Coverage: Jason Chen and Clara C LIVE in Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, 31^st July 2013 – Youtube sensations Jason Chen and Clara C have performed for us, Malaysians last weekend for their LIVE concert, “Jason Chen and Clara C LIVE in Kuala Lumpur”. The concert was held in Bentley Music Auditorium, Mutiara Damansara on 28^th July 2013, 9.00pm.  

Apart from Jason Chen and Clara C, the concert has included performance by other talented singers from Malaysia too.  The event was hosted by a funny emcee Johann Razali who can speak not just Malay, but also Cantonese and Mandarin. He has used his humor and Cantonese words “Ngam Jor” to keep the audience entertained during the gap between performers.

The first opening act was by a Malaysian singer Charis Ow who has performed songs such as Thrift shop, Boyfriend and etc. Her voice was not bad and she’s quite sweet. Shortly after Charis’s performance, Revellers came on stage as the second opening act for the show. Just in case you do not know, Revellers was the group who has performed in Simple Plan’s concert last time. He has performed a few of my favourite hits such as Mirrors and Radioactive. However, the lead singer’s voice was not at his prime because he was not feeling well that day. But his effort to try his best is something respectable. J

After the two shortening acts, Johann came on stage again and cracked a few jokes which have made the audience laugh. The audience kept on insisting him to sing a song. But of course he didn’t sing. He was about to welcome Clara C to come on stage. But I think there was a switch in performance sequence. So, Jason Chen came on stage instead! All of the fans were screaming his name as he came on stage. He came on stage wearing his “Music Never Sleeps” black T-shirt!

Jason Chen has performed some covers such as Wang LeeHom’s song and Bruno Mars’s “When I was your Man”. He has also performed a few of his originals such as “Thank You”.  Besides singing, he has also thrown some free T-shirts for the fans. The T-shirt has a Chinese Music Never Sleep words “音乐不夜” written on it. The audience was excited and everyone was trying hard to grab the T-shirts.  In addition, Jason has also taken the chance to take a photo of him on stage and tweeted it!

One notable mention is, all the band members that day were amazing and they were playing the background music for both Jason and Clara. They seem to be really enjoying music! That day was the birthday for his drummer, Jason has also sang a Birthday song for the drummer.

After Jason Chen’s performance, there was another guest singer who came on stage to perform. She was Mandy Star, a nine years old kid who can sing rock songs quite well. After her performance, there was a giveaway session for the lucky tweeters who have tweeted about the event.

It’s finally Clara C’s turn to perform. She was a really cheerful and adorable singer. The crowd was shouting for her too as she appeared on stage with her painted guitar. The guitar decoration was done by her ownself. There was some issue with the microphone and the guitar sound during her turn to perform but she was able to keep the fans entertained by singing melodies with lyrics related to “technical error”. The fans were impressed by her spontaneity. She has also requested the hall to turn the light on because she would really want to look at how her Malaysian fans look like. Some of the songs sang by her that day include Heartstrings, Fish and Offbeat. The fans seem to know Clara C really well!

There was a technical error during the performance and Clara was a bit emotional. However, she was still cool enough to continue singing, in ACOUSTIC. It was very soft in volume at first. But fortunately one of the crew came and raised the microphone in order to let it reach Clara for a better voice projection. It was a funny scene but we were able to see that the crew was trying his best to keep the show going smoothly.

As Clara left the stage, everyone was shouting for an ENCORE. But, it was a bit disappointing because there was no encore during the show. I guess many people were expecting for a duet between Jason and Clara too. At least, I was expecting for that.

Overall, I can still see that the fans left the hall with a smile on their faces. They seem like they have really enjoyed the show. Although there was no encore, the fans actually get to meet and greet with the stars that night post-show. They even have the chance to get autographs and photos with Jason Chen and Clara C. I am sure those moments would definitely become priceless memories for the fans.

Well, thanks EXECS EVENTS for bringing these two prominent youtubers to Malaysia! I am sure most of the fans really appreciated it very much!
