Eason sure can dance
Eason Chan proved he had all the right moves – with both the girls and boys
ON SATURDAY night, Eason Chan proved he not only has the right voice, but the right moves as well. It’s a pity the crowd only warmed up during his encore. Still, I guess, it’s better late than never.
Watching Eason live is the best way to appreciate the versatile 33-year-old Hong Kong artiste’s music.
His warm, polished and expressive delivery of his many Mando- and Canto-pop hits, from King of Karaoke to Same Time Next Year, never fails to win the hearts of his fans.
But it was his cheeky stage antics during his Eason’s Moving On Stage 11 concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium that endeared him to his fans.
When the audience shouted that they preferred to hear him speak in Cantonese, Eason replied with a coy smile that he would not comply and started speaking in English instead.
Even good pal and fellow Hong Kong artiste Edmond Leung was not spared when he was invited to sing a last minute duet with Eason on stage.
As soon as Leung finished the first part of the song, Eason, who was supposed to sing the second part, stopped the music. He then thanked Leung before sending his buddy off the stage with a big hug.
Known for his flamboyant stage costumes, Eason’s wardrobe featured a dark robe with blinking blue lights, a black cape with rainbow-coloured feathers, and a suit with long peacock feathers sweeping the floor.
The highlight of the night was when he engaged in a steamy dance sequence with eight scantily-clad female dancers.
Not wanting anyone to feel left out, Eason got it on with his male dancers as well. Kudos to him for attempting G-rated dance moves as well, including the Tango and Waltz.
As a sweaty Eason jumped about on stage, performing yet another Canto-pop hit during the encore, the 7,000-strong crowd finally decided to ease themselves off their seats after more than two hours.
They even sang him a birthday song. Now that’s showing some real appreciation.
