Taiwanese diva A-mei opened her show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday night by drumming up a storm. Then she proclaimed: “Singapore, we are back!” This was the encore edition of her Ameizing World Tour which sold out two nights in Singapore in January last year.
Her powerhouse vocals were fully charged and her stamina showed no signs of flagging even at the end of the 31/2-hour-long concert.
Highlights included a segment where she came on as her alter-ego Amit and rocked out to high-energy numbers such as Black Eat Black and the thrilling Minnan throwdown of Come On If You Dare.
Later in the gig, she pulled off a 50-minute medley of her stirring ballads from Blue Sky and Remember to I Want Happiness.
A-mei was the consummate performer and she had great rapport with the capacity crowd of 10,000. During her rendition of Rainbow and Teresa Teng’s Sweet Honey Honey, “kiss cam” cameras swooped in on couples, gay and straight and old and young, who happily kissed to the delight of the audience.
Love was all around and the most enduring one of all was between A-mei and her devoted fans.
