手裡握的沙
風會帶走它
可是那句你輕輕對我說的話
綠葉成蔭啊
又是陰天吧
你在我的生命留下一把傘
長路有多長
撐開天就藍

我的回憶很倔強
一路陪我向前看
它教會我幸福不是永遠的陪伴
而是有你在心上
一個人也勇敢

我的溫柔很倔強
愈困難愈不怕難
如果每次想起都是出發
微笑才能到達

The national icon was the undisputed star of the otherwise unsatisfying show that was not quite a musical or a concert

Local singer Kit Chan’s comeback is complete. After announcing a hiatus from the Mandopop scene in 2004, fans started seeing more of her last year with a lead role in the musical, December Rains. Last month, she released her new album Re-interpreting Kit Chan.

But what fans wanted most of all was to see her perform live once more as a singer, and so tickets to her two gigs at the Huayi Chinese Festival of Arts were quickly snapped up.

They were not disappointed. She was in fine form and her rich, warm tones, particularly in the lower register, kept the audience captivated on her familiar hits such as Heartache and Tug Of War.

As a not-quite-musical and not-quite-concert however, My Musical Journey was not quite satisfying.

There was a chronological narrative arc, delivered by former deejay Danny Yeo onstage, to give some structure to the programme. But it merely felt like an overlong gushy testimonial from a friend and fan.

The time would have been better spent having Chan do her thing, considering that the show was a relatively short 90 minutes.

Nor did the segments provide much of an insight into her musical journey. And even if there had been any interesting anecdotes or poignant reminiscences, one would rather have heard it from Chan herself.

The decision to have her perform with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra and the Meridian Junior College Choir worked better. It was certainly a novelty hearing pop songs presented in this unusual fashion and the plaintive erhu solo of Worry was a lovely interlude.

For the most part though, the orchestra and choir played a supporting role as the unmistakable star of the evening was Chan.

She was delicate and vulnerable on the Cantonese ballad Waiting, beguiling on the late Leslie Cheung’s Chase and she shone on the show-stopping Dazzling. She even took the hoary old chestnut that was The Moon Represents My Heart and made the hackneyed sentiments sound heartfelt.

The inclusion of several covers was not surprising given that her new album consists wholly of them, but it does point to a certain conundrum.

Despite releasing more than 10 albums, she has relatively few big, well-known hits. It would be interesting to see how she handles the line-up when she gets round to doing her solo pop concert.

For the encore, she gave fans a mash-up of Michael Buble’s Home and her signature song, Home. While she was relaxed and comfortable on stage throughout, it would have been nice to see more of this playful side of her.

The gig proper ended with the Mandarin version of the Dick Lee-penned Home. As she held court with this National Day song in her white blouse and full red skirt, the message was clear: A national icon was back where she belonged – on stage and in the spotlight. She was home.

Total Defence 2011 is anchored on the song “Home”, a Singaporean classic written by Dick Lee and originally sung by Kit Chan. The lyrics of “Home” reflect Singaporeans’ treasured memories and shared dreams for the future, whether they are living in Singapore or abroad.

HOMEGROWN singer-actress Kit Chan is not married, and motherhood is still out of the question for her. But in her feature film acting debut in Lover’s Discourse, she had both an unfaithful husband and an 18-year-old son, played by veteran entertainer Eric Tsang and Cantopop newbie Carlos Chan respectively.

And not only that, she was also the object of fantasy of her son’s best friend, played by up-and-coming Hong Kong singer-actor William Chan, who is also widely known as Charlene Choi’s new boyfriend following her high-profile divorce from singer-actor Ronald Cheng.

But William’s love for Kit was unrequited in the film, and in reality Kit said she will also not accept an 18-year-old admirer, because it feels legally wrong to date anyone below 21.

‘But if I am 48, and he is 28, then it is a different ball game,’ said Kit, who added that it is not the age gap that matters most. What’s more important is that a couple is on the same page.

Kit is clearly on the same page with her boyfriend of 10 years, just that she is not prepared for marriage yet.

‘My parents are not saying anything,’ so Kit is happy to busy herself with more work. She is slated to release her first studio album in six years next week, and will also perform two sold-out concerts with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra during the Huayi Festival.

While Kit is no greenhorn in the musical theatre scene, this is really the 38-year-old’s first time tackling a major and complex role. Her only other big-screen appearance was in a 1999 local film Eating Air, where she had a cameo role. Find out how she fared in the Hong Kong romance film, which also stars big names like Eason Chan, Karena Lam, Kay Tse and Eddie Png.
