Yippeee! I got to see Paramore last night. Did you?
I arrived at Bukit Jalil Stadium slightly after 8.30pm due to the bad traffic and problem in finding parking space. It figures, Bukit Jalil, what should I expect? By then, I was texting a friend (Zaid) who was already at the concert where he's the one that kept informing me if it's started or what song we're at. By the time I arrived, it was already the second song. Damn.
Walked super fast to the Rockzone area and when I got in, the third song is already commencing. Yup, Rockzone is full so, I went to the rails at the back and stood on them. I needed the support of the rails coz I am a little short, you see. LOL! And I never left the spot. Saw Zaid and Tian Chad in the crowd but I loved my spot. I am taller than anyone else. Plus it's so much more windier than being caught up in between sweaty bodies at the front of the stage.
Love Hayley's red hair!
I didn't make it in time to hear Paramore's opening act - Y2K playing their songs. But then there was no time for all that. The performance was non-stop with songs such as That's What You Get, Careful, Never Let It Go, When It Rains and others except for a bit of a glitch with the microphone when Hayley sang Misguided Ghosts but the fans were awesome because they helped finish the song for her. I can see her clearly but my sick camera is not capturing sharp images well. *Sad*
They performed a lot of music from their album Brand New Eyes and Riot! with a little of the first album too. I was screaming at the top of my lungs - along with other 15,000 fans - when they played Decode. Oh yes, me loves this song from Twilight. I think that's the reason I lost my voice last night.I totally love the time when she sang The Only Exception in acoustic and she had everyone to light up their lighters, glow stick and lit cellphone screens and wave it in the air. That was the most beautiful thing ever!
Hayley managed to get the crowd to sing the chorus of Brick by Boring Brick before finishing the night with Misery Business. Yup, the ending was fabulous too when Hayley brought a fan on stage. Damn. That's when I wished I was at the front of stage amongst those sweaty crowd, as long as I can sing next to Hayley. The fan who got to sing on stage (and take photo WITH Hayley) is a one lucky dude! *Envy* Sadly he didn't start the second verse well. Maybe he's too nervous. And Y2K was also on stage to be the "backup dancers" and everyone was in for a hell of a finish.
Confetti everywhere
Get together for a bow
"I'm the queen of the world!"
It was a super awesome concert!
Oh, and of all the concerts I been to, I had to bump into my married ex-bf at a concert I went by myself. LOL! It was funny though at the same time it's nice to see a familiar face. So if you see part of his face in the video, ignore that. But all is fine (I hope!) even though B-bunz found out. Teehee!
