RPDRPH Queens Brigiding, Vinas Deluxe, Precious Paula Nicole in Major Concert Feb 10

Brigiding, Precious Paula Nicole and Vinas Deluxe aka DIVINE DIVAS

Getting their rightful place in the spotlight are RuPaul Dragrace Philippines' brightest Brigiding, Misis ng Bayan Vinas Deluxe and 1st PH Dragrace Superstar Precious Paula Nicole. They're going to have their own concert entitled DIVINE DIVAS: The Ultimate Drag Experience which will happen on February 10, 2023 at the New Frontier Theater at Araneta City. This is produced by Nathan Studios (of the Ataydes) and Fire and Ice Live (the production company of Ice Seguerra and Liza Dino-Seguerra).

The same production houses have already worked on Ice Seguerra's concert called #BecomingIce which was very successful that it warranted another installment in Cebu on February 18th, at the Waterfront Hotel. We were also informed they will be doing a Davao leg and a tour of North America and some countries in the Middle East (in the near future).

Certainly, they've seen something special about these PH drag queens, and honestly, they've represented the country proud in the international stage. They are already talented individually, and seeing them perform together, was on another level. Here's a taste of what's in store for you IF you watch the show next month!

And this is just the tip of the iceberg, because during their interview, they divulged that they will have a different repertoire than what they are performing in the bars they've performed in. I personally asked what dreams they still have, and aside from the successful careers, they're putting up their own business too, to ultimately have their own bar where they don't just cater to the fabulous LGBTQIA+ scene, where everyone will be recognized as the talented people that they are - equals.

Make sure you get your tickets at ticketnet.com.ph as they might run out soon! This is just the start of having our queens be put on the world stage. Who knows, a show in other countries soon? From the looks of it, Ms. Sylvia Sanchez of Nathan Studios and Ice Seguerra of Fire and Ice Live were confident, they were left there still bickering about it (like family). Thank you for having us that afternoon! Can't wait to see the show!

Alden Richards for ADRENALINE RUSH

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Honestly, I miss this guy a lot because the last interview I had with him was during MMFF with Maine Mendoza, so that was a long time ago. Good thing he’s staging a concert this September at the Kia Theater and fans have been waiting for this too I’m sure.

In the press conference, I asked Alden about the venue and he says “Why Kia? It’s because I have been able to do shows in Kia Theater before and now that we know the place, we will be maximizing the venue because we will do things not just on stage but on the audience side too. I’ll be doing several stunts which we haven’t done in previous shows and that’s what will happen on September. We haven’t announced who will be our guests because we want everyone will be surprise. You may expect the expected people to be there. About Victor Magtanggol, I am so happy to have turned most of the show’s detractors into fans of the show after they have watched it. They went into complaining first before they did watch the show. The album has originals, it will be different, we know we have different kinds of listeners now. Majority of what is in it will be original. In the concert it will be super difficult to do the song and dance numbers. It’s a dream for me to do a bigger venue next time but we will have to make the venues of these few concerts be sold good. GMA Records is so nice to believe in me and produce things for me, singing is a bonus and it’s something for the records, I will be still doing acting gigs all the time. I ask my friends to pray for me before every show I do. We will be doing things off stage so it will be different for me and I am excited. I want my family to be there and I am so happy to see them there also the last time. The show will not be a narrative but the sequences are planned, not structured. I was consulted since conceptualization, and I had collaborations in planning, choosing songs. There will be themes per segment, there will be personal stuff and parts dedicated to special people in my life.”

He adds “When I get concerts I make sure to do my best so that the people who trust me won’t get disappointed. I mean with all the trust that they have put on me, it’s only right that I give something back.”

Alden would like to thank Magnolia, Cebuana Lhullier, McDonalds, Dailymotion and Barangay LS 97.1 for helping him with the show. This is produced by GMA Records. Tickets are available through TicketNet and the VIP tickets will include the album for FREE so if you’re a good fan, you know what to get!

Oh how I wish those surprise guests include you know how :) I know you would like that to happen too!

Johnoy Danao, Ebe Dancel and Bullet Dumas on IISA Concert at the KIA Theater

They are no strangers to the Philippine music scene but have yet to really gain thread in mainstream. Hard to admit, such talented performers like them don’t really get enough spotlight in the business. That’s going to change because they’ve pretty much made headway in their previous concerts and I think they don’t mind if it would take time, they are taking the next step. They are showcasing their musical talent with surprise guests and Manila String Machine in a concert called IISA slated on June 9 at the KIA Theater. This is good news.

IISA means being one, as Ebe puts it, “It’s a team up, it’s what we’ve become, we weren’t really friends at first but now even our family members know each other. We were supposed to do it this March, but we had problems putting this up. We now have a following, so we are doing this as a treat to 3D fans. We know each others quirks, we don’t even fight, 3 different personalities but we are like a family. It’s a whole army with us, so our rehearsals would require a lot of time to do that. We also have friends we would like to invite in the concert.

