Recap
Start of the concert post
Installment Two
Installment Three

This was the part where Nicky said the duet with Manny "Pacman" Paquiao will not push through instead Westlife will pick out fans based form how creative their banners are. 

dvampyrlestat and l decided that we should prepare for the future concert and think of a banner that will guarantee a pick from Shane, haha... A big arrow pointing at me? *head desk*Any more suggestions? '☺

Since this was a big file. I've decided to post more of their tweet messages. This time: Mark's!

Andrea Corr in Manila and a moment for Sunday Scans

By Dayly Entertainment
Another Irish wave! ☺ I don't think I can afford this monthly gig of mine. Haha. Goodness, I remembered years ago that I seriously burned holes in my pockets when acts such as The Corrs,

From Upper Box A section


Patron Area Row H 
and British-Norwegian group A1 came to the country in a span 

A1 in Araneta 6th row, my cropping made it far
of months of each other in the same year! I so wanted to burn my credit card bill. Lolz. Well, I'm glad A1 came later in the year because I was booked for two dates for their concerts and there was that thing called airfare, which I wasn't totally minding. Oh, the fun it was it go out and enjoy your time with friends.

I'm looking forward to A1's latest album, Waiting for Daylight. Hearing the snippets of the new tracks played on their site made me think how much they've grown musically. It Happens Every Day, Bad Enough, Take You Home, Six Feet Under  are just among the tracks that spoke of the vocal growth, in my humble opinion as a fan. ☺ Although the track Good Things Bad People teases me as a listener that this song has  more meat in it that brings more flavor to the whole album. Ahhh, I want to buy the album.  

Lastly, it's Sunday and it's one  for the Sunday Scans. *sighs* Seeing these pictures makes me nostalgic and it also reminds me that it's really high time to make the most of what I can to reach my screenwriting goal on other my blog Passages of the Pen, which deals with my writing prompts gathered from sites or anything connected to screenplay and on the side, books.  ☺

Heinz Winckler: One Step Closer Album...

I've always been on a look for new music and my ears was snagged when the intro to”Chasing Shadows," played on way back 2002.  This was a track from Disney's Treasure Planet (South African release)  sang by Heinz Winckler



I always enjoyed watching the behind-the-scenes footage and I was lucky that our cable provider used to carry MNET channel.  After listening to him singing the track, it subsequently made me want to connect with other fans and I found one through Heinz' site. It was several years back and it was unfortunate that we've lost touch. 


Album Thoughts

The freshman album had a unified tone throughout which was interesting because even with the slower tempo songs, it still felt the songs were connected with the following song and so on. I don't think I've listened to something like this from my respective favorite artists from their own freshman albums. So that little difference made buying this album that cost me two arms and a leg (joke) and finding an appropriate courier to deliver it to me, worthwhile. Although after seeing my credit card bill afterward, I'd say, Ouch. Lolz. 

Where was I? Oh, some thoughts. The album gave me a tip of a diversified range of music styles to tickle my modest musical palate. Also, I've noticed that soloist can easily have a signature prevailing in their tracks. For Heinz, I didn't find it yet.  Maybe my ears are not that trained or I was practically in Cloud 9 every time I listened to this album. Anyway, just by the tracks, the vocals were varied that added flavor. It wasn't over the place too. I don't know if for his second and third album, his signature style of singing has exerted itself.

Rate: 4 stars out of five

The Tracks
Next Stop To Happiness   An upbeat song that suggested the person have been striving for all opportunities and finally it paid off and the person's on the fast lane. This is the first song off the 12-track album.

The Way It Is   A mid-tempo song about love's dying embers and what it would take to keep it. 

All Day, All Night  This track brings up the tempo a bit to tease the listener. It showcases Heinz lower vocal range. This is a hopeful track about treating the lucky person right "straight from the heart of mine," which will send girls swooning.
