"The Main Event" Concert

by Malou Sheets, September 8, 2008

The much awaited concert, "The Main Event," bringing together for the first time Asia's Nightingale, Regine Velasquez and Asia's Songbird, Lani Misalucha on Saturday, December 6, 2008 delighted thousands of fans that were roaring in admiration of the superb performances of these two extraordinarily gifted singers.

The opening number exploded with titillating, bouncy music and showcased not only their vocal range but also their dancing abilities.  Regine and Lani gracefully shifted to love songs and then on to dramatic theater and broadway music that brought the crowd to their feet, in awe of the hauntingly, beautiful and powerful performances.  Then, entered Mr. Martin Nievera, the Concert King himself, providing some light moments and funny exchanges that amused and tickled the crowd.   Finally, Martin rendered the sound of perfect music and harmony with Lani and Regine.

Martin Nievera's guest appearance was short but sweet and powerful.  He left the stage surely making an unforgettable mark expected from him as one of the best Filipino singing artist of all time.  His performance was a glimpse of his previous headliners and one-man show in Las Vegas.  

The music of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston were featured during the last portion of the show and, once again, the audience was mesmerized. 

Overall, the evening was filled with a combination of outstanding musical performances, funny and heart- warming Tagalog music and banter.   Regine's comedic timing was perfect and her quips were simply hilarious.   Everyone from the performers to the audience have a great time and enjoyed each other's company.  The Main Event Concert with Regine Velasquez and Lani Misalucha with the special participation of Mr. Martin Nievera was a night worth remembering and worth sharing.
