The night she sang all her songs, except for fairy tale woman.

Currently listening to: Free- Corrinne May

I'm deadbeat.

So I watched Corrinne May sing tonight at the Esplanade Concert Hall. Was with Audrey and we were seated at row O, 10 and 11.

Big stage, great acoustics. The stage was set up in a simple manner as usual. She sat at a grand piano (which covered most of her body) and five people accompanied her throughout (except the end, where she did an encore herself).

There were minor technical glitches. The mike failed at the end of a song and she was testing it after the staff helped fix it. Nice humming and piano playing, haha. It was like chill-out, lounge music. Then during "The Birthday Song", she forgot the part "every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be" but the crowd was encouraging. Was glad to see so many people who love her music as well.

Wonder why she didn't sing "Every beat of my heart" and "Walk away" until she came back to do the encore. I remember she also didn't sing "Walk away" in the 2003 concert.

Lovely voice as usual. I like watching her sing live. It touches me a lot. Even though I was really tired throughout the concert, I kept awake. Soon it was the last song and I was a little sad yet happy. Sad because I have to wait again for her to come back to SG to perform. Happy because I could finally go to the toilet to zip up my pants. I forgot to zip. Oh my. Audrey gave me a bright idea to try to discreetly zip up when I was in the concert hall but I decided not to. Even though everyone was engrossed in listening to her sing, I believed that the person sitting next to me would be able to see.

Fortunately I didn't try in the theatre. Because when we got out, Audrey's friend from church stopped her to chit-chat and we realised that we were actually sitting in the same row. This could only mean that the girl sitting next to me came with Audrey's friend. Hahaha. Luckily. =)

Wanted to have ice-cream after the concert but we decided against it. Reached home early and now I'm here listening to her on my computer. I wish I brought my cds for the autograph session so I can see her face to face but well, I forgot. Sigh.

I'm inspired that she's doing something she loves for a living. I hope I can too, someday.

*Small world. I saw my JC friend in the toilet and then I spotted former DJ Yang Junwei at the concert (with some other DJ I couldn't recognise).
