Can’t deny these facts -
✨They were the first homegrown Filipino boy group to perform there. Periodt.
✨The mics were on and they were hot.
✨They sang live and whilst doing all out choreography. Was it perfect? No. But I personally rather not see perfection. I want them to sweat, see their neck veins popping, see them remove articles of clothing. See make up running. Hear their voices falter while they move. Hear their voices soar while still. See them human who can still deliver seemingly perfect routines and make them appear flawless. And they did. They made sure they did the work. I got my money’s worth.
✨It was scorchingly hot. As a fan just jumping up and down, I was sweating my ass off quite literally. Imagine them doing waaay more while wearing what they were wearing while facing the sun. Yet they still delivered.
✨Their set was in the mid afternoon. At a smaller stage. They weren’t the headliners. Yet they drew the crowds in. A’tin came in full force but we were definitely outnumbered. There are several videos showing a mass exodus of fans walking past their stage towards the end. Some continued on their way but some definitely stopped and watched their set. We can’t fake that kind of organic encounter. No one forced them to stay. They stayed on their own accord.
We got nothing to prove especially to those who weren’t there. Especially to those with agendas you can smell the stink of a mile away. Focus on the boys and remember how they did us proud. This was all just a pipe dream before. But through their sheer talents, guts, and A’tin, we are all here and we made it happen. There are so much to be grateful for and there are still plenty to do. Let’s zone in on those. Let’s continue the momentum of lolla together. ❤️🔥
