How did the years go by? Now it's only me.."
The opening act (the prison break gimmick), the dancers, the costume changes.
I love Gwen Stefani.
It was all I expected, maybe even more. The tickets Omar got for us were awesome. I was seated where the Xavier supporters were during Cheer 2007.. which is directly opposite the stage, at the other end of the stadium so I had a pretty damn good view of the whole stage. Of all the concerts I've been to, she's by far the friendliest!
There was a point where she jumped off the stage and raaaaaaaaan all the way to the other end of the stadium (flanked by security guards and her band members, rofl) and she clung to the railing.. WHERE MY BLOCK OF SEATS WERE!! I was a couple of rows behind the railing, and I didn't manage to run to it when she was there.. but I saw her face, in all it's platinum blonde glory!
I thought that was incredibly nice of her, and she even sang a whole song there... "Cool" to be exact. I was all smiles because before the concert started, Omar kept saying how he should have gotten the tickets at the side of the hall... but I guess not!!! :D
But anyway, there wasn't even an opening act! And it was only a half-hour delay, so when the lights were cut, the whole stadium went crazy. Two Harajuku girls dressed in stripes (prisoners, ala Sweet Escape video clip) were running around the stage.. So when I heard the beginning of Sweet Escape playing, I think I went nuts. So Gwen Stefani strolls in right, and I knew I was in for a good show.
She performed most of my favourite songs and that really really made me happy. :D Sweet Escape, Rich Girls, YUMMMYYYYYYYYYY! (when I heard the clockworks from the end of the song I went crazy and started whacking Omar), 4 in the Morning, Wind it UPPPP!, Luxurious, Cool, Hollaback Girl, I can go and on.. I downloaded the album prior to this, so I managed to "familiarise" myself with her new songs, and Now That You Got It and Don't Get It Twisted were my new favourites!
But anyway.. after Orange County Girl the concert was supposedly over.
But I knew that wasn't true, cos how can she not perform What You Waiting For?
So we waited.. and waited.. And no one left the stadium just yet.. So she finally came back on stage in a black cloak (?) and white tights and she sang a slow song (I can't seem to put my finger on which it was..) so when the lights were cut off, she ripped her cloak and was clad in leopard print so once I heard "What an amazing time... What a family.." I YELLED MY LUNGS OUT.
That was the song I was waiting for the whole night cos it's my Numero Uno favourite Gwen song. I was kinda hoping for Crash and Bubble Pop Electric, but there was no show.. I wasn't the least disappointed though. :)
Okay, so you can tell by now that I didn't take any pictures and/or that I have a lot to say so I think I'll end it now with this...
I wanted Gwen merchandise, so Omar and I forked out 80 buckeroos to buy the T-shirt. It had her tour dates and venues at the back so I could remember the memorable night, as corny as that sounds. :) My sister was sulking at home, however, cos I didn't bring her, so she wore the shirt at home as I took a picture of it.
She wants to send it in to Pink Is The New Blog! and put a caption "Pink is the New Gwen" but I thought this caption suited better. :D
In short? The concert was A-MA-ZING.
And it was all possible thanks to this cutie..
Huge thanks to Omar's mummy for sending me home and taking us to Bukit Jalil. ;)
