chrisnajar Posted January 19, 2015 #1 Report Posted January 19, 2015 Well, first of all, hello! It's been ages ever since the last time I was here. I'm sorry guys, I am always super busy with my job, church, and daily activities. I am happy that my account is still working. If you read some of my stuff you know that I was opposed to the Vegas residency since day one. For non US residents Vegas is a somewhat expensive and difficult place to go to. When the M&G and its astounding cost was announced, I finally gave up on the idea of ever seeing Britney. As you all probably know, Mariah Carey (my other favorite artist) will run a residency in Vegas. A shorter one, but residence indeed. She promised a big announcement but since she is getting through a painful divorce (poor Mimi... I love you baby) I thought the announcement had to do with that... like retiring from the scene for some time. To my surprise, she announced a brief residence to fill the spot that Celine Dion is leaving for some time at Caesar's Palace. When I knew of this (less than a week ago) I felt a strong and sudden urgency to go to Vegas. When will I get the chance to have both Britney fucking Spears and Mariah fucking Carey together in the same place? It's like a total solar eclipse, or Halley Comet. Such things only happen once in your life, and you must respond by taking the opportunity and just go. I became an instant fan of Britney ever since I listened to Baby One More Time on the radio when I was washing my car in an afternoon back in 1998. I have all her albums and DVDs, and have loved her and defended her ever since. But before I ever knew of Britney, there was Mariah Carey, with at least 6 albums I knew very well when Britney came to the scene. Mariah Carey, Emotions, Music Box, Merry Christmas, Daydream and Butterfly were already in my shelf. I loved Mariah deeply, as I love her today. The dream became real for me when I got my tickets for both shows last Friday. I will see Britney on May 8th, and Mariah on May 10th. You guys have no idea the feelings I have right now. It's something magical and I will do my best to make the best of this trip. I am going to see my two girls, live, after these many years. It's unbelievable. This is definitely putting the cherry on top of the cake, because I am a metal guy who has seen his favorite bands playing in my homeland. Iron Maiden, Slayer, Green Day, Megadeth and Metallica just to name a few. BUT FINALLY, MARIAH CAREY AND BRITNEY SPEARS WILL BE REAL FOR ME. It took 17 years of loving Britney to finally see her. And 25 years after Mariah's debut to finally see her. A lot of time. I have been a silent voice stanning for these two women and they don't even know someone in Costa Rica loves them this much. I have a lot of planning and research to do in regards to hotels, accommodations and everything... but I have some little time ahead. So I will get to it in time. So Vegas, you win. Here I come. My two precious ladies await. I know that must of you probably don' give two fucks about this story. But I really wanted to share it with you guys. I came back to the forum just for that. Cheers !!! 4

GoCallThePolice Posted January 19, 2015 #10 Report Posted January 19, 2015 That's how I feel! Such happiness! You will blubber like a baby 1
chrisnajar Posted January 19, 2015 Author #11 Report Posted January 19, 2015 hey chris gald to see you around, yes finally u get to see the queens i hope u have fun and share pics and the experience, i went to vegas so i know a lot i've been there many times before so i you have any questions i'm glad to help I will probably have questions as the event draws near. One of the things I always wonder is whether we can take pictures and video with cell phones without having a gorilla kicking you out of the show. I have never been in a concert in the US so I have no freaking idea how things work there.
PrinceAli89 Posted January 19, 2015 #12 Report Posted January 19, 2015 Aww what an amazing story. I hope you have an amazing time at both shows! I too love both Britney and Mariah too. 1
chrisnajar Posted January 19, 2015 Author #13 Report Posted January 19, 2015 Which country are you from I live in Costa Rica. A very small country that goes unnoticed most of the times. Some Americans think of Costa Rica as "Puerto Rico". I don't know why. Britney came here in 2008 with Mel Gibson, she was in a private beach residence from Mel. She was in Guanacaste.
hyoga Posted January 19, 2015 #14 Report Posted January 19, 2015 I wish i would go too Good luck and i wish you the best, i know you'll enjoy it both Britney and Mimi
JoshLee Posted January 19, 2015 #15 Report Posted January 19, 2015 Welcome back!!! Also you're so lucky I wanna see Britney. Have fun and tell us how it goes when you get back!
Daydream, Mariah's fantasy Posted January 20, 2015 #16 Report Posted January 20, 2015 I'm so happy for you ! Britney and Mariah are my favorite artists as well ! I hope one day I'll be able to see 'em live too Have fun !!!
jojobritfan Posted January 20, 2015 #17 Report Posted January 20, 2015 Congrats!! It will be so worth it! I've seen Britney a few times, and I'll be seeing her twice in March. It's so surreal and pictures/videos do NO justice (which I know gets said a lot, but it's so true). I hope you have fun!
chrisnajar Posted January 20, 2015 Author #18 Report Posted January 20, 2015 Thank you all for such nice replies!! I was not expecting these many, you guys are pretty cool. It's still a long time for that... but yeah, I'll do my best to post some pictures if the gorilla does not screw my camera
Maria Spears Posted January 20, 2015 #19 Report Posted January 20, 2015 Wowww! Amazing story!! I hope you have a great time!!! 1
GlenCoco Posted January 20, 2015 #20 Report Posted January 20, 2015 I will probably have questions as the event draws near.

I have never been in a concert in the US so I have no freaking idea how things work there. yes actually i saw britney back on august, and yeah you can take pics and videos
Richie Posted January 20, 2015 #21 Report Posted January 20, 2015 flawless! Yes for us Latin American fans it gets hard to go to Vegas I don't have a job since I'm in university but maybe if britney extends her vegas residency I will get to see her! who knows, so I wish you have the best of times! enjoy it 1
chrisnajar Posted April 3, 2015 Author #22 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Guys, might be a stupid question... but I want some answers.. The SETLIST... how about it? Does it change every show, or every leg ? There are some particular songs that I would really LOVE to listen to... gems like 'Deep In My Heart' and 'I Will Be There' from BOMT (2 of my favorites of all time), 'Don't Go Knockin' On My Door', 'What U See Is What U Get', 'When I Found You', 'Before The Goodbye', 'Autumn Goodbye', 'Touch Of My Hand', 'Heaven On Earth', 'Mmm Papi' and of course 'Now That I Found You'. You know where I'm driving at. Not common singles or popular songs.. but those hidden gems we have in all her albums... do we get any of that in Vegas? 'I Will Be There' would totally make my whole trip worth the cost.
