I went to watch Sodagreen's concert with juniors Xinhui and Yinghong at the Max Pavilion on Saturday! At $150 each, the tickets we had were the most expensive for the night. Its the first time I had ever spent so much on a concert, but nonetheless, it was worthed every cent. I know most music lovers would have chosen to spend their money on tickets to Sing Fest instead, but I'm glad I didn't go squeeze for a place there. Watching Sodagreen was a treat. It was as good as their first ever concert here, which was last year I believe. I went for it as well and I remember being blown away by them then, because of how amazing they sound 'live' and also how friendly and sincere they were! This time round, they were back with a bigger line up, an additional year of experience, and it really showed that in their music and their stage presence. But if you strip away all the fancy pancy stage effects, what matters is still their solid singing and their down-to-earth friendliness.
What I like about them is their unique sound, which is always slightly quirky and not too conventional. It helps that their lead singer Qingfeng has such a high and distinct voice. I love the way that they handle all genres of music, how they can emote with slow, heart wrenching emotional songs and how they can send the crowd wild with their high octane fast numbers. It gives their music a very interesting touch, making them feel bubbly, with a background element of class to them.
Another thing about them is their sincerity. I love the way they do encores. They don't just perform a piece or two of pre-decided, pre-rehearsed songs, they open the floor to the audience for requests and try to their utmost best to give the audience as much as they. And they try to elongate the session by having utterly hilarious conversations with the audience and also bantering among themselves. Very funny.
I enjoyed myself alot at the concert. It was a good breather from the harsh reality of clinical life and a good chance to go to somewhere where absolutely no one from medicine would go, and just let loose. A night of solid music, hilarious entertainment, a night to forget the troubles and worries haunting me, to just immerse myself in the wonderful world of music.
A night I would never forget. Til the next time they perform here! Sodagreen pops!
