St James Power Station was distinguished by the type of crowd it attracts, which consists of mostly what Singaporeans label as "Ah Lians" and "Ah Bengs" (rebellious and counter-cultural female and male youths respectively). 80% of its customers are Singaporeans and rest are tourists. Performers here play a good mix of live English and Mandarin hits, while dancers do what they do best by transforming the place into a slightly classier-than-usual getai, which is a traditional Chinese stage performance consisting of old classic tunes, dancing and bright colorful costumes.
