SITI NURHALIZA'S - SATU

Last Sunday I had the chance to attend Siti's long awaited concert at Istana Budaya. It is not that I am a die hard fans of her unlike the Siti Zoners, (Siti's Fan club) but I did go to her previous concerts before, be it in Bukit Jalil or in RTM, bought almost all of her CDs and DVDs ermm..ok ok I admit, I like her as a singer..she is a good singer vocally and in this area, its pretty hard to find her competitors. Well she gave me goose bumps with her voice, dude..and that its all that matters. Other than that I don't give a shit about her personal life. Knowing Siti and knowing Istana Budaya (and the ticket price that goes with it), I anticipated it to be a fabulous show and I was right. The overall concert was pretty damn good. Fantastic choices of songs, perfect delivery (as always), awesome gimmick, dances and outstanding props making the overall concept was just right...not too pretentious...not overly glamorous but had a class of its own...she was more at ease with the audience, confident and enjoying herself on stage. To me the most important thing was that I really enjoyed myself that night and personally, Siti is still the best singer in Malaysia.

Other significant audiences that night was Y.Bhg Tun Dr. Mahathir and wife, the Malaysian artistes and celebrities. The infamous Indonesian singers Kris Dayanti and Rossa were there too.

The opening act was from the talented singer Aizat...he belted out 3 songs but none of it was 'Kau Pergi', the song that can touched others with its lyrics and melody...sigh..

Next.., am looking forward to Anuar Zain's concert at the same place this Thursday.. I don't mind paying double the ticket price from Siti's as long as I can have a good seat (In case of Siti's...well...I had no choice since I was unable to secure one. From what I heard from a member in IB was that Datuk K had bought most of good seats to be given to his staffs, business partners and friends etc..). Dunno if that was true....

Thank you Siti...and yes I am a fan....period...
