The Original Karen Mok Show @ Taipei (3DVD + CD) Karen Mok The bad news is that Singapore was not a pit stop on Hong Kong singer-actress Karen Mok’s last concert tour. The good news is that fans can now catch her being crazy, sexy and cool up close on DVD. The recording was made at her gig in Taipei Arena last August and we get to see an unusually emotional Mok on stage as it was her final live performance before her wedding last October. But first, the crazy. That would have to be the headpiece she wore which looked like giant feelers. The sexy was par for the course for the singer who had posed nude for the cover of her 1996 Cantonese album, Karen Mok In Totality. For the gig, she shimmied about in hot pants and flesh-toned stockings and even lounged about on a bed on stage. Cool were the songs themselves, particularly those off her covers album, Aftertaste (2009), such as her distinctively husky reinvigoration of classics such as Zhou Xuan’s Blooming Flowers And The Full Moon. Disappointingly, the Xinjiang folk song Playing Hand Drum Singing Song from that album was not part of the show. The set list here also includes her signature songs such as Cloudy Day, Love and He Doesn’t Love Me, an early hit from her first Mandarin album To Be (1997). The final track is the Wakin Chau-penned I’m Going To Marry You Tomorrow, a fitting send-off for Mok as she walked down the aisle. Hopefully, marriage won’t mean the end of the crazy, sexy, cool Mok her fans know and love. (ST)
