David Archuleta in Malaysia! Stadium Negera 26 July 2011


We reached Stadium Merdeka at approximately 630p.m. Thought it will be jam if park near the stadium, manatau when climbing the hill, no cars, some more there are plenty of parking. Big sigh and ish!! After braving the hill, we collect our tickets, bought Archie's Asian Tour CD + DVD and we still have to wait for another 2 hours for the concert to begin. Munching our dinner alongside the longkang plus we're feeding mosquitoes while we enjoying the not so tasty burger.

Roughly about 745pm, we make our way into the stadium. The venue was ok ok, first time masuk Stadium Negara and the air conditioning was just nice but the stone seats make my ass ache and  numb. The concert was supposed to start at 8.00pm. But they delayed it till 815pm where a local artist name Hao Ren (he is in for Jolin's concert too, must be seeking publicity) kick-off the concert with his song name Wu Gong (lip-syncing) and dances where not many was not-so-interested. This opening was the worst so far. To me I don't know why need such performance as an opening. A word to describe, LAME!!. Then comes the band crews standby on stage where we need wait for another 20 more mins I guess only then come lil-David hopping out and sing Stomping the Roses as his opening. On his second song, The Other Side of Down, our tickets were actually FREE SEATING but the organizer shoved us to the RM230 seats. I guess is to make the vanue look nicer and more audiences. So all the kiasu and kiasi people start pushing for their way to get a better seats. Lucky enough I din buy the RM230 tickets. Hem Hem!! and we got this new seats which are really seats with cushion. Nice one for us.

So far this is the best concert I ever attended because the organizer (Sony Music Malaysia) they permitted compact camera into the venue. Meaning we can record and snaps pictures. This is what we call real concert as other organizers like Galaxy (I hate the most) they are stupid. Control these control that. Hello, we pay for it. Kudos to Sony Music Malaysia for the cool concert and their generosity (change of seats).

Here are the songs that David sang:
It was great, with some surprises in bold:
  1. Stomping the Roses
  2. The Other Side of Down
  3. A Little Too Not Over You
  4. Love Don’t Hate
  5. Something ‘Bout Love
  6. Everybody Wants to Rule the World
  7. Elevator
  8. A Thousand Miles
  9. My Kind of Perfect
  10. Falling Stars
  11. Touch My Hand
  12. Stand By Me
  13. Everything and More
  14. Zero Gravity
Encore:  Heaven, Crazy, Crush
After singing Crush, he waved goodbye to his fans and he went backstage. The his crew was playing the cool ending music and about 5 mins later, David comes back to the stage waved again and then he played drums with one hand when he came back on the stage at the end!

What I like about the concert:
1) David was indeed a no joke when he is singing. Superb voice.
2) He din even need backup singers as he sings all the way in about 1 hour.
3) The organizer was not so strict so the audience are really enjoying it.
4) The change of seats to a better one.
5) David's charms (sound so gay hahahaha)

What I don't like the concert:
1) Way to long for us to wait for the concert to start
2) No drinks allowed.
3) The white screen is always interrupted with the spotlights shooting from the stage.
4) A very lame opening by Hao Ren
5) The concert is too short

Overall, the concert was good. So no complaint!!
