GAGA-LICIOUS

An impromptu decision. An unsure decision. But in the end, i made the decision. I skipped a lesson just to watch Lady GaGa 'LIVE' in Singapore. Brought the tix on Monday for the Wednesday concert. Regret the decision? Not really. Disappointed? Just a little...



Wonder Twins brought the question up over MSN on Monday night as they know i do like Lady GaGa's music and even bought her CD in HMV. Its more like a love at first... erm... hearing? I like dance music and hers are siimply catchy. Hence, when the proposal was brought up, i was tempted. But i had a lessons on WED though... after some persuation, i decided to go for the concert over the lessons... Bad Wee Liang...

On that day, we grab a bite over at Great World City basement - Old Chang Kee's 'I Love Singapore' Curry Puff each & we shared 3 Cinnamon bread. I assure you, i can make much better Cinnamon bread (the flavours) than the place there. Its not up to standard yet... not up to the then famous Saint Cinnamon (the one famous in the late 90s in bishan J8). Anyway, we ate the food while queuing up for the entrance.

The crowd was insane. As the venue was at Fort Canning, the crowd queue up to the Carpark far away from the entrance, up the hill. No proper crowd control, no proper instructions, no proper barricades. The place was a mess. To think that nothing could probably be worse than that, i was wrong. Everything other than Lady GaGa's performance was disappointing.

The sound system was awful (no surround sound), The opening act was awful & draggy (poor song choice and boring beat box/DJ-ing), The time delay was tiring (delayed for at least 1.2Hr), The stage was lousy (No big TV screen, just a simple stage)... Poor air ventilation (lack of breath... those who know me should know i hate BIG crowds)...

Though her performance was great... I have to admit that i was a little too tired to fully enjoy it... Oh ya... 10k people in Singapore went there. Imagine how squeezy it can be... i was sandwiched between 2 females... hence i can't move much, have to use the free 'fan' to block my breath from reaching the lady in front. If not, kana charge sexual harrasment then i jia lat liao.

She did pretty good singing live... was pretty amazed as usually for someone who sing dance music, they can simply edit and add effects to their voice... but when she sing 'Brown Eyes' & soothing version of 'Pokerface', she was great.... =D Man, this girl can really SING~! Will want to go for more these type of show. provided if $$ permits...

One thing i noticed, there are really alot of gay boys around... the one that caught our attention must definitely be the one who are topless wearing a ribbon & a tie... can you imagine that...? Ok, at least he do have the body to show off... LOL

After that, we had a rest at Xing Wang HK cafe. Never had i thought that the first place i go to ION is a cafe. But the service and food are nice... will definitely go again... =D Great company... Will uploads some pics in facebook soon....
