Ok first of all i got to say rihanna's so the performer la. Her presence on stage was electrifying. I know that's her show but i still wanna say that she totally owned that night and stole the show.
I actually bought the tix from my sis who has this friend selling VIP area sits for like cheaper. Then i realised that it was an invite and thus the VIP seats like duhhh. Anyway it's VIP so the people who wanted to stand in the space in front of us got chased away by security. Damn the singaporeans. But i'm not complaining cause they blocked our view standing up.
Before the show the stage was like cloaked in this black fabric so i was like thinking maybe rihanna's gonna come up from one of the exit below. Then they were playing the music louder and louder before the show and the people were screaming all of a sudden. I turned to look at the exit only to see this figure sashaying down. I swear i got fooled a few times already. I mean, it's rihanna y'know. Can't differentiate her from common folks? People even screamed with "womanizer" started playing. Hello? Britney's song? All fake rihanna fans i tell you. Damn the bubblegum pop preteens.
Disclaimer: the pictures were taken by my sister's friend. A lot of them were blur so i didn't bother to upload. All the vids and pics were taken by us i had to upload to youtube cause blogger vid takes such a long time.
Before the show. This is our view of the stage.
Stadium starting to pack up.
Singaporean fans are truly one-of-a-kind PITAs i tell you. The show was supposed to commence at 8 if i'm not wrong. At 8 plus people were still sashaying trying to find their seats. Even when rihanna showed up they were still taking their own time y'know. I'm pissed cause a few of them blocking the view of the opening act.
And she goes .. "Bum bum bee dum bum bum bee dum bum".
It's DISTURBIA! "Bum bum bee dum"...
Up to this point everything was perfect. The music was LOUD and THUMPING at my ears and everything was vibrating. And then, rihanna's mike failed. Seriously. Opening song y'know. But there was still music and the background singers and everything but just not RiRi's voice. Damn you know. I blame it on the backstage crew. For humiliating RiRi and raining on my parade. Or hers. I blame everything on the backstage crew.
But, being the professional performer that she is, rihanna kept her composure while she was singing and at times trying to adjust the mike. You can go youtube find the vid la, i don't have it.
Damn you useless backstage crew.
"Hellooooo?"
"Disturbia, it's like the darkness is light. Disturbia, am i scaring you tonight".
Keeping her composure and dancing to the music.
And finally losing it. After whispering something to guitarist she struts offstage.
Okay, to be fair to rihanna she did wait for like 1 min for the backstage crew to do something about it. They didn't so she went on to signal to them rather aggressively. Or as bee puts it "throwing a bitchfit".
I swear rihanna's looking at me telling me to rock harder.
My song of the moment! - "Live your life".
-"Breakin' Dishes". Head of dancer just exploded to rihanna's sheer vocals.
-"Good girl gone bad".
Kickass rock chic outfit.
View from the back.
-"SOS".
On the big screen.
- "Pon de replay".
- "Rehab". Damn nice song.
Changes into another outfit. "Umbrella, ella ella, eh eh eh..."
I can't hear you..
Sorry for the short vids. I wasn't the one with the camera man.
And the last song was Umbrella of course. The song that really put her on the charts. Which was originally written for Britney but um, too bad. Okay i was already a rihanna fan but after this concert i tell you, i've converted into a even bigger rihanna fan. Serious. Biggest, baddest fan ever. Hardcore. Okay you get the idea.
Rihanna rawks la. And i wanna go to another concert again. Come back rihanna!!!
