Take That

It's Saturday and not a lot going on. Done with the food shopping for the week  while hubby is busy sorting out one of the rooms in the house, I kept myself entertained by watching Take That's last years's concert at Wembley in London on TV. As far as I could remember the group didn't play any instrument when they debuted in the 90's but certainly their come back showed the strength of such musical maturity. In this tour Gary Barlow took hold of the piano, Mark Owen on bass, Howard Donald on drums while Jason Orange played the guitar.

What is so striking about the show apart from the group's pop craftmanship was the grandeur circus theme.  I like the appearances of clowns, balloons, the metal elephant which walked them to the main circus stage. The show came to frenzy as the song Shine was sung and trapeze artists, jugglers, ringmasters graced the stage.

I was truly pleased to see the band together again. It's great to know that the group I earnestly followed in my teens have come back this big. This time they are more mature yet light hearted, funny with heart warming songs.

Below are some of the clips from the show and my favorites. Enjoy.

Something Pop

While I was looking for the video I have posted below I encountered a familiar name Sandara Parks from Arirang TV. Some of you perhaps heard of that name. She debuted in the Philippines in what I now call the equivalent of American Idol- the Star Circle Quest. As far as my memory takes me, this young lady was a good singer with a lovely face and a likable name. Yes, I do like saying her name. She did struggle learning Filipino but became fluent in the end. To make it short she became popular in the Philippines in both film and the music industry.
So now after seeing her back in her hometown Korea and speaking her own language, I'm glad she's done more for herself. Her last interview in the country was a bit emotional but she seem to be doing well now.

I like this video with Lee Minho..very cute.

And well, when you watch you'd notice something else. Let me just share the theme song of my holiday last month only because it kept playing over the radio and I didn't know who the girls were. So here they are..Even Alex remembered the tune when I played it.
