Another enticing evening brought to us by Liezel, Bugoy, Cris and Hansen as they pumped up the crowd with their usual kicks! A pretty big audience for a Wednesday after-work breather. 

Bugoy and Liezel

Anyway, let’s cut right to the chase. Here’s Liezel’s song list.
- If I Were A Boy (Beyonce feat. Lee Carr) w/ Bugoy — “Hoo-we-hoo-we-he”-ala-R.Kelly spotted. Best version so far. 
- Crazy For You (Madonna)
- Burn (Tina Arena)
- A Thousand Miles (Vanessa Carlton)
- Kailan (Smokey Mountain) — Preferred the Ratsky version, still good.
- Take A Bow (Rihanna) — audience request
- Dance With My Father (Luther Vandross) — audience request
- Torete (Moonstar 88) – Two thumbs up!
- Buses & Trains (Bachelor Train)
- Emotions (Destiny’s Child) w/ Bugoy — Bugoy’s second voice attempt was just awesome. Plus, Liezel’s money note. Another two thumbs up!
- No One (Alicia Keys) 
- One Step At A Time (Jordin Sparks)
- No Air (Jordin Sparks feat. Chris Brown) w/ Bugoy
- Ever After (Bonnie Bailey) w/ Bugoy, Cris & Hansen

Highlights

Liezel

Liezel’s “Torete” was my fave. Notice how she sings the word “Torete” — fierce! Haha. The making-it-her-own variation of the “wag kang mag-alala” part just before the third minute was lovely. Watch it below.

Bugoy

Bugoy sang Standards! W00t! Loved his “The Way You Look Tonight” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”, although I wish he’d sing the latter in a slow tempo (PDA Gala style). And he knows his classic – “Love Will Keep Us Alive”.

No wonder he grabbed “New Male Recording Artist of the Year (Most Promising Singer)” in the recently held 40th Box Office Entertainment Awards. Congrats Bugoy! Talk about deserving.

Cris, stunning in her cowgirl inspired outfit, rocked the stage with “You Oughta Know” and “What’s Up”. We also heard her belt out a few lines from the Heart classic, “Alone”. Amazing, as always. She’ll sing the entire song next week! 

Hansen and Cris

Hansen charmed the audience with his PDA audition piece, “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin”, and a delightful version of Ryan Cabrera’s “True”. Both him and Cris also took on the Aguilera-Martin hit “Nobody Wants To Be Lonely”.

Jommy

Pinoy Fear Factor big winner Jommy Teotico jammed on stage with “Ako’y Sayo, Ika’y Akin”. I’m no PFF aficionado, but this guy can definitely sing!

Thank you soooo much = 8 times.

You gotta be there next Wednesday! It’s their last Bagaberde gig.. for now.

Catch Liezel, Bugoy, Cris & Hansen live this Wednesday, March 25, @ Bagaberde Grill & Resto (Roxas Blvd). Tickets available upon entry at P250.00 each. Show starts at 930pm.
