Mabuhay!
I'm glad I ate tikoy and wore red during Chinese New Year because I've been lucky since! I have to thank my friends Trish (please check out
www.papillofinestationers.com) and Ric for giving Aryanna and me their VVIP tickets to Janet Jackson's concert! You guys made us so happy! *screams*
Before going to the concert, I gave Aryanna a crash course on Janet Jackson and her music. Unfortunately, there was very little time for my daughter to absorb Ms. Jackson's career so she just went with me with an open mind. Haha!
The moment we walked in PICC, we immediately felt the excitement of everyone! As soon as the video started (yes, there were short videos in between JJ's performances as intermission numbers. They were a bit weird and narcissistic but I enjoyed it!) people chanted "Janet! Janet! Janet!..." and while all eye were on stage, JJ came out at the side of the stage and walked through the crowd! Wild! How's that for "Up close and personal"?
JJ sang her all-time hits, danced her signature moves, and gave the crowd a good show! I was on my feet most of the time and danced all night long! Even though JJ lip-synced, I am grateful that I was able to see her perform live! Her songs brought back so many beautiful memories. I love you for that, JJ!
Because sharing is caring...

Again, I was lucky to be seated next to my friend JM Rodriguez, Channel Head at Channel V slash Janet Jackson's substitute back-up dancer! Haha! Memorize pa rin nya ang step ni Janet! Wow!

Shoppingero/shoppingera, how do you feel about singers lip-syncing during a concert?

the concert looks awesome!! too bad i wasn't able to watch. But you and aryanna look happy and fasssyyoon!:)
Great pics!
i was there at the concert.
i don't think she lipsynched. Rather she sang live with some pre-recorded live vocals playing along so there were some parts were you can here her prerecorded vocals more loudly. The verses were mostly live. I had a great time!
Hi Anonymous!
I guess some singers, like what you wrote, "prerecord" their songs to preserve the quality of their voices during a concert. Anyway, like you, my daughter and I had a blast too!
It's amazing though that before the "prerecording" era, how James Brown and Tina Turner did it—sang and danced and you actually heard them pant after every number.
Thanks for your comment!
okay one word: JEALOUS!
you are lucky indeed ms.jenni :)
I saw your pics on mediatakeout with their watermarks. I wonder if you allowed them to use your photos.
