Saturday night, May 10th 2008, will go down as one of the most memorable nights of mylife. A concert that my bestfriend, Karyn, and I had been waiting for for almost 10 years, finally happened. Westlife came to New Zealand! At 8pm, thousands of people gathered in the Auckland Vector Arena, New Zealand, waiting with anticipation, for Westlife to appear on the stage and sing our favorite songs. And Karyn and I were, of course, one of those people.
Sitting in row 13, we chatted to the blonde lady sitting next to us, Renee. She shook as she told us that she had just met Westlife! We couldn't believe it! She told us all about meeting them, and getting signatures from them. Karyn and I were so jealous! But, the night is still young...
Excitement built up in our stomachs as the lights dimmed in the arena. Screams started roaring in the stadium, coloured spot lights beamed and bass beats drummed. A large curtain appeared on the stage, and purple lights shone on it. We could see tour slim shadows behind the curtain, and suddenly... "WHAT! Like HOW! Like WHO! Hit you with the real thing!" The curtain dropped, and our four Irish boys appeared just 30 metres in front of us! Everybody screamed. The opening of the show was breath-taking.
The first person to say their greetings was Kian. We all wondered if Kian would say Hello New Zealand, or would he be personal enough to say Auckland. "Hello Auckland!" Kian shouted. "How's everybody feeling tonight, alright?" Kians four best words from every dvd. The crowd screamed with excitement! During one of the songs, Nicky gave us his signature salute. We've watched all the Westlife DVDs to know that Nicky does the best salutes, and here he was, saluting at us! It just made me melt.
Shane sang Mandy, and at the end of the song, where the words were "You came and you gave without taking, I need you today, oh Mandy." He sang "I need you to day, oh Auckland"! Mark was pretty cute too. I especially liked it when Nicky was saying "hey Mark, these girls wanna take you to their place tonight" and shyly, Mark said, "I think it's time for another soooong!" and Nicky laughed.
Saturday night was the best night of my life so far. I still can't believe they were really there, standing in front of us, talking, singing and laughing to us!
I bought a westlife T-Shirt (which I plan to frame and put up on my wall) and a Westlife program. In the program, each of the boys wrote a message, in their own handwriting, thanking everybody. At the end of Nicky's message, he wrote "le grā, go deo - Nicky". It was Spanish, and it meant "with love, forever - Nicky". He said with love forever to us!
