Winter Wonderland with Teresa Carpio

This Christmas eve was spend with some friends up at Genting as Salsajay had a show to perform after the Teresa Carpio performance.

Teresa Carpio, a famous Hong Kong singer and actress was in Genting on Christmas Eve to perform a one night only "Winter Wonderland with Teresa Carpio" and the Genting International Convention Center was packed with her fans of all ages.

From the old to the very young, throughout the night, you can see all of them moving to her songs and some singing along too. As for me, I’ve seen her loads of time on TV and this is the first time I watch her perform LIVE. Was she good? YES.

Apart from herself, she also had her children and a music student of hers up on stage to perform 2 songs too which was a good touch. Doesn’t matter the fact that they still couldn’t carry a tune. It’s having the guts to get on stage to sing LIVE and not do Ad-lib that matters most.

Yes, that’s the sad fact that more and more upcoming performers and even some of the more experienced performers prefer to do ad-libbing than singing live. Or rather, some of them can’t sing LIVE.

For me, this is a nice change and a good show. She wasn’t a diva throughout the night as some fans couldn’t wait and went up stage to ask her permission to pose for photographs with her and she play along even getting the fans dance on the stage while she belt out her final number.
