MTV WORLD STAGE 2010 with Bunkface, Wonder Girls, Tokio Hotel & Katy Perry
Aug 2nd
Edited 4.22PM 2 August 2010
Alda have pointed out the reasons on why there were delays in between the acts below in the comments thus having me striking off part of the contents in this blog post. Thumbs up to the bunch behind MTV World Stage 2010! =)
*Alda is a local musician who performed in a number of local concerts before.
Went to the 2010 MTV WORLD STAGE at Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach last Saturday to join an amount of 15,000 people rocking along with performers such as Bunkface, Wonder Girls, Tokio Hotel and Katy Perry.
It was quite an experience being under the rain on and off with like 1 hour delay in between each acts that had the concert ending around 1AM. Compared to last year, there were less acts this time and more time delayed in between different performers, the rain did visited MTV World Stage last year, but it didn’t happened during the whole concert where this time, it did.
Anyways, here’s what i think about the performances by different acts.
Bunkface
Having being in the limelight and got to fame in such a short span of time, i guess these local boys have been enjoying themselves with the attention given. With them starting the concert, i must say that Bunkface showed the world what Malaysia have and it definitely a good chance for them to shine internationally. Of course, if compared to the later acts, they still have a long way to go. =X
Wonder Girls
It is not easy to get a song out and launched successfully pushing the singers way up to the top of the world and the song Nobody works its magic out back in 2007 and up till now it’s still a hit worldwide. They first appeared in a cage, yes each of them in one cage and when the backdrop was unveiled, everyone screamed!
I guessed i’ve tasted the magic of Wonder Girls where they’ve completed an awesome performance during MTV World Stage with 3 different outfits presenting their talents in both vocals and dance moves.
Was actually quite excited when they performed “Nobody” with their full golden outfit up on stage and i guessed a lot of guys were screaming their hearts out that time. NO i didn’t do so, not because i don’t want to, but because i was recording a video of them. LOL!
Tokio Hotel
Missed the last time watching them performing when they were in Malaysia earlier this year and i am glad i didn’t miss them this time round. The German glam rock band took the stage
by storm with their awesomeness and seriously, i didn’t know they have that much fans here in Malaysia.
It was quite a scene seeing the crowd moving the the tunes and i was soon fast attracted to this band Tokio Hotel where they really rocked the crowd. Bill the singer of the band have quite a talented voice with him. The scene when Bill appeared on a Bike was definitely one of the highlight that night!
Katy Perry
Appearing up on a banana split, the sugar high Katy Perry showed us why is she a top American Superstar with her most energetic performance with quirky and funny movements/gestures. All white outfit playing a white electric guitar, i love
I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock
your peacock, cock, cock
your peacock, cock, cock
your peacock, cock, cock
Yes Katy Perry performed Peacock from her latest Album Teenage Dream and it was Wow!
Love it most when she performed Thinking of You playing the acoustic guitar. <3
Oh and i didn’t know that both her parents are Pastor. Woot. I’m happy =D

#worldstagemy 2010 = rain. wait. delays. technical problem.
by ramesstudiosI personally think that #worldstagemy is made for the TV recording n not really for the live experience n @MTV don’t really care abt chu….
by kruel74They just asked the crowd to ignore security and fill up the front. Haha Rumour is that they need a retake. #worldstagemy 3/4 empty d.

Thoughts & Complaints
Read the 3 tweets above? They are just the few out of many complaint tweets about MTV WORLD STAGE 2010.
Rain - Rain isn’t really that much of a problem because as fans, we’ll understand that the organizers can’t really control the weather.
Technical Problem/Stage Settings leads to Delay – So oh the rain caused the technical problem to happen but don’t these concert organizers or concert equipment companies have a backup plan in case of rain happening to ensure such problem doesn’t occur? It wasn’t a thunderstorm! Furthermore almost every break between the acts, the crowd were made to wait for 1 hour or more which means with 4 acts, there were approx. 3 hours wasted.
