2. In most of these dramas, he is normally the rebellious, ‘bad-boy’ type of characters. In other words, the kind of guys that most women love. ^^ A note of interest. He sang the ending theme song for Outsiders II- Grey Dimensions. This was originally the ending theme song for the Korean Movie, The Classic- Firefly (which I love). Which do you prefer?
Only You (獨一無二)
Hebe
Better known as part of the girl group. S.H.E., Hebe started her solo activities in 2010. Whilst part of the girl group, I did not notice her as much but since going solo, I realised she has an incredibly clear voice. In her latest album, she dedicated the song, ‘You'(妳)’ to her fellow group mate, Selina, who suffered serious injuries whilst filming in 2010. What do you think? I would request her to sing this song if possible. It’s a beautiful song.
You'(妳)
Zhang Yun Jing
Zhang Yun Jing broke into the Taiwan entertainment scene in 2008 by winning thee first season of the talent show, Super Idol (超級偶像). She gained much attention for her androgynous looks and voice. In an industry where almost everyone looks and souns almost the same, it was a refreshing change. Perhaps that is the reason why she became popular very quickly. Her main song Black Dress (黑裙子) for her first album, Unprecedented (破天荒) was a hit on the airwaves. The boyish singer who is normally in pants wore a black skirt especially for the mv. I certainly enjoyed listening to her songs and I think those at the festival would too.
Broken (壞了)
I must admit I know absolutely nothing about Japanese Visual Kei rock and of course even less about the group ViVid. But that’s the beauty about a music festival that involves music from other generes and countries. You learn more about them. So here’s an interview that was done in 2010 when they were in Paris to perform, at the opening of Japan Expo. Whilst it’s not exactly my kind of music, they are great performers and I’m sure their fans are thrilled that they are here in Singapore to perform as J Pop seems a little neglected nowadays
Precious
This would be Teen Top’s second visit to Singapore as they were just here in July for the Korean Music Wave. Of all the groups performing at the Sundown Festival, Teep Top is the yougest, both in terms of age and as an entertainer sa they only debut as a group last year. Signed under Andy of Shinhwa, their first song, Supa Luv had Eric of Shinhwa lending a helping hand by appearing in the mv. But I’m guessing they will probably sing their main song from their latest album, Roman. Haiyoh, they are all so young.
No More Perfume On You (향수뿌리지마)
So there you have it, the 5 artistest that will be appearing at 2011 Sundown Festival. And oh, if you are keen to catch them after the Sundown Festival, the resident DJ/ Event Manager of Butter Factory, Andrew Teo has already tweeted that there will be an after party there, so you might just be able to glimpse your favourite artistes there dancing away….except for Teen Top, who are underage. I told you they are young.
Ok, tickets are still available via sistic, so go get the tickets if you want to see them perform live. Food will also be sold at the festival. It sounds like fun. Now let’s hope it doesn’t rain. Hmm…
