The Concert...

I've just gotten back from the Celine Dion concert. It was postponed till today because Celine got sick in Australia and had to rest. In the end it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I blame the crowd. They weren't enthusiastic, they didn't sing along, they didn't get up to move or dance, they didn't even cheer much! I'm very mad! I love Celine so much and my first experience of her turns out to be this shit? Furious doesn't even come close to describing how mad I am! I'm so mad I am on the verge of flying into an intensely gay apoplectic fit of rage!

I got to the Merdeka Stadium at like 5 o clock cause we wanted to be first in line so we could take our pick of the seats we wanted. The concert was to start at 8 but when we got to the stadium at 5 30 the line was already really long. My mum had this great idea to cut into the long line and I was all "thats wrong!" but eventually I folllowed her. The gates opened at 7 and people started dashing for them. The line of people that seemed quite well drawn at the beginning when I arrived, suddenly crumpled into this mass of pushing bodies and I was nearly crushed by this bunch of crazed gay Celine fans. We had to sneakily get out of the big crowd after I was saved from the gaggle of hissing malay homo's by my mother, and then overtake the sea of complaining people to get to the front. I admit we were very wrong and bad in doing this but, I tell you, if we hadn't I might have been crushed by another group of chinese gay guys who were all "chiang hwa yu" bitchily. I was amazed at how many gay people there were there. I had never seen so many before except for the time I went to my friends club which it turns out now isn't really a gay club. There were tonnes of them everywhere and my mother was gawking at them as if they were zoo animals. "LOOK NICOLE!" she woud squeal to my sister "LOOK AT THE WAY THEY WALK! LOOK AT THE WAY THEY MOVE!!". I was so embarassed.

After we got in, we found these seats that were near some toilets and the show began. The crowd like I said sucked but when Celine started singing We Will Rock You, I and this gay guy, who was quite cute but had come with his boyfriend who wasn't that cute and who kept giving me dirty looks because I kept checking out his boyfriend, couldn't stand it anymore and stopped caring about the crowd and started cheering and singing along and then we got up and danced and my mother and my sister and the gay guys boyfriend all followed suit after a while.

The concert ended much earlier than we all expected. It lasted about an hour and a half only! After Celine sang My Heart Will Go On I nearly cried and then the concert ended. We took some pictures during, before and after the concert (none of the gay guy though, but take my word for it, he was really really cute) but I won't upload them now because I haven't downloaded them into my com yet. I'm so lazy. I also bought a shirt. Its black and says "Celine Dion Taking Chances World Tour Kuala Lumpur" or something like that. There are no pictures or fancy smancy thingies because the picture ones were really expensive, like 100 ringgit per shirt. This shirt, which is quite dull only cost me 25 ringgit and still I think I was cheated because I can buy shirts at Petaling Street for less. I'll post a picture with me wearing the shirt after I take the picture which will happen soon after I wash the shirt.

Oh Yeah! One more thing that made the concert not so fun the lack of costumes! Celine was supposed to have 3 outfits but she only wore 2 and the last dress which was yellow she only wore for one song. She was supposed to wear this red and white suite with black tie and suspenders perhaps you saw it in my last post but she didn't wear that! I'm angry because I anticipated that and she didn't wear it! Ok, this was her fault but I think if the crowd had been more sporting I would have been able to overlook this slight wardrobe error. So in conclusion I still blame the crowd.
