Singaporean singer Xu Meijing, the original singer of “Knowingly” and “Allure”, went to Nanjing to hold a “meet-and-greet concert” earlier. However, some audience members said that Xu Meijing only sang for half an hour in the entire performance, making up most of the show. The time was spent chatting and interacting with fans, and the band even sang some classic songs on their behalf, which aroused dissatisfaction among the audience and demanded refunds for their tickets. However, according to reports, the organizer refused to give back and even said that requesting a refund was a “dream”. There are reports that the Beijing Cultural and Tourism Bureau has launched an investigation.
Taiwanese musician Xu Changde, who used to be the head of Xu Meijing’s record company, posted on Facebook about the incident. The first sentence stated, “I believe Xu Meijing. I have never seen her do anything for fame and fortune.”
Xu Changde said that for many years, people have wanted to recruit Xu Meijing to perform in commercials, but Xu Meijing always replied that she could only sing a few songs, or even refused. Xu Changde believes that based on the recent wave of memories of 90s pop songs, “As long as she nods her head and is willing to sing a song in any variety show, her income will be more than this concert.”
Xu Changde believes that Xu Meijing is “a person who doesn’t explain much for herself”, and when faced with the situation of being a singer this time, “I think she will be the same this time.” Xu Changde recalled that he was filming the MV and cover photos of “We Are Home at Night” in Singapore. Since it was winter in Taiwan when it was released, the stylist arranged winter clothes for Xu Meijing to work outdoors on the hot streets of Singapore. “She was really as quiet as a woman.” Like a tree, she stood by it without saying a word.” After the work was over, the stylist told Xu Changde that Xu Meijing’s winter clothes were too wet to dry. Finally, Xu Changde hopes that “the company that planned this concert for her can sincerely face consumers. Artists are a very vulnerable group. I hope that Meijing will be safe, and I hope that in the next response, this commercial performance company will deal with it professionally.” Unprofessional to myself”.
As for the organizer, who finally spoke out after two days of negative reviews, they “underestimated the audience’s expectations to hear the original singer sing the classic.” Regarding the audience’s dissatisfaction with Xu Meijing’s interaction with the audience, the organizer originally wanted to wait for the fans to have the opportunity to talk to their idols. However, they did not expect that it was considered too lengthy and they would make adjustments in the future based on the shortcomings. Xu Meijing was scheduled to hold another “meet-and-greet concert” in Wuhan next month but has stopped selling tickets.
49-year-old Xu Meijing first became popular in Taiwan in the mid-1990s, with famous works such as “Regret”, “Behind the Bar” and “Moonlight in the City”. In 1997, Hui Meijing released a selection album “Listen to the Wonderful 13 Songs” in Hong Kong, which sold more than 200,000 copies. The two Cantonese title songs on the album, “Knowingly” and “Allure”, were both very popular. However, Xu retired after releasing his Mandarin album in 2000. At that time, it was rumored that he was mentally disturbed. Xu Meijing made a limited comeback in 2014, but only occasionally participated in music performances. Later, Xu Meijing admitted in public that she was suffering from schizophrenia and revealed that she felt like she was going to die when she was in the hospital.
