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.

-  Lovebug (Jonas Brothers)

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!

You'll Find Me Chasing THE WANTED

I had such an awesome time during The Wanted concert last September 14! First off, I really want to thank Tim Yap for giving us the awesome tickets!!

Now, I've been a fan of The Wanted ever since I heard a snippet of their song, All Time Low, in DJ Earworm's Like, OMG Baby (Capital FM Summertime Ball Mashup) Remix of the Top 15 Pop Songs in 2010. It had, at most, just 5 lines but it was enough for me to google them. You can imagine my reaction when I found out that they were coming here for a concert! I was absolutely ecstatic!!

For those of you who don't know, The Wanted is a British-Irish band that was formed back in '09. Jayne Collins, the same woman who put together The Saturdays and Parade, was the one who held the auditions and put these gorgeous men together.

The show started off with the awesome Pioneer Dj, Arra Pascual. It felt more like we were at a party than a concert. She played songs that got everyone in the mood to dance!

After DJ Arra's performance, the audience was getting antsy, people shouting and screaming the moment anybody came on stage. The moment the boys came out, all hell broke loose! The screaming of girls was all anyone could hear (I admit to being part of that screaming). They started off with their song Invincible.

I just have to say that I have the BIGGEST crush on Nathan, and he's the only one in the group that's my age *wink wink*. I went with my best friend, Tin, and we were surprised to see that most of the fans were 11-16 year olds. I assumed that the fan base of The Wanted here in the Philippines were people around my age, but hey, these kids have good taste.

Moving on... I really really enjoyed the concert! I kept shouting and dancing and just really got into it, while my partner in crime, Tin, just stood there watching me, wondering what in the world was happening to me. 

I loved that the boys weren't scared to be themselves and just be goofy, doing little dances to the side and just being funny. You could see that they were comfortable and loved what they were doing. Their performance was also very very good. They had high energy and it was very infectious. It was difficult not to jump up and down and dance to their songs.

Jacqui, my lucky sister, was not only able to go to the Meet and Greet of The Wanted, but during Heart Vacancy, they wanted some of the audience members to go up on stage to sing to. Of course, Max saw my sister in her I love British Boys t-shirt and picked her. I swear she was close to tears as I watched her hug Max and the rest of the group.

Some of my favorite photos of the night

They had a group hug which made me laugh cause they all looked so cute!

This is one concert I won't soon forget. Super thank you again to Tim Yap for not only the tickets, which was more than enough, but for the signed Battleground album as well!!!! I absolutely love it! Thank you!

This is an SOS! Jonatics, Hold On!

If you guys don't know, I'm a very very big fan of the Jonas Brothers. I've loved them ever since before their days in Disney.

I've been waiting for them to come to the Philippines for about 8 years now. As more and more bands and artists came, I started to lose hope since they've been absent from the music scene for a while now. But I just got AMAZING news! I saw a tweet from Philippine Concerts and Manila Concert Scene saying that they are coming here for a concert this OCTOBER 19, 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Of course, like any normal Jonas Brothers fan, I started to FREAK OUT!!

Jonas Brothers soon became the Trending Topic here in the Philippines.

And of course all my crazy fan-girling tweets

Now all I'm waiting for is the start of ticket selling! No price is too high for a Jonas Brothers concert! I've already even changed my cover photo on facebook!
