MANILA, Philippines – MOA Arena was packed with Team Breezy last night as fans eagerly waited for R&B bad boy, Chris Brown to hit the stage.
“Let’s turn this arena into a club”
A stunning light show starts, the crowd chants “Breezy” and Chris Brown starts off with dubstep-tinged X. The title track to his 2014 album is both emotionally-charged and assertive, with its catchy hook “I swear to God I’m moving on” pumping up the crowd. The song also sets the tone for the evening, as he claims he’s “not here to fight back, I simply came to party.”
The stage was ablaze as Chris Brown performed hit after hit from albums X, F.A.M.E. and Fortune. Serving up some throwback realness, he sang classic tunes from the ‘00s like Forever,Wall to Wall, Run It! and an acapella medley of Yo (Excuse Me Miss) and With You. A highlight of the concert was when he pleaded to the haters and sang an earnest rendition of Don’t Judge Me.
This right here is my type of party
Mr. Breezy showed off his breakdancing skills in a crazy dance-off with his crew after post-breakup anthem Deuces and the cheeky Strip. He then proceeded with crowdpleasers Look at Me Now, Yeah 3x and Turn Up the Music, his collaboration with DJ Deorro.
He also teased fans with newly-released single Liquor and sang hits New Flame, Ayo and Loyal from his collaborative album with Tyga, Fan of a Fan: The Album.
Chris Brown Live in Manila was presented by Boardworks Media and Pinnacle Live Concepts.
