Ate’s Birthday

It was Ate Precys birthday on Wednesday so just want to wish her a belated happy birthday on here :D We went to a place called 19 East in Sucat just outside Makati to watch a popular group here in Philly called Freestyle. Now I had watched them on a DVD before and to be honest I wasnt completely impressed. Dont get me wrong, they were good but I just didnt think they were worth all the hype that everyone was saying. There are 2 male singers and 1 female and they play a mixture of old love song covers with some twists on modern songs as well as originals of their own.

They started out with a cover of Lionel’s Easy. Not bad, I was pretty happy. Then the MJ songs came started. Now I should have mentioned before that 1 of the male singers has a voice very similar to MJ’s. By the end of the 1st MJ song I was speechless and as the night wore on he did medleys of the Kings greatest hits and at one point I just sat there with my eyes closed and to me it was as if MJ was on stage again.. Thats how good this guy was. I dont just mean vocally, Im talking every little sound that MJ used to make, he copied perfectly. I never had the pleasure of seeing MJ live but I am going to go out of my way to see this group again because they are easily the best I have seen live, ever. I also have to mention the female singer, who blew everyone away with her medley of Alicia Keys songs. It really was a great treat to hear these guys perform and I cant wait to see them again. The set didnt finish until 2AM so we didnt get home till 30 mins later but I didnt care. In my mind I had got to hear my idol, even if it was through someone else.. Thats how good they were.. RIP MJ :’(
