Clean-cut decency to raunchy sexuality

Even goody-two-shoes like Gigi Leung and Eason Chan have succumbed to graphically seductive acts in their concerts. Gigi danced with Vanness Wu in a provocative manner during her recent concert and was a different person altogether from her usual sweetie-pie image. Eason Chan too, included seemingly lecherous acts with his dancers in his concert. They were done in front of his wife and child.

His reply to this topic was his intention to evoke the senses of the audience. He claimed that he was just catering to their likes and it is really just a game. He seems to be conforming to the "need" to spice up his act. Is there a need to? A singer sings. That is his primary duty. Eason is already known for his voice. Since it is only a game, there is no whole-hearted attitude towards it but the audience cannot see that when they see his antics. He will inevitably give them the wrong impression that he advocates them. Even his child may start having the wrong notions about his values and his sexuality.

He mentioned that he wanted to test his sexual preference through these acts and that it was reinforced as a result. That is a lame excuse really. He is already married to a woman and is a father. He implied that this makes him an improved product and on par with his contemporaries. To do such acts is to improve oneself?? His definition of "improved" is certainly warped. I think he and the rest of the performers who do these acts are actually regressive in their morals; decadent with such licentious behaviour.
