When I heard the intro sound of Twenty Three playing, I already squealed in happiness. lol To be honest, that's one of my favorite songs of IU. It's very fierce and very lively so I really like it a lot! You guys can see the video for Twenty Three on my previous blog entry, click here: IU's Love Poem Concert in Manila! (Part 1)
The next song she performed was BBIBBI and daaaang it, that was so fantastic! I thought it was the best performance of the evening at that very moment. (Disclaimer: but wait for the other songs she performed. lol) She was so happy, we could all see her smiling every time Ma-aenas were singing along and doing the BBIBBI fanchants so loud. We could all tell she's really impressed. Every songs she performed was really great, and I mean every songs! Hahaha! She even left a remark that she named Singapore as the country of BBIBBI but she thinks that the Philippines is the mother of BBIBBI. (IU thinks that Philippines is the one who made it) lol We all laughed and proudly cheered on that. Maaenas were very glad at every positive remarks that IU spoke the entire night, because we all know that those words were her genuine feelings surfacing.
In the next one, for me it's the performance that first highlighted her powerful voice that night. Despite the loud music playing, her voice still beautifully surmounts it. The only thing she cannot beat though was the loud cheer from Ma-aenas. She told that herself during encore. The song was, Hold My Hand.
Then aside from her Tagalog words and giggles due to happiness, I think this next performance she did was the cutest of the night. It's Last Night Story! Performing the cute dances from its MV and witnessing it LIVE? GAAAAH! We're all dead! Every time she dances cutely and shows a very adorable facial expressions, everyone in the crowd was screaming for her and if you'll see in the vid she actually did push herself to dance up to the end. We think that she got really carried away by the fans cheering. Since she was enjoying every bits of it she left a positive remark that she thought it was the Philippines' National Anthem.
So last night was like the best thing ever that happened to my fandom world. I was totally mesmerized by the feeling of being present in a concert of one of my favorite artist. And to be honest with you all, I still am in awe of what took place that night. Last night's concert was actually my first ever, so I am totally in daze and I can't seem to calm myself even after the event. It was really like the best night ever in my life. Call me exaggerated but that's what I really felt and I'll cherish that forever. The first ever concert that I attended was really IU's Love Poem in Manila, and I will not exchange that event for any other concert to be my first. Because aside from the obvious fact that IU was there singing and entertaining us all, it was also because of the fans that made that night so special for me. PH Uaena or Maaena are so amazing, and I am so proud to be part of that crowd. Even IU was shocked by how amazing the crowd was. I almost lost my voice screaming for each songs she sang, for her cute remarks and Tagalog words. That night was really wonderful and I love it so much that I wanted to cry due to happiness. IU just made my love for her even bigger. I am so inspired to do the things that I REALLY wanted to do in my life. I was really moved by her and IU being so appreciative all the time, being shocked by how popular she was up till this time is just so humbling. She's an amazing artist and a wonderful person who always wanted to make her fans happy and cheerful. And to be able to make her happy that entire night was very fulfilling as well. We can all feel how moved and happy she was. She even left a remark that she wants Maaena to come with her concert in Indonesia, which garnered even more love from the crowd.
I really do not want to forget those precious moments from last night's concert so I've decided to do a detailed blog entry about that. So this might be divided in 2 parts or so. I will try my best with this to showcase you all that magical night because IU is worth all the time and effort.
