KANYE CONCERT

I've got plenty of pix from ze Kanye concert. Look for it in the next Blog cuz it's too much for me to post together right now. But anyway, it was the shizniz! We were straight back in the middle so we had the best view. Like perfect movie seats. (We don't like to sit all the way at the top. More like a couple of rows down)

We got there about 20 minutes before the concert started. Walked around & checked out what was offered in the concession booths but didn't buy anything cuz we weren't hungry at the moment. Took our seats & a couple of minutes later the show started. Exactly at 7:30pm. Right on time. We were very impressed.

The lights focused on stage, a guy comes out with mic stand in hand, places it down firmly on the floor & started rapping. Everybody screamed cuz they thought it was Kanye but when we realized it was Lupe everybody continued to scream. His opening mic thing was soooo hard. He came out to the 300 soundtrack song which was majestic, grand & perfect cuz that's one of our favorite movies, so...

Man! He did bout 10+ songs. It was so good! We thought he was just gonna open & do like 2 or 3 songs but he did a whole entire set. He's a great performer.

During intermission we got hungry so Actor got a slice of pepperoni pizza & I a Philly cheesesteak. Oh my god! Might I add the best cheesesteak I've ever had in my life! Melted queso styled cheese on it. Not the sliced cheese. Makes a worlddd of difference.

Our friend K was running late & was parking as soon as Lupe went off stage. She called & I had to break it to her. She was soooo moped. It was horrible. But as soon as she came in N.E.R.D came on stage & rocked it. I like them but not as much as her. Think she wants to have Pharell's babies. Lol. They had some funky background graphics behind them which was dope. They got the crowd so hyped with their own set of songs too.

And let me tell you: when they did the song Spaz or whatever it's called.... Man! When I tell you that everyone was jumping up & down & every which way? Wow. And then Actor was like, " I think Chris Brown is on stage" and I looked up & saw a whole bunch of ppl around him & he was killing them moves! Oh man!!!! (side note: I'm a hugeee CB fan. Loves him. Like. For real. No not in a wanna have his baby groupie kinda love. More as a he's a great artist & dancer kinda love. Plus he's sexy so... *Sighs* But he's too young & I'm taken so... Anyways. Lol)

So he's on stage & I see him on the screen & I freaking screamed! Lol. Don't think I've ever screamed that loud for anybody. Haha. Whoo! *insert watermelon smile here*

It was messed up cuz as soon as I screamed it changed to Bow Wow's face, making it look like I was screaming for him. Which I wasn't. Lol. I actually said "Eww not you... Chris" & Actor cracked up! Hahaha!

*Insert intermission here*

Rhianna was up next. I loved her! Was actually most excited to see her & Kanye. She came out and kilt it. Yes kilt. She had on this black & pink futuristic outfit that was banging. The choreography was dope & they even had glow sticks in the routine at certain points. It was refreshing & exhilerating at the same time.

Some ppl behind me were booing when everyone was cheering & it annoyed the shat out of me. Ugh! Don't freaking come to a concert & boo! Take your ass home then. More elbow room for me.

But anyways, I was pleasantly surprised when she did "Unfaithful" cuz it's been a while & I love love love that song! She ended the set with "Umbrella" of course & it was a great show except for the fact that I was hoping Chris Brown would come up & do the remix with her but he didn't. Boo.

I thoroughly enjoyed her performance though. I didn't know it but I'm a huge Rhianna fan.

*Another and the longest intermission* Everyone screamed in waves as Quincy Jones, Mary J., Chris Brown & other celebs walked through the stadium to get to the VIP section to watch Kanye perform.

A while later... Lights out; pitch black. Music up. Stage lights back on & focused. And it's on!
He had this whole space ship theme where it had crashed & now he's in the middle of the universe trying to find his way back home. It was the most creative concept I've ever seen. Loved it!

The stage was set up like the interior of the spaceship. Lights came on & focused on him lying on the floor & rapping "Wake up Mr. West Mr. West..." It was the most indescribable, grand, entrancing intro ever!

The rest of his show was equally as hot. The lighting & stage set up was crazy! So many different colors & set up galores. A visual orgasm if you will.

He did "Golddigger" where there was this video chick on the screen in gold blinking in & out like the signal was bad. (Was supposed to be Jane, his spaceship companion/computer sidekick.) She was visually enticing him since he's been lost so long & hadn't had some, umm, pleasure in a while. So she said "I can help you with that" and came on the screen. Once again, the creativity was out of there.

He had great harmonies for "Good Life" and "Stronger" was just... Majestic. He also did the mama song which made me a lil sad & everyone had lighters & cell phones out in the air.

Kanye did so many songs I actually lost count. Lol. I know he definitely did every single & even some album tracks. Had to be at least 20+ songs. Then he came back. Twice! It was perfect! When he went off the 1st time everyone was chanting "Kanye! Kanye! Kanye!" and he came back out. Then he got all of us the 2nd time cuz everybody thought he was gone & was thrilled to hear him just one more time.

Hands down has to be the best concert I've EVER been to. It was also Actor's 1st concert and he freaking saw the greatest show to date! Lol. How cool is that?!
