One Direction @ SM MOA Concert Grounds Mar.22.2015
One Direction stole the hearts of Manila for two successful days. They said that Day 1 was the best show they’ve done, but they spoke too soon. Day 2 became one for the books too. I guess we can say Manila is the best!
Everyone was heartbroken about Zayn being MIA, but the show must go on and what a great show it was. Liam, Harry, Louis, and Niall all have equally amazing voices. They are such great entertainers. It was obvious everyone loved the show and had a memorable time.
The boys were very playful on stage and they act like brothers. Liam has such a natural stage presence. He is very comfortable and likes to keep everyone happy with his funny expressions while dancing all over the place. Harry was also showing off his dance moves. Throughout the show the boys were changing up the lyrics of YG’s song and rapping “Mah-nila, Mah-nila”. It made all the girls scream each time.
They even had the crowd voting for their favorite food between Liam’s Team Nuggets and Harry’s Team Vegetables. They also had the cameras go around and look for fan signs to read. One asked them to take a selfie which Liam kissed Niall on the cheek for. Everyone couldn’t hold their laughter in when one sign requested for them to say “nakakapagpabagabag”.
1D has such a dedicated fan base. It was hands-down the craziest crowd i’ve ever seen. I love how the boys tried to give attention to as many fans as they could including the ones all the way in the back. They made sure no one was left out and everyone felt like they were a part of the event. The crowd calmed down to sing along beautifully to Little Things.
The boys like to highlight their hardworking crew. On the first day they sang Happy birthday to Sally and on the second day they sang to Toby. Harry was the official birthday chair. They were even so proud to share another song that their band members practiced playing which was a cover of I Will Survive.
For the encore One Direction sang You and I, Little White Lies, and Best Song Ever. Facing the end of the concert and having to say goodbye to the boys was heartbreaking. However, the impressive fireworks show that ended the concert left a smile on everyone’s faces. So one more show to go for the British Invasion. Sam Smith is up next and i’m sure it will be perfect!
