梅艷芳日前於美國大西洋城登台,勁歌熱舞之餘還加入歌劇形式表演,給人耳目一新的感覺,吸引數千觀眾入場支持,終場時台下歌迷更一併站立起舞,久久不願散去,且大喊「阿梅二十年不變,只有變得愈來愈美麗」,令阿梅相當感動。
今次阿梅登台,依舊帶同草蜢及徒弟彭敬慈作嘉賓,最近以金短髮示人的她特意將頭髮梳起半呎高,雖然在香港開演唱會時,阿梅穿上宮廷式禮服而走光,今次她再以這身打扮出場,將台下情緒掀至高點。
阿梅入行二十年的演唱,當然少不了以往首本名曲的回顧,由唱抒情歌〈似是故人來〉到快歌〈妖女〉、〈淑女〉等,阿梅吸引了不少歌迷擠擁到台前,台上台下打成一片,氣氛熱鬧。#

Anita Mui, the Eastern Madonna, is coming to Ontario.
Frequently starring in movies with Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, and Chow Yun-Fat, Mui is more famous as an actress in North America.
But her real strength is as a singer, and her upcoming concert, July 11 at Casino Niagara, is generating a lot of excitement in the Chinese community. Her popularity spans all age groups and backgrounds.
Three-quarters of the tickets for the Anita Mui Fantasy Gig were sold out within a month after the news was released, said Ken Wong, manager of the concert’s ticket agency.
Ticket prices ranged from $48 to $168.
Mui is often compared with Madonna, not only because their careers started at almost the same time but also because they are chameleons ?constantly projecting a new image. A straight translation of her nickname is ”100 changing Mui.”
Her gender-bending persona ranges from elegant aristocrat to wild tomboy, from gangster to schoolgirl, and from hard-boiled businesswoman to charming sexpot.
She never repeats herself on the stage and much of a concert’s budget is spent on costumes.
Mui’s chameleon quality is also reflected in her 39 albums. She sings in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese and her repertoire includes love songs, dance tunes, and Chinese opera.
Also known as the diva of Asia, Mui began singing in nightclubs at age 4. She became a pop singer 14 years later, in 1982, the year she won first place in the First New Talent Singing Contest in Hong Kong.
In the succeeding two decades, Mui has been the most successful female singer globally, wherever Chinese is spoken. More than 10 million copies of her albums were sold in her first 11 years in the business.
Mui has given more than 140 solo concerts in Hong Kong, where she won the award for the most popular female singer for five straight years ?until she announced in 1990 that she would not accept any more singing awards.
The Toronto concert is part of a world tour celebrating her 20th anniversary as an entertainer. Mui finished her concert in Malaysia last month (May) and will go on to Atlantic City, Oakland, and Sydney after Toronto.
Her one and only previous concert in Toronto was in 1993.#
