After a long drought of good shows, Starmedia Entertainment mounted an unforgettable concert that has left LA concertgoers enthralled and astounded.
Main Event, the concert that converged three of the brightest stars of the Philippine music industry - Regine Velasquez, Lani Misalucha and Martin Nievera-proved to be a commercial and critical sucess.The venue was filled to rafters , filling up three thousand seating capacity.
The two Divas reigned supreme during that night, both providing great vocal prowess and versatility while the Concert king gave an excellent complement .The chemistry of the three singers was brilliant,fllawless and exceptional.This concert was ,indeed, a casting coup .Their performance was simply unforgettable.
Regine Velasquez performed with her marked scintillating and clear vocie, bringing the audiences to greater heights. She sang favorite pop songs and OPM hits, so much intensity and flair.Top of the list is her much adored Maybe its You, the intimate OPM Dadalhin and her showstopper Mariah Carey hits.
Lani Misalucha was a big revelation for many who have not experienced her singing style.
She performed with bravura and versatility, contrasting the elegant Conti Partiron with the rock opera version of Laklak. She gave a fantastic renditon of Whitney Houston hits that has kept everybody stunned and speechless.
Their solo spots gave them the opportunity to showcase their craft but Main Event provided the vehicle for these two divas to present that they can play beautiful music together.Forget the great divide of the fans of both queens who have kept comparing the two premiere artists. In this concert, they were pitting talents but they both came out victorious as they did play music harmoniously.Their spiels were natural amd comedic but both spoke and sang like they were doing a sister act.
The opening act was pure energy and fun with Broadway’s favorite Dreamgirls medley which segued to Mama Mia. Later they did a sexy Beautiful Liar, of Shakira and Beyonce but the crowd hooted to the more popular Aegis Medley.
The most applauded number was the back to back to back OPM hits which showed their strong connection to the people because these romantic ballad songs kind of brought the audience back home .
The finale was the biggest showstopper when they both pay homage to the artists they both adore -Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
When they ended the show, the audience clamored for more and they gave in with the most lifting duet of Barbra Streisand ‘s Piece of Sky. The performance was simply magnificent!
This show is the most splendid and fantastic concert ever. You should never miss it in your lifetime.It is an imperative for any music lover. A “must see’ with all the superlatives!
