Purplesmile, I know what a big fan you are so am happy youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re getting to see him but must admit Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m a bit jealous that you all got to hear so many songs.

Aww…sorry, bean. :p Yes, I was thrilled that MJ came here, too. Am I lucky or what?

Re: tonight’s Glorietta show, which I, aaarrghhh, missed (as I’m out of town), my secretary who went to see a little bit of the show reported to me (she knows her job, doesn’t she? haha!) that Michael sang Bohemian Rhapsody and another song she didn’t know (which might be, ahem, Purple Rain) and that he sounded great. She also said the place was packed and there were lots of screaming fangirls.

Kamusta purplesmile.

Kumusta ka rin, Fran?

I did watch a few seconds of some clips and Yellow, Daughter and Wonderwall sounded awesome. His voice is just amazing even when the audio is scratchy.

I wonder if Michael takes requests…lol.. I am still waiting for him to sing Vision Of Love. And if he can swing it, his own songs from The Rising days and Live at The Apple Store. His own songs are some of the best I’ve heard for a long time.

Thanks for the recap, Seachange. Purplesmile, I know what a big fan you are so am happy you’re getting to see him but must admit I’m a bit jealous that you all got to hear so many songs.

What a treat to hear all these songs.

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“If You Could Only Seeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  would have been a great song for him to sing on AI. One of my all-time favorites and he nailed it.

I confess I wasn’t familiar with this song but I loved it!

my little clip (this one is short but not bad, if I may say so ;D)

He looked and sounded marvelous. I liked his original songs. They were fast-paced and rocking. He was very game, considering that in a show like this you have your real fans (the screaming people in the seats), your random passers-by, and everything in between — including the people on the escalators beside the stage looking onto the stage (“Who’s that? Oh, it’s Michael Johns from American Idol! Let’s watch for a while. OK, time to go.”) That must have been very distracting for him. He did try to get people outside the seated area involved.

After the show my friends and I walked by the area where they were doing meet and greet (I don’t remember that Taylor Hicks did this when he did this same thing last year). Filipinos, like most Asians, don’t normally hug each other unless they’re closely related or intimate friends. Each time Michael hugged a girl everyone screamed. LOL.

asa, the concert lasted about an hour. I think he did say the album is coming out in March.

Thanks purplesmile! Is it true that Michael said he’s planning on making “Feelin’ Alright” his first single? I read that in a review and wanted to check.