I understand that there’s a need to rearrange the stuffs on stage for each acts with probably different musical instruments, stage props and such, but i don’t think that will take this long.
Concert started around 6.30PM and ended at 1AM. Do the maths.
Encore of Wonder Girls – This is the funniest part, i don’t want to describe it in detail, just read the last tweet by NikiCheong above. That would explain it.
What do i think? – I seriously want to know how much does it cost for 3 hours of advertising to 15,000 of people. Well advertisements were repeated to a crowd of 15,000 during the delays in between acts. Sigh maybe its true that we are mistreated because this live concert isn’t made for live but for the viewing of a bigger audience on MTV Channel when it is scheduled to be broad-casted to more than 100 countries all over the world. Just a thought.
One extra thing i would like to point out is the sound system during the concert is really very very good. The sound quality were tuned and adjusted that we could clearly get the musical instruments/background music but yet still able to listen the main vocals from the performing acts.
MTV World Stage 2010 provides one of the best live concert sound system experience so far for me and not like i frequent concerts LOL but well in the past, some of the concerts which i’ve attended, there’ll surely be some issue with the sounds be it vocals covered by bass and background music or the backup singers voice can’t be heard which was suppose to sync along with the main singer/performer. Looking that there’s constant rain through out the concert, being able to get the best of of the vocals performance in a concert impressed me. This is one of the positives i experience during MTV World Stage. =)
Well… i’m not the organizers so i won’t know what really happened back stage that time, be it a technical problem or some other reason, I hope that the outcome of the recording would be awesome as this MTV World Stage happens in Malaysia. Would love to let the whole world know that Malaysian fans are an awesome bunch and we can all go crazy for good music.
At the end of the day we did get to enjoy good music and awesome showmanship from all the acts that performed in this MTV World Stage 2010 event. That sums up this post for MTV WORLD STAGE 2010 event. Hope that there’ll be a better one next year!

Yes, Malaysia will be in the list of concert venues in the Jay Chou’s The Era World Tour Concert [周杰伦超时代世界巡回演唱会].
It’s still a long way to go but we’re releasing the news now because we’re THAT excited! Bearing in mind that the Singapore leg of the concert for all three consecutive shows sold out within 2 hours, would you get tickets this far ahead of the concert?
Source : Jay Chou, Live in KL, 5th March 2011
The news was published on MSN Malaysia a few days earlier and yes i know i’m lagging but finally it’s confirmed!
Well of course it won’t be as awesome as the one in Taiwan with some million dollar 3D effects going on but i guess it will be a great concert to attend. The tickets of Taipei concert were snapped up in 2 minutes where else the ones for the concert in Singapore were all sold out in 2 hours so now i wonder how fast will the tickets go off when the organizers started selling it out here in Malaysia.
Jay Chou The Era World Tour Concert 周杰伦大马超时代世界巡回演唱会

Time: 8pm
Venue: Bukit Jalil Putra Indoor Stadium

ShareSpecial Appearance of Jolin Tsai 蔡依林 on stage the highlight of Jay Chou 周杰伦 2010 The Era World Tour Concert at Taipei Taiwan
Jun 15th
Do you know, the kick start of the World Cup 2010 also marks the very first concert of Jay Chou’s The Era World Tour 2010 周杰伦2010台湾台北超时代世界巡回演唱会 at Taipei Taiwan?
The World Tour which cost 1 Billion TWD 新台幣 in total was being reported that the whole tour will bring in 8.7 billion TWD 新台幣 in total. With the fast selling of tickets within hours/days in other countries, this world tour is already a guaranteed success.
The first concert of the world tour started with the display of a huge 3D image of Jay Chou 周杰伦 himself appearing up in the air in full white playing a white guitar decorated with wings, the 360 Degrees 3D effect above the stage used 2000 LEDs to create the special effect. Like hologram we see in Startrek/futuristic movies.
