Alicia Keys live in concert

I had always wanted to go to a concert of Alicia Keys because she has got an amazing voice and she is also an inspiration for me and all her fans. And it was on the night of 16 June 2013 that I saw one of the greatest concerts of ever: Alicia Keys at Pavilhão Atlântico, Lisbon!

When I arrived there, the atmosphere was electric and the crowd were very excited for her performance. Suddenly, thousands of fans started to scream for the concert to start, and a few minutes later, she was there, in the middle of the stage singing her biggest hits for the enthusiastic people. She also played some songs that I didn’t know, but even so, I liked it!

I loved the concert, it was a fantastic and unforgettable night! I think she sings spectacularly on her CD’s but her live performance is even better.

The only problem for me was that on that same night, I had had a guitar concert. I really wanted to go but at the end, I chose to go went to see Alicia, the singer who inspires me in the world of music, because we didn’t have always the chance to seeing someone so famous singing.

Camping with friends

In the holidays I was with friends on a camping trip in Gerês. Where a strange thing happened…

We were lost in the middle of nowhere without our phones. It was really late and no one had found us. We only had a torch and a map and we had to find our camp, We had started to walk when our torch broke because we were really worried that we let our torch fall. From that moment we didn’t have anything to light our way. The forest was enormous and we were afraid to get lost so we were all the time looking for the map. we had seen some tents and we thought that was our camp we were wrong. That was the camp of other people. we had seen a car so we decided to ask for help. Fortunately they were really nice and they gave us a ride to our camp.        Ana Rita Pires Silva

A stupid gummie bear

Well , I’m going to talk about a story which has always been in my memory.

I was in the 5th grade and I was very nervous because I was going to have a trumpet concert, and at the moment I only thought “I’m not going to do it well” “I must clean my trumpet” “I’m going to get the music wrong” Well that was true. I had to clean my trumpet. When my teacher called me to the stage, I felt confident. I put the trumpet to my lips and started to blow but… no music came out! I was very nervous in front of 500 people in the Auditório Adelina Caravana. My teacher had tried to help me and then a gummie came out!

I only had listened people laugh but I didn’t know how that gummie was going to be there. Then, I remember that on the last day I was with my cousin and we had been eating gummies when played my trumpet. I laughed together with the audience.

My Football Team

 

When was five years old me and my best friend, Alexandre, had to create a new football team, when this experience started, we had little players in the team.

The football team was very good, we’d had very good players but the best player was me.

In my first time, we won many trophies and medals but we’d had some problems.

Last the players they had to leave the team and the team lost a lot of tournaments.

I and my best friend were very unhappy.

My dream had finished in this moment and I was very sad.

Pink Floyd Live Concert

 

There’s a big announcement saying Pink Floyd is giving a concert in few weeks in my town. Everybody is talking about that, so I must book my ticket now! I really love their music but the big reason of going is the fact that Pink Floyd has the best live performance in the world…all those lights filling the air of the arena…it’s just amazing!

As soon as I entered in the arena I was “hit” by the wonderful atmosphere. I was hoping that they would play “Another Brick in The Wall, Money, Learning to Fly, Dark Side of the Moon and Comfortably Numb”. The arena was full of thousands of excited fans, but the big moment was when the band came over the stage. The crowd went mad and the fans next to me were almost expelled by the security because they tried to break the barriers. The band played lots of songs, including the ones I love the most.

It was a superb night, the whole show was amazing, and David Gilmour was with a wonderful voice, as always. But there were something that I didn’t really like: there were too many people in the arena and as a result it was a bit difficult to move around. The other thing is that David didn’t give me is guitar pick! The whole performance had a lot of quality from all the band members.

If I had to describe the concert in one word I would say: unique!

Review of Imagine Dragons at Optimus Alive

Last year I went to the Imagine Dragons concert here in Portugal and it was incredible. They are a relatively recent band, that only started to get famous a couple of years ago. I went to it because I really like their music and I was looking for an opportunity to have some fun and “relax” from the daily routine.

The concert was full of power and heart and the crowd was so electric and excited, it was hard to see someone calm or quiet. They only have the album “Night Visions” but that didn’t make a difference because it’s an awesome album with so many good songs. The best moment of the night, the biggest highlight was when they played “Demons” that is such a powerful song, it gives me innumerous different feelings, and it reminded me of the song’s video clip that also happens in a concert.

Even thought they are recent they managed to give me a surprise. They also played some songs from an extended play (mini-album) they made in 2009, with more calm songs from which I highlight the song “Drive”. It also had negative aspects, for example, the concert started half an hour late and I stayed to close to the speakers.

They are coming to Portugal again this year for the Optimus Alive festival but I’m probably not going to be able to attend it.
