Muling magsasama sa concert stage ang dating mag-asawang Martin Nievera at Pops Fernandez. Mauuna muna ang concert nila sa Cebu on January 9, followed by their Valentine concert in February at SMX Mall of Asia, billed as One Amore Time.
This time, hindi na ang Fearless Production nina Ronald Singson at ng ex-boyfriend ni Pops na si Jomari Yllana ang magpo-produce ng concert nila.
"It's One Amore Time, si Robin [panganay na anak nila ni Martin] ang nag-suggest. Meron siyang love story, very sexy, daring, and mature. So, siguro, si Martin makikita natin na naka-thong, I love it!" natatawang pagde-describe ni Pops sa magiging tema ng concert nila sa interview sa kanila ni Martin ng Startalk.
Since Jomari is not producing the concert, iimbitahin pa rin ba nila ito?
"Kailangang bumili siya ng ticket!" biro ni Pops. "Siyempre, siyempre naman. That would be nice if he could watch."
UNEXPECTED MEETING. Speaking of Jomari, recently ay nagkita sila sa re-launching ng Channel [V]. How was their chance meeting?
"Yun talaga ang first time," sabi ni Pops. "Ako, nabigla rin ako. So, magandang way siya for us to kinda talk to each other. Tapos, may konting chika-chika. Inaasar ko siya. Sabi ko, 'My gosh, you're such a singer now!' Tapos sabi ko, 'Baka naman tapatan mo pa kami.'"
Dagdag niya, "More or less, kumbaga, na-heal na yung mga wounds."
"THERE'S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT." Sa kaso naman nina Pops at Martin, napag-uusapan din ba nila ang kanilang mga personal na buhay?
"Ako, zero ako ngayon... So, there's nothing to talk about," sagot ni Pops.
Ayon naman kay Martin, "Martin doesn't talk about other girls in front of the mother of his children. It doesn't matter who she was seeing. We have separate lovelife and no matter what happens on Valentine's, it's our date. And it's been for many, many years even before we got married."
Dugtong ni Pops, "Martin and I are really an odd couple. With or without each other, we still manage to spend time together as a family. Siguro dahil sobrang mahal namin ang mga anak namin."
MARTIN'S OTHER SON. Napamahal na rin daw ang anak ni Martin kay Katrina Ojeda na si Santino sa side ni Pops.
"Santino is so cute!" sambit ni Pops.
Sabi naman ni Martin, "Santino loves them. Santino plays with Pops on screen."
those who have nothing good to say about pops, am sure she is way prettier than all of you and hindi kayo sexy like her. di ba, maldita? lol
january 9, 2009 sa waterfront. exciting to! popsandmartinconcertincebu sa blogspot.
mishy
mga LAOS!
di na nakapag proof read.
85, etc and of course Always Pops at the Rizal Football Stadium mnot to mention pa her soldout concerts with Martin.
I think it will take another lifetimne to have another Pops and martin tandem. iba talaga agn chemistry nila.
Bagong venue sana lang bagong repertoire at bagong style of costumes din.
Give Pops at least a little respect. Give her credit on how she successfully raised her 2 kids to be what they are now. mababait at talented ang mga anak nila sa totoo lang.
But i agree, I don't also like the enhancements na ginawa kay Pops. just missing the cute Pops more than 2 decades ago. Ganun talaga, people change over the years.
Still love them both.
For those who question Pops's claim to her title of being the country's Concert Queen, I just hope napanood nyo ang mga concerts nya to prove that she truly deserves it. Though she admits na she does not have the golden voice of Kuh Ledesma and the so powerful voice of Regine Velasquez nor the quality of voice of Sharon Cuneta, sh'e so big on stage. Why? Because she's a very good performer and with proper choice of songs, she can really sing. It's just amazing that even without big named guests, she can fill every venue no matter how big to the rafters and she can finish the more than 2-hour show, either singing, dancing or both at the same time.
