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.

Kanye West Upstages Taylor Swift at MTV’s Video Music Awards (VMA)

September 14, 2009 by Janey

Taylor Swift, the cutest American country pop singer, won Best Female Video in MTV’s Video Music Awards and bested out Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Beyonce.

She took the stage to accept the award and deliver her thanks when Kanye West suddenly jumped on stage and grabbed her microphone to declare that Beyonce should have won because she had the best videos of all time.

The crowd booed the Kanye interruption and Kanye stormed off stage. Swift was left on stage flabbergasted looking at the floor before she was ushered off stage. Beyonce was as stunned as Taylor Swift.

Watch what happened

**UPDATE**

Beyonce won Best Video of the Year, the biggest award of the VMA show, and generously shared the spotlight with Taylor Swift. Beyonce danced her way to the stage, with the Single Ladies playing on the background. “Wow, this is amazing. I remember being 17 years old, up for my 1^st MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment…”

She then calls Taylor to the stage, “where are you?” The crowd cheered in uproar. Taylor comes out in a red ensemble as well, different from her silver backless gown she wore earlier during her acceptance speech, approaches Beyonce and gives her a hug.

“Maybe we could do this again,” Swift opened her statement. Like any grateful kid, she thanked the director of the video, including the fans who followed her on MySpace and Twitter and her brother’s high school for the video venue.

Chris Brown Apologizes

July 21, 2009 by Janey

Chris Brown publicly apologized for the beating of Rihanna, releasing a video on his website on Monday (http://www.chrisbrownworld.com).

Brown was arrested in February following a pre-Grammy party when he fought with his ex-girlfriend R&B princess Rihanna in a rented sports car. He was charged with felony assault. Brown was said to have pushed Rihanna from the car and repeatedly hit her. It came to a point where he almost choked her. He fled from the scene leaving a shaking and crying Rihanna.

He turned himself on the evening of the Grammy Awards, where he was supposed to perform with Rihanna.

In the two-minute video, he apologized to fans saying that he’s still seeking help and wants to live his life as a role model. He said that he was not proud of what he did. He also assures the fans that he has also repeatedly apologized to Rihanna. Brown referred to the beating as “the incident.” He calls his conduct “inexcusable” and says his mother has taught him better.

Brown in an earlier interview confessed that he witnessed domestic violence growing up. Before the beating, Brown was considered a squeaky-clean R&B up-and-comer. He rose to prominence after the 2005 hit “Run It!” He was nominated for a Grammy for “No Air” with Jordin Sparks and named Billboard’s top artist in 2008. The incident has clearly damaged his reputation. Brown lost sponsorship deals, radio stations stopped playing his music and other artists condemned him after the attack.

“I felt it was time you that heard directly from me that I am sorry. I saw firsthand what uncontrolled rage can do,” he tells viewers. “I have sought and am continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again. I intend to live my life so that I am truly worth of the term ‘role model. “

Chris Brown will face sentencing on August 5, 2009, which will likely be 5 years of probation and 6 months of community labor.

[Chorus:]
Oh!

No Air

Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air

If I should die before I wake
It’s ’cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh

I’m here alone, didn’t wanna leave
My heart won’t move, it’s incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

But how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
‘Cause my world revolves around you
It’s so hard for me to breathe

[Chorus:]
Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air
Can’t live, can’t breathe with no air
It’s how I feel whenever you ain’t there
It’s no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain’t here, I just can’t breathe
It’s no air, no air

Mo Interviews Chris Brown on Magic 89.9

October 21, 2008 by Janey

I just heard Mo’s interview of Chris Brown on the radio Magic 89.9

Mo asked if Chris Brown and Rihanna would do a joint number on stage… Chris Brown answered that he wants the crowd to be surprised at the concert. The concert will definitely be made special whether they do a tandem together or do it back to back, but Chris Brown didn’t want to ruin the thrill of what to expect.

Mo claims that Chris Brown and Rihanna concert will be the country’s powerhouse concert for 2008. Chris Brown recently wrote songs for the Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears.

Mo: With all the Chris Brown money, what’s the number 1 thing on your shopping list?

Chris Brown: I’m not a bling bling guy.

Mark your calendars. November 16, 2008. My friends have bought their tickets. Most of them are getting Gold. I haven’t bought mine but planning to in 2 days. Still can’t decide which ticket to get.

Rihanna is supposed to guest on the Good Times with Mo, Mojo, and Grace Lee show on Thursday.

On other news:

Beyonce announced that she would now like to be known as “Sasha Fierce.” She supposedly needs an alter ego whenever she is at “work” or whenever she performs on stage –a screen name that will protect her and who she really is.
