My friends and i watched his concert last Feb 29 at Araneta Coliseum. We got general admission tickets, priced at P578.00 What we didnt know, is that aside from a different entrance, there is only one stall where you can buy your food from - and we were famished.

Anways, on to the concert. It started at 8PM, featuring the dance group, uhm, forget their name. Then followed by a singer, who i also dont recall the name. Then after 30 minutes, the DJ of NeYo's band came out, followed by the band, then NeYo himself with the dancers.

NeYo started out the concert with the only song in his repertoire that i truly know - So Sick. Since am not a fan, i dont know the rest of his playlist. But he is a consummate performer. He only took 10minute breaks - which is why at 930 exactly, he said his goodbyes already.

Let me tell you. The audience was stunned. Filipinos are used to watching a 2hour concert (well, there is the waiting period, then the intermission, and all that jazz) and here we are, concert starting at 8PM and finished at 930PM. No one was leaving their seats. Everyone is looking at each other and wondering.....that's it?

NeYo left the stage, followed by his band.....the last to leave is supposed to be the DJ, but apparently, he noticed that no one is leaving their seats. Everyone is waiting for NeYo to return for a second set. The DJ just couldnt leave the stage as he felt that the audience might go amok any second, so he apparently sent word to NeYo who is already in his dressing room, that the audience is still waiting for him.

NeYo returned, wearing jeans and a white tshirt, with no band in sight. Someone handed him tagalog words to read - the infamous Mahal ko kayo...or something like it. Then, he sang one last song, accompanied by a minus one tape as his band really didnt return on stage. Then, the audience finally got the drift and started to trickle out of the coliseum.

After that.....my pals and i decided to check out the mall if there are still shops open as we felt....shafted. Its a good thing we only paid general admission prices. Imagine if we paid the patron seat.

The concert just felt so...bitin. But overall, we liked that DJ as he didnt leave the audience hanging.
