Last night Jon and I went to see Iconic: Sharon Cuneta & Regine Velasquez. I was familiarized with the A & R because of Jon being a big fan of both. After an extended wait, opening artists and such, the show opened to a full house of fans; and what fans! ABS-CBN executives and past notaries were in the audience as well as a cast member of Bling Empire! (Seated right behind us, we had good seats.)
The ease with which each artist performed both their and each other’s catalog of hits was easy and warm, like the embrace of an old friend.
Although a fair amount of the concert was in Filipino, much was in English and I thoroughly enjoyed the full two hour performance. There were two costume changes for a total of three outfits and each was a sparkling treasure. The artists were lovely, demure and exuded class and elegance to spare.
The easy banter between the artists made the time move quickly and kept the audience wanting more. If you get the chance, Filipino or just Filipino by association, go see this concert.
