Matteo has said she’s the girl he wants to marry. How about her? “Siya rin talaga ang gusto ko, pero kung magiging kami bang talaga in the future, only God knows.”
Is it true that tickets to her Araneta Coliseum concert, “From the Top”, on December 4 are already all sold out so Viva Live has decided to give it a second night on December 5? “May mabibili pa naman pong tickets, pero maraming nagre-request ng second night so pinagbigyan sila ng Viva. Kaya nga nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng fans na sumusuporta. Basta promise ko, maganda ang kabuuan ng concert at masisiyahan sila nang husto. Naka-focus talaga ang concert sa mga kanta ko, yung top hits ko and also my own favorite songs na hindi nag-hit dito pero napansin kong kapag kinakanta ko sa shows ko abroad, sinasabayan talaga ako ng mga tao. At ako lang talaga ang mapapanood nila mainly sa show. Wala kaming lineup ng final guests. Kung magkakaroon man, surprise na lang ang appearance nila.”
She looks so slim these days. What does she do? “I really work out regularly in preparation for the concert, lalo na nang maging two nights ito. So kailangan, malakas ang resistencia ko, ang stamina ko to be able to perform difficult production numbers for two consecutive nights. I feel I have to do this to be fit not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. Bale 8th big concert ko na ito in a big venue and I want to make it unforgettable para sa lahat ng manonood nito.”
“From the Top” is under the overall direction of Paolo Valenciano (who has carved a name for himself as a concert director), with Louie Ocampo as musical director. For tickets, call Ticketnet at 911-5555 and Viva Concerts at 687-7236.
