Once I was a Fan :))

I knew they were coming back here in the Philippines. A few months before their concert date, I've been seeing their posters around the Big Dome. I missed their past concerts here because those were the days I knew I still couldn't afford concert tickets 'coz I was still a student. But even if I knew about their upcoming concert here in the P.I., I didn't bother to look for tickets because I realized it's ok if I'll miss this concert. Two days before the event, I asked my source for complimentary tickets and he didn't promise.

September 29, just a few hours before the concert, I was informed that I've got 2 free Lower Box tickets! Then another friend called inviting me to join them in Upper Box A. But since I've got another friend joining me in the Lower Box, that's where I stayed. And when I got to the concert venue, I saw a lot of friends! Haha! See, I wasn't the only supporter!:))

Are you ready to know whose concert was this??? Uhm...WESTLIFE!!! lol! Yes, it's Westlife's Gravity Tour 2011 haha! It's been my favorite boy band since my grade 6 days! I even sprained my ankle in 2nd yr high school as i was jumping for joy while watching their newest music video that time! And everybody in school knew that because I was absent in class the next day! haha! In fact, when they learned about Westlife's concert here, a lot of them posted on my FB wall reminding me of the concert!:))

Well now on the bests part...I really had fun! It's probably one of the best concerts I've seen. uhm, maybe because they sang a lot of songs, plus I enjoyed the enthusiasm of the crowd. A lot of girls and gays were screaming for the boys to the top of their lungs haha! Westlife even chose a couple of fans holding interesting posters to join them on-stage! Lucky people haha! Yikes, it's been 14 years, yet they didn't look that old; though Mark definitely gained weight! LOL.

 Nicky's hot!:))

 Shane's still the same

I loved their outfits which got a theme every segment. And those outfits were matched with the songs they sang for each segment. I also like the fact that they were taking photos and videos of the crowd and sharing it via their twitter accounts. And the boy band effect was just so alive! Super cool! They got a perfect opening song, which was "When You're Looking Like That" haha! They sang songs chosen from each of their albums. They also did a mash-up of Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas' songs.

 they're taking a video of the crowd

 their RnB/Pop Mash-up - and fat Mark! haha

 so near yet so far haha

 and another set of outfit!

the crowd was asked to turn on their mobile phone's as they sing "You Raise Me Up"

I was also touched when they sang one of my favorites, "Flying without Wings". Like every other show, the concert has come to an end. Their finale song was "Uptown Girl"...and it was really appropriate! I super enjoyed the show!:)

 Uptown Girl - the finale

This night definite made me relive my high school days!:)
