As the grand champion of the recently held MEPZ singing sensation (MSS) last December 2008, I was invited once again to join the MSS’ Top 5 along with Freezy and Atan to do an opening number for Sitti’s concert here in Cebu at CICC last Valentine’s day.
It was one whopping experience. The venue was jampacked with Sitti’s eagerly waiting and avid fans. Then just before Sitti went on stage, the lights slowly went up and there we are. We then started singing our 10 minute medley of Stand by Me, Beautiful Girl, Overjoyed, Big Spender, Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Giving it all our best and thankfully, we did it successfully despite the short notice! It ended up with a loud cheering of the crowd, a defeaning applause with standing ovation and the five of us trying to catch our breath.
Sitti’s concert was joined in by special guest Lloyd Zaragoza. Sitti looked so lovely while she seamlessly belted out some of her favorite Bossa songs (I got to shake her hand at the backstage). Her signature voice was so cute as well and compensated her angelic face. Lloyd’s appearance puts laughter in the crowd as he witfully threw in some of his impromptu lines. And he sings RnB real good. All in all, the show was great and worthwhile.
