.. Mr. James Blunt!!!!!!!! “:>
-

and so where do i begin? im still smiling to myself everytime i remember the concert last night @ the Araneta Coliseum. it started an hour late. o well that was kinda expected. but when the show began we didnt really mind the delay. james’ very first song was I Want You from the recent All the Lost Souls album. ’twas the first time i heard it really and i loooooove it agad. as in.
-
the whole repertoire was a combination of the Back to Bedlam album and the recent one mentioned above. the concert wasnt that well-attended for whatever reasons :( there could be, but hey it was worth the watch and im sure everybody present there did have a great, great time. really!
-
i love it when he spoke with that heavy, heavy brit accent. :D he talked a bit of the songs before singing them. “this next song im gonna play you will make that one sound like a happy one (goodbye my lover) cos this is really miserable.” hehe. he was referring to his next song No Bravery relating it to the time he was in the army.. witnessing life and death. cute niya din magsalita ng tagalog.. maraming salamat, paalam.. hehe.
-
ala akong matitinong videos at photos dahil ang dilim. (i might search youtube for better videos.) the only one i took in full was “You’re Beautiful” (gosh it takes forever to upload so gotta skip this one.)

james head-bangs hehe
-
dont know what song was in the video above but boy! james sure headbanged at the piano =)). the crowd just went wild hehe. ang likot niya galaw ng galaw.. ikot ng ikot except for the really slow ballads of course. there was this one time he surprised everybody by going down to the audience and quickly made his way to the throng of people.. mabilisan lang inikot niya ang oval don sa baba at bumalik din agad sa stage. whew i wasnt able to capture that one, nagpanic kasi di ko napindot record button hehe.

all in all, i wasnt expecting the James that i witnessed last night. seeing him on tv appearances and the videos released, he seemed the serious type. my mistake. he is fun and playful, he has charisma, he is down to earth, he connects with the audience, and undeniably.. without question.. a great, great singer-composer. his voice alone is more than enough to capture my heart :P
-
you’ll really be be with the quality of his voice. kahit alang accompaniment maa-appreciate mo talaga. so strong. so solid. so raw. so full of heart. so full of soul. lahat na hahaha!
-
another special event that’ll forever be cherished “:> “:>

.. that is the question!!!
-
two more weeks and james will be here weeeeeeeeeeee! :”>
-
sana..sana makanood ako. kahit sa pinakadulo lang ng araneta coliseum
-
ok na marinig ko lang boses mo james :”>
-
kinda tight on the budget nowadays ‘cos of the present economic situation in the country. gosh! lahat nagtataasan! as in ramdam na ramdam namin :-S (actually the recent food crises is not only felt in the Philippines but also in the neighboring asian countries.. haaaaayyy.. hirap maging batang third-world.)
-
pero james! james! alam kong wrong timing ang concert mo but i will really, really try to set aside for the tickets makita at marinig lang kita. crossing my fingers that i’d have spare this coming sweldo.
-
if not, see you in YouTube na lang =))

what a way to start the week. i checked out TicketNet’s website at ito bumulaga sa kin..

whaaaaaaaaatttttttttttt?!?! nong Friday lang sinabi ko sa isang friend, Sana pumunta dito si James Blunt. gooossssshhhhhh nagdilang-anghel ba ko or what? :D

it’s a lazy afternoon here at the office. doing nothing much.. just burning backup CDs of user files. it’s kinda boring so while i copy thousands of files, i turned to you tube. so here i am.. idling the afternoon away with james blunt :D

couldnt think of anything better and more inspiring.. gosh his songs makes me wanna cry..

gosh! saw James Blunt featured on Channel V’s Mainstage. grabe mapa-live man eh galing talaga ng boses. he sang songs from the Back to Bedlam album. he had this one song not included in the album so i guess it was new. great song also. forgot the title though. he is really, really amazing! amazing voice.. amazing lyrics.. amazing talent! when he sings, oh my, i cant help but give my undivided attention. you just get carried away with his intensity. till now just never get tired playing his songs over and over again. i wonder why most of his songs dont have a video? or i just keep missing them on tv?
