I haven't posted stuff in a while (shame on me!), I've been so siiiccck :( still am.. booo.. but anyways... Last Tuesday I went to the Katy Perry concert at Valley View Casino Center (aka the Sports Arena) and it was aweeesoomee :) Granted she didn't come out till about 9!! aah it seemed like fooorever.. We looked up who the opening act was suppose to be and it said Robyn (totally a one hit wonder deal), I don't know if anyone remembers her 90's hit "Show me love" but all of my friends definitely had memories with that song in the 6th grade! So we were actually kinda excited to see her but the opening acts were Oland? and some DJ?, a DJ as opening act >_<.. really...? lol maybe I was just super impatient that it was taking forever for her to come out and we left at like 5ish to avoid traffic and got there 6ish buuut if I wanted to go dancing and listen to club music.. I would've just gone to a club (omg such a debbie downer).
Well back on the actual concert, so the whole arena smelled like cotton candy when you walk in! so awesome! If you didn't know.. her CD smells like cotton candy haha. And her whole set was all candy and cake like which is amaazing! Her concert started off with a story... Katy Perry working at a butcher shop with her mean creepy boss showing her how to cut meat (so weird) and he yells at her that she isn't doing it right and she runs away... She passes by a cute bake shop with the hott baker boy working and orders a cupcake.. totally eyes the hott baker boy turns away and sighs and goes home to bed and she dreams her cat "Kitty Purry" runs away and Katy follows her into a candy cake world! And starts the show off singing "Teenage Dream"...
I have to say her costumes/quick costume changes were incredible!! I would LOVE to have been her costume designer! Heres a link to Instyle.com that does an article on her costumes. Everything she wore had bright pretty colors with glitter and cupcakes or candy on it, the girl even had a catsuit. And she had 6 costume changes during her "Hot and Cold" number!!
She brought some people from the crowd up on stage and let them dance and take pictures with her which I thought was super nice. She also said the first guy who takes his shirt off gets to come up on stage and she brings up this guy and basically makes fun of him on stage (hilarious!) but she gave him a kiss on the cheek and let him give her one in return. Heres a vid..
She did a lot of crowd interaction... maybe too much at times, she said San Diego about a million times and talked about "adult beverages" which was funny but was kinda getting old. The crowd consisted of generally lots and lots of girls and gay guys... oh and the lesbian couple sitting in front of us with their Mom (who kept butting into our conversations which was weird but that's a different story..) but I was also surprised about how many old people there was! I swear we were surrounded by middle aged people or even older just watching and enjoying the show, ooor little kids with their parents. Kinda surprised considering some of her songs are kinda raunchy... come on now.. "I wanna see your peacock!"... yeah... lol
In the middle of the show she did "Katy Karaoke" and covered "Big Pimpin, Only Girl in the World, Friday, and Whip my Hair"
One of my favorite parts was actually when all her dancers danced a "Candy Medley"...
She ended the show with of course "California Gurls"! she was reunited with her baker boy and there were giant beach balls being thrown around, confetti spraying everywhere, gingerbread men dancing, and she topped it off with spraying the whole crowd with "whip cream" which I'm guessing was some sort of foam?
Nonetheless an awesome way to end the show, and you definitely feel like you've just experienced Katys world of cotton candy, cupcakes, glitter, fireworks, lasers, kittys and you seriously could not leave without thinking what an amazing production you just saw. Mad props to her and her team and girl actually has some pipes, she can really sing!! Super entertaining, I left with a smile on my face and completely deaf from all the screaming fans...
ps. I totally forgot how extremely loud fans can scream at a concert... or maybe I'm just getting old... o_O
I was only allowed to take my small point and shoot camera so I took some pictures and video zooming in as much as possible (our seats were on the lower level so kinda far away), but of course I lost my cord so I can't upload it onto my computer. But all these vids I got from youtube.. Thanks youtube!
Here are some behind the scenes footage of her show...

I love how she yells out "They deported my husband!" someone laughs and replies "No they didn't", shes says "Yes they f**king did!" lol they apparently did because of incidents from a decade ago, and later on her and her team do a group huddle before the show "To Japan and Immigration!" so funny.