Quoted from Online News on the First Concert at 11 June 2010
演唱会也同样让不少艺人，包括资深音乐人李亚明、方文山、艺人王思平、康康、蔡敏佑、刘耕宏与王婉霏夫妇、夏如芝、葛明辉、江语晨、许孟哲、王少 伟、J.R、A.K、王仁甫与季芹夫妇、郭书瑶、比莉与周汤豪母子档、陈奕迅等艺人前来观赏演唱会。
Various artists attended the concert over the weekend showing their support in Jay Chou 周杰伦. Hong Kong singer/artist Eason 陈奕迅 who was there was randomly call up on stage for a spontaneous collaboration which got the crowd cheering.
Lara of 南拳妈妈 as well as Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 were some of the official performing guest artist/singer of the concert performing with Jay Chou 周杰伦.
Jay Chou 周杰伦, the man of the concert first appeared in the form of 3D special effect image and various costumes were used through out the concert. From Knight to Dragon Warrior, Prince to Hip Hop like costumes and many more.
He’s a man who could always performed and show the world what he’s capable of, especially when he’s performing live, in front of his fans, if you’ve watched his performance in his past concerts(Attending it or Watching it on Videos) you’ll know what i mean.
The various transformation, the exaggerating opening with special effects 3D technology, the awesome lighting with lasers and spotlights, the staging and the dance moves, all of those were part what made his concert looked more perfect.
but the highlight of his 3 nights concert in Taipei, Taiwan 台湾台北 was far more bigger than any of the things mentioned above!
Jolin Tsai 蔡依林 who was linked romantically with Jay Chou 周杰伦 all these years being reported numerous times by the Media appeared to be the ultimate special guest of the concert. The ONE and only shocking point of the concert which got the fans going ecstatic was the moment she appeared. Watch the video below!
周杰倫 – 超時代演唱會 雙J同台 (Jolin & Jay ) HQ 完整清晰版
Totally have no idea that are they together as couple, but one thing i know and i’m sure of is Jay Chou 周杰伦 sure knows how to reward his loyal fans and surprise them with the most unexpected things.
It’s already 10 years down the road since he first launched his first album in Taiwan and he’s gone down a long road reaching the status on where he is now. Undeniable, he’s one talented man, a superman who do not need to fly.*thumbs up*
How i wish i could be there in the concert at Taipei Taiwan.
*please do correct me if any of the information above is incorrect.

2010 MAYDAY 五月天變形DNA無限放大版世界巡迴大馬演唱會
Jun 6th
Fans of MAYDAY 五月天 waving their Blue LED sticks the whole night!
It was a freaking awesome concert performance by MAYDAY 五月天 from Taiwan 台湾 just yesterday night at Bukit Jalil Putra Indoor Stadium. With a great concept behind the tour, the H-Shape staging and lighting effects further completed the 3 hours long singing, shouting, jumping and partying between the fans and MAYDAY 五月天.
Was there like 2 hours before the concert and there were a few hundreds of MAYDAY 五月天 fans lining up to get into the venue already. Heard there’s fans all the way from Taiwan who’ve waited at the entrance since 10AM. Hardcore!
Thanks to Shu Jian for the tickets, we bumped into Stella and Isabell before entering the stadium. =)
After the opening act by some local artists, Della Ding 丁噹 came out as guest Artist performing 我是一只小小鸟 and the theme song 我爱他 from the drama 下一站，幸福. Her powerful vocals definitely had me adoring her when she sang the chorus part of the song. I knew she was good in singing when i saw her on Taiwan entertainment programs as well as when i listened to her album, but experiencing live performance is always a different case.
When the 4 level high backdrop came down revealing the stage and MAYDAY 五月天 performing, the fans screamed louder than ever waving their Blue LED sticks and some even started jumping straight away.
The atmosphere was wonderful with 10 out of 10 adoring fans singing along every single song that was performed up on stage.
