Legend-ary
It's been 4 days since the concert, but I am still on a high. Rhea can attest to this as she has been hearing me play nothing but "Slow Dance" day in and day out. *Sigh*. I just can't help it.
When I first listened to the new album, I thought it was nothing less than musical genius. The lyrics, the beat, the soothing voice - it was just perfect. So you can just imagine my excitement when I stumbled across the ad and realized he was coming to town. But, nothing really prepared me for his live performance. I was blown away. He simply was AMAZING! *Omg*Omg*Omg*!
It was a fun crowd - very much involved and very enthusiastic. 90% probably were expats. Trish and I were part of the Asian minority. Regardless of race, ticket price and seating arrangement, everyone (especially the ladies) shared two common things that night - admiration for this great artist... and a lot of screaming. Hahaha.
He did songs from both albums with a few remixes. One lucky gal got the chance to get up onstage with him as he performed "Slow Dance". We got so frustrated with her, though, coz she really didn't know how to groove it. There he was, singing and dancing to her, and she was moving as stiff as a lamp post. He should have just picked us. Ya, ya, ya, we were totally envious!
Then he sang a new one, with an opening line which went "Where did my baby go?"... and to which the ladies responded (with hands raised) "Here! I'm right here!". Trish and I were no exception. We are, admittedly, converted groupies.
On the piano, he dazzled the crowd. With his voice, he hypnotized us further. But when he came out for the encore, wearing a sando, the ladies just lost it - Hotness personified! Truly.
It was an amazing night! My only regret is that I did not learn of the concert any sooner so we were not able to get better seats. If he does visit again (and I'm hoping he soon will), I promise that we will be sitting at the front row, center.
*Sigh*. I love him. I really love him. I really, really do. Ok, ok, you get the picture. Hehe.
John Legend, You Rock!!!
