COMPLETELY YOURS !


I cannot describe last night's performance other than mesmerizing. It might not be the most perfect concert of all times and it might not make history, but it was M-E-S-M-E-R-I-Z-I-N-G. Mr. Mraz knew exactly what he was doing! tsk.
So I arrived long before his show started, and managed to inch closer to the stage with the girls. His opening song was Make It Mine-- despite the nice beats, not my most favorite. But who cares when someone that gorgeous is onstage plucking the strings added with his incredible soothing voice, right ?
He really took in the crowds with him so all the girls went ga-ga each time he said something riduculous. That's right, he was even joking onstage a couple of times and managed to slip in Oasis's Wonderwall lyrcis, while the whole audience sang along in hysterics.
At least I did.
And yes he did sing Beautiful Mess ! *wink, nadya!* It was completely, absolutely beautiful. He made those weird but unbelievably smooth jazz sounds with his mouth and said "Well, this is a jazz festival after all right?"
See what I wrote in the previous post about his effortlessly cool , dynamic onstage act? Well, he proved it last night as he moved around, did a little dance every now and then, acting along with his own lyrics and beats, and even did a little salsa.
At which point I almost fainted.
Haha. It's so very teeny-bopperish of me, I know, but please. If you were there, you'd be screaming your heart out for him as well. And speaking of teeny boppers, there was a group of 'underage' girls singing along with their high-pitched voice that not only bled my ears, they also kept nudging forward in hysterics.
Made me stare longingly at the heavy camera settings and wondering how it would feel if it dropped on their pretty little heads.
But all violence aside, it was an unforgettable show. I am infatuated with the guy even more now.
In the end, Jason Mraz's live show was even better than I imagined-far better. His voice is smooth as hell, no cracks at all, his hyped-up stage acts were incredible, and even though I had to cram in with 9,000 other people, at Rp. 450.000 a ticket it was definitely definitely definitely worth it.
