“The motto here is Majulah Singapura”. “Our motto is ‘what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.’ But I’ll say our motto is a crock of s*** because we are here tonight!”

Yes. Finally! Got the see The Killers live on stage, on a tight 18-tracks concert last Saturday. Everyone killed it that night, especially Brandon Flowers (vocalist) & Ronnie Vannuci Jr. (drummer). Too bad Mark Stoermer (bassist) wasn't able to join due to injury so Jake Blanton filled in his shoes for the rest of "Battle Born" tour this year.

The Killers Set List for Singapore GP F1 2013 Day 2 Concert (source here):

1. Mr. Brightside | 2. Spaceman | 3. The Way It Was | 4. Smile Like You Mean It | 5. Bling (Confession of a King) | 6. Shadowplay (Joy Division cover) | 7. Human | 8. Somebody Told Me | 9. I Think We're Alone Now (Tommy James and the Shondells cover) | 10. For Reasons Unknown | 11. From Here On Out | 12. A Dustland Fairytale | 13. Read My Mind | 14. Runaways | 15. All these Things That I’ve Done | 16. This Is Your Life | 17. Jenny Was a Friend of Mine | 18. When You Were Young

I was psyched that they played the majority of my favorite songs! They cranked up the heat right since the beginning with their all-time hit "Mr. Brightside", followed with "Spaceman". The audience started chanting altogether when Brandon played slow acoustic for "Human" intro. Everything got louder by the time "All These Things That I've Done" was played, everyone shouted "I'VE GOT SOUL BUT I'M NOT A SOLDIER"... Wow. And then closed perfectly with "When You Were Young", I couldn't be happier!!

Too bad I still can't believe that they missed out "Miss Atomic Bomb" and "Battle Born" itself :( But I sang my heart out that night, very, very satisfied. Brandon closed that night with a line:

“I’m sorry it’s taken us 10 years (to come here). We’ve had a wonderful time.”

CONCERT-A-THON! 4 NIGHTS, 5 STARS: Singapore Grand Prix 2013 Formula 1

HERE WE GO AGAIN! This is my 2nd time attending Singapore GP F1, long after Linkin Park & Shakira made their way back at Singapore GP 2011. This year's line-up was AH-MA-ZIIING!  First day we got Big Bang (hey, reunion! same as 2011), second day The Killers rocked the stage, and on the final #F1NightRace we got Rihanna. Not forgetting the unusual, the first ever Closing Concert featuring Owl City and yep, you guessed it right..... JUSTIN BIEBER.

It was probably one of the most epic week, with 5 major pop-stars in 4 nights-in-a-row. THANK YOU! I'm a happy girl in her 20s. LOL.
