Sammi Cheng 鄭秀文 - 回來我身邊 (Live)

@ Love Mi Concert 2009

What I Like About The Performance:
At first, I hated this song performance compared to her live 2004 Sammi vs Sammi concert version because when I first heard this at her concert, it seemed to lack power compared to the other power ballads Sammi usually sing. But when I heard it again on DVD, I understood she was trying to interpret the song with a brighter tone, which made me like the song even better than before. The use of a brighter tone gave the lyrics of the song a more intimate feeling. Sammi shows in this performance that a ballad is not made of only hitting all the notes correctly and singing on top of your lungs, but the message you try to convey in the song

What I Didn't Like About the Performance:
Ever since Sammi's 2 year hiatus from 2004, she sang about 3 keys lower than she did before, and her voice got deeper. So at parts 1:18 "吸引" and 2:41 "梢".......you could barely hear the high notes cause she could barely hit them. But then again, when you listen to sammi, you're not listening to technique, you're listening to the whole feel of the song because she pours out so much emotion.

Agree, disagree, or thought the the performance stunk? Post your reason why in the comments below. If you also find a live performance of someone who can sing this song better live, please share with me.
