I just stumbled upon this video of this young boy with the most incredible talent! I got goosebumps the minute he started to sing! He just made the Lady Gaga hit “Paparazzi” totally his own.

I came accross this video of a live-mix-acoustic medley of Lady GAGA hits by this guy called Sam Tsui. I think it is brilliant! He should audition for American Idol! I LOVE IT! I want to watch Lady GAGA again! I hear she will be back in March, but this time in Japan! Time to save up!
Enjoy the video! It made me clap at the end of it!

Paging all the local music executives out there, this is a HOT ONE! LOL! Each time I listen to the video, I cannot help but smile and that is always good!

Rock and Roll plus Fashion is always a good mix! After getting well from the flu and feeling so much better (Thank GOD!), I decided to pop in at the HOY HOY ONDOY event! It was spearheaded by Tim Yap, Jay Ortega (who incidentally is the director for Project Runway Philippines season 2) and Saga Productions!
The event was a combination of many things! First, it was fundraising and awareness campaign to continue to help the victims of the flood. Second, it was a ROCK CONCERT! There were so many rock bands that donated their time and talent for FREE so that the organizers could raise some major MULAH! All the proceeds of the event would be going to the RED CROSS! Finally, there was a fashion angle. Fashion people also came in full force as top Philippine designers joined in to donate their creations and had a silent auction.
The crowd was a wonderful motley crew of a rockers, fashion folk, young business men and many more. I loved looking at the crowd and generally got a high from seeing that all these people really wanted to help out! By 11 pm, they had collected close to 250 thousand pesos from donations! How wonderful is that? I slipped out soon after that as I did not want a relapse of my flu! However, as I was leaving the event, all I could fee was JUBILATION!
The rock scene! I loved the chill vibe of the crowd enjoying the cool music!
The dance group Pinoy All Stars were there! These hip-hop dancers are just AMAZING!
Head organizer Tim Yap with super model/host Joey Mead! (Joey's family home was flooded badly.)
Nix and Joey! The look of ROCK-CHIC!
Tim with the super pretty Heart Evangelista.
The Fashion Angle!
Dr. Khaz! He has been sharing his services pro-bono in several relief centers around the metro!
Top Models Sanya & Mia collecting donations at the front door!
Divine Lee won the auction for my gold gown! I think it's a perfect match!
Cool installation!
The new fashion tribe! Em, Martin and Veejay!
Super cool dude Illac Diaz was there!
Relief good ready to be shipped out to the victims! Love the fact that the bags were not plastic!
Mobilizing the goods!
BIG HUGS!
RAJO!
Each time I hear this song, it makes me happy! I cannot help but jump up and down and just feel good! I saw this on YouTube today and I had to share this with all of you! I mean, I love this song and I love OPRAH! It’s the kind of thing that just erases all the blues away!

I was so lucky to have been able to watch the concert of Lady Gaga! We had Freaking FRONT row seats! The tickets were given to me by my darling friend, the stunning Ruffa Gutierrez. Lady Gaga was everything and more! She really gave everyone a good show! We were on our feet dancing away from the very minute she sang her opening song all the way to the end! I loved the energy! The entire Araneta Coliseum was full to the rafters and you could feel the whole place just gyrating to Lady Gaga’s music!
It was a really fun experience, and a couple of my friends even said that they were “bitin,” but I always feel and think that the best shows are those you leave wanting more!
Ruffa in full "fight"mode, complete with the "taras-vulva" hair style. I think she was channeling the '80s!
My concert partners! Ruffa & Robbie!
The new Pussycat Dolls! LOL! Ruffa's gal pals were in shades of gray! Charina, CJ and Alta. (Heck, even I was in grey! LOL!) It was as if they all had this inner memo! Cutoff jeans and gray!
When we walked in the coliseum, everyone was there! It was like a gigantic party! We bumped into my friend Jeff from Japan! Who I need to catch up with!
Then I saw our National Artist for Fashion! Pitoy Moreno! I love the fact that he was so game to watch the Gaga Girl! LOL!
Check out the Araneta Coliseum full to the brim!
First act! We were on the first seats but on the extreme right!
Her first song was Paparazzi!
Her outfit was made from this reflective material. I liked the shape that it created.
Her energy was like amazing! I was in complete awe of her!
Art shots....Kuno!? LOL! I like this photo though.
Caught in the crowd: Tim Yap and the beautiful Anne Curtis.
Her second set was all about studs and denim! My goodness, even her crotch had studs! LOL!
Only The Gaga can pull of a peaked shoulder all in one!
Her mike stand was fierce!
3rd outfit reminded me of Alexis Carington Colby of Dynasty without the skirt! LOL!
It had a Claude Montana vibe!
One of the final looks!
The dancers were also very good!
I swear that she looked at me as I took this shot and gave me a wink!
KC was rocking herself in a frenzy! Loved the accessory of the night! A disco wand!
The evening night of beauties! LOL! Thanks Jenny, Ria et all! Big hugs!
HUGS!

