(VNF) - Thomas Anders, former member of Modern Talking, melted Vietnamese audiences’ hearts with his friendliness and charming melodies during his concert on November 26^th-27^th in Hanoi.

He performed the band’s famous song You’re My Heart, You’re My Soul, and made up new lyrics at the end of the song.

“You’re my heart, you’re my soul/ That’s only thing I really know/ All over the world, and in Vietnam/ And especially in Hanoi/ You, all the people here/ Stay in my heart.”

It’s no doubt that the new lyrics won people over, as the 4,000 audience members stood up and applauded.

The single rocketed him and former bandmate Dieter Bohlen to remarkable success in early 1985. Now, Anders performed it in an “unplugged” style, accompanied by guitarist Lars Ilmer.

Mr. Anders explained that audiences everywhere always want him to sing You’re My Heart, You’re My Soul, and he had sung that song for 32 years. “I try to make it fresher by refreshing my style or with modern mixing,” he said at a press conference before the show.

Over the course of two hours, Anders performed the band’s other hits, including You Can Win If You Want, Cheri, Cheri Lady, Brother Louie, Geronimo’s Cadillac, and Atlantis Is Calling.

These songs are familiar to Vietnamese audiences in the 1980s. Though the band broke up in 2003, Modern Talking with two members Thomas Anders and Dieter Bohlen and their hits always live in people’s hearts as a memory of youth.

Modern Talking – Thomas Anders Live in Concert, brought to Vietnam by IB Group and VPBank, took place at the National Convention Centre on Saturday (Nov. 26^th) and Sunday (Nov. 27^th).

At the press conference on November 25^th, the singer said he was surprised with the friendliness of Vietnamese people when he arrived in Vietnam at the morning.

Before coming to Hanoi, he had learned a little about the capital because he sometimes visits a Vietnamese restaurant named Hanoi in his home of Koblenz.

“I was impressed by the warm hospitality and friendliness of Vietnamese people I met at that restaurant. Although I’ve just been here in Hanoi for a few hours, I’m really moved by what I’ve seen and received from all of you. You are extremely friendly,” Mr. Anders said.

Anders was born in 1963. The German singer, composer, and record producer is dubbed as The Gentleman of Music. Beside disco, he also performed pop/dance and funky songs like Why Do You Cry, Stay with Me, This Time and Give me Peace on Earth./.