Bullet Dumas adds “Manila String Machine will be with us, so it’s going to be different. When we started we had low expectations, so every time we had an opportunity, small gigs, the singapore one, we make it memorable for everyone. When you watch us, we won’t waste your time, now it’s a bigger venue, bigger things to do in that show. Decisions are also easy in our group because we are three, we know each other personally.”

Johnoy Danao says “We thought about it at first, we have our group now, the concept is about being on stage, even if we are a lot of musicians, it’s only going to be one music. In terms of records, we did random things, our vibe is just like a gathering of friends, if one sings one thing, we do it even if he can only sing the chorus. If they go to our show, they’ll hear something different, it’s like an anniversary, like a treat for people and we have bands, a full orchestra to make you happy.”

On June 9, please come to KIA Theater and purchase tickets on Ticketnet 911555. If you have inquiries you may go to the 3D or our personal pages. It’s their third time to be together and trust me, it’ll be good for people who love REAL unadulterated Filipino music.

HEY MATTEO at the Kia Theater

I was surprised to see Matteo Guidicelli actually singing live, dishing some of his original music. He knows the Filipinos now are intense, so he wants to reflect that in the songs that he's doing in his upcoming concert called HEY MATTEO. Hoping you would be able to get to know him, less the electonic stuff because he wants to tone it down, make it a bit raw and a bit reminiscent of the sounds he grew up with.

Matteo says "This passion of mine came about when I was in high school. These guys are my friends (pointing to his band) and a few years ago they were just doing this for fun every weekend. My album "Hey Matteo!" consists of all original songs and they knew how a lot of people would appreciate it. I have friends who wrote for me some of the songs in the album, I don't know how to write lyrics yet but I'd like to do that soon. I told them I want the 90's feel, a bit alternative and this is what happened. Now, it's a different concept, I'm bringing a little pop rock on the table and I hope people would love it. The whole album is about what I feel, it's about the truth and this is like my outlet, my reality. This has been my dream and Sarah is a big inspiration to whatever I do. I want to focus on these things, I found love in music and I hope to bring this to schools."

Here's a couple of the songs from his album, enjoy!

</ br> </ br>

Then he adds "Kia Theater is scary already for me, but I trust my team, they told me to do it there. I'm just a boy from Cebu who just wants to make things happen. I have intense songs, love songs, some that would charm and some that has rage in the album. It's a mix, 10 tracks and I'm glad Big Bang Productions and Star Music helped us distribute it and I'm glad. I'll also be doing a movie to be released next year so I hope you support me in all my endeavors. I'll be doing a few covers and doing a few numbers with other artists too. I hope you'll love that."

HEY MATTEO will happen at the Kia Theater on November 30, 2017 at 7:30pm. Be there and support him please! :) It will be a fun night as he tells his story.

Matteo Guidicelli Says Hey! At The Kia Theater

I like Matteo Guidicelli's demeanor. He's very humble, very passionate and quite an outstanding actor. Intrigues and bashing may have plagued him, but he remained very loving and doesn't take it against them. He is quite approachable, always had said thanks even if the questions thrown at him were a bit shady. He wasn't afraid to show how sad he was when he is, that takes a lot for a man to do. This time he's going to stage a concert at the Kia Theater, taking his second album and his fans on a short journey. He's proud to tell his story.

Shy Vesaga the concert producer says "Bigbang Productions has already produced his Cebu concert which was sold out to 4000 people. This is Matteo's new sound. It's connected to his new album, we want to establish him as an artist. Proceeds of this concert will go to Share Foundation provides livelihood for the less fortunate, same foundation supported by Boardwalk that makes them do business rather than just dole outs."

Matteo Guidicceli says "We produced the second album called Hey! We are launching it on MOR (later this evening), this album is made by us, my friends, I grew up listening to pop rock and I want to bring it back, the whole 90's band feel. Hey Matteo will try to feature the journey of the album, this whole thing. Direk Ruel told me to have a good mix of OPM's and covers. 9 songs, a lot of originals, though the cebuano song didn't make it. Shy and I have a nice history, they are good family friends. They have a clinic at the Fort. They are advertising producers, now they are doing concerts, they are called BIGBANG PRODUCTIONS. We go a long way back. The songs tell my story too, to reveal my music journey, had many sessions with song writers. This one has meaning, it all has a story. It's about romance, courting someone, when their parents don't like the guy. People especially millenials would relate, we wanted it to be intimate and do it in Kia Theater."

