Fan Account: SHINee World Concert in Singapore

[blackandwhite]

I will not be remembering every little detail about the concert but I will try to summarise the best I can. (it has, after all, been 2 days since the concert and what makes you think I can remember all the details when I was all @_@ after the concert.)
First thing that I really feel like shouting out, "I FINALLY WENT TO A SHINEE CONCERT AND FYEAH I REALLY LOVE IT. ;~;"

Despite the fact that I met horrible people along the way, I really enjoyed myself during the concert. I got the best view (imho), right in front of the exit (at which they exited the stage) and I was only one and a half arm length away from them every time they exit. The fan service (despite it not being better than Super Junior’s) was great and I really love it.

Song list is according to someone’s videos in Youtube and I am not really sure if that is the correct order but it is most probably correct. And I re-watched some of the videos to refresh my memories!

♫The SHINee World
Honestly though, I almost cried when the music started playing and it is like… a super high tension song. And all I could think of at this point of time was “Omg I am actually at a SHINee concert,” and to me, it is really like a dream come true.

♫Senorita
I don’t really love this song but the concert made the song much better for me. The dance was so hot and everyone started screaming whenever SHINee did the hips-wave thing (whatever it is called) and it was pretty hilarious how the reaction was immediate. SHINee what are you doing to my brain?

♫Get Down
I really don’t like songs like this and this is probably the only time I will ever like this song. See what live performances do to my brain? They make me go crazy and accept songs I couldn’t accept before.

♫A.MI.GO
Everyone was going “COLD ICE BABY” when the song started. Being in front of them almost meant that we get to see the staff helping SHINee put on those harnesses and it was pretty cool how they were so fast. Jonghyun flew up and the rest of the members were shaking their heads as if they were having spasms was funny. Heh.
OH AND KEY PUT HIS ARMS AROUND JONGHYUN’S SHOULDERS AND IT WAS SO CUTE.

♫Juliette
Thanks to Angshuang and Pamela, I was all hyped when they started playing this song. And everyone was going, “Juliette Ho~” and I was giggling like a crazy girl I am and smiling to myself. And then Minho did that blowing on his hand dance move and all I could think of was “O”.Jung.Ban.Hap. (missing the old tvxq now)

♫Hello
This song sure brings back pretty bad memories for Jonghyun unless the Sekyung thing was a lie. Nothing exceptionally special about this performance except for the shadow thing which I thought was very cool; and how they were in tune with the shadow.

Short MC
Key spoke in English and I was all (‘: (I am sorry that I have to add an emoticon here to express my feelings but that is the only way I can express it). And everyone introduced themselves, followed by screams from the audience. The screams were so loud I swear that if the whole concert hall is made of glass, the glass will shatter. Key introduced the next song, Your Name, in English and then the music started…

♫Your Name
I remember this song as the one that had this gigantic frame moving up and down as they move up and down and then I started crying. I didn’t know what came over me and the next thing I know, there were tears flowing down my cheeks. The frame then broke and there were angel wings behind them.

♫Stand by me
THIS WAS IS JUST PERFECT. Okay I am a sucker for this song even though I don’t like the show –cough boys over flowers cough- that this song was the theme song for. They did the “whaooo~ stand by me” action and then it was all silence for the 2^nd time and it was so funny. The audience were supposed to be singing that part!! HAHAHAHA. I swear it was in this video when Key waved to us!! And more Jongkey moments of course!

♫Love Still Goes On
I think it is amazing how I know some of the lyrics to this song despite not listening to it often.

♫Taemin’s Solo (apparently it is called Romeo + Juliet)
I don’t particularly like this song but the dance was amazing even though his costume could have been burned. It was from the Juliette era and I remember it well because I dislike their costumes and their concept.

♫Jonghyun’s Solo (a Wheesung song apparently!!)
Jonghyun’s note is amazing but other than that, I don’t really remember anything about this song. Well… it is not my type of genre I guess? Why so? I am not too sure about that either.

♫Minho’s Solo (OMG by USHER)
The whole performance is very TVXQ incorporated with TVXQ dance moves and TVXQ actions and it just reminds me everything about TVXQ. Especially when he ripped his shirt and pull it down. All fangirls were going “omg so hot. /nosebleeds” but I am going “omg I miss TVXQ”. Wrong group, wrong time but it is my brain and I can’t help it if it thinks like that.

