Fan account: SMTown Live in Paris
Highlights:
✬ Choi MinHo captured my heart. Slowly turning into a SHINee fan…Wanna see Hello Baby xD
✬ HoMin performed great - professional as usual! Maybe too professional that they act all stiff and don't interact with the fans at all. Even ignoring the cassis section on the second day…I'll explain further down.
✬ I want to go to a SUPER JUNIOR concert!
✬ Jessica and Krystal's performance really caught my eyes.
✬ SNSD really are flawless from top to toe *_*
WARNING! Much is still a blur to me. I can't believe I was there!!! So much rabble ^^;;
Day 1: June 10th 2011
The area was crowded with fans from all Europe and even other parts of the world several hours before the concert would start. The nearest McDonald's was filed and I can say that the line to the toilet went on forever, lol. Can say that queuing seems like it's this countries best friend, but that's another story… The que to the venue started to shoke up and it was hard to see how one could get to the concerts goods and the concert hall. At the goods telt there where no ordinary line. You could stand wherever and they serve whomever stands next to them…At this point I already misses the Japanese concert system! Fast and efficient and no flighting over tired sales people behind the disk. I bought TVXQ's clear file and the T-shirt^^ Still haven't opened them yet xD
The cute HaPororo was there too xD
The only one that showed some real skin was SiWon ^_^ That boy is tall and he is good looking IRL! Almost shining like Yamapi IRL.
I really loved my prestige seat in section E. Sat in the centre and I could see clearly the artists. No need to look at the big screens! ^_^
SNSD and their small waist and LEGS!
I had a row of fanboys wearing the SNSD pink t-shirt and they all stood up when SNSD performed. Me on the other hand usually took the opportunity to rest my arms, legs and voice for the others, lol. TVXQ still hadn't appeared yet and half of the concert had passed! >_<
Actually found someone capture me where I sat!

The prince(!) and the princess. KyunHyun is so cute!
I liked the sisters performance. Should have fancamed it during the first day, cause the dance was much better viewer from the centre rather from the side.
f(x) ^_^
Lots of the SMTown scene clothes I've already seen before, so no surprise there.
Tried so zoom in on Donghae. He didn't want to stand still xD
Whenever Super Junior appeared on scene the audience went crazy xD So many ELF fans and not just that. They know how to kick life in the audience. They play, they tease and they interact!!!! Three major factors to make the concert something extra and not just a regular performance. When they were done and the special dance performance was over it went dark. Two tall figures went to each side of the extended scene sections to get hooked up for a flight in the air. People started screaming, I started to frenz with my camera and took therse shoots ^_^
He looked like a doll. A bit tired but still perfect *_*
As everyone had screamed so much just previous to HoMin's performance the audience was quite out of breath, including me ^^;;
MinHo in red <3
(forgot my watermark here, all well...)
I've dodged SHINee for a very long time. And I'm utterly aware of that. SMTown made me look at them in a totally different way!! MinHo changed my view. Read my experience on the next concert day xD
DAY 2: June 11th 2011
I think all people that came on the second day had already been on the first one. Cause everyone seemed to know what to expect. This time no one cared about the light-stick and camera rule. You could bring whatever with you into the venue, the staff didn't even glance at your purse. The good part they opened up the doors to the venue earlier and it was not choking with ppl. Cause there is no need to stand in line if you didn't have a standing seat near the scene ^_~
I had a seat with the other cassies that had bought their tickets through Phoenix - the unoffical europeian TVXQ fanclub! We had ballons and light- stick. My gawd I missed holding a light-stick. It was so weird holding up an emty arm/hand during the first concert. Something was missing xD I know that HoMin noticed us, but I feel sadden that they didn't wave or turned towards us during their short self introduction talk that every artists did after their first appearance during the concert. We say a bit to the left of the venue. Even towards the end when all SM artists come out wearing the official pink concert T-Shirt Yunho decided to go to the other side of the scene and hang out. Far way from us cassis grouped together in a section T_T Changmin followed YunHo...Probably it was decided before the concert which side of the scene they should walk, but still. I could feel that all cassis felt disappointed. When someone managed to push a red balloon in YunHo's hand he looked at the famillar ballloon and looked at us. Aww then I forgave him...a bit xD
All I could think of was MinHo. He wasn't as tall as I had imaged but that boy is soooooo goooood looooking.
During AYO performance with MinHo, Key, EunHyuk and ShinDong I had expected to see Key appear around my area cause he did it on the first day. They would enter the scene through the audience section. BUT OH SO SUPRSED I WAS! MINHO CAME FROM THE EXIT DOORS AND I FELL FOR HIM HARD!!!
Someone even captured me where I had went back to my seat, cause I initially dashed to where MinHo appeared and dashed here and there. In the video I'm holidng up my hand as he passes for a high-five. Was totally ignored like a fool haha ^^;; Thanks toxickaty for finding the video.

Short and sweet:
I don't think I've felt so broke before on any trip haha. But it was so worth it!!! The concert was great! Happy that I could attend both of them. The organization in Paris was on a completely other level, though. Can only compare to Japan and they have a much better system!!! Both to the goods and the concert hall! Well structured lines and sign boards. No confusion at all compared to the first day's mess at Zenith.
Wish SM will come again to another European city!
