"Manila Dreams" Came True
Around 25,000 people from all walks of life were lucky enough to watch one of the most awaited concerts in our country last Sunday, January 22, 2012. But the crowd's excitement of seeing Katy Perry belt out her chart-topping hits from her album, mostly from the album Teenage Dream almost died when the popstar appeared two hours late. You read it right, two freakin' hours without explanation or apology even from the concert promoters. Even the opening act of DJ Skeet Skeet did not make the crowd forget that they were waiting too long for the concert to start. But Filipino fans are forgiving. All were thrilled when Katy finally appeared. Indeed, Manila Dreams is coming true at that time.
Aside from watching Katy performed the 15-song set list, people are entertained with the short videos projected in four LEDs, two of them are on the stage decorated with pink cotton candy clouds, about the Alice in Wonderland-Cinderella-esque adventure of a girl named Katy. The crowd was laughing as they watch Katy desperately looking for her lost cat, Katy Purry. While in search for her cat in a colorful world filled with candies and cupcakes, she met the boy of her dreams, Baker's Boy.
Katy Cats were not disappointed when Katy sang ten songs from her Teenage Dream album. Everybody was hyped as she opens with “Teenage Dream”, followed by another upbeat song, “Hummingbird Heartbeat.”
But the crowd is not the only one who enjoyed the concert, Katy herself was having a good time performing for her Filipino fans. The popstar shared on her Twitter account that part of her California Dreams Concert is to get a male volunteer and kiss him on stage and that lucky guy will also have the chance to kiss Katy. The lucky guy called on stage was the ex-PBB Teen Edition Clash Housemate, Ivan Dorschner. See the video below.

Girls in different age, boyfriends, teenage boys, and even parents who accompanied their kids danced as Katy performed her party anthem “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)” and sang along as the lyrics of “E.T” was projected in LEDs.
Local celebrities were spotted during the concert. KC Concepcion was enjoying the concert with her sister Cloie Syquia; Survivor Castaway, KC Montero; singer Jed Madela, and Mr. Funny Guy, Ramon Bautista were among them.
The stage was decorated with sweet stuffs such as lollipop, cotton candy, and cupcakes surely gave the Katy Cats toothache. But these sweets cannot conceal the sexual allusions especially when she performed “Peacock.”
The other songs that she performed were “Waking Up in Vegas”, “Ur So Gay”, “I Kissed A Girl”, and “Hot n Cold”. Katy's backup singers also had their moment when they sang Aaron Carter's "I Want Candy" mashed-up with Kelis' "Milkshake".
Katy also performed heart-felt ballads such as “Not like the Movies” and the acoustic version of her latest single, “The One Who Got Away.” For the last two songs, the crowd sings along with Katy's two most loved songs, “Firework,” complete with stage effects and “California Gurls.”
Katy Perry really rocked Manila with her singing prowess and brilliant performance. Two thumbs up, Katy! You fulfilled every Katy Cats' dreams that Sunday night.
