Long post sorry!!!

I went to her Sunday concert and it was amazing, the only thing that I have to complain about is that she only spoke in Mandarin all throughout she only spoke a few words in English. I understand that she's a Mandarin singer but come on she was in USA, they of course know that not everyone that was going to her concert understood Mandarin. That's the only thing that I have to complain about.

The concert was 2 hours, 1am to 3am, I'm wondering why they chose that time. I sat next to the place where they did all of the sound stage stuff, not too far not to close. I took a few videos with my phone (they are a little bad quality), I'm going to upload them and link them here soon. I'm wasn't going to go to her concert but I thought who knows if she's ever going to come to USA and perform so close by me anytime soon (I live in New Jersey but I had to drive 2 hours to get to Atlantic City T.T) I know the last time she performed in USA was back in 2009 so I'm glad that I got to see her live for the first time. Thank you Linoa62 for announcing that she was going to be here, I'm surprised that her social media accounts didn't announced that she was coming here. I wouldn't even have known if you didn't say it here.

My favorite part was the end where she performed PLAY. She also performed a jazz version of Butterflies in my stomach, it was awesome.

Spoiler:
There was a moment where I burst into tears, they showed a little boys documentary named Yeh Yung Chih who was bullied in Junior High school just because he acted a little feminine. He was always bullied, kids would always pull his pants down to see his private parts just to see "if he was a real boy or not". One day he was found dead in the boys bathroom covered in blood, until now it's a mistery in what caused his death. The one thing that bothers people is the fact that the school didn't ever try to help the boy when he complained to them that he was being bullied. When he was found dead 3 teachers cleaned the blood up from the bathroom before calling the police. Some medical people say that he died from heart attack but many people say that he never had any illnesses and he was healthy so how could it be that he died from a heart attack.

Many people who see Jolin perform live in PLAY tour get so shocked when they see her male back up dancers, they might think it weird but they don't know that she's taking a stand for gay rights.
