Last night, I was at Music Monster Festival where Taiwan boy bands, Energy and Bang Bang Tang (Lollipop) were performing. It was my first up close and personal experience (within the Media area) at a live concert.
Sharing some photos and my thoughts of the concert…
Totally inexperience with shooting such concert and all the photos didn’t turn out well. Was relieved that I had switched my D40 (malfunctioning flash) with Abang’s D60 after the day’s engagement shoot. If not, I would have ended up with 200 of blurred shots instead.
Here are the photos for Energy’s performance, which was great and my friends and I, with some 25% of those present, totally enjoyed ourselves. Energy has got great body, great voice, great dance moves and great charisma. But sadly, they’ve somehow lost their touch with the latest music market (as compared to Lollipop).

Second group performing that night was latest craze Bang Bang Tang (Lollipop). Group of 6 young boys whom my friends and I felt was trying too hard to become Jpop. I know their fans are going to be sooo mad at me for saying this. But seriously, we felt that they’re better off hosting or acting in drama series. Yes, they can jump dance and sing, but during the concert, which I left after their first three songs, they were just all over the place. And their hair style… gosh!
And when they danced and went “我爱棒棒糖! 我爱棒棒糖!” (which brought their fans super high), my friends and I almost fainted! Sooo commercial lah! Ok I better stop before I start getting more hate mails/comments from their fans, which was like 85% of the crowd present at Music Monster Festival! *roll eyes* I wonder if they’ll be as popular two years down the road. That’s usually the lifespan of such bands isn’t it?
Ok! Ok! If you’re their fans, before you start throwing hate mails at me, scroll down and it might just calm you down (or bring you to even higher ecstasy…). Here are some photos of them on stage at Music Monster Festival…
Soooo cute right?? *ermmm….*
I can hear Lollipop fans screammmm!
*Gah!!*
Music Monster Festival was presented by Singtel and Sony Ericsson. Thanks to H&K for the tickets! And nope! These 3 brands didn’t pay me to blog about this nor mention them in this post. I just thought it’s basic courtesy to do it.
Sorry if this post is too cute for you. LOL!

Hi,
Thanks for posting those pictures,
it’s really nice!
And yes, you were right about Energy
as well as Lollipop.
I don’t really care for the latter as I left right after Energy perform.
:)
Hello here!
Nice post you have! (:
I totally agreed with you on the comparison of Energy & BBT.
But it’s a pity that they are not as popular as BBT.
I left right after Energy performed finish that night.
I totally have no interest in watching BBT & hearing the fans scream.
Takecare! ^^
sorry and thanks for the lollipop pics.
but you are somehow criticising them ?!
saying what so commerical or even say whether they can still be as populat two years down the road and blah blah blah.
i bet you dont enjoy others criticising Energy right?
so please, dont say anything sarcastic okay?
you don’t like ppl comparing you with someone who isn’t quite your style right?
Heyys , thanks for th pics ! ;D
But please , dun ever try to say sth bad about Lollipop if you dun know them well .
:) came across this post of yours, and just wanted to say thanks for recognizing energy’s efforts and strengths. it’s awfully heartening :)
c;mon la. if you don like bbt, then just shut up and dont invite all these hate comments for yourself. you watch their shows, see how hard they have worked, that so many people like them now, before making such comments. they dont just earn their popularity over night or without hard work. seriously. if fans really love them for who they are, they might even be popular 10 BLOODY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. They obviously can dance. & abt singing? they have talented singers also. can you sing? can you dance? are you even polular? are you a celeb to understand what they are going through? is this how you repect others?
