Meeting Duffy and her concert

Friday morning we set out for an interview with Welsh singer-songwriter Duffy @ the W Hotel in Kowloon. She is here for her first concert in Hong Kong.

I was sick the day before, down with fever, flu, cough, the whole shebang. Luckily I recovered in time for the interview.

The location was reaally sweet - it was one of the suites. At one point we had to wait inside the HUGE ass bathroom with open view of the harbour complete with rain shower and Mr. Ducky (I know sounds dodgy that we're waiting inside a bathroom, right?)

Anyways, it came to our turn to interview her. Alvey was on a roll so it turned out quite good. Duffy gives really good answers, in producer's terms - her bites were very usable :) So I was quite happy about that.

No, we didn't manage to take a photo with her coz the whole thing started late, other media extended their slots and poor us were rushed to finish it ASAP. It didn't matter anyways, coz it would be very un-media like for me to want to take photos with her like fans do (hehehe yes but I would SO do it if it was Justin Timberlake!) But Alvey did though for the website - I'll have to ask our publicist for the photo so I can steal it and post it here.

That night we went to her concert in AsiaWorld Arena. Did vox-pops with the fans before the show started. A lot of them were shy to sing at first but later on we got mobbed by Alvey's fan PLUS a dad who insisted that we shoot his daughter singing a Duffy song! She was quite good too so it was all fun.

Duffy's concert was really good. Her voice sounded just like in the CD (I bought the special extended version last week, should have gotten her to autograph it, darn!) However, it woulda been better if they placed a huge screen of her so all her fans can actually see her FACE when she sang as opposed to making out the girl dancing in the middle of the stage as Duffy.

I was supposed to attend a few parties after that. But I went home and bed-rested for the rest of the weekend. Sux being sick. But on the bright side, I got to watch lots of reality tv shows that I really love. Yeay!

Oh, got the pics from Alvey. Here they are:
