The very controversial Monster Ball concert still pushed through despite protests.  I am one of those who went to watch the spectacular production that Lady Gaga and the crew has prepared.  IT DID NOT DISSAPOINT! 

The SM Mall of Asia Arena used for the first time to house the Lady Gaga Monster Ball concert.

I wasn’t prepared for the concert coz I decided to go watch just the day itself. Good thing I have some extra clothes by my car. The best of how I can look for a concert lol. And the bandage wrapped around my arm to hide that nasty bruise I just got. I hope it rather looks edgy and mysterious. Like DJ Mike was so eager to find out what’s wrapped inside the band.

Lady Gaga was quite emotional for the duration of the concert.  After singing the first few parts of the controversial “Judas”, the crowd cheered and danced and she said “Oh, you like this song huh…”  The song “Judas” is one of the songs people are protesting to saying it’s blasphemous etc. But Gaga explained that this song is just a metaphor of loving someone despite them betraying you.  And hasn’t this really happened to some of us in real life? 

There were threats from protesters saying they would sue Gaga if there were any acts of indecency and any form of actions that are unnaccpetable to the Christian community.

I was bracing myself the entire night for something weirder than life GAGA acts but hey – I’m not worried about GAGA, I’m more worried about other pressing matters our country is facing and the criminals on loose and not to mention, the very corrupt government.

I think all these protests just gained Gaga more noise, more spotlight to showcase her “REAL SELF” and she says (here we go, Lady Gaga Quotes from Monster Ball tour Manila 2012)

“Tonight is not about making a statement. Tonight is us all coming together because we believe we were all born this way.”

“Manila are you having fun? If you’re not. I don’t give a f*ck”

“Tonight is all about togetherness. In our differences, we are all the same.”

“For those of you who aren’t free. Take this opportunity to free yourself.”

“My lifestyle is like one whole performance of liberation, for those of you who aren’t free. Take this opportunity to free yourself.”

“Its the fcking goddamn truth that people in the world need to be free and be proud of who they are.”

“You guys taught me to never give up on myself.”

“The difference between rebels and non-conformists is that Non-conformists don’t take action & they pissed off when things don’t go their way-Lady Gaga 

and Lady Gaga’s full speech at the Monster Ball tour Manila 2012

“I’m not an alien, I’m not a woman, I’m not a man, and I’m not a creature of your government, Manila.  I’m all your dreams and I’m all your potential.  Let me be all your insecurities and your fears. I’m your future, I’m everything that makes you sad and angry.  I’m you, little monsters.  Tonight’s not a statement, tonight’s us coming together because we believe we were all born this way.  Some people say I stand for things that are bad.  The truth is, I want the best for every single one of you.  My life is like one whole performance of LIBERATION.”

“All of those kids all around the world who take their lives when they’re so young because they feel bullied, or they’re afraid because they’re gay and don’t want to tell anybody.  Don’t you think that some of us should f*cking stand up for them and speak the godd*mn truth? It’s true! It’s not about the music, it’s not aobut my clothes, it’s not about having hit records.  It’s the f*cking godd*mn truth that people in the world need to be free and be proud of who they are.”

At the end of the night, Lady Gaga said “It’s all about the truth.”

“Its the fcking goddamn truth that people in the world need to be free and be proud of who they are.”

Kylie is the bomb!  I was so starstruck that even if we were seated a bit away from the stage, I still had the goosebumps.

She is a perfect doll.  Her skin was so perfect, really nice legs, flawless skin and she doesn’t seem to age.  I wonder what her secret is?

Yet, despite this… don’t you know that she’s only 5 feet tall like me? I was like WOW! How did that happen?  Her legs look so tall.

So guys, now you know… there’s actually a chance for us shawtys here in the world!  I am inspired to preserve my youth like how she does… I will be on “obsessed mode” with anti-aging products and moisturizers.  I would also dedicate my time to gym, exercise and my love – Pole dancing!

I am simply amazed.

I tweeted this photo while waiting for Kylie.  I was with Mica and I had to brave the heavy rains and the slight flood in my area!  I was just glad I arrived safe and early.  Thank you to Mellow 94.7 The Wake Up Show for the tickets!

The concert was phenomenal.  I can simply say – the best concert I’ve ever been so far!  The whole production, costumes, choreography and the half-nekid men dancing around were simply fun!  Not to mention, Kylie’s voice was awesome!!! She sang live – and you couldn’t hear her gasping for breath or anything like that..

She knows how to sing and dance! She’s a performer.

She just moves with much grace, even when she’s simply walking!

I love her to bits and I wanted to marry her after the concert lol

Tickets were expensive but they were really worth it.  They also started on time (not too late around 8:30-ish).  Everything was so organized.  2 thumbs up for the organizers.

Back to the 80s.

From the start of the show, she was singing new songs.  I didn’t expect her to sing any oldies anymore.

Then, she stopped in the middle of the song, and talked gently saying she made her research and looked for possible song requests.

I don’t think she even knows that we here in the Philippines followed much of her music even since then – back in the 80s!  But THANK YOU KYLIE! you are adorable and you are my idol!

Just for us Filipinos, just for that night in Manila – she sang two songs from long ago – “Especially for you” and “Locomotion”

<3

I cried when she started singing Especially for you… I grew up loving that song and I was just so happy that she gave that to us!

She wasn’t supposed to sing this, and she usually doesn’t – and so she said “We are making history here Manila! I havent sang this song live for a while now”.

Mica was able to get a video of this moment.

It was a very special moment with Kylie that no one can take from us.

I left my camera coz I was in a rush and I didn’t want to be late!  And so I’m grabbing photos from Mica.

Anyway, watch out for the full video of the interview as we will post it ASAP.  If you will miss the concert of Timbaland feat Jojo and Justin Timberlake tonight, you can still catch Jojo live again on May 15, 2008 for the Then and Now Massive Music Festival 2010!  This will be on SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

Ticket details are P4400, P2860, P1650, P770.

Tickets are now available at all TicketNet and TicketWorld Outlets.

Singing with Jojo will be SWV, Frankie J, PM Dawn, Diana King, Baby Bash and more surprise superstars!  It’s MASSIVE!
