I went for the Jayesslee concert at Dewan Wawasan, Menara PGRM last Saturday and it was such a great show! Totally awesome! If you do not know who Jayesslee is, they are comprised of Korean twins, Janice and Sonia, whom garnered followers from their cover of Tamia's "Officially Missing You" with currently over 12 million hits. You can also check out their latest cover of Payphone by Maroon 5 (which I so totally love by the way) garnered over 3 million hits within just 3 weeks.
And a big thanks to Advertlets for holding a contest to win tickets to see the twins live and super big thanks to my friend Shu Ni for her winning comment and all her friends and mine as well for voting. Thanks so much!
I arrived at the venue around half past 4 and there were already people waiting in line to enter the room.
They were even selling Jayesslee merchandise. Jayesslee T-Shirts for RM80 each, Jayesslee Posters for RM20 each and Light Sticks.
Finally got the complimentary tickets from Advertlets. Thank you very much. ^_^
Before the concert, they had a small press conference in the other room. Fans were screaming when they passed by to go into the room. Aren't they pretty?
Finally got into the hall. We ran as fast as we could to get the best seats. We were in the middle. v^_^v
First opening act was Alexis, Anthony and Phobe with "Rolling In The Deep". You can check out the video here at Alexis' Facebook page.
Next opening act Ming and Charis performing a mash-up of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" and Maroon 5's "Payphone". Check out their Youtube channels at dmingthing and charisowTV.
Third opening act was by Leon Marcus Zachary who performed a solo song called "Superhero" and later performed a duet of Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away" with Miss Cheerio.
Dan dan dan!! Time for the twins to perform! The crowd went crazy with screaming fans.
Usually when you go into a concert like this, you would not be able to take any picture or videos especially with your DSLR camera. So the staff from Creative Central had to fasten our bags with cable ties. But the twins were so nice that they allowed us to take pictures and film the first 2 songs that they perform. I don't know why I can't upload the video, some technical problem. >_<
This is a list of the other songs that they sang:
Simple Plan ft. Natasha Bedingfield - Jetlag
OneRepublic - Secrets
Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up
Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars - Safe & Sound
(Janice called the Hunger Games "Hungry Games". XD)
P.Diddy ft. Skylar Grey - I'm Coming Home
Starfield - Cry In My Heart
MissA - Good Bye Baby (They sang in Korean!)
The Katinas - Thank You
Maroon 5 - Payphone
Jayesslee Original - Failure In disguise
Amazing Grace
Switchfoot - Dare You To Move
And for their Encore performance, Jessie J - Price Tag. You could feel the energy and excitement in the room. It was great! And you have got to love they way they sing Christian songs with so much passion and soul. You can't help but stop clapping and cheering and just listening to their voices and nothing else.
A clear picture of the backdrop.
The meet and greet for the VVIP ticket holders were at the other end of the concert hall. Check out the line.
Next time for sure I am definitely going to get the VVIP tickets fast! Nothing will get in my way! Saving up money. XD
Oh! And get ready for the mini album that is going to come soon! ^_^
