Did you ever had a beyonce experience where you just couldn't help but sing & shout?

*ringa ringa ringa ringa ring di alarm, ringa ringa ringa ringa ring di
alarm*

That reggae song, murder she wrote that beyonce sang last night at her
concert is still ringing in my mind. oh, speaking of which. I went to her concert with my Jeddah friends :) Carlo, Anne, Lau, Neng & I met at moa first and ate supper before heading to Taguig. We arrived around 7pm & we thought we were already late. Nagtext na kasi si beyonce kay carlo:

....wer na u? andito na akechi - beyonce

Hahahaha! So ayun, everyone was experiencing a li'l bit of traffic at the parking area, i guess drivers were a lil jigiddy that time anxious that they might miss the opening number. Fortunately though the concert didn't start 'till 830 pm. Yun nga lang, our feet already hurt even before beyonce started the show with crazy inlove. So un, we were walking our way looking for the general admission area. We passed by vip na,,ssvip,,,patron a,,,patron b,,,,after 48 years nakarating na kami ng general ad! kabilang dulo pala ng Taguig! haha! Then it happened,,,, that morning i was a li'l worried they might not allow video cameras inside the open area. I asked carlo naman & he was pretty sure only SLR cameras or those professional models were not allowed inside. Sadly, even simple video cams were prohibited. So Lau was kind enought to accompany me all the way back to the parking area which was like 5 minutes away just by walking so it was pretty exhausting going back and forth just to drop off a video cam. So yun, we all settled down around 730pm in a place where we could atleast get a glimpse of the stage and the ant version of beyonce....It was already 8 pm and the big screens were still flashing advertisements and no sign of Miss B. I don't know what was going on backstage but the concert was one hour and a half late. It started at 830pm when she appeared from the right side wearing her silver gown. Then we were absolutely sure the concert was about to start when she shouted,

Are you ready to be entertained?

Everyone just shouted apparently excited to see her perform live. It was unbelievable, it was my first time to actually attend a concert of an international artist so it was pretty overwhelming.

The stage was awesome, the whole wall was filled with LED lights so it appeared to be like a big IMAX screen behind her.

Everyone was singing songs which was a huge hit here in Manila like Listen and Irreplaceable but other than that, only beyonce fans were able to sing other songs from her 2 solo albums like me myself and I, Upgrade U, Dangerously inlove, freakum dress. She also sang some of the hits she shared with Destinys Child, like the decade old No no no no & other hits from the album Writings on the wall. The beyonce experience ended with her huge hit from her latest album, Irreplaceable. Everyone was singing in unison, i guess yung iba un lang tlga pinunta. hehe. Actually Beyonce wanted the audience to sing it first thats why she pointed the mic towards us during the famous to the left to the left part. It was fun singing it with other people you don't know.

Anyway, I could say that it is by far the best concert i've been to. And by far, it is the ONLY concert i've ever been to. haha! I loved the concert, the whole beyonce experience was amazing, she did made sure that every ticket we bought was worth it. Everyone had a blast, it actually felt bitin, we didn't expect that 2 hours was a lil short .

Tama si anne, kung alam lang namin gnun kaganda yung show, we would've taken vip tickets. Frankly nanghinayang kaming lahat. The beyonce experience will be out in DVDs anyway.
