Nicholas wows fans in concert

KUALA LUMPUR: Nicholas Teo wowed a 9,000-strong audience in his debut concert on home soil on Saturday night.

He started off with a succession of fast dance numbers beginning with the concert theme song, which marked his first try at dance music.

Local songwriter Chen Ying Jian specially composed the retro pop electronic dance number Xin Ge Shi Chang (Try Singing a New Song) for the concert.

Teo, 26, who is said to have lost 5kg while preparing for the concert – held at the indoor arena of Stadium Putra, National Sports Complex in Bukit Jalil – even danced while singing the fast numbers, which was a new experience for him.

His fans, friends and family came from Britain, South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore to watch the concert.

Apart from rendering his usual crowd-pleasing Mandarin numbers which had fans singing along, Teo also won them over with Korean, Japanese, Cantonese, English and Malay numbers.

His guest artiste was popular fellow Taiwan-based Malaysian singer Fish Leong, also known as the Queen of Love Ballads.

Together, they delivered close to 30 songs in the over two-hour concert.

“Nicholas From Now On Live in Malaysia” was organised by Warner Music Malaysia, Astro and MyFM, co-ordinated by Star Planet and co-sponsored by LG Mobile, Besta, and Cool Rhino.