The members of MAYDAY 五月天, Ashin 阿信 (Lead Singer), Monster 怪獸 and Stone 石頭 (Guitarist), Masa 瑪莎 (Bassist), Guan You 冠佑 (Drummer) displayed their music talent rocking the stadium for 3 whole hours.
The level of atmosphere was brought to a whole new level with the fans all high and hyped up when the 3 level tall Transformer-like robot being revealed on the stage while MAYDAY 五月天 performed D.N.A. Pretty impressive stage set up by the organizing parties.
The concert showed a few video clips featuring a fight between Evil and Good. The videos included Transformer-like robots and the graphics was the same as Transformers movie itself. We were like in a concert+cinema altogether watching a concert in a movie/movie in a concert happening in front of us and it was the first time i’ve attended such a concert. Thumbs up!
With a positive message shared by MAYDAY 五月天 in this World Tour, i must admit that i was kinda moved and well, am happy that i could sing along through like 70% of the songs being performed. LOL
Ashin 阿信 of MAYDAY 五月天 is a great singer and i enjoyed the most when he sang 擁抱 with Della Ding 丁噹. The combination of 2 wonderful voice together, awesome!
Undeniable, MAYDAY 五月天 is one of the very few rare bands/group that made it this long in the Chinese Entertainment industry still surviving and through the 11 years flashback video being displayed on screen above the stage, i could somehow understand how they succeeded in capturing the hearts of millions of fans all over the fans in the past decade.
Apart from the talent they had, it was the positivity they had as well as well as the energy from this group that consist of 5 members. Am grateful for the tickets as i managed to witness such a great performance by one of the best current band/group from Taiwan 台湾.
Read from the news and found out about this where it happened after the concert – a guy proposed to his girlfriend. and of course, she agreed. Well done!! Source here
曲目 Songlist of the night ：春天呐喊、轧车、爱情万岁、HoSee、你不是真正的快乐、生存以上生活以下、疯狂世界+候鸟、时光机、我心中尚未崩坏的地方、人生海海、D.N.A、雌雄同体、离开地球表面、墓仔埔也敢去+制造浪漫、笑忘歌+相信、拥抱、孙悟空+Solo、约翰蓝侬+我、最重要的小事、天使、生命有一种绝对、倔强

Concert Tickets on Taiwan Taipei Station of Jay Chou The Era World Tour 2010 Snapped up in 2 Minutes! – 周杰伦台北演唱会门票2分钟卖光!
Jun 1st
No Joke! Jay Chou The Era World Tour 2010 – 周杰伦2010超时代世界巡回演唱会 which consist of 40 venues, the concert tickets for the first 3 concerts of the tour at the first venue which is in Taipei, Taiwan were snapped up in 2 minutes time.
According to statistics, Jay Chou have been in the entertainment industry for 10 years already with 9 albums with a breaking amount of 27 Million in album sales.
All of us know how talented he’s in his music but never did i imagine this could happen.Just right after the concert organizers announced the start of the sales for the tickets for the Taipei stop in the tour, the tickets were all sold out in just merely 2 minutes. Can you like imagine that?
I guessed those hardcore fans of Jay Chou won’t regret on this then.
Because Jay Chou will always surprise his fans as how he did in his past concerts. In this upcoming concert that will happen in 10 days times, 2000 LED will be used for special effects and lightings and there’ll be this “360 Degrees 3 Dimension image” which comes with the Mapping special effect technology.
If i’m not mistaken, that’ll be the first time this technology will be used in a concert itself allowing spectators to view the 3D special effects from all angles. This technology alone costs 新台幣 40 Million TWD and the whole concert costs up to 新台幣 1 Billion TWD!!!
That’s just the Taipei, Taiwan stop out of 40 concerts in total in the tour.
Looking at the statistics alone made me go WOW already. I haven even talk about the various costumes that will be used as well as which song will be performed and how will it performed.
It’s insane!
By the way, Jay Chou 周杰伦 was named one of the top 100 Most Creative People in Business recently by American Magazine Fast Company making him the only Chinese Singer to be in the list. Undeniable! Source
ShareKelly Clarkson All I Ever Wanted Tour Concert Live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2010
Apr 27th
I always think that a singer who is capable of performing live singing a whole list of songs in one night itself facing thousands of fans is a REAL singer.
I mean like there are singers out there who sound “nice” on radio or their album but when they perform live, they just can’t seem to impress if you know what i mean.
Upon leaving the stadium that night, i do think that Kelly Clarkson is one of those singers that have what it takes and she really deserve all the credits with the achievements she accomplished all these years, one dedicated singer with real talent.
So yea, the first American Idol champion, Kelly Clarkson was in Kuala Lumpur last Sunday performing in front of 16,000 adoring fans at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium and i’m gonna repeat what i said in my previous post again that IT WAS A BLAST!!!
Reached around 6PM++ on that day along with Kel Li and Nigel and we thought that we were early, but there were already pretty much people lining up at the queue to get into the stadium. Hardcore fans!
There were booths there selling Kelly Clarkson’s merchandise including CDs, DVDs, shirts and etc.
Entering the stadium getting to our seats waiting for the concert to start is always a sweaty annoying period…
but when Jaclyn Victor, our very own 1st Malaysian Idol came out and performed in the opening act of the concert, i had those negative moments behind my back instantly. In fact, i thought that she made us Malaysians proud. Her powerful vocals gained cheers from the crowds where she sang a medley of local well known songs.
Suki (Winner of One In A Million 2006) came out later on with a RM15k gown displaying her violin skills followed by her vocal performance.
It was when Kelly Clarkson came on stage with her first song “All I Ever Wanted” that the crowd starting going crazy shouting out loud from their hearts with many of them started singing along with the 1st American Idol Champion.
For a singer to perform live with most of the fans singing along is one of the most beautiful thing that could happen and when Kelly Clarkson pointed the mic towards the crowd during the 6th song “Breakaway“, everyone sang along. Loud and Clear.
but what i felt more heart warming was the birthday song dedicated to Kelly Clarkson later on by a group of people from the upper tier. Too bad the song wasn’t complete and the band weren’t aware of it where they started playing their instruments in the middle of the birthday song.
However, Kelly heard it and quickly thanked the crowd and went performing the next song immediately. Talking about professionalism that is! It was Kelly’s birthday one day before the concert. =)
Kelly performed 22 songs in total and showed the Malaysian crowd an impressive performance with her dominant and powerful vocals but of course, part of the credit have goes to her band members as well as the backup singers. I kinda love the parts when the DJ came in as an intro to a few songs though.
1. All I Ever Wanted
2. Miss Independent
3. I Do Not Hook Up
4. Impossible
5. That I Would Be Good / Use Somebody (Alanis Morissette / Kings Of Leon cover)
6. Breakaway
7. If I Can’t Have You
- Can’t Get You Out Of My Head band jam – (Kylie Minogue cover)
8. Never Again
9. Lies (The Black Keys cover)
10. Tonight I Wanna Cry (Keith Urban cover)
11. Acoustic Medley sitdown (a mix of her lesser known singles)
12. Behind These Hazel Eyes
13. Cry
14. I Want You
15. Don’t Let Me Stop You
16. Because Of You
17. Maybe
18. Walkaway
19. Since U Been Gone
20. Already Gone
- Her band’s DJ decked out some tunes -
21. Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes cover)
22. My Life Would Suck Without You
Above is the full list of songs performed by Kelly and i really enjoyed the concert very much. Listening live compared to listening to her on radio/CDs, BIG DIFFERENCE! Live performances is always the best!!
Only if the performer is someone like Kelly Clarkson of course! =D
*Thanks to Sony Music Malaysia for the pass. =)
