Guys, just wanna share yung kwento sa loob ng forum
hi guys, sorry po sa late kwento… 
eto super hang over pa din kami, 2 nights and yet bitin pa din.
Yes, totoo ang balita, sold out and jampacked both nights, 3 standing ovations on the first night as well as the second.
Power of One, September 24, 2010s
The show started with a really nice vtr, yung mga artist friends ni erik such as the likes of mega, zsa zsa etc. nagsalita sila sa video talking about power of dreams and erik. Super nice yung stage, goosebumps talaga kasi lumabas si erik sa nagsplit na huge lcd screen, together with the UP Singing Ambassadors, Corner of the Sky and When Doves Cry ang opening salvo nya, opening pa lang para ng pang finale na sa sobrang powerful.
Then he reminisced about his first time daw na masabihang hindi sya magaling at di nya makuha ang tamang pasok, tawa mga green minded na tao sa audience, tapos naalala daw nya nung nagstart pa lang sya, member pa sya ng boyband, kinuwento din nya ang first time experience nya mag act sa MMK. He sang I Wanna Hold Your Hand/How Deep is Your Love, (yup madlang people panay medley ang tinira ng lolo nyo, san ka pa?) lumapit sya sa audience, looked for his mom, tita lits, hay sabi nya naiiyak daw sya sa saya.
Sumunod na kumanta yung acoustic girls (Power of Youth), they were joined by erik after their number, they sang telephone, waking up in vegas then ang walang kamatayang don’t stop believing, yung mga girls except for hanna parang kinabahan, di sila kumakanta.
Erik Then he sang Rey Valera Medley, sunod nya yung sobrang moving na version nya ng Broken Vow, my gosh muntik kami baliwin ni erik dito, sobrang may kurot sa puso, erik owned the song, he made me realized how sad the song was about.
He called the “Power of the Ultimate Champion” Rachelle Ann Go, she sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow, superb version, andun lahat ng mga ASAP XV staff, may miss factor talaga. Tapos nagduet sila ni erik, To Where You Are/Memories…undeniable din talaga ang chemistry nilang dalawa, may miss factor din ang titigan. Sabi ni erik kahit nasa kabila na daw si Shin eh talagang constant pa din ang communication nila. Before mag exit si shin, sinabihan sya ni Erik ng I love You, din na ata nakasagot si shin pero sa twitter nag I love you too sya hehehe…sweet!!!!!
Next number nya about stepping out of the box and exploring new possibilities. He sang Iduyan Mo medley with Classical/Operatic song. Tapos nag thank you sya sa mga sponsors pero nilagyan nya ng twist by incorporating his bentang bentang impersonation ng mga friends nya na singer. Next na yung Power of One Idol, sabi nya dahil hindi ako masyado marunong sumayaw gawin nating ballad ang mga songs ng King of Pop, as usual amazing performance.
Eto na, he called na his ultimate idol, walang iba kungdi si Concert King Martin Nievera, it was touching to think na he just came from the states, nag stop lang sa pilipinas para sa concert ni erik, then off to japan, 1am ang flight nya. He sang his Medley of hits, everytime napapanuod ko si martin magperform palagi ako speechless. Tapos lumabas si erik, ramdam mo talaga yung admiration nila sa isat isa, martin even joked na they really sound alike, it’s scary hahaha…sabi nya pwede daw nya kunin double ang boses ni erik kung di na nya kayang kumanta, eh kaso daw din a pwede kasi sikat na rin si erik. Tapos naalala ni erik nung 10 years ako na nakipila sya sa CCP para mapanuod yung martin live, sabi nya balang araw kakantahin ko tong medley na to kasama ang idol ko sa stage. They sang Broadway Hits Medley, Standing Ovation po ito, san ka pa…Concert King and Concert Prince singing broadway hits together?!
He pays tribute to all the women on the audience by singing medley of celine/whitney/mariah. For me si erik lang ang nakakakanta ng female songs pero gawing male version at mapanindigan. He sang All by myself/On my own/Butterfly. Hay I ran out of good words to describe it na, basta sana may video, judge it for yourself.
This is it…he called his Ate Regine Velasquez na, regine sang Papa Don’t Preach, ballad medley, as usual amazing, ang sarap sa tenga bumirit si regine, wala pa rin daw pinapanganak na papalit kay regine pagdaing sa biritan, quote ko si erik. Ang kulet nilang dalawa, sobrang funny ng spiel nila, they talk about the book Secret, tungkol daw sa pag visualize ng dreams mo. Sabi ni erik, ate navisualize mo ba ni si kuya ogie ang mapapangasawa mo? Sabi ni reg hindi eh, si piolo daw ang tipo ng nasa visualization nya. Yung mga tipong piolo, pwede na rin daw si erik hahaha. Ganun daw talaga nasa mind ang visualization, sa puso wala, love is blind daw talaga. Sabi nila kanta na lang daw sila, my gosh matagal ko na to pangarap na iduet nila. They sang Sometime Somewhere/What Kind of Fool I Am duet, amazing, naku no words can describe it kaya watch nyo na lang ang video. Standing Ovation as usual, naks sanay na kami sa SO for erik hehehe.
Nagpasalamat sya sa Power of One God, he sang Lupa/May Bukas Pa medley. Kung madami ka kasalanan parang gusto mo agad magsimba after ng song. =)))
Then encore na, ang pinakahihintay ng mga mommies, he sang I Believe I Can Fly/This Is The Moment together with UP Singing Ambassador. It was majestic…people can’t help but stand and clap continuously. We want more pa pero May Bukas pa naman… =))))
2nd night kwento later….
