I didn't intend for this post to be right exactly on his birthday, but just watching his concert clip makes me feel so overwhelmed. Who am I talking about? Well, let's take a look!
The person I'm talking about is Bird Thongchai McIntyre, a very famous singer and performer in Thailand.
Bird Thongchai or whom the Thais know as "P'Bird" is a very stunning performer. I don't think there is a single Thai who doesn't know who P'Bird is. And I bet everyone knows and can sing at least one of his songs.
Can you imagine someone at the age of 50 doing something like this? TWENTY TWO years after he released his first album, he still has a lot of fans and they are from all ages -- little kids until grandpa, grandma, all occupations, all social status, and all over the country. (I actually knows a Japanese who is crazy of Bird and really paid for everything just to get herself over to Thailand and see his performance and come back to work!)
For any concert he performs, all the tickets are usually sold out very fast. The tickets for this particular concert in the clip were from 500 Baht (~1,500 yen) up to 5,000 Baht (~15,000 Yen). My gosh!! 5,000 Baht!! That ain't cheap at all. But he still managed to fill up the hall with his fans who were willing to scream, shout, sing and dance the whole 3 hours through. It's just amazing! If I were in Thailand, I think I would have gone to his concert too. :) Not a big fan, but it's undeniable that he is a really good performer and his concert is something worth seeing.
His motto is "Bird loves everyone เบิร์ดรักทุกๆคน" and I think he proves it well. Many singers have dreamed of becoming the guest singers at his concert. The dancers also dream of dancing on stage for his concert. It's just overwhelming to see how he can do all this. If you are to call someone a 'superstar', I think he really deserves it.
