Samsung Galaxy S4 Infinite Possiblities Preview Party #GS4Canada

Samsung Canada held a launch party for their newest flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, in three cities simultaneously last Thursday, April 25th. Held at the Rocky Mountaineer Station in Vancouver, doors opened at 5pm, and there were plenty of people in line to get in!

There was a drink especially made for the event - the Blue Galaxy!

I went to find the Galaxy S4 as soon as I got in so that I could play around with it. Staff were demoing the phone and I got the rundown on all the new features. Being released in two colours, White Frost and Black Mist, the S4 looks very much like its predecessor, the Galaxy S3, though the 1080p HD 5-inch screen is slightly larger. I was amazed at how light and thin the phone was. Holding my S3 side by side with the S4, my phone felt very big and clunky (though by no means is the Galaxy S3 not still a great phone!).

The back plate of the S4 doesn't have the slight curve of the S3, so there is no "bum" on the phone, which I actually really liked in the S3 because it made it fit more comfortably in my hand.

The phone boasts a 13-megapixel camera with a host of photo editing features that can spruce up your photos, including drama shots, erasing people in the backgrounds and creating a 9-second sound clip.

There are plenty of impressive new features on the S4. Some of my favourites include multi-window, allowing you to create a split screen of two apps, waving your hand to scroll through windows (goodbye fingerprints!) and Group Play, allowing you to share music, videos, documents and games with other phones, while letting you control the volume and surround sound on the other phones. S Health is another new app built into the phone, you can log the calories you consume, keep track of your exercise and use your phone as a pedometer.

Samsung has outdone themselves by creating an all-in-one phone. I was very impressed with the Galaxy S4 and would definitely suggest getting one if you are in the market for a new Android phone.

The rest of the evening was devoted to some great performances. Canadian group STARS came on first to do their set, and the crowd was definitely excited!

Samsung held Galaxy S4 Casting Calls, where the winner would have the chance to perform on stage at the launch party. Gio Levy won from Vancouver, and in between sets, he came out and serenaded us with the song that won him this amazing opportunity.

Like a mini Bruno Mars!

One of the surprises of the evening was a special appearance by Feist. Slated to appear in three cities at once - Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto, Samsung turned her into a hologram to accomplish this feat! Amazing!

It was another great launch party by Samsung and I had a lot of fun! Here's a video of  STARS performing "Ageless Beauty" below. Check out my Youtube channel for more videos.

Pictures from Jason Mraz Concert @ Rogers Arena (Sept 21)

I was one of the lucky winners to receive a pair of tickets to the Jason Mraz concert Friday night from the Rogers Wireless Box Office. I've been a Mraz fan for a while now, so I was very excited to see him live! Christina Perri opened for him, performing her hits including Jar of Hearts and A Thousand Years. Jason Mraz was amazing live, and it was fun to sing along to his songs. My favorites songs from his new album are Woman I Love and Living in the Moment. He sang some of his older songs too, which was really good. It was a great concert, and I wish it had lasted even longer! Here are some pictures and videos from the concert.

Jason Mraz came out to introduce Christina Perri.

Crazy cool percussion.

More and more people joined him on stage and the song went on.

LOVE.

Scissor Sisters Concert Pictures @ The Commodore Ballroom

Right after the Samsung Galaxy SIII launch party on Wednesday night, I headed on over to the Commodore Ballroom to hit up my next concert - The Scissor Sisters! Unfortunately, my friend arrived extremely late so I missed all the opening acts, and didn't get a good spot for pictures.

The concert itself was amazing - everyone was really into it and my friend and I danced up a storm! The Scissor Sisters performed many songs from their newest album, Magic Hour, as well as older hits and fan favorites like Take Your Mama Out, and my personal favorite, I Don't Feel Like Dancin'. They ended their set with it before the encore, and once it came on, everyone went crazy and started dancing even harder! They performed Only The Horses and another song for the encore, which I forget. Scissor Sisters has such catchy songs that just makes you want to bust a move and dance your heart out! I can't wait till they come back to Vancouver for their next tour!

Here are some pictures from the concert (sorry, they aren't very good!):

Scissor Sisters!

Jake Shears, Ana Matronic, Del Marquis

Backup singers - it was the birthday of one of them so Ana Matronic led the audience in a rendition of Happy Birthday!

I have to say, they have the most interesting outfits ever.

Let's have a kiki!

I think this is Jake's oddest outfit over the evening - it looked like a raincoat sort of deal.

Here's a video of Baby Come Home - it's one of my favorites from their new album, it's just so catchy! For more videos from the concert, check out my Youtube channel.
