Love the comments from people who observed the show. Tokio Hotel made many new fans in Singapore! Thank you to Tokio Hotel Singapore for transcribing this.
The pop singer and Tokio Hotel charmed and delivered but the Wonder Girls disappointed.
OF THE music festival’s line-up over the three days, Tuesday’s certainly takes the cake for being the most international. There was saucy Katy Perry from California, pop rock band Tokio Hotel from Germany and pop group Wonder Girls from South Korea.
Not every act left a good taste in the mouth, though. After local singer Inch Chua, alternative rock band The Like and singer-songwriter Orianthi from Down Under warmed up the crowd, the five Girls came on around 8.30pm in an assortment of short dresses. They proceeded to underwhelm with their singing which sounded rather shrill and ragged.
They were also dwarfed by the size of the stage and could easily have done with another, say, five back-up dancers. Or perhaps they could have a live band instead of singing to a minus-one track as if this were a karaoke session.
When they disappeared for a costume change, a music video of theirs played on the screens. It was not a good sign that they sounded considerably better then.
Reappearing in matching denim outfits, they urged the crowd to sing along for Tell Me before ending with their big hit, Nobody. Their moves were smoothest here, but then again, they have been doing the same routine to this track for two years now so they certainly have had plenty of practice.
Tokio Hotel were up next and while some might dismiss them as goth-lite, they definitely got the crowd going. Next to them, the Wonder Girls seemed like rank amateurs.
In his all-black get-up, lead singer Bill Kaulitz looked like a tall and gangly dark angel with out-of-control shoulder pads. The boys revved things up with their radio-friendly brand of pop-rock and even hauled a motorcycle onstage.
They also knew how to turn up the drama, so Darkside of the Sun came complete with jets of flames.
(the rest is about Katy Perry)
Comments from people who attended:
Vox Pops
Germane D’Rozario, 20, student – I liked Tokio Hotel and Katy Perry. They really made an effort to make their performance mind-blowing. It was really good to see Orianthi perform for the first time. Wonder Girls were disappointing, though. I expected more from them.
Ahmad Kahar, 32, advertising executive – I thought it was very well organized. The acts were very cool. And even though I’m not an emo guy, I ended up falling in love with Tokio Hotel.
Kaylee Sia, 22, banker – I thought it was pretty good. The sound system was awesome. I liked that Katy Perry invited the audience to dance with her. Tokio Hotel put in a lot of effort for the visual effects. Overall, it was worth the money I spent.
Raymond Chia, 34, fund manager – I think Tokio Hotel’s performance was the best. The tightness of the band, their showmanship, and how they came back for an encore were all very commendable. The first few bands were not very good, though it makes sense that they would save the best for last.

I am just as happy as the people who were there because of the good review they got…although I have to admit I am a little jealous. I am hoping they will do some shows in US and Canada in the fall as they are talking about coming to US, Vegas particularly to celebrate their 21st B-day. And I am assuming they would not come just for the B-day celebration but also to see their fans. So lets cross our fingers people.
The pants he wore during the Singfest was the one or the same pants he wore on his catwalk for Dsquared2 fashion show in Milan earlier this year. Looks good on him.
Yes, I voted on Spin.com ——- just typed “Tokio Hotel”

That goes to show how much effort TH puts into their show to make it perfect. I mean people probably didn’t expect much but the motorcycle and the other visual effects definitely proved shows how well their performance was put together. My favorite comment was from “Raymond Chia.” ^.^
