1st show - 12 OCT
Good choice of opening song, "Warrior of
the New Century". The red curtains dropped, Miriam lied
on the dancers, with a red arrow shot on her chest. She sang
2 lines of the chorus, "Like creating a new century,
there's no heaven and no earth..." The music changes to
a fast beat and Miriam plucked the arrow out from her
chest... Miriam did some simple dance moves for the song,
followed by "Woman of Integrity" and "Kissing
Everywhere".
A female voice over talking about "What is love?".
(The voice sounds like 903 DJ GC Goobi to me)
Miriam rise from center stage with a pink outfit, and sang
"Small City Big Matter" and "It happened
before".
"8 and a half"(1st time to performed live) started
a little story telling the process of love, with live-size
dolls of a rabbit and a girl with glasses, eyeballs, lips,
man's head, clock house and Pinocchio... Miriam sang her
classic hits as well as memorable side-tracks like
"That's why it's because", "A lonesome lit-up
night", "A girl's prayer" and
"Accidental Tourist".
"Life my head up" with an 80's feel, cool.
Miriam showed off her sponsored Luk Fook diamond necklace
and elegant gown, occasionally forgetting to speak in a more
feminine way... And brought us some karaoke favourites -
"If you let me continue to speak", "FA",
"Wild Child", "Cute girl".
Spanish music intro, red cloths, bull-fighter suits. I could
guess that Edmond Leung will be appearing soon. My favourite
costume for this concert - maroon gown with gloves and a
neck-tie, perfectly represented Miriam's character, a
mixture of feminism and masculism.
"Get Lost" ended with a slap from Edmond.
(pretended one of course) Followed by "Souvenir"
and "An Account out of Egypt".
A piano rise from the corner stage. Surprised everyone with
"Still Elegant". A guy rise from center stage and
people started screaming. It's Louis Koo! And they danced...
they hugged... they kissed!
Before the audience can get over with "the kiss of the
century", Miriam rise from center stage again and
presented her classic love songs "Lover" and
"Shining spirit"... Wonderful singing...
We heard some mysterious music intro, I thought it should be
the highly anticipated "Finally have to admit it"
coming up... But the music changed to "Strange"...
and it stopped. "Balegechi Balegechi..." It's
"Finally have to admit it" for real. Really cute
dance moves, pleased to see results from her training in
Japan. The audience got high with the tracks "Bothering
Me" and "Hot-blooded Youth".
Another surprise, to hear her sing "3 minutes
Passion" live for the first time in concert, which is
supposedly the "last song" for the night. And then
comes another of my favourite segment - "Sayonara Oh!
Sayonara Oh!", Miriam sang one line and imitated Leon
Lai's dance moves of "My Beloved" and "Happy
2000"! Funny...
Encore time! 3 claps and shout "Yeung Chin Wah!"
is the right thing to do.
A piano rise from the corner stage, it's Miriam's best
friend Jean Chien! Miriam sang "The wolf has come"
accompanied by Jean's beautiful piano playing. Then she
specially presented the song "Sister" to her best
friend.
Miriam felt a bit hot and took off her jacket, showing her
fit shape. She took the time to thank a whole list of organizers
and people, misread some company name as "Next
magazine" -_-" and couldn't pronounce the costume
designer's Japanese name correctly. She stressed that there
were no plasma TVs below the stage to prompt her lyrics and
felt that her performance was considered quite good for the
night. The audience definitely agrees with her.
She then looked for a couple among the audience and
presented them with a pair of Seiko watches. That's not all.
Miriam asked the audience to check the bottom of their seats
to see if they can find a small sticker of her concert logo.
There were 8 more Seiko watches for the lucky ones.
The mood was pushed to the climax as the coliseum sang along
with Miriam's classic hits
"Strange Ways", "A Pity I'm An Aquarius", "Yeung Chin Wah"
and "Teddy Girl". A fabulous night of collective
memories... It's all about Miriam and you.
After the concert, Miriam stopped her van on her way back to
chat with fans for a while. We all gave positive response to
her performance but suggested she could improve on her dance
moves. Someone asked if the kiss with Louis Koo was
impromptu. Miriam's response was hilarious - "Are you
nuts?!" Would Louis kiss her every night? "I don't
know ga..." she answered, playing secretive. It was
time for all to take a good rest, and prepare for the next
night. Miriam said goodbye, looking still energetic and
happy. Everyone should be feeling excited for this night of
success and looking forward to a better show the next day...
