Once we returned to the venue, we were escorted to a small room backstage to wait with a few other fans to meet Bruno Mars. As he entered the room, he was singing "Rollin' in the Deep" and clapping. That really relaxed everyone and created a festive mood. He was very approachable as he talked a bit and took a picture with each person. Maya was just thrilled and couldn't stop smiling. She really didn't say much, but she did note that he called her sweetie.
We remained back stage and got to meet Natalia Kills as well as the other people that Day'nah has been working with. We felt like the celebrities as she introduced us as her family. Everyone, including Natalia stopped to talk to us and to tell us how happy they were to meet the family. Day'nah was just as excited to have us there, as we were to be there.
After the introductions, we went to our seats to wait for the concert to begin. As I mentioned before, the concert was sold out and at this particular venue, the ground floor in front of the stage is standing only. I was very pleased that our tickets were not only seated, but in the center of the section.
Natalia Kills opened and got the crowd going with songs that had strong dance beats. It was a pleasure to see Day'nah on stage doing what she loves and doing it well.
After her performance, Day'nah sat with us and enjoyed the concert. Bruno Mars is excellent live. He has an outstanding band that is full of energy and very entertaining. I think they performed every song on his album and the crowd sang along, Maya being the loudest of course. In fact, most of the footage of the concert that I recorded has Maya singing on it.
Following the concert, we went to go out to dinner before Day'nah's tour bus left for London. It's hard to believe that 17 years ago, she was a flower girl in our wedding and now she is dancing all over the world. We are so proud of you Day'nah and thank you for setting and excellent example for our children to get their education and follow their dreams. Thanks also for making this special night possible.
I made a video of the rest of our pictures featuring one of my favorite songs by Bruno Mars, "Just the Way You Are"
