SMTOWN NYC LIVE and SNSD FAN MEET pt1
k. I'm still in New York right now, so I can't post pictures (look for them weds), BUT IT WAS AMAZING.
My seats for the concert were really good. We were a bit far back, but we could still see faces and everything. Yuhno pointed right at me when he was flying across (he was pointing at people that had red light sticks and nobody else near me had one.) and Kyuhyun and Yuri BOTH WAVED AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So here a short run down:
f(x)
They are the ones that opened the concert, Amber was clearly the fan favorite and I think I was the only one yelling for Krystal. They did a really good job. Luna was so bubbly throughout and Amber has so much charisma. It just oozes for of her and she was clearly enjoying the crowds energy. Though my favorite performances with them was Krystal duets with Jessica and Key (Tik Tok and My First Kiss). She really good at the solo thing. i felt bad for Victoria because like nobody cheered for her. :((((((
Kangta
He did a really good job. We were kind of not looking forward to this, becuase it Kangta and they could have like brought the Trax instead, but by the end I was cheering my head off for him. I'm not a ballad fan, but he really worked the first one. Than him and Sulli did this cute duet where they kept pulling microphones out of everything. It was adorable. ♥ Breaka Shaka also really pumped me up. You could tell that he loved being on the stage every single second for the night.
SHINee
MUCH better than I expect. I was seriously up and dancing to every single time that they were on. Jonghyun and Minho were so so so so into it. I seriously spazzed at Jonghyun even though I'm that into SHINee and kept taking pictures of him and cheering loudly. AMIGO had to be my favorite performance, even though I think I've heard that song like, twice, before that. It was the head banging, I think. Also Key is another great performer. He not my favorite at all, but he really brought it to the stage. Onew too. Taemin looked a bit out of it from my side, but that might be becuase 90% of what I saw was his back.
Can I just say Ay-Yo was freaking hot right here and now. More on that later.
Girls' Generation
When they first came out, I was like waving my pink light stick like crazy while smilingly stupidly. It was like I forgot to cheer or something. Then I just started singing along. [Actually there was a girl in the audience that keep trying to get me to sit down, so we were dealing with that too.] They're intros though. So cute. Seohyun flubbed her line. That must be a first for her. You could tell she was a little flustered by that. I wish my biases said more, but they made up for that at the fan meet. They were so having fun though. Like kissing you, haha, way to go and oh, they were all dancing around. Lots of interaction with each other. Fany and Sunny seemed the most into interacting with the audience. They were like weaving all over the place. Jessica was really smiley, like she couldn't seem to stop. She also had a thing for winking. Taeyeon was really into performing. Like you could tell she was giving her all to every line and move. Even the songs that she doesn't like, she was totally into. Yuri was really working the crowds to, but differently than Sunny and Fany. She was more into doing cute things and letting people take pictures than waving. Same with Hyoyeon. She was really playful as well. But more like Yuri Sooyoung and Seohyun were really pretty and posed, but I don't really remember much fan service from them. Sooyoung was on the big screen though ALL THE TIME. She was always smiling and doing her thing. Yoona was a little low key, still smiling everywhere, just not so much on a camera or center of attention, but more on that when I talk about the fan meet. Obviously the whole time I was at the concert, I felt like my Soshi dream had come to true, but the fan meet blow all of that out of the water.
side note: They were much less tiny then I expected. They were pretty normal sized girls. Well, ok, my defination of normal and the worlds defination of normal is probably different, but I could easily share clothes with them. None of them looked straved or anything. Just every pretty.
Super Junior
Hands down, the BEST PERFORMERS OF THE NIGHT. If the rumors of Super Show in the US is true, I would SOOOOOO GO. Seriously, these guys worked the stage like no other. Seriously I was up singing and dancing like no other. The boys that get hated on for their attitudes were actually the best in show. Like every single moment that Eunhyuk was on the stage, I was instantly drawn to me. I think I have one too many pictures of him becuase of that. Leetuek and Shindong also really worked the fans. They were like always takign cameras and taking their picture on it. or picking things up and showing them. Kyuhyun and Yesung were also wonderful. Yesung really has an attitude about him. HE gives these deep looks and works every moment. Kyuhyun's voice is to DIE FOR. Seriously every time he opneed his mouth, my heart like skipped a beat. Ryeowook was all smily and wavy. Really cheerful and everything. Sungmin is still trying to sell his tough image and I'm still not buying. I was a bit surprised that in Donghae, becuase once I got the end of the concert, I was like, I don't remember anything about him except for in Bonamama and he one of favorites. He must have been on the other side.
OH and Henry and Zhoumi where there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so worried they wouldn't be, but they were and they got the loudest cheers out of all Super Junior by far. This was even before they introduced themself, they just came on stage and the entire audience went while. Henry mouth actually dropped adn he was like "wow" and Zhoumi had the biggest grin ever planted on his face, so you can tell that they are not used to that at ALL! After that, like all over Super Junior was trying to out do the noise in their introduction, because they all made us screen. Kyuhyun's english is so cute ♥ [They all spoke a bit of english, but I particular love his]. Henry and Zhoumi only got to do Prefection and Don't Don though, so it was down.
Odd note" There was a random guy on the drums during Don't Don instead Siwon and he was like dressed in a ratty tshrt and jeans. They couldn't find somethng a little more presentable.
BoA
First I'll say that she was adoreable. Like no questions about it. She came out and said the darnest things, like, "I never noticed that my shorts were this short." Her english is really really really good to. Like she didn't speak a word of Korean and it was very apparent that it was scripted at all. Her performances on the other hand were a tiny tiny tinny bit of a let down. She owned the stage wither her dancing, but let the backtrack take over half the song. I really wished that she had sung more. still people were really rude by like not cheering for her that much or leaving when she was on. It was sad, because you could tell she knew the other artist were getting more cheers and she was really trying to put her all into it.
HoMin
They had very few songs and Changmin's hair looked like a poodle, but still they did an AWESOME job. The cutest part of their thing was teh introduction. Yuhno attempted to speak english (he said something like, "everyone fun tonght") but made himself confused, so he ended up switching over to korea. Changmin on the other hand suprised us. First when he tried to speak, everyoen cheered, so he "shh" us until we shut up and then he started to speak in English. Lots of English. It was like "Thank you forall your lo-ve and su--por-t," but it was clear that he had worked super hard on it it. For me it was really the highlight, becuase I'm not really a tohoshinki fan, I just like the boys. But I was really glad that they played three songs that I loved.
I'm tired, so I'll cover the fan meet next time. BUT OMG IT WAS AMAZING. I was front row. Seriously!!!!!! They were so close.