He adds "For Star Magic, I am so thankful to be with them for 10 years. They have made me who I am in showbiz today. Sarah may not be part of the whole thing because her schedules do not permit it, we will have guests. Musical Direction will be by Louie Ocampo, and Stage Direction will be by Direk Rowell Santiago. It'll be 16 songs, Looney and Morisette Amon has already confirmed and we are working on two more."

"When I go around people ask if we are a love team, we are not, we had offers but we know the true meaning of our relationship, it's real and we want to protect that. As much as possible, I don't want to talk about her because people might miscontrue my motives. It's actually difficult to do that, I struggle because people do often ask me about her."

"It will be a fun show and they will see how I do things in the concert." #HeyMatteo will happen on November 30, 2017 at 7:30PM.

Vina Morales for "Vina at 30"

It's been 30 years since Ms. Vina Morales has joined show-business and it's about time she celebrates it with the people that she love, and those that have been instrumental in making her the success that she is today. She's going to have a concert this October 14, 2016 8PM at the KIA Theater and she's not holding back. She's going to make it worth your time from the moment she opens the show until it ends with guests and co performers that you'll also love!

"Vina at 30" is her way of giving thanks, she wants it to be fun and she wants all that love her to be there. Vina says "I did showgirl years back and had Georcelle choreograph that. I'll be doing a prod with Gary, the cute Ogie Alcasid, some light songs with Daniel Padilla, and my family Shaina and Ceana. I will also have Robin Padilla, it was hard to make him say yes and our supporters would love that. Robin and I are thankful that despite of our own respective lives, we have that kilig for the fans when we look at each other. 30 years personally has changed me a lot, in my career, I am so blessed and I make sure to give my best even if I have small roles, I still make them feel I work a lot for it. The time alone is an achievement, after the concert maybe I'll be promoting my album with Star Records. I'll also have concert tours in other countries and I'm looking forward to put up more businesses with my friends because there's a lot we want to do still. There are a lot of shows already in KIA Theater and I'm happy, fulfilled to have that and celebrate it with you." 

"I am taken by Mark, I'm always wishing for the best with our relationship, I'm leaving it all to God and not force things, I'm always hoping for the best. I'm happy my friends are here, to make me feel who I am in these 30 years. If you want to work, love the people that you're with, you're going to stay in the business. Ceana can sing, but she's shy so I hope she gets over that."

She adds "I really wanted to sing, but never had channels to go to them. I sang in different provinces when I was a teen ager, I hope I had the chance to have that before I was discovered. There were no reality shows before. I probably have done a lot, i just hope this one would just have some twists so you always see something new. There are new artists that are great, like Sarah Geronimo, they're very talented now but the new ones really have to polish it. My secret is not really secret, it's the love for the craft, I learn from suggestions so I listen to people personal or career wise. You need to watch your attitude with co workers, if you turn diva you will never make it. I used to feel the times I were in Viva that the intrigues were really tough, I was affected then, but it's better now and I would just laugh at it because I thought those were already hard compared to what I am experiencing now."

"For 30 years I haven't been very showbiz or on intrigues just so they talk about me or use my name, I don't answer back or fight with anyone. When you do need to fight back, I just always wait for the right time and now I have a good lawyer for cases and those that will come. That's what give me courage especially my daughter."

October 14 will be a good night to celebrate, thanks to PLDT Home DSL, Ystilo Salon, San Miguel Corporation, Splash Corporation, Aficionado, Salu Restaurant, Chivs Lounge Bar, Bench, Nice Day Coffee, Ideal Vision and Philip Dizon Photography for making her concert Vina at 30 possible. You cab get tickets at DSL Events Production (02) 659 3474, (0918) 563781, (0933) 519 8118 or their website www.dsleventsandproductionhouse.com or Ticketnet at 9115555 www.ticketnet.com.ph. It is Directed by Johnny Manahan and Choreographed by Teacher Georcelle of GFORCE.

Ai Meets Lani, Lani Meets Ai : The Concert

It's on this September 17 and according to Ms. Aiai she's excited because she used to just watch Lani in her concerts but now it's going to be one night of showing off what they can do on stage and it's going to be epic. Their opening number alone would actually take 12 minutes straight and she says she's in the gym most if the time because she might not last that long. It's going to be at the KIA Theater and she also notes she's going to wear gowns by Michael Cinco and Rocky Gathercole. She's currently preparing for Sunday Pinasaya and a couple more shows, this year has been good to her.

