There comes a time when your mind fails you. It commences when the
billions of neurons in that skull start to shrink, and so do your mental
faculties. Like focusing, for instance.
Like a drift wood caught in a sea cyclone, I resigned myself to my
fate. Free fall for both, like Newton's apple dropping on his lap.
It's a brand new year. I should be full of positive thoughts and feelings. But welcoming the new year and finding out that the divastation uploads were gone is definitely, not a Happy scenario. I'm getting tired of all these uploads. On the other hand, I'd like to see a silver lining. I've made some people Happy! I've accomplished even a small percentage of my original plan. Music is all about sharing. I guess, I can consider that as charity work for this year, which will eventually earn me some good karma especially to Regine worshippers.
Divas can be over rated. Bloated egos can create disastrous results. Hear for yourself. Enjoy!
I'm wondering if we can have our own version of Divas Live? So instead of sulking and waiting for the impossible to actualize, I have the following performances uploaded.Happy Holidays! ENJOY!
You big disgrace I've got the feeling and I'm willing tonight Well I ain't nobody's angel Credit is bad So why dispute me and waste my time
We are beautiful no matter what they say Yes, words won't bring us down We are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring us down Don't you bring me down today
Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan
Sa kanyang kilos at galaw tayo ay naaaliw Sa ating mga mata isa lamang siyang baliw Ngunit kung tayo ay hahatulang sabay Sa mata ng Maykapal, siya'y higit na banal
I like Ramielle even if she doesn't have a powerful voice. Being a Fil Am, she was admirable when she wasn't scared of telling the whole world that Regine is one of her IDOLs. This is something that Fil Ams should emulate. Never be afraid of your lineage.
Finally, after finishing the Idol Tour, she'll be here. Hopefully, she'll get to sing with her fave Songbird. What's final and absolute is that she's part of the concert :The Idol Experience: Ogie Sings with the Idol. This is a two night concert on December 20 & 21. She will be joined by Gretchen Espina - GMA 7 Pinoy Idol's Winner and the other 11 Finalists.

Based on my previous entry about hard economic times, I did my best not to give in to my wants. I meant, I would love to splurge for these 4 Divas. But I need to tame myself. On second thought, being offered by scalpers 50% discount on high end tickets is such a welcome temptation. If they were just early, I would have surrendered to such offers.
I intentionally did not read any articles nor watch any tv appearances when they were promoting this show. I wanted to watch the show with ZERO expectations. Honestly, I believe that Rowell Santiago's resignation as the show's director, was purely a marketing gimmick. So there's an effective formula for creating a much needed buzz for this once in a lifetime concert. Look at the picture and see for yourself.
So where do I begin? I used to be very detailed and unforgiving in my reviews before. But since I'd like to be interactive, I'll let the vids and the pics narrate what really transpired during the show. Now, please be forgiving since am not in the best seating position and for strategic recording purposes. I can't be in front seats and blatantly record the entire show. I'd like to pay Respect to GMA since the show will be televised this month. For sure there will be additional graphics that will be incorporated when they release this on tv. So, please be content with an amateur video. The main purpose is to share to those less fortunate Songbird worshippers, fans, friends and loved ones of the other Divasworldwide. I am not in any manner, intends to jeopardize this TV Special.
These are random pictures that will serve as teasers. I will do my best in uploading the vids IN ORDER. Let's start with this one.
False alarm! Here's the Real Opening - We Will Rock You, Queen of the Night & Free Your Mind. The outfits remind me of Christian Siriano of Project Runway Season 4.
So the opening number's just like one of those overtly used medleys. I was scared that it'll be predictable. Not until they played the chords of I'll Be There --- it turned out to be Beautiful!
And so to Really Love a Woman....
Annie Lennox !Sweet Dreamsare made of ..
What the???Dreamgirlslocal version? I was wrong... tribute toDiana Ross
I had to stop. My apologies to Zsa Zsa Zaturnnahfans. Need to allot space for more important performances. She sangLove Will Find You... Someday..
Ikaw Lamang?
One of my favorites. I like the ethnic touch in the arrangement. I love the way Regine sounded like Grace Nono. A tribute to the ALL time Diva - Mothers. Sa Ugoy ng Duyan arranged by Bob Aves. Enjoy!
After this song let me get some sleep. It's been a LONG day... To be continued
