Taotally in love-David Tao's concert overran by 30 minutes but it was not enough for his fans


David Tao teased but his fans wanted more.


An exclusive one-hour showcase at the Singapore Expo last Saturday ran over by 30 minutes- the crowd clearly could not get enough of their boyish-looking heart-throb.


Dressed in a black T-shirt and blue denim jeans, the 36-year-old strutted onto the stage at 8pm and launched into Susan Said, a track from his fifth and latest studio album, The Great Leap.


That was an hour after the scheduled time, but his tardiness didn't seem to matter to the fans. Some arrived as early at 9am to grab the best spots at the free-standing concert, organisers say.


About 5000 tickets were distributed for this showcase through album and mobile phone sales, as well as contests.


Tao's appearance cued the immediate whipping out of digital cameras, cellphones and neon light sticks from the audience, which was mainly made up of young females.


One group presented him with a self-designed white shirt which seemed two sizes too small for the lanky Taiwanese.


When he saw the words "For Lucky" on the back, he joked:"Is this for my dog?"


The man clearly knows his audience. Although the music video for his industrial rock song, Ghost, was playing repeatedly before the showcase began, Tao chose to stick to the more popular ballads, such as Who Do You Love?, for his performance.


By the time he launched into his signature tune I Love You for the finale, everyone in the hall was swaying to the music and echoing the chorus.


Five songs that night were obviously not enough for them, but until Tao's next concert here- possibly at the end of the year, he revealed- it'll have to do for now.