Lani has been here May but is now doing a series of shows in Las Vegas so she's not here to promote that much. Aiai says she's giving Lani tips how to sing so she could learn how to do it her way. It's been 6 years since her last concert in Araneta Coliseum and she's concentrated more on movies, TV shows, but she's taking that Comedy Concert Queen title seriously as she's shy to be bestowed that title by Martin Nievera. She doesn't even memorize some of the songs and admits never even uses lyrics at times, she just sings with any word just as long as it sounds right. She wanted to do this with Ms. Lani Misalucha as she's done it with Lea Salonga. Lani should be afraid because she might not get the range of Aiai, which I totally agree on... Am I alone here? Hello!??? LOL

This will also include some show off of men, that's where you'll see their "Patalbugan ng Papa" number which will take a lot of time. Aiai has remembered how much Lani had given support for her in her 2013 wedding. Next wedding she wants her to sing as well, perhaps in the next 5 years. She's been divorced 2 years, and courts granted her to re-marry so she's taking her time and leave it up to the Lord. She's been on a diet for a long time and have kept a 26 inch waistline to boot. This is just the start she says and she knows she's going to take her time so she could do more live concerts. She mentions Lani can do it all including singing while lying down, and she's taking it to the next level by swimming while singing. She promises that. She also has an indie film in the pipeline where she does a controversial shower scene and will perhaps be shown internationally, something she's very proud of. 

To learn to accept the things you cannot change, this is her motto. She's not that vocal but she's still getting misinterpreted and she always wanted to reply. She knows now NOT to do that, and learned the art of DEADMA. She looks so radiant that afternoon and she told us that her secret is keeping in this motto in her mind. This concert is produced by Ms. Pops Fernandez, and again this is going to show in September 17, 2016. 

Later on in the presscon, they also live streamed Ms. Lani Misalucha and she also answered questions from the press. She says she wasn't forced to do this and she mentions how long they haven't been together for a long time, says it's about time to put them together in one venue. This is the best avenue for them to be together, as they have no chance to do it on TV shows. She's happy that the concert scene is alive and this will be fun, light, and need to have this continue so you can see different elements. She's now starting to record an album with Star Records and perhaps release later this year, a thing that she's working on plus an intenationally released single on iTunes and Google Play. 

Again this will be fun! They both hope you can come this September for Ai Meets Lani for a night of songs and laughter, you should also wait for the international tour slated later in the year as they plan to do more shows in the states and the whole northern american region.

Christmas Sparkles at the Araneta Center

It's been a tradition for people in the metro and Quezon City to converge at the Araneta Center at the start of Christmas Season. The most awaited Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony just happened and there were tons of artists from The Voice of the Philippines, some teen idols from Star Magic and the one and only Vice Ganda to join the occasion. The ceremony itself was done my the first lady of Araneta Center Korina Sanchez, LP Vice President bet Ms. Leny Robredo, Mr. Berndt Schneider GM of Novotel Manila and several beauty queens of Binibining Pilipinas. 

Here's a glimpse of what happened that evening!


A Sparkling Christmas at the Araneta Center by kumagcow

I loved the part where Jerome Ponce, comedian Negi, Bradley Holmes, Daryl Ong and Jason Fernandez performed for the crowd and even played a few games with them. I won a few cans of Coca Cola too during that event. I can't wait to see what else is up for the lovely new Araneta Center this Christmas Season. I've seen concerts, a few UAAP games and even The Jets in the brand new Kia Theater. If you want to shop conveniently in Cubao, make sure you get it done in the Araneta Center. It's so near my hood I could call it home!

Glaiza De Castro : Dreams Never End Concert

After filling countless mall shows, after releasing an independently produced album, after getting lovely sales on what initially was project between friends, I felt so extremely happy for her when I heard she was having a concert. She's Glaiza De Castro, and she'll be dishing out her brand of music on October 3 at the new Music Museum. She's excited and extremely happy about how things turned out and she's not stopping there. She's got a dream and she's doing everything to make that come true. This was the opportune time to do it. So before a throng of press people and bloggers a few days ago, she whipped out her guitar, laid out the sheets and had us marvel on the pure unadulterated Glaiza De Castro brand of music. It was like I could feel her emotions overflow with every verse, every word she uttered that evening. Glaiza and her band seemed to lose themselves in the moment and with great gusto, because it's love, revenge, heartbreak, happiness, sadness, like a rollercoaster ride of emotions. This is the same kind of thing they'll be doing in the concert so if you've loved her all these years, this may be the one time she's expecting you to be there.

The talented Glaiza even played songs from her album Synthesis which she says is dedicated to all the people behind the album who made time, effort to make her lyrics, her music. It's a hodgepodge of people from different walks of life, from celebrity friends whom she never even anticipated would be part of it. Here's two videos from the blogcon:

Here are other shots of Glaiza during her performance and interview:

She's lovely, she's talented and she's never going to let go of that dream. She's taking it by the tail and spinning it around, making this moment rightfully hers on October 3, 2015 at the Music Museum in Greenhills. Let's all support Glaiza and her great guests Rhian Ramos, Jay R, Aiza Seguerra, Kitchie Nadal and Ms. Regine Velasquez. For tickets, please visit http://glaizaredux.com/ and make sure you get one. I saw some sections are sold out already so hurry!
