A few videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA-YrDtghbwwww.youtube.com/watch?v=i0ZgA8_EFRsYou should have the option of watching in high quality soon because I filmed this at a very high resolution. The dancers were supplied by the mall and ... well, they were crap. They're ok on these vids, but when he did Bo Rap and We Are the Champions, it was clear that they hadn't rehearsed and didn't know what to do and were litterally just flailing around and giggling. It was a stark contrast to the way MiG was - very professional, as with every time I've seen him. I was MORTIFIED right before he sang We are The Champions - he started by talking about the Olympics and said something like "this song should be sung at the Olympics" and I said "One Big Sky!" but not very loudly. Unfortunately, we made eye contact just at that moment and he asked me to repeat myself (he was speaking into the mike and still in the middle of the floor). I said ... "One Big Sky?" wanting to melt into the floor. He made a good joke and moved on. When he said "We are the Champions" I had a real <headsmack> moment. There might be another video up later. I was uploading it and my houseguest came home (who is sleeping in my computer room) so I just left the computer on. I can't remember what song it was and whether I marked it as Public or Private. Toni, I have a few shots of people from the m-m.com forum, but I don't think from here. I didn't see KY until the end, but there are some young girls holding up signs who post(ed) on mm.com and who were very enthusiastic. I also saw a few people from the stage door in HK and in Bangkok, and in a typical HK way we exchanged business cards, lol. jvd, Thanks so much! Awesome work! You're so thoughtful to do this for us. #thyourock# #thyourock# #thyourock# One Big Sky would be an excellent song for the Olympics. Mary Beth and Toni have said that too, so it's a popular opinion. I think it's great you said that - you probably made MiG feel really good hearing that one of his original songs would be perfect for the Olympics! Thanks again for all the time you spent on the pics and vids, and for posting them so quickly, jvd!

What great vids JVD!(Do you have another real name you would rather be called?) I'm Mary Beth. You were so right about those dancers. they were very distracting because of their lack of preparation but MIG looked and sounded great on the first one wiht Let Me Entertain You. The crowd really loved him and it looked like a really good turnout. The other Vid of OSAAT-OMG That song is so beautiful and I was so glad there were no dancers. Don't feel bad about the shout out. One Big Sky should definitely be an Olympic theme. Toni and I have told MiG that more than once. I just wish we knew someone who would listen to the suggestion Thanks for letting us share in the gig with your pics and vid. You're awesome!

I have to echo the kudos everyone else is giving you for posting those vids and pix of MiG so soon after the gig. For us it's still th 10th so it can be a little disconcerting to see something posted from the day we're in when it's already early a.m. of tomorrow in HK...Thank you so much for thinking of us and posting those vids and pix and the recap. WOW.

Thanks, everyone. Just to add, he also did "Kiss from a Rose", which I didn't film. (I danced with my boy, lol). I'm at work now and can't upload anything else, but will try more tonight.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but I will anyway. If you haven't already rated or commented on the "let me entertain you" clip, could you please do so in the next few hours? It's at #4 and #5 for most talked about and highest rated on youtube (in Hong Kong) today. I would love for one of Mig's gigs to be #1! (Sorry for the spam.)
Marybeth, I'm Jennifer, but people either call me Jennifer or JVD. (My husband calls me JVD sometimes....)

...not to mention having a 4 year old on your hip! (We were near the speakers and he can be sensitive to noise, so I was holding him for a lot of the show).
Thanks, Nancy!

I have a real name and an initials name too Jennifer. Lots of my friends call me MB in addition to Mary Beth and even my husband calls me MB. I had a boss that even called me mbg and after I got married even changed it to mbc. I had already voted and favorited and commented and since it is a new day it let me rate the vid again. Thanks again.
