Jessie left the audience mesmerized, performing 25 songs without
a hint of slow-down through the entire night of captivating performances,
fanning the heat of a huge crowd of fans.
Jessie
Chung’s Love Unity Concert raised RM 130,000 for cancer patients and orphans and yielded huge responses from fans around the world, including the US, Taiwan,
China, Australia, Korea, Indonesia, Myanmar and home-soil Malaysia, leaving
barely any space in the more than 2000-capacity arena.
Due to the massive
response, Jessie promised she would hold a second concert in December.
The
opening showed a vivid video featuring the wardrobe of Jessie
that brought the fan’s anticipation to boiling point. A gigantic star appeared
at the end of the clip and Jessie walked out from it in a
futuristic heroine battle-spacesuit. Under the deafening applause from fans, she
opened the show with Forever.
With the
accompaniment of Gig Dancers and Code Dancers, Jessie executed neat and
step-perfect moves that stunned fans. Jessie satisfied the audience’s visual appetite by changing 9 uniquely designed
costumes during the night.
The fans cheered enthusiastically from
beginning to end, screaming repeatedly “Jessie, we love you!” The fans also brought a variety of DIY-LED boards that displayed messages such as “Jessie”, “JC”, “A
Starry Sky”, “Tearless Sky” and “I Love You”.
Jessie showed her multi-linguistic talent as she sang in Chinese, Malay, English, Japanese and Cantonese. She was accompanied
by a 7-person live band and 4 backup vocalists Lydia Zhou, Bo Hua Zhou,
Haslan and Daniel.
All 25 songs were rearranged by renowned Malaysian music
producer and director Helen Yap. Helen graduated from UC Berkeley with a
bachelor in music and has been a major pillar in the music industry for the
last 29 years.
Apart
from singing songs from her own albums, Jessie also pulled off her own
renditions of A Colorful Universe, Roar, Agent
J; Chinese and Japanese classics Woman Flower by Anita
Mui and Koibitoyo (My Dear Lover) by Mayumi Itsuwa.
Jessie even boldly challenged herself with Dia by Fauziah
Latiff.
The setlist ranged between fast and slow numbers.
Under
the vast stretch of the starry night sky, Jessie played Kitaro’s Matsuri effortlessly
with an organ. Also invited to perform on stage was John, a talented keyboardist from USA.
Malaysia’s
famous singers Fauziah Latiff and Ziana Zain also performed as guest artistes. Fauziah Latiff sang her two classic hits and Ziana Zain
gave a surprise rendition of Girl On Fire by Alicia Keys.
The audience almost heart-stopped when both vocal powerhouses sang powerfully. Jessie
also brought up her Wushu team to perform jaw-dropping maneuvers wielding different weapons.
While
singing the last song Tearless Sky, Jessie attempted to hold back
her tears, but was unable to do so after recalling the memories of a
17-year-old teen who succumbed to cancer. The fans responded emphatically by shouting, “Jessie, we love you!” to comfort her.
After her last song, Jessie Chung's fans clamoured for more, shouting and
chanting “Encore! Encore!” The whole arena erupted into cheers when Jessie glided back on stage singing her encore songs, Loving
You and A Starry Sky.
The
night successfully raised one hundred and thirty thousand Ringgit Malaysia
for cancer patients and orphans. It will be donated to Dr.
Jessie Chung Cancer Fund, MAKNA (National Cancer Council Malaysia),
Rainbow Home Orphanage and Shelter Orphanage.
Jessie Super Power!!
