CHIVAS: Akon Freedom Beach Concert | Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach


Nyahahaha.. looks like Akon was the most preferred choice in the end, when I asked in this entry. Thanks for the immediate response loves! Okay as promised, here’s the lowdown on the R&B HipHop artist Akon’s showstopping gig :

beautiful
Love the lyrics to his song ‘Beautiful’

I had a trip in Singapore cut short and flew back to Malaysia on Saturday, just in time for Akon’s gig. Now, I wouldn’t miss that for the world. After all, he is to date, one of the dopest artists I reckon – producing and singing so many of my fave club anthems. Yup, huge fan speaking here!

Headed right down to Sunway Lagoon with Erin, who was my guest for this event.
Funny how we darted back and forth from the carpark to the entrance twice whilst chomping down our to-go dinners in between!

Myself & Erin

To kick-start the event in style, singer Nikki blew the crowd away with her powerful vocals whilst Caprice, our local HipHop homeboy melted the ladies hearts’. I could remember Nikki from being one of the finalists of Malaysian Idol (I forgot which season LOL)

Emcees of the night was Hunny Madu & Nadia from Fly.Fm and to be frank, Hunny did most of the talking while Nadia responded a tad too little. Hmm but ANYWAY the duo hyped up the crowd to ensure Akon could hear them beckoning him to come upstage – FAST!

Extremely TALL man spotted!
(he was prolly on some big burly man’s shoulders)

The moment he came upstage, all of us at the VIP Island put down our Chivas on the rocks and dashed to the front to take in a better view of Akon, the man himself.

He began with his older songs from the 1st few songs I recognized him for. ‘Ghetto’ especially. I recall singing along to it when I was only 14 – 15 years old. Sadly, he didn’t sing ‘Mr. Lonely’! I absolutely love that song and apparently my folks fancies it too.

One of his fans even gave him a jersey bearing
“KONVICTED”
on it! Talk about passion, boyyyyy!

Throughout the entire performance, he was practically stripping. Woots! Now now, don’t get your thoughts infiltrated by my words. Heh. He was just removing his tops piece by piece to gradually reveal a drool-worthy of a muscular body.

Was also there partying with Andy, another fellow photohunter with 10 years more experience than I have strapped to my belt. We were shooting almost all night but hmmm.. but check out our flushed faces. Blame the free flow of Chivas on the rocks! Woots

Where photos come alive!
And thanks to this awesome event by Martensia events, Chivas Regal and Sunway, I also met some new friends, who were equal die-hard fans of Akon as I was! Had a good time partying with you peeps too

The strangest part was when Erin nudged me when I was sitting very still on the rocks, asking me to observe Akon’s lips and try to match it with the songs that were amplified from the speakers.

in deep concentration
Thanks for the candid Andy! :)

Only then I realized that he could probably be lip-syncing at certain points of time. Hmmm.. I’ll leave that to your imagination then, but let’s just hope he doesn’t pull a Sean Kingston on us yeh?

Akon still rocks our
socks crocs anytime!

oh and he has VERY CLEAN SHAVEN ARMPITS YO.

He was amazing with a capital A during this song! Trying not to be controversial, he shoved the microphone at the crowd after singing “I wanna…” to finish words to his sentence

fucku
And let’s just say,
the crowd didn’t finish it with the radio-edit version
MUAHAHAHAHA

He whipped the crowd into raptures when he pumped up ‘Dangerous’ and ‘Smack That’! The songs ‘Just Dance’ and ‘What You Got’ by his proteges Lady Gaga and Colby O’Donis just proved his versatility even more when he sang that too!

It was amazing with a capital A when he began to crowd surf all the way to the very end just to get to the fans who were so faraway from the stage. Security tried to stop him, but he reprimanded them in fronta everyone!

Photobucket
SECURITY! STOP TRYING TO PULL ME DOWN!
I WANNA GET TO MUH PEOPLE!

And he did manage to, with the strong support and relentless fanbase to back him up (literally!) It was a real heart-rending sight to see him struggle, trying to avoid falling straight to the ground. When he reached his destination, he raised his arms in utmost glory above roaring cheers…. for 5 seconds.

YES YOU GUESSED IT.
HE KAPLUNKED RIGHT TO THE GROUND!

akon

Poor Akon – hope you didn’t bump your head or something! You were brilliant tonight, now if only there was an encore performance! We were all yelling our heads off for it
