Lelaki Melayu Terakhir

We went to see M.Nasir's performance at Planet Hollywood last nite. The girls been trying to get dinner reservation to his show without avail, so we finally decided to just walk-in early to try to get seatings and eat dinner at the bar stool and we were lucky, our seatings gives us a very good view of our very favorite artist in the world.

Sigh.. M Nasir must be the most talented artist of his time, just behind the late Tan Sri P Ramlee. I love all his songs and compositions, especially his music which is deep and spiritual as well. All his songs and lyrics have deep meaning. For e.g. KepadaMu Kekasih is a song about the absolute love for God. And the song Tanya Sama itu Hud-hud was done in a penglipur lara style. My very favorite is Raikan Cinta, a song that accompanied me thruout my sojourn thruout Europe on my MP3 as well as Express Rakyat aptly downloaded by my brother Ajak for the long Eurail trip.. so that I won't feel homesick. The fact that he addressed the Planet Hollywood audience in Malay reflects his humble style. We came at 7:15PM for dinner and left at 3AM! My favorite song Raikan Cinta, KepadaMu Kekasih, Semerah Padi and dozen of other songs. Too bad Hattan leapt on stage during the rendition of KepadaMu Kekasih which should only be sung by M Nasir's beautiful voice.. all of us were quite upset when Hattan keep interrupting, spoiling our moment and M Nasir's as well. However, when Hattan finally stopped and Nasir lost his footing, his fans started singing to guide him.

I think half of the audience are his fellow artists thruout Malaysia. No wonder it's hard for the public to get a seat. Both his shows on Feb 12 and 19 were fully booked even before its press release.

M Nasir must one of the most attractive and talented lelaki Melayu. Many girls must have gigit jari when he chose Marlia Musa after his late wife passed away. What can we say, M Nasir is the best! He absolutely, definately, totally won the title Lelaki Melayu Terakhir for me ;)