I was given free tickets to watch the band Journey last Saturday! I have a confession to make: I am the farthest thing from a rock and roller, and I kind of know the songs of Journey, but I was not really a fan. My ’80s music was more of the New Vave variety, like The Cure and Siouxsie and The Banshees. LOL!
Being the “Kaladkarin” that I am, I was not going to pass up an opportunity of a free ticket! LOL! I also wanted to experience for myself the powerful voice of Arnel Pineda! For all of you who do not know the fantastic story of Arnel Pineda, do not worry – a documentary is now in the works and the movie on his story will be out soon enough. In the meantime, log on to YouTube and search for him to hear his amazing voice. I had goose bumps the minute he started to perform! Every inch of my body would tingle with pride when he would shout “para sa iyo ito, PILIPINAS!” I wanted to be part of that momentous occasion. Even if I didn’t know all the songs of Journey, I was still so ecstatic to be there!
My photos were not that great, so I lifted and borrowed these from my friends Cyrene de la Rosa and JJ Yulo! They had better seats and better photos than me! LOL!
The weather was perfect and the audience area was full to the perimeters!
HUGS!

We were so excited for the Chris Brown and Rihanna concert yesterday! It was as if we were just preparing for it the whole day. I have to be honest that I was not so familiar with most of their songs, so we looked for their CD’s and did a crash course on their music.
We decided to go early as we heard from friends that the traffic was getting scary. Everything went on smoothly and went to our designated standing room only area. A couple of my friends had seats (Bleacher seats) but I found this far from the stage so we decided to just stand nearer to the stage.
At around 8:10 it started, a man came descending from the top of the stage inverted, like some urban Batman. He then started to be joined by hooded dancers and did a really cool number, I thought that
it was just an opening act but NO! It was Chris Brown himself!
Opening number: Chris Brown descending like an urban Batman!
He performed for over an hour and I loved his portion! You could really feel that he was giving his all! I loved two portions of his part: the homage to Michael Jackson and the song “With You”! He was really so GALENG! I lost my voice just screaming!
Love this part where he payed homage to the great Michael Jackson!
Fireworks as intermission!
The Rihanna stage!
After his part they transformed the stage for Rihanna. It took quite some time and good thing the producers came out with some fireworks display to entertain the 70,000-strong audience! Personally , I came to see Rihanna as I am more familiar with her songs. She came out looking great! A look that combined S&M bondage with a bit of Alma Moreno (Tangga and all) LOL!
Loving her S&M bondage outfit!
Remember the Tangga? Well, it maybe making a comeback! LOL!
Her first song was Disturbia! It was a great song to open but somehow I felt she was not giving it her all! The Filipino audience is one of the most responsive audiences in the world (I think that is one of the reasons a lot of the foreign artists come to perform here). We are sensitive to the point that if the artist is not in top form we can feel it. I felt that Rihanna was tired. She looked fantastic but she her voice was not in the best shape.
I love it when she takes it slow, her voice comes out better.
The finale! Umbrella song with a Rastafarian vibe to it! Think reggae version.
I still enjoyed her part of the show but I felt that Chris Brown did a better performance. Here are some blurry photos from that evening! See you!
Behind me was my favorite Gary V! He just did his 25th anniv show and I was hitting myself as I forgot my camera in the car! His show was awesome!
The concert gang! all heated up from the concert! Mosh pit is like Bikram yoga! You just need to breathe!
Post-concert drinks and analysis with my troupe! Malu, Ipe & Leica!
HUGS!
RAJO!
