After what felt like I waited a lifetime, it was finally the day I got to see my man Justin Bieber in concert. If you don't already know, I have an almost embarrassing obsession for this guy. I blame my obsession on growing up with boy bands and young male singers like Jesse McCartney and Aaron Carter (thank you 90s-early 2000s). I was so nervous for some reason. It was like first date kind of nerves. I have no idea why though. Its not like I was going to meet him or even be remotely close to him. Our seats were pretty bad. I'm talking section 301 in Bridgestone Arena bad. I'm pretty sure I could've touched a cloud. Don't don't let that fool you. I was screaming and singing like I was in the front row.
The night started out a little rough. We called the cab company at 5:30 to come scoop us up at 6:00. When it hit 6:15 we decided to give them a call to see if they were lost. The company told us to call them every ten minutes to see if any of the drivers were coming. Ugh, why should we do that? Just freaking send them. We waited and waited and had some Budlights and waited some more. Finally at 6:50 (the concert started at 7) the taxi driver showed up. So we finally pull up to Broadway when I realized I HAD LEFT MY PHONE AT MY APARTMENT. I died a little inside. I thrive off Twitter, texting, and Instagram. Knowing I wasn't going to be able to capture this concert was just tragic. Needless to say, as we entered and took the never ending escalater ride up I made sure to grab not one but two tall boys of beer.
Cody Simpson opened first. We missed most of it but I wasn't too upset considering I don't know the guy or any if his songs. Then Carly Rae Jespen came on after him. She was pretty fun and entertaining. She even grabbed some people and let them party on stage with her during her hit of the summer, "Call Me Maybe". I really liked her song "Heart Is A Muscle". After all that, it was time for my biebz to come on.
Oh Justin. That guy has talent. He played the piano, the guitar, and the drums. He sang all the songs I wanted him to play. He even sang a few with just acoustics. I love that. He engaged his audience. At one point he even grabbed the camera and showed what the audience looked like from his view. Dang it must be awesome to have that many people dying to see you. He danced all across the stage and even gave us some risky pelvis thrusts and body rolls. You know I wasn't mad about that. Meeeeowww. When he took his shirt off my eardrums almost busted.
I will say... I'm in love but I'm not so head over heels that I won't admit that I can't stand his outfits sometimes. I just can't handle his pants. They're like skinny jean versions of mc hammer pants. His last wardrobe change for his encore he came out with zebra striped pants like that with his red briefs showing and no shirt. Y'all, this is why he needs me. I would tell him that's not acceptable. But whatevz.
I also want to tell y'all how awesome the staging was. The lighting was incredible. The stage set up was great. I love trap doors. His literally shot him and his backup dancers high in the air before they landed. He also had this crane that went above the audience that circled around so we cold see him better. I also really enjoyed that there was times where they showed home videos and his old YouTube videos. Those things just make me sink a little deeper in love.
All in all it was an amazing experience and I'm very thankful that I had the opportunity to go. Next time, I swear I will buy meet and greet passes because I just KNOW that if he ever met me he would fall in love. Also, I am aware that I'm 22 and I'm super creepy for being so obsessed with him. There ain't no shame in my game baby.
Stay tooned to read about the rest if my weekend in New Orleans!
Until next time,
KND
