Paramore Concert in Manila –What happened?

March 11, 2010 by Janey

A lot of my friends were excited about the Paramore concert. 2 days after the Manila gig, there’s a big buzz on the net. I didn’t watch the Paramore concert but from what I read online I think there were a lot of unhappy VIP ticket holders because their area was switched with the Gold ticket holders. There was no advise that they were going to switch the Gold and VIP sections –a compelling reason why most VIP ticket holders are asking for refunds. Bottom line seems to be that they didn’t enjoy the concert anymore because of all the last-minute movements and the fact that they feel that they paid a premium to get a closer experience of the Paramore concert.

I wonder what really happened?

The concertgoers are there to enjoy the music and overall experience. It’s sad to know that a lot of Paramore fans went home upset.

The Timbaland concert featuring Jojo and Justin Timberlake is already on March 27. I’m not really keen on watching a concert in open grounds after a hot and tiring Chris Brown & Rihanna concert in Manila in 2008. I guess I’m just not really big on outdoor concerts –being used to the air-conditioned and seated ambience of Araneta Coliseum.

But since it’s Justin Timberlake and Timbaland and Jojo. I can make an exemption. I can feel that this concert will be a blast!!! 🙂

I surefire don’t want to jinx it so I won’t give too much details but… I met with someone from MTV last week and… *crossing my fingers* I’m just all excited about it.

I hope there won’t be any last minute shuffling there! 😉

Timbaland, Jojo and Justin Timberlake Live in Manila Concert

February 19, 2010 by Janey

***UPDATE*** Timbaland concert will supposedly start at 930 PM tonight to make way for Earth Hour.

Rumor has it that Timbaland will have a concert in Manila and his special guest is supposedly Justin Timberlake!!! I love Timbaland but shouldn’t it be the other way around –a JT concert in Manila featuring Timbaland? At any rate, I don’t mind who’s on the spotlight but I would love to see both Justin Timberlake and Timbaland in one show -it would be one sizzling performance!!!

U92 is launching, which is the push behind the concert of Timbaland who is supposedly coming to Manila together with Jojo and JT. I’m so excited to get confirmation on this soon. My only gripe is, I wish it was going to be held in Araneta Coliseum.

This should be a battle cry of each and every one of us.

This November, SEAChange is holding the Youth Engagement Summit 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Youth Engagement Summit (YES2009) is a platform to create a cadre of engaged, active youth leaders dedicated to making positive changes happen in their communities and in the world. Change is key for any improvement. I want to learn more how to make positive changes in me and within the community. I’m also very excited to meet global icons like Twitter co founder- Biz Stone, Facebook director of market and development – Randi Zuckerberg, Live8 Founder Sir Bob Geldof and chess wizard- Garry Kasparov.

They are sponsoring 500 seats to YES2009 and 163 seats are already taken. Sign up NOW and get a chance to be a Philippines representative to the Summit.

YES, we can!

Thanks to Kate for the heads up!
