SPOILER
(Kalau nak surprise, jgn baca tau; kalau tak pergi konsert langsung, nak tau, baru baca, hehe, anyway aku ni tak pandai review, jenis Chinese fanatic jer)
Gold seat, pretty nice view.
It's almost 9pm, hall was almost fully-packed. "Dim the lights, and here we go..."
Setlist 1. Siti Situ Sana Sini + Jalinan Cinta
Started off with epic stage effects. Siti, with black-orange outfit, appeared from the middle of the hall and greeted VIPs on her way to stage. Audiences sang along "Hey Yeah" during intermission, but when Siti belted a high note, crowd went silent a bit, haha!
2. Kesilapanku Keegoanmu
Most requested song on Twitter/Instagram, Siti performed this for the first time (I think so) in a live show.
---
Siti introduced few artists who attended the show: Shila Amzah (pretty shy but cute), Ziana Zain (Funny imitation by Siti), Erra Fazira (gorgeous), Ezlynn (The HI HI BYE BYE ezlynn?), Faradhiya, Aishah AF, many more...Wonder why Ziana and Erra sit so far away from the VIP though.
---
3. Purnama Merindu + Nian Di Hati
Obviously the crowd favorites, scream! Purest vocal, just like studio recording, or even better, bonus for the fans!
---
Time for the band and musicians to expose themselves a while. Jamie Wilson, still playing for the team. Pat Ibrahim, the choreographer. Aubrey Suwito, my ALL-TIME favorite music arranger.
---
4. My Story (Medley)
Using few of her notable songs to introduce her 'story' in music career. Jerat Percintaan, her first single off her career after winning Bintang HMI RTM, again another vocal powerhouse. Next, her journey from KL to KL aka Kuala Lipis to Kuala Lumpur, she recorded this song straight after listening to the demo, Kau Mawarku. Love that Kau~Kau~Kau moment. A very short Aku Cinta Padumu followed by Percayalah. Then her love story began with Bukan Cinta Biasa, one of my all time favorite ballad. Kau Kekasihku, freaking good rocky melody, even better than the Royal Albert Hall version, listening to this live was just amazing! Seindah Biasa, little creative in the music arrangement, with some dancing, superb! Followed by Ku Mahu...Whatever challenges faced, Siti is still Siti, no one can deny her, that's Pendirianku. Siti was still pitch perfect, after such a long medley.
---
Break...not for long, probably just 1-2 minutes.
---
5. Sekian Lama
Now with green (her favorite colour) outfit, This song wasn't released as single years ago, but as an album track, it's awesome. And to have the privilege to listen to this live, what can i say?!
6. Muara Hati
Theme song for Adam & Hawa drama. It's solo, yeah without HAFIZ, no 'disturbance' haha! Crystal clear voice, Imma love you forever! Demi cinta, dalam hatimu, my favorite part. Siti inivited a guy to sing Hafiz's part during second chorus, not bad! Not forgetting the epic climax.
---
Q&A Session
Prince Aha Aha (name given by Siti, lol) asked: I'm sure you have been preparing a lot since the announcement of this concert. How do you maintain your stamina, I see lots of photos in Instagram...Standard answer from siti of course.
Jue & Ruby (they shouted a lot during concert, bahaha, somehow they became shy, and eventually asked no question, lol) Siti just sang Di Sini Ku Berjanji a little, 2 lines!!!
And guess what? They won themselves a lamp and a bag.Funnier thing: Prince Aha Aha, BRAVELY, in front of DATUK K said: With this lamp, I'm gonna dream of CT tonight when I sleep! And the crowd went wild! Probably one of the highlights of the evening. Jue & Ruby (the merajuk girl, lol) each asked for a selfie pic on stage.
---
7. Tanpa Kalian + Intrig Cinta
Ah, Tanpa Kalian my favorite song! Pretty surprised with Intrig Cinta too. Loved the stripped off version in the beginning. Still the captivating voice, I just melted...Intrig Cinta LIVE was good!
8. Stand Up + Remember You
Not gonna lie, better than studio version. Or was it the sound system too good? Just love everything going on so far. Glad that Stand Up was chosen over I Cry, cuz the former was the better track obviously. Was wondering if someone's gonna pop put and rap in Remember You. lol.
9. Just Give Me A Reason
YAY. Siti's favorite, so am I. And Hazama was the Asia's Nate Ruess. Bridge and Final chorus = good ending. Have to mention Aubrey Suwito again, he's just unbelievable.
---
Hazama to perform 1 song, not forget to mention, a pretty good Ramli Sarip imitator too. haha
---
10. Cindai + Nirmala
There came my favorite arrangement again from verse to chorus. America, hire Aubrey (and the team of course)! Nirmala has to be my all time favorite traditional track. I don't mind Siti bringing 2 traditional songs only, after all she has too many big hits.
---
Acknowledged the entertainment media URTV, Media Hiburan, Mangga, Hi! and bloggers Budi, Nurul etc...
---
11. New song (unknown title, not revealed)
A slightly dark song. Datuk K must be paying attention to the lyrics since it's related to him. Radio-friendly for sure, and a potential single. Yes I want the studio version now! This song will be included in her next album, scheduled to be released in mid year.
12. Biarlah Rahsia
Yeah Beb, the rock version! Heard this many times, and things get even better, better than ever, ROCK FEVER! Ku putuskannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.......Biarlah RAHSIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
---
Going to end, one last appreciation to sponsors, attendees...
---
13. Lebih Indah
The final, none other than the latest single. Dancers wearing Japanese costumes, if not mistaken, ideal for a music video I'd say.
A kiss from Siti to Datuk K, last goodbye wave from Siti...wrapped...bye! (Rushed to train station and headed home...)
**It's not just a charity concert...That's what I thought...Siti, I can't wait for your next album, come faster!!!

Rasa x puas hati dgn konsert ni, ct mcm x focus... Time kesilapanku keegoanmu lupa lirik yg sgt keta ...
aku rasa boleh dimaafkan utk kes kesilapanku keegoaanmu sbb lagu tu pun kali pertama dinyanyikan live stlh demand bertahun2 oleh peminat ct..
tgk gaya ct lupa disini ku berjanji, pun dh tau dia mmg jenis susah nak hafal lagu ballad yg dia pernah rakam sblm ni kecuali yg selalu dinyanyikan...
berbeza ngan konsert tradisional aritu mmg flawless gak dia hafal even lagu2 yg kurang popular (cth sulam sembilan, damak) pun dia dpt hafal ngan baik...
mgkn sbb passion ct betul2 pd lagu2 berentak tradisional/etnik...
Bila check balik....Kesilapanku Keegoanmu takde potong pun...aku yg salah...hehehe
Apapun paling ketara salah lirik ketika rangkap ke-2.
Besar kesilapanku besar lagi kesilapanmu
Hampa yang kau rasakan hampa lagi perasaanku
Kau cuba menyatakan aku
Menbuat kesilapan
Yang tak mungkin kau maafkan lagi
Ku tak mungkin kau perlu di sisi
Besar kesalahanku besar lagi keegoanmu - masa nie siti nyanyi kesilapanmu macam rangkap pertama
Berkali ku beri alasan berkali-kali kau menolaknya
Kau ingin ku menyatakan
Diri ini bagai lilin
Dan terbakar oleh perbuatanmu
