Rona’s
Must Watched Concert this March
The last time I watched and actually enjoyed a concert was
way before I got married and relocated here in South Central Mindanao. Though a
lot of concerts both and locals are also showcased here, none of those yet has
made my feet giggle in excitement and spend a desperately save for the tickets.
This year, I had to miss watching Evanescence! And here comes another must
watched Philippine concert tour; like Evanescence, whom I grew up singing along
with.
A Visit from a Knight

I hated tacky romantic music, though this Soul and RnB
artist kind of flipped me out through his cheesy lyrics. He may have dreamy words in his songs but if
you listen well, the lyrics perfectly describe what you exactly wanted to
express but wasn’t able to put together better than his songs. Lyrics were simple but has deeper and brilliantly
assembled. He is truly an artist not just with an art but with a passion.
Though I had the chance to watched and follow him on Donald Trump’s ‘Celebrity The
Apprentice’, which by the way made me more admire him because he is such a gentleman
and a man who knows to handle his principles but never got into an awful fight
like all other apprentices who undergoes
pressure and annoying situation. He has made me like him more. His firm but subtle,
firm but still friendly, strict but still kind and a leader who exactly knows when
to follow.
According to Click the City and Wikipedia, Brian is a multitalented
artist who can literally play well in nine different instruments and basically
belt and sing in wonderfully varied tones. He is has the most number of been
nominations in Grammy’s, American Music Awards, Image Awards, MTV, Soul Train and
other local awards back in USA.
He has also previous collaboration with famous artist such
Mariah Carey, Vanessa Williams, Boyz II Men, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Justin
Timberlake, Nelly, Rascals Flat, Mary J.
Blige, Josh Groban, and the list may go on. Philippine’s Regine Velasquez has
also worked with the respected Brian Mcknight; and now on his Philippine March 16, Regine’s talented young singer
Angeline Quinto will have the chance to do the duets with the Knight. So mark your calendars and save the date on Friday at the Araneta Coliseum. The concert
starts at 8pm. You can get your tickets at Ticketnet, or call (02) 911-5555.The
next day, March 17, a Benefit concert
for Don Bosco orphans will follow at Cebu City, Waterfront Hotel and Casino. Call 09173003272 / 09228882142 for ticket reservations.
Among his popular songs: Back at one, One Last Cry, Anytime, I Remember
You, Super Hero, Evolution of Man and the most recent record which can be
perfectly played on weddings is Marry Your daughter.
Missing Brian McKnight Live in Manila Concert would eat my
heart out. So you guys, who will all have the chance in the world, please don’t
miss this one.
Bopping with The
Hansons
Mmmmbop,
badobidop, badooo... Yeheyey...
Mmmmbop,
badobidop, badooo... Yeheyey...
Wondering
what the heck I am mumbling about? It’s the Hanson’s ever famous song. I
remember taping the fun-filled and carefree music video of 3 young bothers. The
video as if they were all having fun around and just cosily jamm’n together. I
even got their cassette tape and I still play it to this day. I had wished
years ago that they would come and visit our country. But worst speculations
before (within the uprising of rebels and kidnapping in our country, few
artists had the guts to hold concert events here), it has been a gossip they
mocked Filipinos as monkey looking people. As a Hanson fanatic, I totally did
not belied at all. I remember performing their classic mmmbop song in my English
101 subject as part of Literature activity. My classmates were all nice to jam
with me and clap their hands as I perform Hanson’s mmmbopping music.
Isaac, Taylor, and Zac formed the jumpy and jolly rock band
from Oklahoma. With their youthful looks and jagged long hairs (who basically re-introduce the
appreciation of long hair bohemian rocker look that time), which made young
girls scream and giggle with the band. People was impressed of Zac’s drumming
skills inspite of his being the youngest and smallest in the sibling’s band; while
Taylor was able to handle an up and straight rocker image despite of his handsomely-lady-like
feature. Isaac on the other hand has captured women by his quiet and manly
gestures while strumming his guitar.

I had tried joining all online, TV, and radio station contest to win tickets (so all I had to save is my hotel and plane fare), but unluckily, it wasn’t my time be with the Knight this March. Hoping maybe I can watch with my fam next time soon. All I can do now, is complete my album collection if Brian Mcknight and just play it as loud and again and again at home.
