Yes I like what I saw

Woo. Back from the KX08 extravaganza... And I tell you, I had the time of my all nine lives... Rawr it was hawt!

Here's my review and umm, some details about the Helsinki concert

First of all, the arena was packed ! Packed with filthy homos I tell you... I'm not that easy on the eye and that didn't stop them from grobing my roly polly boo boo bottom. I'm so lucky I've got myself a nice decent used-to-be-hetero guy :b I saw what I was missing and I was G L A D !

Some basket cases... 
And back to the main subject; The arena was packed and the mood was just right... They started playing CGYOOMH at the start and blinked the lights and people rushed in. Then the lights went off completely and my heart was bouncing off my chest when I stood there in the front row my eyes glued to the purple curtain... Which soon dropped and revealed the stage - which looked much smaller in real life ha ha !

Speakerphone was awwrite and I let out a tear or too cause Kylie - my lifetime fave idol omglol - in other words I died and went to Kylie heaven. I didn't really warm up for Speakerphone though, and I just wanted it to be over so we'd get forward.
The whole Xlectrostatic section was kinda ok, but something was missing. I think the "change" from song to song was a bit awkward.

Cheersquad was... meh... I only digged Shocked to be honest. Though Heart Beat Rock was ok when live.

When Beach party started I started realizing I was in a Kylie concert and I started dancing a little to the music and I think it was overall a nice set of songs. I liked the story on Cobacabana. Spinning Around could've been skipped.

Xposed... I Xploded. Like A Drug was SO good. Oh I died again and went to the second Kylie heaven. I loved the version she did of Slow... and Free! FREE! I went totally crazy when I heard it... I thought the song was alright, but when I heard it there - live and 2 meters away from me - it hit me and I just jumped like a maniac. Haha, funny me. Haha.

2 Hearts was better than I expected. I danced... I pranced!

Then there was the pause between the two sections and I was like: BLEUGH! No no no. It doesn't work. It just doesn't. The concert totally lost it's momentum.

Then it started again and Sometime Samurai wasn't good. (Gosh I'm nagging a lot! xD)
CIMW and Nu-Di-Ty were horrible and should be skipped... Add GBI and Stars with a twist from Tokyo.
Sensitized was okay.... I just stared at the acrobats... There should've been a mechanical bull, honestly !
And a funny thing; the song has some other song mixed in there at the end... Take Me With You or Dreams or something like that. No one noticed that? (oh, I forgot no ones reading - atleast not this far !)

Starry Nights, umm... total tear time... I cry whenever I hear the ballad version of IBIY, but the fact that Flower was served as an appetizer for it just made me water. They could add The One acoustic to that section.

Black Versus White... MY FAVE ACT EVER ! On A Night Like This <3 class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"> IN MY FUCKIN ARMS !! <3 class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I wanna phunk, I wanna phunk, I wanna eph eph eph eph uu n kay ! 

Then the Encore... No More Rain was okay... I kept having Beautiful Stranger / Ray Of Light flashbacks. Love At First Sight was superb and I've never danced as much until five minutes later when I Should Be So Lucky came in...
The crowd was wild and nobody stopped screaming or clapping their hands, and Kylie & co had to do another song... Sadly they did All I See which was kinda wasted on the audience, The One would've worked better if you ask me.

All in all it was a superb concert, the best I've ever been to and I loved it even though I just nagged a little.

Kylie was really nice and she talked much and in Finnishii, yayii!

I so want to go again .___.
