The concert had some of the nation's best singers performing but some poor preparation work bought some frowns to the audience. The photo time before the concert, which was supposed to start at 5:00PM, was delayed by 1 hour, which lead to some boycotting by the photographers. Also the hosts went on talking for 30 minutes because of the delay causing the 40,000 audience to wait in the chilly weather.
