CT Nurhaliza Fantasia Tour 2004

I would have given this event a skip if not for Boywonder’s VIP invitation card. I caught her performance three times already – Hiburan Miggu Ini (HMI) – pop, traditional (dress code – traditional costume) and Hari Raya Special; all which I enjoyed very much but mama said, “Too much of a good thing is no good for you". Siti is sweet but after awhile she gets disgustingly sweet. Thousands of fans thronged the fiesta site at Bukit Jalil Stadium before the concert – Maxis Hotlink, Kelisa, Samsung, Astro etc. Visited CT Nurhaliza booth – selling souvenirs items like a range of gaudy T-shirt called C-Tee (pronounced as Siti, of course) and tea – her very own tea bags called C-Tea (Yes…Siti again..Everybody repeat after me,…Siti….) What will be her next range of product, I wonder? Toilet Seat-ee? Ahaks! The show started quite late. I was falling asleep at the so-called VIP seats, which was way way way far from the stage. Most of the CT pictures were snapped on the giant screen. I was very far from the stage that she look as big as a safety pin.The opening acts were the groupies from Akademia Fantasia 1 and 2. Didn’t give a toot on their performance. Didn’t get the “demam”. Siti emerged with her horrible pink drapes at 9:40pm (very very late for a concert!). with two fast numbers – Cahaya Seribu Like and Debaran Cinta followed with some of her slow hits. I left the show early after her monstrous hit, Aku Cinta Padamu – done in several beats -waltz, dangdut (she tried to shake her booty but she was no dangdut queen, Amelina) and jazz. Interesting but not enough to keep my butt glued to the seat. She offered nothing new in terms of her vocal, wardrobe and showmanship. Thanks to her sponsors that this concert was free.
