Burnin' Up The Stage, JoBros Style!



Now I'm speechless, over the edge, I'm just breathless. I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again. Hopeless, head over heels in the moment. I never thought that I'd get hit by this love bug again.

October 19 2012. The day my life began. 
If you haven't read my previous blog posts, you should know upfront that I'm a HUGE Jonas Brothers fan. I have been ever since I was just a freshman in high school and I've been waiting years for this concert to happen! After a two-year hiatus and working on their own solo projects, they've finally come back as a group. (Thank goodness, I don't know how much longer I would've lasted without any new JoBros songs in my life)

There were two opening acts for the Jonas Brothers. Paraluman played a few of their songs and really got the crowd excited. Up next was Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, a long time friend of the Jonas Brothers and a very talented Filipina! She had roles in Disney shows and movies such as Hannah Montana, Cake T.V. and of course, Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2. She also starred in the broadway revival of Godspell last 2011.


When the Jonas Brothers finally went on stage, I have no shame in saying that I freaked out! Up to now, I still can't believe I've actually seen them in the flesh!


In an article in the Inquirer by Pocholo Concepcion, it said that the Jonas Brothers would have no gimmicks, just music, during their 2-night concert here in the Philippines. It was amazing how they shifted from one song to another instantly! I loved that they were able to play so many of their hits that had everyone in the audience singing along. They gave such an amazing performance, bringing along their energy and enthusiasm. For Jonas Brothers fans, it was a real treat to finally hear Kevin Jonas sing. For those who aren't really familiar, Kevin usually sings back up or not at all, so for him to sing is a big deal for all the JB fans here! I also really loved their backdrop. It would change from the façade of a building to stars to just bursts of color. It was awesome!

They also played new songs from their upcoming album. I loved hearing their new sound and as a JoBro fan, it's nice to simply hear new songs. They played Let's Go, Like The First Time and  Wedding Bells (which is rumored to be about Miley Cyrus, ahem ahem). I'm so excited to get the new album!
They were able to play 26 songs!!
I loved how the Jonas Brothers gave their band a chance to shine by letting them sing on their own. I loved seeing Garbo, Jack Lawless, John Taylor and Ryan Liestman, the same band they started with, still with them today. It's so nice knowing that they aren't only a band but a family, it makes me love them more.



All in all, it was an AMAZING (yes, I know I use that word too much) concert! It met and exceeded all my expectations for an Jonas Brothers concert and now, I'm more hooked than ever! I can't wait for their next visit. I'm so happy with all the love the Jonas Brothers are got over twitter before and after the concert! It makes me so happy to see other people who also appreciate the music they make.
YUMMY.

Thanks so much Tita Debbie and Mom for the tickets! I love them! Best concert ever!
