Blue and SHINee and pink for SNSD
F.T. Island!! ♥
Saturday was truly memorable, since I was able to see two of my favourite K-Pop bands, F.T. Island and SHINee. I was really excited and I simply couldn't believe how time had passed so fast. It seemed just awhile ago when I was accompanying Rach to get her number tag to buy tickets. I never thought of going to the concert at all seeing that I wasn't really into that genre of music at that time. An unexpected turn of events led to an extra ticket and so I decided, why not just go. I love concerts anyway. So yes, I started brushing up on my K-Pop knowledge and listening to more K-Pop songs. My Korean song playlist grew from just below 10 to about 300 now - still not a lot, but sufficient. I started listening SHINee first and then Rach introduced me to F.T. Island's Barae and that was when I really started listening to many more groups like C.N. Blue, Big Bang, TRAX, 2AM, 2NE1 and Girls' Generation. And I really like them! Of course, I must mention Stef for being an awesome teacher in face recognition too!
I didn't really listen to the songs of the other groups who performed like ZE:A, Infinite and The Boss prior to the concert but I realised I kinda liked their songs when they performed them.
Anyway, F.T. Island opened the concert with Bing Bing Bing. And the best part was, they were not freaking handsyncing like they do in MuBank or MuCore. Ohmygod imagine my elation when Minhwan gave preparatory beats on the drums. The sound of an awesome live rock band is pure eargasm. Jonghun was damn awesome with his guitar solos although they could have been louder. Hongki's powerhouse vocals absolutely didn't disappoint but no thanks to the lousy sound system which couldn't take it.
And they totally hyped up the atmosphere with Barae. I screamed like a freak when the intro of the song came on. Minhwan was so hot lol. My favourite K-Pop jam FOREVA okay. Jaejin and Seunghyun were so cute! (Anyway the 'OI' in my fancam was for the stupid person in front blocking and sorry about my screaming when the song started)
Then they performed Sarang Sarang Sarang which was amazing live. Loved Seunghyun's part.
Flower Rock was up next and it got everyone grooving to its heavy rock beat. I was kinda sad that it was their last song and they had to leave the stage. :(
The acts were followed by The Boss (A Bright World, StumbleStumble, and Admiring Boy), ZE:A and Infinite. ZE:A's Malzetov got us singing along (FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY), followed by All Day Long and Bad Talk Sad. The Boss and Infinite were not bad as well. And I thought Infinite were really synchronised in their dancing and She's Back, Wings and Come Back Again are really catchy songs! My current jams! Wasn't really paying that much attention to The Boss though. Sorry :S
Then out came SHINee! The boys didn't disappoint - even without Jonghyun and with some mistakes here and there, but who cares! :) They started off with Replay Boom Track (MY FAVOURITE SONG FROM THEM!!) and I was totally hyped up when I found out that they weren't lip syncing Jonghyun's part. And when Taemin sang Jonghyun's part at the beginning... :') I swear HE WAS DAMN GOOD. Feel like a proud mother. And Key is freakin' flawless. But umm, Taemin's hair.. *shakes head*
!!! HOT MINHO AT 1:42 !!!
Then they sang Ring Ding Dong and Onew screwed up his first part LOL. He sang the wrong lyrics and he suddenly stopped and looked down. Taemin helped him with one word and Onew suddenly looked up and sang damn loudly, "MY LADY!~" Lee Jinki why are you so funny. Haha more spazzing about Taemin with Rach continued.
Lucifer was up next and I was really happy cuz this was the song that officially brought me into K-Pop! And TAEMIN'S LONG HIGH NOTE OMGOMGOMGGG IT IS FREAKING EPIC. But Minho didn't do his piga nanda trademark thingy though. Whyyyy Minho :( His rap was (Y) though! Oh I did the fanchant for that too! :D LEE JINKI, KIM JONGHYUN, KIM KIBUM, CHOI MINHO, LEE TAEMIN, SHINEE, LUCIFER!
They sang Hello too! I think we were very lucky that they performed that, seeing that they released it not too long ago! I love the song! But no couple dance that day! Amazing performance nonetheless!
Next up was the act that most of the fanboys were waiting for - SNSD! The nine pretty girls rocked the stage and brought atmosphere to an all new high. Cheering from the guys could be heard and truth be told, it is kinda freaky lol ._. They performed Genie, Oh, Run Devil Run and Gee! All their hit songs. I wanted to do the fanchants but no one around me was doing and I felt like a retard chanting on my own so I didn't continue. They were not prefect in their singing but their performance was really awesome. Taeyeon was awesome though! She hit all her high notes! And during Gee, Rach and I totally stopped taking videos and pictures to simply just embrace the moment. During the last chorus, we both sang Taeyeon's super high part and we got weird envious stares from the people in front of us. Take that you fat girl who keeps blocking our view!! SARANGHAEYO SONYUHSHIDAE!
Lastly, the moment all the VIPs have been waiting for - Big Bang's performance! They were damn good live but it was quite sad for me because I was not very familiar with their songs (I still am). But hey at least I knew a few! Teehee.
They started off with Gara Gara Go but I have no idea what that song was. All I remember was everyone around me screaming ._. Then they sang Number 1! THEN OMG THEY SANG HARU HARU acoustic version I LOVE THAT SONG IT IS MY FAVE ONE FROM THEM! Starting singing along and calmed down abit hahahaha. Then it was Lies omg love that song too. "I'M SO SORRY BUT I LOVE YOU!~". Last Farewell, How Gee and Hands Up totally brought the house down Big Bang ended their performance with a bang (no pun intended), aided with pyrotechnics. Awesome way to end the 23rd October.
I wished it lasted longer though. Too short for me. During the 'credits' they came out with the song 'We Are The World' - the newer version LOL a bit weird! Justin Bieber started off the song wth! But uh well I thought that the artistes could have sung a song together, which would have been better but seeing their short rehearsal time especially SNSD, that's not really possible.
Overall, the night was really enjoyable but I wished everyone would have sat down because their heads are so damn irritating while blocking my fancams!! But okay fine it is a concert after all; everyone is bound to get high. BUT STUPID FAT GIRL. Argh.
Will continue attaching fancams once they are uploaded. By the way, all pictures and videos here are taken by Rach and I. :)
Just a last picture to end this post:
