Try to reach out to you, touch my hand.

Right so apparently I went for David Archuleta's concert on the 26th of July 2011. Came home, got told Irene got us tickets. Well for Flo actually, I had to tag along to babysit her. Wasnt really a big fan. Im okay. Got there around 5 something I think. Bought Florence a shirt with David's face on it. LOL. Got into line, we were the early ones. Met Irene's friend. Stadium Negara. Air conditioned just like Stadium Putra's Indoor Stadium. Suppose to start at 8pm. Well it started at 8.45pm as usual always late. One of our locals opened, I cant remember who did. It was some chinese guy singing and dancing around with another 5 guys. Then it was nothing for a while. Everyone started cheering 'DAVID DAVID' so yeah he came out.
I didnt know the whole setlist but boy was I glad to hear him do a cover of Heaven by Bryan Adams. I DID NOT EXPECTED THAT AT ALL :') Here's the setlist.
1. Stomping the Roses
2. The Other Side of Down
3. A Little Too Not Over You
4. Love Don’t Hate
5. Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Cover of Tears for Fears)
6. Something ‘Bout Love
7. My Kind of Perfect
8. Elevator
9. A Thousand Miles (Cover of Vanessa Carlton)
10. Falling Stars
11. Touch My Hand
12. Falling Stars
13. Stand By Me (Cover of Ben E King)
14. Everything and More
15. Zero Gravity
16. Crush
and yeah a cover of Heaven.

The only thing that really got me so surprise was the covers he did. Even Tears For Fears. DID NOT EXPECTED THAT REALLY. His vocals were amazing. Though I gotta admit it, him, dancing around stage, CUTE. My ears hurts like ugh because Florence kept on screaming. One of her idols, whatever lah. I cant remember what were the songs that he choose to sit and play the keyboard and singalong too but I think My Kind Of Perfect was one of the songs. Really great vocals. Expressions woweee. David Archuleta, double thumbs up for you. He was very humble. You could actually see that he was thankful that he got the chance to come here. I've been to all sorts of concerts, this one was one of those, where you'd actually take time to appreciate the singer's voice. I'll say it again, great vocals dude. Now, I would love to go to The Script or The Fray's concert. Better yet, it would be in a close venue. John Mayer, Sara Bareilles. Let just say I have a whole list of future concerts I'd like to attend. If I could, I would. Kinda glad this was somewhat Flo's first concert. She got the feel lah. Wasnt the best, but it was a different kind.
