Hillsong United Live!

Something out of the ordinary cocktail functions, I went to a Christian rock band concert. Hillsong United came to Kuala Lumpur. This band hails from Australia. http://hillsongunitedkl2008.blogspot.com. I didn’t mind paying RM50 for this concert.

This very night, I realised how much older I have become, having the lack of energy and enthusiasm of jumping up and down to their fast songs. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying their performance was boring. In fact, it was really fun, energising and entertaining. The 3000 crowd screamed like mad at their every move. I just found myself sitting at one corner occasionally.

Maybe because it isn’t the weekend and it’s a Tuesday right after work.

Everyone went crazy. I could not really hear the singers’ voice except for their first line in every song. The crowd’s cheers and singing drowned the main performers’ voices. If there weren’t lyrics for people to sing to, this would not happen. However, this was a Christian concert and it is supposed to be like this.

Everyone cheered for the band while they sang. There was this guy who had the same personality onstage as David Cook, while the other pretty petite girl had a big voice. She wore a pair of flip-flops which I thought was very significantly Aussie.

To be honest, I couldn’t really relate to the songs because I haven’t been to church that regularly in these few years, so the songs were unfamiliar to me. In fact, alot of them sounded pretty much the same. I guess I grew up with Planet Shakers.

Nonetheless I had alot of fun. Hillsong United Live! In Kuala Lumpur was hosted by Youth Alive Malaysia.

There were just too many people and at the end of the concert, many just sat down to relax, wait for other cars to move out and eventually leave the venue. Can you spot www.splashmilk.com?

The group. Overall, I had fun, it was good to see so many youths involved and enjoying themselves going crazy at the concert. They had good spirit. Good job to the organisers. Great venue, great lighting, great usherers. Thanks Sandra www.vmxartist.com for sourcing the ticket for me.
