doors were still not open! But okay. I was at least not cold, with all those people around us =).
While we were crushed, we got to talking with a mother and daughter (mother was a big fan of Enrique and daughter thought it would be fun to go.) so it was also enjoyable despite pushing. And pushing everyone! Finally, they want to open the doors so people start pushing again, but this time harder. Pfff! So what does that man behind the fences say: GIRLS (yes especially girls!) PUSH NOT OTHERWISE WE THROW THE GATES CLOSE AGAIN! They stops pushing but suddenly they starts again. But it was not that bad! And all with all we eventually came in. First bag check and we got bracelet with Golden Circle on it! Only little saddened that the man was messing around with my bracelet!…So annoying, which I said “come on I want to go in!” The man laughed very challenging. But I didn’t paid attention … by the bag checking, my bottle cap should be removed otherwise i could not take it inside (weird!)!!!!!! But bad luck than, drink immediately. Once inside and I was quite little in panic because Carolien and I ask ourselves: “Where the heck must we in for the Golden Circle? It was a maze! … Fortunately, there was ultimately only one entrance where everyone had to pass and that was open. Normal plots were already bunched full, Golden Circle was not too bad … Unfortunately, everyone of course, already standing at the fences! But o my god, there was a little space were standing only one row of people!
YES! I thought I stand still for!! (Well almost!) Our side was pretty quiet but after half hour you must not walk backwards. But oh my freaking god! We had such an amazing view!!
Then finally start the program, but it was the worst ever (my opinion) … Jim Bakkum!!!!!!! How could they do as a support act for Enrique … well the better what would come after him! Jim began to sing and BAM! Oh my. What a booster! Shooter my hair up! It was funny but it gives me quite a headache. Couple days ago, I bought these little ear buds, I FORGET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha how stupid am I? program lasted for at least a half hour !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrr you can imagine how I irritated myself! He had such an annoying voice … at a moment he says: “You all appear for the amazing Enrique …” everybody screams of course while he says also: “but who have also come for me?” you heard a few people saying out loud “yeah!” “So not much” he says. That moment I shout “Go away from the stage!!” Then he did a last song … omfg no! Finally he was gone. But it still took over a half hour before Enrique appeared on stage. The music began slowly working on my nerves. Carolien and I had our cameras ready-for-action in our hands. Meanwhile the big camera crew prepared themselves. (Everything was filmed and will come out on DVD. And goes global! Yes!!!!) The music started again but this time a familiar sound, there were texts behind the white curtain, now he can come at any moment…. Exciting!! Music went faster and faster, the crowd get insane, and then…. silence for 3 seconds… BAM there falls the curtain! Everyone went crazy!!!!! Literally! This was such a great moment … 2 girls fainted. what?! it just start for 2 seconds! I'm just getting even deafer because of all that screaming! So thought “what the hell” I scream as loud as them! No much louder!!
Just great! So I can say that we had the best place, I and the girls around me! So I had nothing to complain!! They set white chairs down on the stage where a singer and some musicians of the band sat down, Enrique said, when they asked where his concert for the DVD would be filmed with praise saying that he wanted to do that here in the Netherlands, Rotterdam. Because we are just the best audience! What luck! After a while he walked to the middle and looked around the audience there, and asked, “Who wants to come with me on the stage?” everyone got completely crazy!!!!!!! Everyone wanted of course. He picked two people (boy and girl) and referred them to the white chairs behind him on the stage. He sits there with them and asked them some things. The boy said his name but Enrique had trouble pronouncing his name which was very funny. Enrique asked if they were a couple but they were actually brother and sister. So everyone was laughing (aw peer Enrique! Lol) Enrique asked the two if they had a song that they want him to sing. He asked the boy, the boy had to think very long, on that asked Enrique if he actually knew any song of him. (He didn’t! XD). Then he asked the girl, she said immediately HERO! of course I knew it … This is a special act, so he was not going to do that , but he teased a bit and looked back at his musician and said “why, she is now ruing it all!” everyone in stitches. The brother says “aah do it for her” Enrique said “okay” but he didn’t stand up! However, he laid his head on the lap of the girl, it seemed as if she didn’t had anymore or if she would faint any minute! But she was able to restrain herself! He sang four complete lines and chopped off, and said okay guys serious now. Say a song. Any song! Like the boy finally said one, quite old (not Enrique’s, Stand By Me), almost everyone knew it so we sang along!
They eventually went back and the show went on and again he came our way! And when he walked away I looked between the two girls who stood by me. I totally scared the hell out I looked straight into the spotlight of a big camera! I turned me back to where Enrique was! After a few songs I heard a very familiar tune, the tune of Hero and everyone went nuts! Because this was the moment! He will take someone out the audience! It took a while; I could not see anything so I just watched them on screen that I almost couldn’t see either! But I saw what at least something. A girl who stood next to me was crazy and yelled “come over here! Hell I want!” I thought girl shut up, everyone wants on that freak in stage with him! But this side of the audience has just bad luck!! Be just happy that he so often came to us! Suddenly we heard a loud scream so we knew he had found someone. It was a blond girl (as usual, when he is in Holland he always chooses a blond girl!) which the girl behind me said, you had to come over here, and brunettes are much nicer. So here is a hint to all girls: next time when you go, coloring your hair into blond =D … Of course, I regretted it too, at least I enjoyed the show and that was most important to me! Everyone went crazy when he stood very close to her and I thought oh come on people act normally! But it was a cool effect haha haha.

And then we had also the guitarist, which was very often on our side and we waving to him and waved back and with a big smile on his face all the time! They were great musicians the rest of the show was paired with confetti that was shot, fire and balloons what went through the music hall and kept on going because everyone threw them back up! This was a really nice effect.
It was a CHAOS to get outside again! I was half deaf and I pulled it Carolien with me! Fortunately we were quickly out in the car, we saw someone with amazing posters! Carolien immediately left the car leads and bought 2 posters!
One for her and one for me (thank you girl). I’m certainly one hour after I still enjoyed about the whole show! It was a day to never forget (for sure the time of my life haha). I cannot wait until this show comes out on DVD! And his next concert in Ahoy, I will be there for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*********************************
NL!!!
Maandag vroeg op weg naar Rotterdam voor Enrique Iglesias concert in Ahoy.
we waren er al om half 4, was toen al aardig druk. er stonden 2 rijen, voor de Golden Circle (voor ons dus) en de gewone. De gewone stond al bomvol. in de rij zaten nog mensen op de grond, half uurtje later ineens IEDEREEN STAAN.






Alleen beetje jammer dat die man zo zat te klooien met me bandje waarop ik zeg kom op schiet op wil naar binnen! man lacht me gwn uit maar goed...
bij tassen controle word me flesje eruit gehaald

pech dan maar ff meteen opdrinken. eenmaal binnen werden ik en carolien best wel beetje panisch want where the heck moesten we naar binnen voor die Golden Circle?! ... nou gelukkig maar 1 ingang! normale staanplaatsen waren al propvol




maar DAMZ! wat een goed zicht hadden we!!!!
toen begon het ergste (mijn mening dan) het voor programma... JIM BAKKUM!!!!!!! hoe konden ze dit als voorprogramma voor Enrique doen...


Jim begon met zingen en BAM!!! wat een bas hee!!! me haren shoten overeind! opzich wel grappig maar kreeg er wel best hoofdpijn van


voorprogramma duurde wel een half uur!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrr je kan je wel voorstellen hoe ik me ergde! wat een irrietante stem heeft die gozer... op een gegeven moment zegt hij: "jullie komen allemaal voor Enrique..."iedereen juigen en gillen natuurlijk "maar wie zijn er ook voor mij gekomen" je hoorde maar een paar mensen yeah roepen!


eindelijk hij was weg



De muziek begon weer maar dit keer een bekend geluid, er kwamen teksten achter het doek (witte doek) hij kon ieder moment te voorschijn komen... exciting!!!! Muziek ging sneller en sneller, en toen.... stil... BAM daar ging het doek! iedereen ging uit zijn plaat!!!!! letterlijk! dit was zo een geweldig moment... ik ondertussen nog meer doof! dus dacht ach krijg wat ik gil net zo hard mee! nee harder!!!! licht ging aan en daar stond hij! doodstil


volgende nyummer bleef hij nog even in het midden staan, en kwam onze kant op! ik stond al te filmen ofcourse, en hij kwam dichterbij dichterbij en ineens voor ik het wist stond hij pal voor ons neus en kwam nog dichterbij door van het podium af te springen en kwam op een verlaging terecht! ik werd zwaar geplet door de menigte! maar het kon me niets schelen!!!



er werden witte krukjes neergezet op het podium waar een zangeres en wat muziekanten van de band bij gingen zitten, enriqeu vertelde toen hem werd gevraagd waar hij zijn concert voor de DVD wilde laten filmen met vol lof zei dat hij dat hier in nederland, Rotterdam wilde doen. Want wij zijn tenslotte het best publiek!



hij zong wel 4 hele zinnen en kapte af, en vroeg oke jongens even sirieus nou, noem een nummer. uiteindelijk zei de jongen een leuk nr best wel oud (niet van enrique, sorry weet titel niet meer

uiteindelijk gingen hun weer terug en ging de show verder en weer kwam hij onze kant op! en toen hij wegliep keek ik even tussen de 2 meiden door waar ik achter stond! ik schrok me helemaal rot ik kijk recht in die grote kijker van een camera!!! ik draai me gauw terug en wen me weer tot Enriqeu die verderop nu was!!!
paar liedjes later klonk een heel bekend deuntje, het deuntje van Hero en iedereen ging weer uit zijn plaat! want dit was het moment! hij ging iemand uit het publiek halen! en duurde wel even, ik kon niets zien





tuurlijk ook ik baalde wie niet ahum





de rest van de show ging gepaart met confettie die afgeschoten werd, vuur, BALLONNEN! die door de zaal gingen en maar bleven gaan want iedereen gooide ze weer omhoog! dit was echt een mooi effect.
het was een CHAOS om weer buiten te komen! ik was half doof



ik heb zeker nog een uur naa zitten genieten van de show. Het was zeker een dag om nooit meer te vergeten (time of my live haha) en kan niet wacthen tot hij op DVD uit komt!
