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 »