♫Key’s Solo feat. Taemin as a girl (My First Kiss by someone I don’t know and don’t care about)
This song was all crazily hyped because of Taemin dressing up as a girl and I find it so hilarious. Taemin was doing a catwalk down the aisle and going “look I am so prettay~” okay jokes aside, this song was awesome. Even though I don’t know the singer and I don’t know this song, I think this song is pretty awesome (and now sziyi will just say I am biased again!!).

♫A-YO
In other words, the song that made me fall head over heels with the 2 perfections known as Choi Minho and Lee Jinki. I died when Minho pointed at us and Onew doing that peace sign at us right after Minho pointed at us. Can I just marry them already? Okay that was an overstatement but still… Anyway I love this song and doing the dance together with them (just the hand actions!) was pretty fun. I got to enjoy something like that even without my JE concerts. And from our place, we can actually see Taemin running out after changing from his girly costume from the Pen B exit/entrance. It was pretty fun to witness the entire thing.

♫ROMANTIC
Did I mention how much I love this song? Not to mention hearing it live for the first time? This is all you need to know how I felt when I listen to this song.

♫Obsession
I don’t really remember this song clearly. Except the fact that I was actually slanted sideways while trying to see Key (who is right at the other end of Pen B) and people were pushing me against the stupid barrier and I was practically dying.

♫Graze
This is also one of my favourite songs in their first album. We can actually see staff standby with the chairs, ready to bring them up the stage for the boys to dance with, nearing the end of Obsession and I admit, I thought it was for Love Like Oxygen. It was pretty cool I love the choreography for this song. Admittedly, I was staring at Key most of the time but…

♫Replay
First thing that hit me, “THIS IS NOT THE REMIX VERSION!!!!” My favourite song since they debut. Nothing can beat this song though admittedly, maybe some of their other songs are nicer but this is actually still my favourite song. People might say that it is not as nice as Jojo, not their nicest song, but who cares? I love it and it is all that matters. This was the song when they debut and this song will stay with them forever. Can you imagine how happy I was when I heard the music?

♫Love Like Oxygen
It was funny to see this song when they are wearing colourful costumes. I am so used to them wearing black and white when performing this song (ages ago) that it seems funny to me now. And the highlight for me is always the part when they flip their jackets but only Jonghyun had a jacket to flip this time. Regardless, this song is amazing (though not as amazing as Replay).

♫Quasimodo
I was bored during the video, honestly. It just shows they crying, and more crying and the video was long and blam! The music played and they started singing. I love this song though. Someone needs to put Key in an angle in which I can at least not try so hard to see him. Why does he have to stand so near to the end and make life difficult for me? /sad face But the white clothes are pretty so it is a plus point!

♫Life
I almost cried during this song. I think they should know not to put 2 sad ballads together. It will just make me feel like crying and feeling all guilty for leaving fandom. This is actually my favourite song from the second album and I actually cried while listening to the studio version.

♫Onew’s Solo (Nessun Dorma)
Not a fan of operas and I cannot appreciate them. Onew’s voice did sound nice though. I shall take this chance to say that none of the solos actually captivated me. Not even Key’s made me go, “OMG THIS IS AWESOME!” The green laser thing was pretty amazing though! The effect is very pretty.

♫I-think-this-is-a-song-for-kids…?
I don’t know the title of this song due to the fact that I am not a Korean and this is not a SHINee song. It just shows pretty SHINee angels appearing and flying to this kid who fell on the ground and Onew appearing with angel wings to hug this boy and they disappeared through the Pen B exit. And they sang of course!

♫Ring Ding Dong
I got to admit that this song really sounds better live than the studio version. Maybe it is due to the fact that the studio version just pisses me off due to repeated plays (OVERRATED!) but the live was really good. You can actually hear fans screaming to “LING DING DONG LING DING DONG LING DIGIDING DIGIDING DIGIDING DING DING” and I would that pretty hilarious because people behind me were screaming that. And JONGHYUN’S SHOES WERE VERY PRETTY: black with hot pink.

♫Up&Down
Haha this was when everyone’s tension when up the roof. It could have broke through the roof for all I know. The boys were running through the aisle and I think this was the point where Jonghyun looked at us? I remembered he looked at us but did not wave or do anything. Not sure if it is during this song.

