A day to remember for me. One of the best concert that I ever been to! Im a big fan of Kylie Minogue ever since I was in high school. As soon as I heard the announcement that Kylie will be having a concert here in Manila, I shouted immediately in facebook where my gay friends at so we can watch this concert. Sadly most of my friends are now residing abroad. So in short, me myself and I, for the concert and I don't care, its Kylie's first time here and just because I don't have a companion to watch this show doesn't mean I will not watch it! So there, when the ticket released, I immediately reserved one for myself and the following day I went to Araneta Center to get my reserved ticket.
Fastforward: July 5! It's raining cats and dogs and I only got 2 hours sleep but who cares! I was on Gateway as early as 4:30PM (oh yeah Im not shy to admit, IM SUPER EXCITED!!!) and gate will open at 6:30PM. Show probably started around 8:45PM. And let the great show begins! Below is the set list(no so sure if its complete) but since Kylie is so in the crowd she said let's make history! She sang Locomotion and Especially for you! She mentioned that she never sang these songs to her Aphrodite tour so how great was that Manila?! (I remember Lady Gaga's concert here, she sang also a song that she said it's her first time to sing in tour). Too bad she didn't sing I should be so lucky. I sing along to that song growing up! :D
1."The Carnival of the Animals" (Instrumental Introduction)
2."Aphrodite"
3."The One"
4."Wow"
5."Illusion"
6."I Believe in You"
7."Cupid Boy"
8."Spinning Around"
9."Get Outta My Way"
10."What Do I Have to Do?"
11."Everything Is Beautiful"
12."Slow"
13."Confide in Me"
14."Can't Get You Out of My Head" (Contains elements of "Uprising")
15."In My Arms"
16."Looking for an Angel"
17."Closer"
18."There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)"
19."Love at First Sight" (contains elements of "Can't Beat The Feeling")
20."If You Don't Love Me"
21."Better the Devil You Know"
22."Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love)"
Encore
23."On a Night Like This" (Contains elements of "Heaven")
24."All the Lovers"
From the beginning until the end of the show I was on my feet dancing, screaming and clapping! Kylie have fabulous outfits, fab male dancers and amazing props! She said "I can't believe it's my first time here. How wrong is that? Naughty! Naughty!" Yes naughty naughty Kylie! You should frequently add Philippines on your concert tour!
Ah I almost forgot, the stage was scaled down. As you know Kylie's stage for this Aphrodite tour cost almost $25M but this stage was scaled down in Araneta because our venue is small. No fountain can be found. I was expecting the fountain especially on the last song All the lovers.
Sorry folks, I didn't take any pictures during the concert. This is the first concert that I never took a picture nor a video and I can say it feels great! Im totally focus on the show!
This concert is the best concert I ever been to! After the show I somehow kinda miss The Corrs since the happiness that I feel during Kylie's concert was the same happiness that I feel when I watched The Corrs almost 10 years ago?!
KYLIE MINOGUE = APHRODITE : EPIC!!!!
