We were so excited for the Chris Brown and Rihanna concert yesterday! It was as if we were just preparing for it the whole day. I have to be honest that I was not so familiar with most of their songs, so we looked for their CD’s and did a crash course on their music.
We decided to go early as we heard from friends that the traffic was getting scary. Everything went on smoothly and went to our designated standing room only area. A couple of my friends had seats (Bleacher seats) but I found this far from the stage so we decided to just stand nearer to the stage.
At around 8:10 it started, a man came descending from the top of the stage inverted, like some urban Batman. He then started to be joined by hooded dancers and did a really cool number, I thought that
it was just an opening act but NO! It was Chris Brown himself!
Opening number: Chris Brown descending like an urban Batman!
He performed for over an hour and I loved his portion! You could really feel that he was giving his all! I loved two portions of his part: the homage to Michael Jackson and the song “With You”! He was really so GALENG! I lost my voice just screaming!
Love this part where he payed homage to the great Michael Jackson!
Fireworks as intermission!
The Rihanna stage!
After his part they transformed the stage for Rihanna. It took quite some time and good thing the producers came out with some fireworks display to entertain the 70,000-strong audience! Personally , I came to see Rihanna as I am more familiar with her songs. She came out looking great! A look that combined S&M bondage with a bit of Alma Moreno (Tangga and all) LOL!
Loving her S&M bondage outfit!
Remember the Tangga? Well, it maybe making a comeback! LOL!
Her first song was Disturbia! It was a great song to open but somehow I felt she was not giving it her all! The Filipino audience is one of the most responsive audiences in the world (I think that is one of the reasons a lot of the foreign artists come to perform here). We are sensitive to the point that if the artist is not in top form we can feel it. I felt that Rihanna was tired. She looked fantastic but she her voice was not in the best shape.
I love it when she takes it slow, her voice comes out better.
The finale! Umbrella song with a Rastafarian vibe to it! Think reggae version.
I still enjoyed her part of the show but I felt that Chris Brown did a better performance. Here are some blurry photos from that evening! See you!
Behind me was my favorite Gary V! He just did his 25th anniv show and I was hitting myself as I forgot my camera in the car! His show was awesome!
- NIx with the ever fresh Iza Calzado. I can’t imagine how anyone can
look this great in a mosh pit, I think that is why she is a star!
LOVE HER!
The concert gang! all heated up from the concert! Mosh pit is like Bikram yoga! You just need to breathe!
Post-concert drinks and analysis with my troupe! Malu, Ipe & Leica!
HUGS!
RAJO!
