Her costumes glittered but it was A*mei herself who shone the brightest at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday night.
This was the encore performance of the Taiwanese singer's Star tour, which came to Singapore in November last year, and it could just as well have been titled High High High.
The live wire delivered her dance hits with crackling energy and belted out her ballads with aplomb, moving from one to the other with effortless ease. She also rapped, covered Alicia Keys' If I Ain't Got You and surprised the audience with a new Japanese song.
She commanded the four-sided stage and had the capacity crowd of 10,000 enthralled throughout the three-hour show.
In turn, she was visibly moved by the enthusiastic fans who screamed, danced and sang along with gusto.
'I think the rest of the shows should all be held in Singapore,' said an appreciative A*mei. She praised the fans several times but there was no mistaking who the star of the show was.
