contented- i have watched michael bolton performed live

aahhhh-chhhooooooo....and ahhhh-choooo again.

no i dun have the flu bug. i just did not get enough sleep. slept at 2a.m. and woke up at 9a.m.

blame michael bolton for that. and i still can't believe that i have actually watched michael bolton perform live in kl. woohoooo!!!

on facebook, i posted- i don't have to see another male artist's performance anymore. i have watched michael bolton. contented.

truly, that is how i feel. his voice is still the same and as david foster said, 'it is one of my favourite voices ever ever ever.' can't agree more.

ok before i go to more of david foster and michael bolton, let me just recap how my day was before that concert.

went down to sunway pyramid for a bit of window shopping and dinner before the concert. it is one of the closest malls to get to bukit jalil, hence the choice. and i have not visited sunway pyramid like for ages.

got pikkien to come out to join us.

our dinner was at italienies.

penne bolognese.

stuffed mushroom. i like this.

ham and mushroom pizza.

but before pikkien came i had a bit of snack first.
ham, egg and cheese pancake. this is just like the thin apam you get in the market filled with peanuts and corn. they just change the filling and the price too of course.

sunway pyramid was bustling with young crowd. the kids will have everything they need here. i guess its location close to sunway college makes it a favourite place to hang-out for these college kids.

the deepavali decoration at the ground floor. oh, the area was so fragrant with the smell of flowers. totally refreshing. yes they use real flowers.

see all those chrysanthemums there.

luckily it did not rain that night althought it did at around 5. phew. i thought i was going to have a wet walk from the car park to the indoor stadium.

the queue into the hall was long and i think they opened the gate quite late.
yes, the cheapest ticket and i was on the upper tier. but the hall itself was not such a huge venue. although i was there on the balcony, i still felt close to the main stage and the concert was a very cosy affair.

all those front seats were taken by MAS enrich loyalty vips and the singers actually got down the stage to mingle with the delighted crowd too except charice. david foster even gave the mic to two guests so they could show everyone their voices and boy, were they good enough for the mic.

everyone who attended there definitely appreciated music and went there with the sole purpose of being entertained with good music. we were not disappointed. the concert started at 8.30p.m. and ended at 11.15p.m.

i think david foster was impressed too because the crowd could sing to all songs performed. he did mention that our knowledge of english made his task easier unlike his experience in tokyo. he brought his fiancee along too and she was a gorgeous tall blond who was wearing farah khan's design that night. they will be married in 3 weeks time. farah khan was there too in the first row i think and francis yeoh as well. david foster introduced someone who flew down all the way from los angeles but i did not get his name.

this is the stage from where i sat. luckily his position at the piano faced us and we could see what went on around the stage too, like the artist having their hair arranged before coming on stage.

charice was the first to come and she had quite a few of filipino fans in the crowd. she covered power of love by celine dion, but i would have preferred her to sing all by myself. then it was russell watson, an english tenor followed by ashanti. i was yawning in ashanti's segment because i did not know the songs in her set until she sang a medley of songs from the movie, the bodyguard. phew. then it was phillip bailey from the group earth, wind and fire and last but not least, my favourite in the list, michael bolton.

boy was i mesmerised and i was wishing that i could be transformed right in front of the stage and under the illusion that he was only singing to me alone. wakakaka....

he has the best songs for all moods of love.

i did not bring my camera so there are no photos. did some video recording till my handphone's battery went flat. will load the videos tomorrow back at work where the internet connection is faster.

i leave you with michael bolton's video of how am i supposed to live without you. i call this the total break-up song. he still looks so good despite his age eh. i am really contented....but if he is going to do a world tour when he has any new releases, do tell me about it.
