Show Luo’s Concert Opening Night in Taipei! The Surprise, the Shock, the Smiles, the Tears.


Show "Xiao Zhu" Luo had his concert last night at Taipei’s Dome Arena. His performed with his elite dance skills, and danced the “3 second glue” dance with concert guest Karen Mok Wen Wei with very sexually suggesting dance moves, but elegantly executed. In the middle of the concert, his hospitalized mother surprised him with a VCR greeting. Show was moved to tears—his sentiments seemed like they were riding on a roller coaster.

Show Luo will be holding two of his “SHOW ON STAGE – Yi Zhi Du Xiu” concerts back to back in 2 days (11/17 & 11/18). For the opening, it was all visual effects that mesmerized the audience. When the lights were turned down, there was an uproar of applause and screams. Show appeared in a glow-in-the-dark military uniform and was dancing solo on the main stage. Then when the audience was completely captivated by that, he spend about 15 seconds and dashed down to the small stage up in front, and shot up from the stage there. The whole audience went wild almost tearing off the roof of the Dome Arena.

For the first minute or so after Karen Mok entered the stage, there was a technical difficulty with the microphone so there was no sound. The two were dancing positioned like a “paper clip” face to face. Karen lifted her leg and wrapped it around Show , and he used his left hand to carry her around her waist and his right hand to hang on to her leg. The “important parts” looked like when plug and socket meet.

Moreover, the two were grooving along each others bodies, hip to hip front and back action, integrating sexual movements into the dance steps – rubbing up against each other and holding each other until they “become one.” The extent of the hotness of this scene was comparable to the love scenes in the movie Lust, Caution.

“Asia’s New Dance” Show Luo demonstrated his endless talents. At this Taipei concert he included an additional “Military Saber Dance” and danced for 60 minutes non-stop. His face was like a faucet and was sweating profusely. After finishing his 10th song, “Jing Wu Men” [Dance Gate], he sprawled out on the stage looking like the character for “big” [in Chinese]. (Note: this is part of the concert, after performing that song, he would just lay on stage for a little while, not only just to catch a breath, but to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.)

His second guest was Jolin Tsai Yi Lin, who planned to something out of the ordinary, played a piano duet with Show and sang “Tian Kong” [Sky]. Other guests for tonight’s (11/18) concert include Rainie Yang Cheng Lin and Elva Hsiao Ya Xuan. Rainie has a bad cold, with bronchial inflammation and constant;y coughing, but she said, “I’m still going to sing, no mistake!”

Before the concert, Show ’s mother “Luo Ma” was hospitalized due to diabetes, so the organizers of the concert arranged for a surprise, having Ou Di Ou Han Sheng go on stage and bring Show a little recording that his mother had prepared in the hospital. As Luo Ma’s faint, anemic voice resounded, Show couldn’t bear it and started breaking down with tears. Luo Ma said, “It’s a shame that on your most important day Mama got sick and couldn't make it…but put your mind at ease. Mama will be in the hospital supporting you.” Just a short few minute video clip, Show was constantly wiping his tears and clenching his teeth. He couldn’t speak for about 3 minutes and kept crying nearly collapsing.
