Kuh and Pops back on stage
Regine's music cronies & music mentors :
Kuh Ledesma and Pops Fernandez

IT WAS NOTICED- that the two Manilow songs mentioned
in this article are the ones Regine fans know she sang
in concert befoe and the other was included in Regine's
Manilow medley in her LIVE album. -mmJ +++++++++
KUH Ledesma has done very well in pairing up with the so-
called “divas” of local music. Her team-up with Zsa Zsa Padilla
in “Diva 2 Diva” is now one of the longest-running concert series to
date, wowing audiences all over the world more than two years after
it opened a the PICC.
Last Valentine’s Day, it was Concert Queen Pops Fernandez’s turn to
share the limelight with Kuh in "Let’s Talk About Love" at the
Captain’s Bar of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. From their opening
song to the last, Kuh and Pops consistently showed why they are
among the best female performers in the business.
The two divas treated audiences to some of the best and most
romantic songs like their renditions of "Love Moves," a beautifully-
arranged duet of "Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo" and "Paano," a Barry Manilow
medley ("Ready to Take a Chance Again" and "If I Should Love Again")
and a Burt Bacharach medley ("Make It Easy on Yourself," "Wives and
Lovers" and "Promises, Promises").
The audience particularly loved Pops’ performance of hits by
the ‘80s group Swing Out Sister, including "Breakout" and "Waiting
Game" and her "CCC Medley" featuring hits of three composers whose
last names begin with the letter "C" George Canseco ("Ikaw"), Ryan
Cayabyab ("Kailangan Kita") and Willy Cruz ("Sana’y Wala Nang
Wakas").
Kuh, meanwhile, drew a standing ovation when she brought audiences
back to the ‘80s with the early romantic hits of her career in "I
Think I’m in Love" and "One More Try."
Another revelation during the show was the presence of Kuh and Pop’s
special guest, McDonald’s Philippines president George Yang. Yes,
believe it or not, this high-powered businessman proved he could
hold his own against the Pop Diva and the Concert Queen as he joined
them onstage in several special numbers. With Pops, George performed
a stirring duet of that old favorite, "Someone to Watch Over Me"
plus two solo numbers ("Granada" and "Cinema Paradiso") before
joining Kuh in "The Prayer," a song originally popularized by Celine
Dion and Andrea Bocelli.
The concert was so enjoyable that after the last song, the audience
was left begging for more – and not just an encore, but more shows.
It seems that Kuh and Pops thoroughly enjoyed themselves as well,
since they have decided to give in to requests to re-stage "Let’s
Talk About Love" tonight and on March 4 and 10 at the Captain’s Bar
of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
For inquiries, call the Mandarin Oriental Hotel (750-8888), Music
Museum, (721-6726), Ticketworld (891-9999) or Headline Concepts (551-
7253 to 55).
