The day has come and gone!
*Yes, thank you Peel Fresh for the free fan. It was HOT and STUFFY all the way but you made it better. Even Kelly was commenting on how she was sweating.*
I went with my fellow fans, Tantan and Brenddie! I'm sorry girls but this was the only group pic I have...
Thank God for Star LRT, Bukit Jalil was just a train ride away.
Concert was scheduled to start at 8pm. So we went a lil bit early and sat inside the stadium. All of us didn't bring in cameras because we thought they would conduct bag checks and keep our cameras if they did find any. THEY DIDN'T. We regretted, but we had phones with cameras anyway, while the photos are not really clear (3.2...) I could somewhat fully enjoy the concert without worrying about taking photos.
The same could not be said about a father and daughter pair sitting in front of us. The father was busy snapping away pictures of her daughter having fun. So much that Tantan and Brenddie got jealous. Right? =P
Bren, you should totally follow your dad to the Deep Purple concert! Nyahaha.
The view from our RM198 seat. It was a level higher than the stage but it was okay as there were 2 screens. And we were center enough to see her and the band.
As we were early and already seated, Natalie from Hitz.fm was busy entertaining everyone with free posters. But because we paid less and was therefore a level higher, the poster she threw couldn't reach us.
Besides posters, they also decided to launch a balloon avalanche on us. Situated all the way at the top level were a lot of balloons held up by a net. They decided to release them suddenly without warning.
Thanks to Sony Ericsson for the surprise balloons! Everyone was busy throwing them forward. It's amazing to see how many balloons were falling from the sky.
Then, the opening acts came on! Punctual as well. 8pm sharp wei...
Jaclyn Victor, winner of Malaysian Idol sang a medley and Suki, winner of One in a Million sang a Malay song and played a little violin, which Tantan commented it was rather 'unskillfully". I have to say that while being somewhat out of place, Suki's dress was very very nice. There was a red ruffle madness going on. But me likey. I read on a blog (Google does wonders) that her dress costs RM15,000. But for Kelly Clarkson's concert? I felt she chose the wrong clothes to put on that evening. Kelly Clarkson herself wore only a black top, a skirt and leggings for the whole duration of her concert.
Which ran for only 1 and a half hours (a bit short, I want more! XD)...
Jaclyn's voice was great. I listened to her live before (thanks to Tantan) and I was hoping she would sing some of Kelly's songs as well but she only sang one song that night. The crowd was cheering pretty loud for her too. You can tell the difference between cheers for Suki and her.
Crappy photo coming through... It is actually nearer than it looks. My phone's camera is meh.

She rocked out the whole concert with hardly any breaks in between. As her birthday was on the 24th, some of the crowd started singing her a birthday song (although it was partially drowned out by the cheers and the music of the next song that was starting to play) and she acknowleged their efforts! Way to go Malaysia! And she proudly announced that she turned 28.
She also went barefooted throughout the concert - skipping, hopping and bouncing to her own music. She sang her famous songs from all her albums that night. The set list for her Asian tour (thanks to Wikipedia):
I really enjoyed the concert! Didn't regret going at all (trade-off for Video Games Live, which I heard was really great as well. Please come next year?) The fun part was when she sang and the crowd starting to go wild and sing along to her songs. Then once in a while she would point the microphone out towards the crowd and let us sing. Feel the love~
One thing is the sound system. Everything was really loud and I could feel my seats shaking and my hearing was a bit muffled up a while into the concert. We were also lucky it didn't rain, but even if it did, the outdoor stadium has a roof! =D
I am thankful that I have never been to any Asian concerts before, as I heard that the concerts last for 3 hours with many costume changes and dancers on a big stage with many entry points. Kelly's stage might pale in comparison to that, but her 3 guitarists, 2 backup singers, a drummer and a DJ were enough to deliver a great energetic performance.
To sum everything up, like I said on my FB status:
