ARON KWOK DE SHOW REEL LIVE
IN CONCERT 09
Singapore Indoor Stadium
Last Saturday

That old chestnut from the musical Chicago - Give 'em the old razzle dazzle, razzle dazzle 'em - seemed to be Hong Kong entertainer Aaron Kwok's mantra during his three-hour-plus concert last Saturday.

While the 43-year-old had been anointed one of the four Heavenly Kings of Chinese entertainment, putting on a concert today must still present a peculiar kind of quandary for him.

While acknowledged to be an excellent dancer, he is not the best singer. He has not had the most memorable hits and his album sales in the noughties are not what they used to be in the 1990s.

The solution? Put on a heck of a show.

Even though it is hard to figure out how it adds up to 450 degrees, the much-vaunted revolving stage was indeed a spectacular spectacle.