♫Ready or Not
And everyone’s tension went higher. The boys just went crazy on stage and began jumping and running around. I still think I am amazing for knowing lyrics to songs I have only heard a few times.

♫Lucifer
It is actually the weirdest song to end a concert with. But this song was amazing except that the remix version still sounds funny to me. I was trying to hold back my laughter when they go “we are the shinee shinee shinee shinee”. It is funny no matter how many times I listened to it. The claws were pretty cool and the laser from the claws (!!); and how they actually did the ending pose with the claws and not their fingers. I was actually going “omg are you serious??!” when the next thing they showed on the screen was “Thank you for coming”. 

ENCORE

♫Jojo
I was actually waiting for the Jongho kiss but Minho only ruffled Jonghyun’s hair. On another note, I WAS WEARING THE SAME SHIRT WITH SHINEE. I was so happy when I saw that they were not wearing their own tees. Okay you know that I am weird already. It was a little bit of fashion disaster though. Who would match white pants with white shoes?! And Jonghyun actually ripped his sleeves away.

♫Bodyguard
The only thing I remembered was the boys throwing all the balls at us and I didn’t manage to catch any since the angle is horrible. Key actually kissed the balls before throwing and people were scrambling to get it. I wanted to keep one for souvenir but… regardless; it was actually pretty funny to watch. And they started splashing, pouring water over one another and Taemin actually attempted to spit water at us but we gave the very shock look and he splashed water from his bottle on us. I didn’t get the water though! HAHAHA. Taemin actually spitted the water at Jonghyun and it was pretty hilarious. Sorry Jonghyun. And all the interactions between them were very very cute.

Short Talk
I totally didn’t understand what Jonghyun was talking about and the translator actually translated it to be something like they played with water because it is a very hot day. I was thinking that I have to play with water everyday then! Jonghyun why are you like that!

♫One
Because I know it is going to be the last song… I actually almost cried (yet again). I was on an emotional rollercoaster ride throughout the whole concert.

After which, was their thank you to everyone who went to the concert and they actually picked up a couple of hats to wear and “HAPPY KEY’S DAY” banners. Taemin was such a brat. He was going “Everyone did you enjoy yourself today?” in Korean and everyone was going “YESSSSSSSS” or “DAEEEEEEEEEEEE (which means yes in Korean)” and then he said, “Do you even understand what I was saying?” Taemin why are you like that!!!

And everyone actually sang Key a happy birthday song, cued from Jonghyun. Love for Jonghyun went up a little again. Jonghyun actually said “HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEY I LOVE YOU”, and totally covered Key with pink party string spray. After that, the cue for Key’s random dance party starts (thanks to Jonghyun~)!


Before the concert, I was actually really irritated by this girl who totally spoilt my mood for the concert. She is such a bitch and she is only sec 2. And here goes the story:
She asked my cousin if my cousin wants to queue with her for SWC and my cousin said okay. I requested that she do me a favour by getting someone to stand in for my friend (Sziyi) because she needs to work. She blatantly refuse to help and give stupid excuses just to get out of helping us. I was fine with that. So on the day itself when we queue (at the official queue), I was standing quite in front with Sziyi, my cousin and another friend. She told us that she wants to cut into our queue. I told her a flat no and if she wants to, she can go and talk to the security guards. When we (sziyi and I) went off for lunch, she actually cut into our queue because my cousin don't know how to say no. SEE WHAT A BITCH SHE IS? I hate her and stupid fangirls like that just ruin my mood. She is such a bitch and to think someone like that exist...

During the concert, I was actually squashed between the barrier and the hoard of fangirls trying to squeeze to the front and there were lots of pushing. I was molested and squashed into a very awkward position and slanted side ways and trying to move away, etc. You get the drift.

But I never regretted getting mosh tickets despite the unhappiness I faced before and during the concert. The peace sign and smile from Onew, the fact that Minho noticed us, The fact the Taemin actually noticed that we were smiling at his dorkiness, the fact that Key waved at us, Jonghyun smiled at us, it was all worth it. If only I can turn back the clock, I would get the arena tickets and see this SHINee world in a whole new level.

Another reason why I totally enjoyed the concert, my soulmate was with me. Doing crazy things like buying the shirt, screaming like crazy fans we are, waiting till the crew actually chase us out of the concert hall, screaming happy birthday to key at the top of our lungs when most people left, etc. Thankyou<3



Thank you for bringing me back into the fandom, SHINee.
