Charice: New hairstyle and tattoo

If Charice wants everyone talking about her, then she is successful in her attempt! The pint-sized Filipino singer is now sporting a new look…

Yup, what you just saw is true. Charice now has a blonde short hair… and a new tattoo! Her new ink says “love eternally” with the infinity sign in between the words. Charice is holding a series of concerts entitled Infinity so it might have something to do with the sign.

Now I have something to say about this girl’s new look. I do think that she was ill-advised by whoever told her to go for that look. For one, it doesn’t suit the sweet persona that made her beloved by so many. Sure she is now going for the ‘edgy’ look but come on! She is known as a belter not a rocker! I would have understood the new look if she’s changing her tunes. Another one, people are now questioning her gender because she looks more like a lesbian than a girl. Of course it shouldn’t matter if she’s gay or not as her talent won’t be diminished by that. Still, as she is also a role model for the youth, a question in her gender will somewhat create an impact on her status. And then there’s the thing about being a laughingstock locally. A photo of her and Maverick from the tandem Ariel and Maverick is now circulating the web…

Charice looks like Maverick! Hahaha! Sorry, I shouldn’t have laughed but changing your look and NOT improving it in the process…

Whoever advised or (if she’s really the one who decided to have that new look) approved her new look should be axed! It’s not doing her any good. According to her, she was asked if she wants to go for Avril Lavigne or Selena Gomez and she chose the former thus that blonde short hair. But if I were to advise Charice, I would have told her to go for this look…

Better, don’t you think? ‘Edgy’ need not mean a drastic haircut and an ink to go with it. ‘Edgy’ can be in the type of music she will be creating or the type of clothes she will be wearing from now on.

Does it really have to be a change in looks and attitude?

Foreign concerts in Manila in 2012

So there are a lot of foreign acts coming this 2012 in Manila. For the first quarter of the year, the following concerts will take place…

January 12 – Simple Plan

January 22 – Katy Perry

February 16 – Avril Lavigne

March 30 & 31 – Hanson

Exciting!!!

Given a chance I want to watch Simple Plan and Avril’s concert. Are you excited to see these acts perform in Manila?

;)

Train Live in Manila!

Train is coming to Manila and will perform on the 7th at the Smart Araneta Coliseum!!!

One of the foreign groups that I like is Train which has a number of songs that I like, of course. Marry Me, When I Look to the Sky, Hey Soul Sister, Calling All Angels and many more. I love their songs!

Too bad I can’t watch the concert as I would be preparing for a big thing on the next day, the 8th. I hope they come back again.

;)

Missing out on great shows!

Taylor Swift concert

I regret not being able to watch Taylor Swift live in Manila. I could have alloted funds for it. I am not a huge fan of hers but I like her songs. And from the footages shown on news, the concert was well worth the high ticket prices! Sayang!

Bruno Mars is coming for a concert on April. The same with The Script. I would love to watch both concerts, even that of Bruno Mars. But April is meant for hitting the beach and my dad’s birthday and some other important summer school-related expenses.

:(

Cute twitpic!

When Paramore went to Manila for a one-night concert last March 2010, Hayley Williams tweeted this picture of hers with the following caption…

Paramore

i just got "lei-d" in manila?

Cute!

I really like Hayley and the Paramore. It was really too bad that I didn’t have enough funds with me last March to watch their concert. I would have been there if it wasn’t for some special occasions that I needed to attend to that month.

:(

John Mayer Live in Manila postponed!

John Mayer Live in Manila

The much-anticipated concert John Mayer Live in Manila is postponed. It was supposed to be this coming May 16th but due to the national elections that will be held on the 10th, the concert was rescheduled to October 1st.

I got the details from John Mayer’s web site itself. I read it first in a daily broadsheet but I want a confirmation from John’s site. I think they cited the fear that there might be chaos during the election period so to be safe, they opted to hold the concert at a later date.

My frustration is…

If there is one frustration I have in life, that’s I cannot carry a tune :( Kaya I listen na lang instead. Hehehe…

I wish I could sing ala Nina. I’ve watched her perform live and it’s worth your every cent. She’s a great singer, underrated actually. Last I’ve seen her on tv was at ASAP but I don’t know if she’s still a mainstay there.

What I like about her is that she does not scream out a song’s lyrics, unlike other local female singers. Plus, she does not go around creating unnecessary gimmicks so people will notice her.

So without further ado, here’s a video of Nina’s Fall For You. Read more »

Ridiculous outfit

I caught a glimpse of Sharon Cuneta’s Mega 30 Concert at ABS CBN 2 this evening. Sharon, as usual, is at her best. She knew how to work a crowd. But what I noticed was the ridiculous outfit that she wore at the end of the concert. She looked like her head was just stuffed inside the dress. Here is the photo I am talking about…

Look at her with the same gown without the ridiculous sleeves…

Whoever made that ridiculous sleeves did not do her any justice. At all!

Here are some more photos from the Mega 30 Concert of the megastar Sharon Cuneta.  Read more »
