Thousands of fans crowded the Mall of Asia Arena on June 17 to watch Britney Spears’ first concert in Manila. The Pop Princess’ ‘Piece of Me’ tour in Manila is long overdue since fans have been waiting for this to happen, since the release of Britney’s first International hit song, “Baby One More Time” (1998). The concert opened with Britney’s rendition of her 2013 hit song, “Work B*tch”. To complete her performance, the pop princess danced to the song while wearing a glittery gold costume.
Filipino fans, including celebrities, who joined the much-awaited event showed enthusiasm by dancing and singing along to her most popular tunes–complete with explosive and Britney-inspired outfits that include bright wigs and colorful high heels. The performances that followed showcased her showmanship as a total performer. This is despite many people’s allegation that she did the show lip-syncing.
One of the highlights of the concert was when she performed ‘Freakshow’ where she randomly picked a person from the audience. Then, that person was led to the stage with a harness and guided Britney to the center stage. That person received an autographed T-shirt from the Popstar. The Pop Princess also performed her hit songs like “Baby One More Time“, “Gimme More”, “Toxic”, “I’m a Slave 4 U”, “Piece of Me”, “Circus” and “Oops…I Did It Again!”.
Among the celebrities spotted at Britney Spear’s first concert in Manila are Vice Ganda, KC Concepcion, Maja Salvador, Ellen Adarna, Solenn Heussaff, Arjo Atayde, James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Billy Crawford, Coleen Garcia, Janine Gutierrez and LizQuen Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil.
