Rockapella

Just got back from the Esplanade from watching Rockapella concert. OMG!!!!!!!! Enjoyed every minute of it. Anyway, for those who don’t know, Rockapella is an all guy acapella group that sings. Omg! (I’m still kinda high).

Met up with the two Lalas. And Su Hui and Sumi. Had to run to get in cos the person with the tickets on their side was late and we just made it in after the usher told us to run cos the doors were closing. Not that great seats (kinda center, circle3 top floor, LAST row in the ENTIRE concert hall). The people on stage looked so small. :p But what to expect from $45 seats? haha!

Their singing was like, woah! Completely blew me away. They sound so good. The acoustics of the hall complemented them so well. And then there were segments when they didn’t use the mics and sang just like that. And I could hear them clearly all the way from where I was sitting (considerable distance from the stage). They did a lot of SG banter, like talking about Singlish and the lah and calling each other buaya, and talking about liking the food at the newton hawker store. One song they sang, “The Lion sleeps tonight“, they changed the lyrics to “merlion sleeps tonight”. haha!!!! Then there was a segment where they pulled up a lady from the audience onstage with them and flirted with her during the song. Their chemistry onstage (between the group) was electrifying. Then they talked about singing the “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego” theme song “every.day.for.five.years.” *laugh*

Their dance moves. Woah. I admit, I was mainly watching Scott. He’s like, rubber legged, all those moves he did. He was so high and just having so much fun that it was infectious. He was a bit like the Energiser Bunny. Well, considering that in the programme he says he drinks Tiger Beer to get ready for a show, I kinda wonder if he’s completely sober onstage. Btw, one of their sponsers is Energiser.  hehe! They were making fun of their vocal percussionist Jeff Thatcher (“he speaks.”) Their bass guy, George Baldi (the third. Apparently) was dang low voice. Sexy. haha!

Initially wanted to go buy their album but the concourse was like swarming with people and the queue was hell. AND later on, Rockapella came out and did autographs (of which the queue was worse). So we left. (I know, so_____. Can’t remember the word all of a sudden).

All in all, loved it. Gives Rockapella 4.5 out of 5 stars on my all purpose rating.  Enjoyed my evening out in their concert.
