"Ariana filled the mesmerizing affair with spectacular renditions of fan favorite, and even treated her Pinoy fans to a rare cover of performance."

There was a live video suddenly popped out on the LED backdrop showing Ariana Grande being interviewed about what she feels that night. Here's what she says that I remember:

"I want to give my fans the best night of their lives... and I think it should start with a countdown."

60 seconds of Countdown started and a lot of fans began shouting including me. I almost forgot to turn on my camera because of anxiousness so I quickly turned it on and focused through the stage . "8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1... " the fans followed.

BAM! A very beautiful Ariana Grande appeared suddenly onstage striking a pose displaying her sexy back. She is wearing her black outfit she usually wear on some of her tours. When she turn around to face the audience she started singing with a bombastic performance of Bang Bang. I was like oh my gosh! I'm gonna DIE!!!

Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute let me take you there (ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (ah)

I nearly lost my hearing sense through the undying squealing, screaming or even hyperventilating of the audience. When she sang her real part, the crowd got even wilder.

She might have let you hold her hand in school
But I'mma show you how to graduate.
No, I don't need to hear you talk the talk
Just come and show me what your Momma gave (Oh yeah)
You've got a very big shh
Mouth but don't say a thing
See anybody could be good to you,
You need a bad girl to blow your mind...

If you would ask me, well I'm not screaming. I'm crying inside for Petesake! Any minute I might faint, I was starstrucked. The camera I was holding literally shakes while I'm recording My Queen which gracefully performs on stage. You can't blame me for acting like this because I'm longing for this moment to come. And now here it is, the most awaited concert in my life. My best birthday present ever (Aug19's my birthday) that I will never forget for the rest of my existence.

I turned my head at the chubby lady beside me. And softly said,"Ate ( ah-teh Filipino word for older sister). I'm ready to die." She just giggled at me. Okay another friendship built up.

The show is very entertaining, to say the least. Ariana did not need any extravagant stage design - her vocals as her instrument and her undeniable stage presence were more than enough to punctuate her Manila tour a resounding success.

The first song continues until the second one Hands On Me started. I was like ohh, I memorized the lyrics of this song!

So I sang along and rapped also to the part of A$AP Ferg and bangs my head to the beat. Some artist who collab with Ari appears on the LED too.

Next songs are the soulful Best Mistake and Break Your Heart Right Back which I memorized as well.

'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shining
Stars fall, and the world goes blind boy
You know, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you
'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made
But we hold on, hold on

I felt happiness.♥

Then, for the celebration of girl power and tribute to soul legend Chaka Khan and the Queen of Pop, Madonna. Ariana powerfully sang through a mash-up of their respective hits, I'm Every Woman and Vogue.

Be My Baby was the next song and God, Ariana doesn't even sang but rapped just as well.

I'll give you all of my trust
If you don't mess this up
You ain' tryna get no other girls
When you in the club
All you got is eyes for me
I'm the only girl you see

If you know how to be my lover
Maybe you can be my baby
Hold me close under the covers
Kiss me boy and drive me crazy.

Right There, The Way and Baby I was my favorite songs on her first album "Your's Truly" and I can't stop smiling all the time, especially the next song which is Tattooed Heart. Magically, the crowd lights up and slowly waves their saberlights and cellphone leds following the sweet warm tune of the song.

Wrap me in your jacket
My baby
And lay me in your bed
And kiss me, underneath the moonlight
Darling let me trace the lines on your tattooed heart

She's so sweet, I can't ugh. Please rip my eyes. Haha

Tattooed heart
Tattooed heart
Tattooed heart
Tattooed heart
Tattooed heart
Tattooed heart

Just as long as I'm the name on your tattooed heart.

"I love you Ariana!" I said with tears almost brimming on my lids.

After the song finished, Ariana asked the crowd;
"How are y'all feeling tonight?"

I was beyond happy, I mouthed.
Omg, her dimples was showing I can't help it so I start to scream too. She was responded by a thunderous wall of sound, the Arianators.
