>LAST month, Regine Velasquez topbilled an intimate
>Crossover concert at the Mandarin Oriental with The
>Tux and Opera. What made the "Voices" show different
>was the fact that all of the songs were done a
>capella. The Tux and Opera provided the back-up vocals
>to compensate for the lack of instruments. They made
>use of vocal blending and harmony to keep each song
>interesting without overpowering Regine.

>Cheers greeted Regine as she sang "Biggest Part of Me"
>and "Tuwing Umuulan." These songs were vocally

>because their voices kept the song upbeat and lively.
