stephen bishop concert and songs i wish he sang

at around nine, southborder performed two of their old ballads--love of my life, and kahit kailan. i (and apparently the rest of the crowd) still like the voice of jay durias better than the new guys. i thought that the two new guys were supposed to replace luke alone. jay sang some lines, but he let the new guy sing more.

stephen bishop went on stage wearing blue pants and suit, black shirt and red pair of shoes. weird. he started with parked cars. a lot of people who watched his valentine concert (with michael johnson and david pomeranz years ago entitled reminscin) at the folk arts theater (when the tickets were still cheap then--imagine 3 artists for 1,500 front row na.) complained that he didn't sing this song. it's really worth complaining. it has good lyrics. then, he sang rhythm of the rain-- i don't really like that song so much. he cracked a joke. it's already his fourth time here. he was praising the mangoes and the women here. he mentioned that the food here is strange and that he was offered fish head soup. it reminded him of his ex-wife and he said that she had just remarried and that he was crying--for him.

he sang my favorite, send a little love my way. i did something stupid here. i accidentally erased the only mariah carey concert clip on my phone because i was all rushing to record this song. i remembered feeling lucky before when i heard him sing this song twice for his reminiscing concert (i heard him reherse this). then, he sang a song from his new album, dance of the heart. make it last still has the good lyrics of a bishop song, but i don't think i'd be considering it a classic just as the other ones. he sang his loveable upbeat song one love. then he sang the crowd favorite's breaking up song separate lives. this song was nominated for an oscar for best song (from the movie white knight). he lost to lionell richie for say you, say me. he sang another favorite of mine one more night. then little italy, then of course my first favorite stephen bishop song--never letting go.

he introduced lani misalucha and they sang on and on together. i still don't get it why on this song did they do a duet. then he gave the floor to lani and she sang bring me to life, and one of her new songs. then stephen came back, with no costume change, sang a new song--un baile del corazon. didn't like it. his last three songs were something new in my life, save it for a rainy day, and of course, it might be you. before he did this, he again cracked, 'oh i think i forgot something. it should be you, it could be you, it must be you, oh, it might be you!" pathetic.

there. i really hate the thought of majority of the crowd just went there to see him sing it might be you. and not a lot of people were familiar with his other hits. i feel so bad for it. oh, i was able to greet him a belated happy birthday too.

here's the list of my other bishop favorites that he didn't sing:

1. losing myself in you
2. badge
3. careless
4. a fool at heart
5. only the heart within you
6. same old tears in a new background
7. every minute
8. walkin' on air
9. heart and soul
10. everybody needs love
