Admittedly, Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez still make a good couple.
This is the general consensus of the audience of One A-More Time, the Valentine's concert of the former couple held last night, February 14, at SMX Convention Center, Pasay City.
Pops and Martin's heart-tugging duets and playful banter onstage made everyone wish they did not have to break up after two boys and13 years of marriage.
At one point, the two were even in tears, seemingly affected by the songs they passionately delivered. Comedian Jon Santos's cameo performances suggested Martin and Pops's special closeness throughout the night.
ROCK-INSPIRED INTRO. The concert started around 9:30p.m. with Martin and Pops singing rock-inspired renditions of Santa Esmeralda's "You're My Everything," Marc Anthony's "I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You," and Ronnie Dyson's "Just Don't Want to be Lonely." Dance group Hotlegs fired up the stage while Martin and Pops were singing.
Next up was a medley of love themes that allowed the audience to relax in their seats, and to remind them of the love that could still be. Tunes included Maureen McGovern's "Put A Little Love Away," Spinners's "Just As Long as We Have Love," The Delfonics's "La-La (Means I Love You)," The Stylistics's "You Make Me Feel Brand New," and Peaches & Herb's "Reunited."
After singing love songs, the former couple reminisced the past with an exchange of playful words. After Pops said a kiss would be okay for her since she's single and "loveless" anyway, and Martin is not, the "Concert King" retorted, "The Philippines is the only country I know where women are proud to announce they're loveless."
But Pops continued telling the audience, "baka merong lalaki dyan na may kagwapuhan o kayamanan to show me... how much they care for me, or something."
MOVIE THEME SONGS. Agreeing that their love story was like a movie, the two sang the theme songs of hit romantic Hollywood movies.
The set list included Ronan Keating's "When You Say Nothing At All" from Notting Hill, Tony Bennett's "The Way You look Tonight" from My Best Friend's Wedding, Kenny Loggins's "For the First Time" from One Fine Day, and Celine Dion and Clive Griffin's "When I Fall in Love" from Sleepless in Seattle.
After the theme songs, Martin and Pops sang love songs that were a little "naughty." They included APO Hiking Society's "Yakap sa Dilim," Alynna's "Kahit Gaano Kalaki," Willie Revillame's "Igiling-giling," and Rico J. Puno's "Magkasuyo Buong Gabi."
Halfway through the show, Pops reminded Martin of their breakup. "Siyempre it's your fault," Pops told a smiling Martin.
But Martin changed the topic and greeted his mom in the audience. In turn, Pops also greeted her friends in the audience, which included husband-and-wife Albert and Liezl Martinez.
Pops noticed that the two were not sitting together, so she told them, "When you bring someone, you sit together so you can hold hands."
Then Martin asked Pops what she remembers most about him. "When we travel Martin packs for me," she said.
Martin, meanwhile, said, "I fell in love with your dimples."
