Review:
Starting out when she was a mere 13 years old, BoA
demonstrates how she’s come a long way since
her debut years. She’s definitely not the young
lady she used to be, yet she still retains all her
radiance since day one.
The concert opens with a slew of strange people in
bizarre costumes walking up and down the aisles while
lasers emit around the arena. While everyone is busy
gawking at these weirdo’s, a dark silhouette
begins to appear on stage behind a thin curtain whilst
a haze of smoke flutters around her. The veil drops
and BoA reveals herself sporting her black biker outfit
and the show begins! Get ready for BoA at her best!
As the thousands of fans begin waving their glow sticks
around, she begins to perform one of her top hits
“Listen To My Heart.” Production values
for this concert are pretty good. Lights, lasers,
and pyrotechnics are used well and effectively to
give the show a pure sense of fun and entertainment.
Sets for the stage are set up fairly well and showcase
some very intricate set designs every now and then.
Occasionally, there are just some plain sets consisting
of black bars and and steps. That’s fine though
since they aren’t the major part of the stage.
There is one segment of a performance that is simply
astounding. BoA jumps into a giant televised screen
in the background and proceeds to dance. Her dancing
partner shows up and the two switch off back and forth
“battling” the other, whichever is in
the screen and vice-versa.
Starting
her career, she started as a very young and talented
girl. Through the years, BoA has grown and changed
into a stunning young woman. She has kept her same
signature style while throwing in a new flare vocally
and visually. Her singing and dancing have vastly
improved beyond her former days. Her singing packs
a certain power, and her moves now encompass an indescribable
“oomph.”
Throughout the course of the concert performance,
BoA changes into different outfits more times than
I change my clothes during a typical week. For the
concert, she performs some of her newer songs from
her Valenti album. Starting from some harder more
energizing tracks, she brings the concert to a slower
pace and quickly brings it back to a refreshing set
of fast and furious songs. Stopping only to introduce
her band members and her dancers, BoA practically
never stops performing for her audience. Rounding
out the concert, she performs some of her older more
popular songs from her earlier days. Back are the
familiar moves that she showcased on her first appearance
on SBS years ago, the trademarks of her hit song “ID:
Peace B.” Finishing up the concert, she gives
a truly heartfelt and emotional performance of a ballad
entitled “Every Heart.” When all is done
and through with, BoA, with tears of happiness streaming
down her cheeks, and her team of dancers and musicians
bid farewell to her fans and audience. The words,
“See you Next World” appear on the giant
screen behind them, signifying the release of the
next album. Til then, BoA has left a lasting impression
on me and many of her fans world-wide, and we’ll
definitely be seeing her “Next World.”
