regine reigns with 'reflections'

okay, so i caught regine velasquez' show at the aliw theater with a friend last saturday.

i had the 'okay, i've heard her a lot' feeling so i was really not expecting a lot from the concert. which was a good thing. a very good thing.

while she still had all those birit moments (what's a regine show without them?), the show had its fair share of silence and subtlety, which i loved as much as (if not more) than her vocal calisthenics.

it was money well-spent. 880 pesos. row v. not bad.

she must have sung close to thirty songs, if i am not mistaken. yeah, it was that sulit. she sang mariah and whitney, kuh and sharon, sheena easton, some of her own hits, barbra streisand. heck, she even sang spice girls, fer cryin out loud!

one more thing that i really loved? hearing her sing songs live for the very first time. which means that she decided to sing not those all-too familiar songs she used to sing, but the songs she grew up to, songs that have particularly deeper meaning for her, songs performed by the artists she looked up to when she was growing up.


and here's one of regine's guests: ai ai de las alas. she practically stole the entire show from regine with her witty antics and her birits as well. here, while singing on the wings of love with regine, ai ai glides with her butterfly wings (and harness).

damn blogger. i converted both this and the constantine poster to become vertical but it always uploads like this. shoot.
