Oh... how come I didn't know much earlier that Nicki Minaj will have a concert here in Manila. It was only today that I realized that she had a concert last night at SM Mall of Asia Arena. Oh I guess I'm old enough to be in her concert too because my generation is during Madonna, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet in the 80's. My teenage niece also missed it because she has no money to go there. Anyway, we'll just wait for the videos in YouTube and probably a special on TV.

All I am sure is that her fans will not be disappointed because there's no doubt that they'll be using state of the art musical instruments. Plus, Nicki will be bringing the house down with her good music and dance moves. I'm looking forward though for the concert of the American Idol Season 11 come September here.

Wow, a lot of foreign singers are having their concerts here in our country this year. From old singers to new one plus band to solo or duet artists, they are coming here. It’s good for our country and the music industry though our local artists can’t help but to be a little sad because shows of foreign artists are flocked and patronized.

Sure we want to patronize and support our very own local artists but we also have the reason to watch shows of foreign singers. Not only they have great music, great stage and sound, but they don’t have shows here all the time so it’s a privileged for our country to be picked by those singers to staged their concerts and shows. Anyway, the 80’s singers like OMD (Orchestral Maneuver's in the Dark) just had their concert last Feb., Blake was also here last March for series of shows and more.

Here are some upcoming concerts of foreign artists to watch out:
