The Sweet Escape Tour 2007 - Singapore

The Sweet Escape Tour was smashing!!! Gwen Stefani is such a great performer - original, confident, outgoing, energetic and simply brilliant. I liked to see her strut around the stage with her little cha-cha steps. Everything about her is uniquely Gwen - her voice, her movements, the way she sings and even her Harajuku girls. It's no wonder she's one of the most famous and recognisable artistes around.

This was where we sat. Not very far from the stage, but it ain't that close either

The concert started with a bang with "The Sweet Escape" and followed by "Rich Girl". She sang a few more tracks before sending a wave of hysteria within the audience with "Hollaback Girl", which the word 'shit' was censored. Hahaha! "It's my *beep*, it's my *beep*.....this *beep* is bananas, B.A.N.A.N.A.S."

Not everyone is able to carry-off jailbird stripes like Gwen. Not even Paris (oh no, wait. Paris's was orange).

The concert climaxed when Gwen Stefani got the audience worked up during "Cool", where she ran towards the audience and started dancing and singing amongst us with only one bodyguard protecting her. Now that's what I call up-close and personal:

After a few more tracks, she disappeared for a few minutes and returned with three more tracks for the Encore. The concert ended with my favourite track (and MTV), "What You Waiting For?".

During the entire concert, I was bobbing, and clapping, and screaming, and dancing, and jiggling about so much, that I was tired and thirsty the whole time! Even my hands were sore and red from clapping too much. Bunny was enjoying herself tremendously and she even managed to catch a closer glimpse of Gwen by running down the aisle while she was singing with the audience.

Everyone left the Indoor Stadium humming her tunes all the way to the bus-stop. There was so much talk about the concert and this just goes to show how successful it was.

Last but not least: GWEN STEFANI ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF!!!
