I went to their NY concert! It was great! My friend recorded the whole thing except the encore performance (her camera ran out of space) but I managed to take some pics.

Try to type in Wonder Girl's World Tour on Youtube. There are some clear videos of the concert. My pictures aren't great b/c we were in back of the concert hall up in the balcony.

My friend and I decided to make a weekend out of visiting New York using the concert as a great excuse only to find out later that the Boston date was confirmed after a few months. It wasn't much of a problem since my friend kept saying she wanted to visit the Chinatown to shop. We're both Asian young women crazy about Asian culture but Boston doesn't have much for our obsession. Fastforward to the concert two hours before the actual starting time. We were trying to look for the Hammerstein and succeeded in finding it after accidentally stumbling upon it. The long line full of Asian girls kind of tipped us. Most likely they were there for 2pm as well. When they finally let us in, they searched our bags and confiscated my drink and umbrella.

We waited in our seats. Like geeks, we decided to take pictures of us with the bright logo Wonder Girls World Tour in the background. I saw some people buying souvenirs so I decided to go and buy souvenirs (mostly so I could do something besides waiting and stupidly left my ticket in my bag with my friend. I bought a T-shirt, two posters, a keychain and a photobook/CD combo. I only got a poster and keychain for myself; the rest was for my friend. I discovered my ticket was missing though luckily I still had my receipt from buying my tickets online. The security guards there were so nice despite stealing my umbrella. I got back to my seat and frantically searched my totebag (the end of the night; I discovered the ticket in my other bag). Their manager JYP came out and were like: "Will you help us make Wonder Girls the first successful Asian artist in America?" Of course, us fans were cheering.

After that, the stage goes dark again, this Miley Cyrus type singer came on as an opening act for 2 PM. I kind of forgot her name but I joked to my friend: "What's Miley Cyrus doing here?" She sang a bunch of cliched club dancey songs (they weren't bad songs but her singing's ok). The Korean boyband 2 PM came on and the girls started to go wild. I will be frank and say that I'm not a huge fan so I was patiently watching them perform. As they were talking after one song, a packet flew past one of the boy's head. One of them went: "Whoa, please don't throw things at us." Basically, they were saying things like: "We're glad to be in New York. blah blah blah One of our members couldn't be here because he's sick. I hope he gets better."

Their English was pretty good (then again, I think some of them were originally from America). After their performances were over, I became somewhat of a fan. At one point, I could hear girls screaming behind me: "Take your shirt off!" I had no idea but apparently they took their shirts off a lot (kind of like Taylor Lautner I guess). Anyway, the stage goes black again, from up where I was sitting, I could see blue glow sticks on the ground floor. The ground floor didn't have seats (those lucky bastards got to see their faces clearly). A screen goes down to cover the stage as the crew was setting up the stage for the Wonder Girls.

The silouhettes of the girls with their names appear on the screen. The song "I Wanna" comes on and the screen goes up showing us the main attraction of the night. Here's where my memory is fuzzy because I kept messing with my camera trying to take good pictures; most of them turned blurry. Also, because my memory isn't very good. I'll just sum it up to them sang a few selected Korean songs, some English songs like Survivor by Destiny's Child, Dontcha and Stickwitu by Pussycat Dolls and of course their hit songs like So Hot, Nobody and Tell Me. Most of them were sang in English. The Nobody song was sang in an R&B remix and they were dancing on chairs for that performance.

I was disappointed I wanted to see their original Dream Girls type performance. It turned out they saved that for the encore. After they sang Survivor in these sort of black top and long red dress, the girls get off stage except for Hye Lim (the newest member) and says things about the other girls asking "What do you know about me?" The fans cheered, not exactly sure if they were saying something bad. Then she begins to sing "Lipgloss" by Lil Mama. After her performance, each girl sings their solo songs. I only remember So Hee did Beyonce's "Single Ladies" with two of her on the screen behind her dancing along with her and pretty sure Yubin did "Boom Boom" by Black Eyed Peas. Seriously, there's a full clip of this on Youtube. Search for Wonder Girls World Tour.

At near the end of the concert, they yelled for everybody to stand up and do the Tell Me dance with them (Here's where I should mention there was a huge travelling bag underneath my leg space carrying all our shopping so I couldn't join in unless I wished to fall on my neighbor). Actually, only a small portion of the crowd underneath us did the dance. The others just stood there. They sang Tell Me in English. After that, they went off stage saying good-bye.

The screen goes: Do you want more Wonder Girls? Then scream Wonder Girls. We did it except my friend. She's the type to just sit there. The younger girls behind us just flat out screamed. Then the screen tells us to scream again and says "You're not loud enough." So the crowd screams even louder. The Wonder Girls come out in their Nobody outfits, the shiny dresses. I was singing along while my friend sort of shakes her head in amusement. The girls bow down saying Thank you over and over again. By the way, there will be more shows in NY. They walk down the stairs and the crew point them to the exit and they wave once more. After it was officially over, we went back to the hostel to pick up our stuff.

I most likely left a lot of stuff out. My favorite song of the night was of course their famous hits like Nobody, So Hot, Tell me and 2 Different Tears. I was disappointed that they decided to sing other artist's songs mostly because I expected more Korean content. Although, my friend was right since they are trying to break into America; it would be better to sing more in English. I thought everybody's singing was good though So Hee, my most favorite wasn't up to par on her singing at times. I could spot one girl being slightly clumsy in their dance moves. Curiously, it was one of the more simpler dance moves that she was clumsy in. They seemed to be better at faster hip hop type of dancing. Hye Lim didn't disappoint. I know how people likes to diss her since Sun Mi's departure.

That's the best I could do. Sorry. My accounts always seem to be more about me than the actual event. I'll post pics once I figure out how to upload them on my slow ass computer.

Thank you for posting the photos!!! I love the sea of cameras. I'm assuming JYP didn't mind? The poster is nice, too! I love the look, sound, and theme of 2 Different Tears. Another win for JYP and the Wonder Girls!
