Subject: Fan Reviews of Reigning Still Author: m.i.b. from various RV fans.. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:40:52 12/05/04 Sun From: Regine Fan "SOPE." Date: Sun Dec 5, 2004 Reviews of REIGNING STILL I watched the concert last night. Well, Regine is fantastic as usual, but I still like R2 and Retro more. The opening number is great and so with her number with Sarah, Sheryn and Kyla. Sarah is good but I noticed that she had a hard time sustaining her voice sa mga biritan. Parang humihina. Sheryn can reach high notes but honestly I dont like her voice that much. Parang ipit. Kyla was the best of them all. She stunned the audience with her performance. She really upstaged Sarah and Sheryn. Her number was the most applauded among the three of them. But, of course, the Songbird is still the best. What separates Regine from the other divas is that she can sustain her voice kahit pa napakataas. After that number, Regine said,"ang tawag diyan ay pamatay medley." I also like her other numbers like the one she did with San Miguel Chorale, her Michael Jackson Medley and of course Shine, her finale. I thought her rendition of Shine that night would not be as good as the recorded version. Kasi katatapos niya lang ng Michael Jackson Medley with matching dance number pa talaga to the delight of the audience. So I expected that she was already tired. But I was wrong and her rendition of Shine was fantastic and for me was even better that what we always here in the commercial. Ibang klase talaga at nakaupo pa siya sa stage ng kinanta niya. Many fans were still singing Shine while going out of Araneta. Lalo na ang mga gays na ginagaya pa ang pagbirit ni Regine. Tawanan talaga. I was really touched when she thanked all the people who helped her achieve her dreams to become a successful singer. She couldnt control her tears when she thanked her parents and the people who keep on supporting her. Then she sang My Miracle, I believe I can fly, and I believe, while her pictures since childhood were being flashed on the big screen. The audience was very responsive and Regine was even game and funny with her spiels. One gay shouted, "I love you Regine." She replied, "Thank you, sana naging lalake ka." Tawanan talaga ang mga audience. The numbers that I didn't like that much were her the medley of tuwing umuulan, pangako at kung maibabalik ko lang. The last one was fine with me because I rarely hear her sing this song, but the other two parang nakakasawa na. I was just sad that the Big Dome was not really full. Siguro mga 80% lang. Maybe this is due to the recent typhoons that struck our country. Siyempre iyong iba di pa nakakarecover. 2nd to the high cost of the tickets. The prices of the tickets were almost double as compared with her R2K concert. 3rd is that November and December are concert months. Napakadaming ngkoconcert and the price of the ticket is a lot cheaper than that of Regine's concert. I think it would be better that she hold her next major solo concert sometime April or May. But still, congratulations to the Songbird. You're still the best kahit pa anong sabihin ng iba. -------- second review ---------> --- Angela wrote: > > I watched on the second night, and it was truly > jaw-dropping!!!!!!

It was totally in contrast to the negative feedback by the viewers on the first night. Araneta was full. What a spectacular concert talaga! It was really worth watching. Now after hearing Kyla, Sarah, and Sheryn sang, I can say na they are indeed very promising "birit" singers BUT it will take great lenghts to approach Regine's caliber in terms of vocal prowess when it comes to "biritan" to the max. I think Regine has time and time again demonstrated that when it comes to biritan, she is still the number one talaga. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

So I went out early not to miss the show. However, there was no traffice on edsa and thanks to filipino time. I could watch all of the show. :) I was sitting on patron B-13(Thanks Joan!!!). Even though it was patron seat it was very far from the stage. Before I only watched concerts at Onstage, I expected more close look. At 8:30, there are still many vacant seats. I heard from Joan that there weren't so many audience on friday. I worried a little bit since it might bring down Regine. However, in 30 mintues, I hardly see vacant seats. Araneta coliseum was really full of audience. I hope to see other RVML members but it was almost impossible. But I saw Anton(?) who went to davao before. I still don't know why last rows of Patron(a) seats were vacant. While waiting for the show, I watched new music video and tv commerical and bought a photo book. Quite expensive but quite good too. But I hope that it would be better if there were old pictures too. The show start as Phantom of the Opera. Of course the magic was very much well known one but it was very amazing Regine did it during the show. Then it began to raining with a song;Tuwig Umulan(right??) And Regine kept on three or four more songs straight. It was very amazing. :) When Sarah, Kyla, and Sheryn joined the show. People really got excited. Sarah might be Regine in 1987. But sound system was not tuned enough for their voice range. When Ariel came back to back stage, Regine tapped his shoulder and said, 'my ex'. Maybe She is ok now and maybe not.. anyway that's not my problem. :) Sam Miguel Chorale(?), They were too many and the sound was very vague. It would be better they are half or 1/3 of the members. From the beginning till the end, Regine was really devote herself to the show. It was really amazing and my companion who doesn't know Regine also got impressed to her performance. (That's my favorite hobby. :) In the end of the show, her pictures from her very beginning were showing on the back of main stage. It was very fun to see her old pictures. I notice that I saw her pictures since 1994. It has been long but wonderful 10 years for me since then. Regine was very cute when she was holding a paper on which her name is written in chinese characters. :) I watche her concert since 2002 but this is the best one. Even though last concert Songbird sings was really poor IMHO. This show is really elaborated. I can feel it and others also can (and must) feel it too. :) As a curtain call, she sang Michael Jackson's. It was really amazing too. I thought she has no more energy after the long and powerful show. But she still got the energy.... That's why I like her. This show will be the last show for me since I'm leaving Philippines soon. But I'm really happy to watch the show and will be one of my best experiences in this country. :) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
