Jessica Sanchez performed at the Areneta Coliseum Thursday night (Feb 14) in Manila, Philippines for an extremely enthusiastic crowd.

It was a homecoming of sorts for the American Idol runner-up. Her mother’s family hails from the Southeast Asian country. And, she’s returning to the homeland after spending time there last fall performing a concert with her fellow season 11 Idols and taking part in various promotional opportunities.

American Idol alum, Colton Dixon was her opening act.

Jessica’s set list included: Can’t Take My Eyes off of You, Human Nature, Love on Top, Valerie, Someone Like You, Love the Way You Lie (with Colton), Ikaw, I Will Always Love you, Dance with My Father, Steal Away, And I Am Telling You, Nobdy’s Supposed to Be Here, Fairytale and Jump In.

Check out a few of the videos here. There’s more at Blujakalo

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Jessica opened the show with a Four Season’s cover by way of Lauren Hill.

     Yeah , I don’t know if we’ll ever get the exact attendance figure, but all we know is the number is something north of 13,000. Even without any external factors, that’s very impressive for a new artist. When you add factors like numerous competing concerts (most with Cheaper tickets than hers) and the fact that she neither has an album nor a single out yet, it becomes even more impressive. The Philippines loves Jessica. Hope she can use her support base from there to launch a successful international career.

    Especially ‘Love On Top’ . Just imagine how different things might have been had she performed ‘Love On Top’, rather than the outdated and overused “I have Nothing”. She may not have won, but it would have definitely helped.

    I am so happy to be hearing all the music Jessica performed and the wonderful reception she received.  She has the total package, and I wish her continued success on this journey!

    Almost the same as AI Live! tour’s. Her Filipino fans really love her; they still went to her concert despite the very expensive tickets.

    The tickets to Jessica’s concert were pegged in the range of 795 ($20) for general admission (the rafters) to 10560 ($265) for patron seats. The next least expensive seats were priced at almost $75. On the other hand, tickets to the  big concert at another same-capacity arena by four established local concert artists, had their lowest at $13 and highest at $160. Over at the ballroom of a 5-star hotel, John Ford Coley played retro music, plus a slew of other shows by local performers at different venues across Metro Manila. And the following night, Paramore performed – also targeting the Valentine market.
