I was updating my blog around 5pm yesterday when the phone rung. It was a friend informing me that they’re heading to Beyoncè’s concert in the Manila suburb of Taguig, and asking if I was interested to go. I ain’t really a big fan of Beyoncè but I love all of her songs, she’s beautiful and bootylicious, she has an amazing talent, and her next visit to Manila might take few more years or never again. So I thought, why miss that rare opportunity to catch her rocking with her songs live? Besides, the last bonding session I had with my friend was already ages ago, so I guess it was a good time to renew the friendship. Off we go, the trip to The Fort went on like a leg in The Amazing Race. Get tickets from SM City North EDSA, take a detour at the MRT, meet some friends along the way, and take a cab to the Bonifacio Global City. But due to heavy traffic, the last part didn’t go through as planned. Instead, we threw ourselves onto a posh motorcycle ride (complete with helmets on) and sneaked through the notorious pile of cars on the road. Though we came a minute late for the opening part, the decision to take that villainous ride was such a big help.
We were running and running all over the place when we heard Crazy in Love playing on air and finally joined the big crowd who were all screaming at the sight of Beyoncè. It is my first time to watch a concert with this huge amount of audience, and too bad we got the cheapest ticket and see the superstar only in silhouette scale. The big screen at the back was a total mess. It was placed against the bright lights of the city and greatly spoiled the consolation of being in the last row. But Beyoncè’s performances were both stunning and dynamic. The ballet performance, the Chicago-like jailhouse confessions skit, the steaming hot dancers, the musicians and the Suga Mama, among others, paid off as well. Overall, The Beyoncè Experience was a fantastic show, and launching 70,000 spectators in one night was quite an achievement. Beyoncè should consider coming back to Manila in her next world tour.
