I wasn't a Christina Aguilera fan until I saw her concert last Friday. She was too sexy, hot and stunning for words. The Back to Basics Tour in Manila was a blast!
Frankly, coming in to the concert, I had little expectations for it. In fact, watching her never crossed my mind until i got a VIP ticket to the concert. Well thinking about it, it's really rare that one can watch concerts of this magnitude and well, see bigger artists perform. So sayang naman if I didn't go. Hell, those were VIP tickets! I oughta go!
The concert started with xtina singing "Ain't no other man" from the same album. It was one of the two songs I know from that album. When she came out, the people in front started screeching and standing up. Some even stood on the stool to see her. And to think this is VIP section!? Well most of them were either kids or gay little boys. Anyway, the point is, her opening number was well-applauded. It was fantastic.
And then well a couple of other songs from the album were sung... zzz... at one point, I was thinking of getting Krispy Kremes first. But the latter portion of the concert made up for the unpopular songs sung at the first half. Of course, she sang Dirrty, Lady Marmalade, C'mon Over, Fighter, Beautiful and the hurt. Those were nice songs, to be fair - very upbeat and catchy.
The show ended with a blast. When the confetti poppers open, the drizzle took its cue and started falling. It was as if the rain was part of her whole show! Amazing! So while everyone was singing their hearts out (Fighter), it was drizzling and people were dancing. Ang saya!
I can say now that I can appreciate xtina better. Before I used to think that she was soo trashy, now I can say that it's really just an image that she's projecting. And to say that she comes next to Madonna when it comes to reinventing herself is quite veritable.
