Intensity Conert with Rain, U-Kiss, Christian Bautista
Why is Rain a solo singer? That’s because he’s the best, and not caring about him means there’s something wrong with you XP
“Intensity” was announced to commence on the 11th of September without a month of promotions since its confirmation on August 25. And at 8:00 pm at the SM Mall of Asia Open Concert Grounds, fans of different ages suffocate themselves as they penetrate the growing crowd.
I arrived at the venue at 6:00pm and ate at Classic Savory with my parents before the concert since I don’t want to line-up that long like what the other fans did. Videocams were not allowed so eeerrrr… what a bummer. And I couldn’t get the heck on why didgicams were allowed! Some didgicams are equipped with higher mega pixels that other videocams so, psh. What a stupid restriction that is and poor judgement as well. Well, at least the show started at 8:30! Only 30 minutes delayed and as I expected, there will always be delays, ppfff. Christian Bautista welcomed the crowd with his rendition of “Wrong Number” originally sung by One Way, a Korean trio-vocal group (and a great one at that), followed by his cover of “Beautiful Girl” by Jose Mari Chan, and the last one is the song which get him to places all across South East Asia, “The Way You Look at Me”. He wowed the crowd including me, since I wasn’t a fan of his. He’s really great at live performances and that’s basing from how horrible he sounds at studio performances in ASAP. (LOLs)
Followed by U-Kiss, a group that I’ve seen a million times in person! I wasn’t that much excited since I get to see them perform the songs they did in Music Shows is S.Korea and in one of their mall shows in the Philippines last March. Although, SooHyun still gives me chills J You can’t just get enough of your bias! Every fangirl is guilty of that! Bingeul Bingeul (Round and Round), Mworago (What?!), End of the Road by Boyz to Men and the song which get them recognized in Korea, Man Man Ha Ni (Am I that Easy?) are the songs which they performed. But! They did hilarious acts as well! Making DongHo and Xander dance Secret’s Magic and doing the Shake dance was absolutely priceless! Kiseop and Eli’s Hip Dance was sexy and funny! Xander said Kiseop has miraculous hips and he ended up dancing the hip dance so awkwardly! SooHyun’s voice didn’t fail to impress everyone with a short rendition of “Because of You” J And how can I forget! Kevin’s Good Girl, Bad Girl dance cover is totally DAEBAK! And as much people say that U-Kiss is a gay group, which I don’t really believe in, they left the crowd wanting for MORE. And in defense to people who thinks that U-Kiss members are gays, I get your point and I actually see the “gayness” LOL! Xander and Kevin are such so feminine, but its’ not fair to label them gay idols which such poor criticisms. S.Korea is different to the Philippines, and gay in the Philippines is not same with Korea. Actually, such term doesn’t exist for the most of them because they strictly don’t accept gays. There’s a Korean celeb who admitted being gay, but Koreans kept shut about it. They still don’t want to talk about it. And c’mon, Korean guys call their briefs “panties” and some of them buy girl’s clothing regardless of what foreigners might say, because in their culture, it’s still NOT GAY. And yeah, SooHyun did intentionally kissed ZE:A’s maknae DongJun in one variety show, but I still think he’s a pervert rather than being gay. LOLs
RAIN FINALLY APPEARED! With the white tux he wore for his “Rainism” promotions and did “It’s Raining” and “Touch Ya” and there were fireworks! Is it? Or I mixed it all up? Then, he performed “Love song” and “Love Story” both in Korean which showed the very vulnerable side of him. He didn’t take his shirt off or lift it or rip it for Love Song, instead he showed his perfectly muscular arms wearing a sando. Gosh, it was so enough for us fangirls to keep on screaming for the love of God. He did “Rainism” and “I do” followed by “Hip Song” and his last song was “Instead of saying goodbye” which is a song I really LOVE! He took me back from his early debut years and showed us that he is still the same humble and hardworking performer he was when he started in the music industry as a singer. Don’t get me started on his abs! That’s when just about the fangirls and gays lost hope when he didn’t take his shirt off at Love Song, he lifted it at Hip Song and he did an amazing hip thrusts! The best hip thrusts I saw and no one had the talent and body that could ever do that or surpass that sexy dance! No idol can ever do that! And how much he sweats? It’s so perfect, I would want to take a shower from it! OMG fangirling outburst! His sweet rough husky voice still hadn’t changed a bit, it’s still awesome as before. And his eyes smile that made me fall for him is not to be left out! Next time he hold a concert in the Philippines, I will truly buy a MOSH PIT ticket and take a shower from his sweat!
LOL, I wrote a longer paragraph for U-Kiss’s stage compared to my husband’s. HAHAHA! Oh and you know what? I was at the VIP section and I am very proud that I have bought my ticket for its original price. I support my husband like that! Heehee and I wore the “It’s RAINing in Manila” shirt from Cloud Ph, which not many wore that day, it costed me 250php. I even bought his album “Back to the Basics” for 650php. Even if I see him so well from where I’m standing, I still bought a binoculars that costs a 100php, a glowstisk for also a 100php and a devil headband for also a 100php. LOVE is very very very expensive, LOLs.
There were some downs, one is the fans that looked at me like I was some kind of a weirdo when I sing along with U-Kiss and Rain. It was very hurtful, their stare. Was it wrong to know hangul even if you’re not a Filipino? That was so rude. Two is the fans who looked at me like I am some lost kid with my knee-length short, a pair of white rubber shoes which I borrowed from my younger sister, the devil headband, my glowstick and binoculars holding on to the plastic bag carrying my album and free poster with my green messenger bag and wearing my “It’s RAINing in Manila” shirt. It was very rude to stare and look away after “checking me out” for good seconds. I know it was very unfashionable, but hey, I was going to wear a wedding gown! LOL. Third was the banning of videocams. Fourth is the fans who pretend to know so much about K-Pop and ended up mispronouncing U-Kiss’s Eli’s name. and last but not least is Marvin Agustin who walked to the VIP section asking for his other “stub”. Yes ladies and gentlemen, he calls his ticket a stub. He walks pass me and clearly intented to nudge my shoulder, I yelled, “Excuse me!” and he didn’t look back, how rude was that? Just because he’s a celebrity who doesn’t stand that much taller than me, he can call a ticket a stub? Gosh, I have so many complaints.
No worries! Even if the concert is so much expensive to see Rain perform only 8 songs, it was so worth it! Hahaha, the irony! So why is he the best? Because my mom paid for my ticket and she gave it to me the moment I asked for it!
INTENSITY MUCH!
