Follow Singapore Investment Immigration and Life in Singapore: The "New Four Heavenly Kings" member JJ Lin returned to his hometown last night (Saturday) to perform. He held his sold-out "Timeline World Tour" at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, shouting "I'm back!" and inviting "Diva" Stefanie Sun to be the guest performer, where they sang their co-written song "She Says" together!
This year marks the 10th anniversary of JJ Lin's debut. Performing his tour in his hometown was particularly emotional. JJ said: "Returning to my hometown, my feelings are quite complex. It could be said that I feel very relaxed because I am facing familiar places, family, friends, and fans; I don't need to rush to prove anything in front of them. But I also feel it is not simple, because I want to bring back a lot of good music and tell everyone that Singapore has many excellent singers and musicians, and we can do it too!" Of course, what touches JJ the most is that 10 years since his debut also means 10 years away from home. This journey has not been easy. In addition to thanking his family for their support, there were the words of a pastor back then who encouraged him to give it his all. Last night, the pastor and his family were sitting in the audience, which made JJ speak from the heart, thanking them for their encouragement at the time, otherwise, there would be no JJ standing here today!
Returning to Singapore, the guest choice naturally had to be someone of great weight in the hearts of Singaporean fans. "Diva" Stefanie Sun, who is set to perform at the Taipei Arena on February 14th and 15th next year, was undoubtedly the best choice. She was very loyal, agreeing immediately without asking for any fee, and chose to sing "She Says," composed by JJ and with lyrics by Stefanie Sun. It is rare for a diva and a king to share the same stage, and their first public duet of "She Says" showed great chemistry and was perfect, leaving all 8,000 fans moved and touched. During the performance, JJ played the piano while Stefanie Sun leaned sexily against it, occasionally resting her chin on her hand and looking at JJ affectionately, giving her all to support her friend. Stefanie Sun playfully said: "I specifically wore Jolin Tsai's clothes today to support you, right?" JJ laughed and replied: "Seeing you dressed like this, I've already forgotten you're married!" Stefanie Sun added: "And forgotten that I have a child, right?" Stefanie Sun also revealed on stage that JJ is truly a very sweet boy. To express his gratitude for her coming as a guest, he bought her a small gift, and the bracelet she was wearing was the one JJ gave her. Stefanie Sun said: "I was really moved when I received this gift. I hope both of us continue to do better and better in the Singaporean music scene!" JJ also expressed his hope that he could be as successful in his career and have as happy a family as Stefanie Sun, and that he would keep working hard!
In addition to Stefanie Sun's support, JJ's older brother, Lin Junfeng, also came on stage to sing "Airplane," which was included in his previous album "Stories Untold," with JJ. JJ said with great emotion: "To pursue my career, I have focused on my work for the past 10 years and rarely spent time with my family. Tonight, I want to thank my family properly. Every time I return to Singapore, you treat me with extraordinary love, and I hope I haven't let you down!" The big screen on stage showed childhood photos of JJ and his brother, and their parents watched them proudly from the audience. Finally, his brother even took out his phone to take a selfie with JJ on stage, capturing this memorable moment! Because he was performing in his hometown, JJ didn't have to eat bento boxes before the show, but instead ate meals and stewed soup made by his mother and relatives, which was very blissful. Even his best friend, Harry Chang, flew in to watch the concert and accompany JJ!
During this concert, JJ referred to his good friend Stefanie Sun as a "national treasure," but as a talented musician with many skills, isn't JJ also the pride of the local scene? This performance, full of energy and emotion, is proof of his talent. There are less than two months left until the end of 2013, and there are still 5 stops left for the "Timeline World Tour," almost one per week: Changzhou, two shows in the United States, Malaysia, and Chengdu, once again proving the success of JJ Lin's 10 years of hard work!
