Nicholas Teo trading "goody-two-shoes" for dancing shoes

Disco, waltz and chair dancing, you probably won’t connect them to singer Nicholas Teo... at least not till his upcoming concert.

Popularly known as Zhang Dong Liang, the 26-year-old Malaysian singer isn’t planning a change in his profession, just a change in his repertoire and maybe image, as well.

The singer many call a “goody-two-shoes” will be putting on some dancing shoes when he takes to the stage for his maiden concert “From Now On Live in Singapore” to be held on 31st May.

Since stepping onto the entertainment scene after winning a talent quest in 2002, the “Prince of Ballad” has been noted for his singing abilities rather than dancing.

But he is eager to give his fans something different when they turn up at the Suntec Convention Hall.

“I want my Singaporean fans to know that there can be another side of me which can be fun. So I had a discussion with the management and we decided to include these acts,” Nicholas enthusiastically announced to the media when in Singapore recently.

Although the singer has had no prior dancing background and is still nursing an injury sustained during a concert in Indonesia, he is determined not to let anything get into the way of his performance.

“The initial stages were hard as I had to start from scratch to master the basic moves. Even after getting the steps right, my instructor commented that I looked dead-panned when dancing”, he laughed.

Will all the training pay off? It seems most likely, especially for Nicholas’ female fans.

“I will drench myself and then remove my shirt,” he cheekily teased the media when pressed for details of his show.

But as expected, the entertainer best loved for being the-boy-next-door, quickly added that there won’t be too much for parents to worry about since he has taken into account the negative feedback from his concert in Taiwan where his sexy routine with a female dancer wasn’t entirely well-received.

After all, Nicholas may have his heart set somewhere else, such as with Taiwanese singer Cyndi Wang, his co-star in the idol drama Smiling Pasta.

But surprisingly, the young lady whom he’s been romantically linked to isn’t the special guest on his show, as widely rumoured.

Nicholas revealed that Faye Zhan, vocalist of popular Taiwanese pop-rock band Fairyland in Reality (F.I.R.), will instead be making an appearance.

“Many friends offered to help out for this concert. However, due to clash of schedules and other unforeseen circumstances, I was able to get Faye as my special guest. I am sure many fans will be surprised with this unique combination” explained Nicholas.

Hmmm... so maybe the rumours about Cyndi Wang were true after all, except plans by Nicholas' special lady-friend to appear alongside him fell through.
