ALICIA KEYS DOES DUBAI!

Friday morning, 

I got a flexible cast put on my broken foot.

Later that evening, 

John and I arrived bright and early at

Media City's Amphitheater

so we could stake out a good spot to listen to

ALICIA KEYS

in her Set The World On Fire concert! 

The evening was quite memorable!

First, a young man living in Dubai performed, 

after winning a singing contest.

I sure wish I could remember his name,

because he put on quite to show!

Then JASON DERULO took the stage.

Can that man move!

Finally, it was time for

ALICIA KEYS

to perform.  And did she ever perform!

John and I both agreed:

THIS.GIRL.IS.ON.FIRE.!!!!

And that's how 
ALICIA KEYS 
did Dubai!

JLO DOES DUBAI!!

WHAT A GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING...

(since we couldn't be with family - boo!)

JLO came to Dubai and

John and I 

went to JLO!

WOOHOO...we were pumped!

She performed in my favorite venue - 
Dubai Media City Amphitheatre!

Outside + delightful weather + perfect place =

PERFECTION!!
 

John and I were some of the first to arrive (of course)!

We got in line and waited, and waited, and waited!

Printed on the tickets were the words, "Doors Open at 6:00."

Well, someone needs to learn to tell time here in Dubai 

cuz those doors didn't open until after 7PM!

But we were still psyched!!

  

Once we FINALLY got inside we were 

literally packed in like sardines!

And there wasn't a seat to be found -- ugh!

But man, did we get a

 fabulous, close-to-the-stage, place to stand!

  

We stood for almost 4 hours before the show began.

But once it started, OMG, it was AWESOME!

 

JLO can certainly sing!

JLO can certainly dance!

JLO can certainly put on an unbelievable show!!

You know me....

and if I can say I loved every minute of JLO's performance,

(even after standing for OVER 5.5 HOURS),

you just know she was 

SUPERB!!  

Yes, JLO did Dubai and she did it well!
