Matapos dalhin dito sa Pilipinas last year sina David Cook at David Archuleta, ang 2009 American Idol winner naman na si Kris Allen ang dadalhin ng Fearless Productions sa ating bansa.

Kamakailan ay nakausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Jomari Yllana, isa sa bumubuo ng Fearless together with the Singson brothers Ryan and Rep. Ronald Singson. Binanggit nito ang tungkol sa Musicfest 2010 with Kris Allen, Jabbawockeez, at Boyce Avenue.

Dalawang gabi ang concert, pero mangyayari sa dalawang magkaiba ring lugar—una sa SM Cebu Open Grounds on February 5, at the next night sa McKinley Hill Open Grounds sa Taguig City, February 6.

"Bagong venue yun," tukoy ni Jomari tungkol sa SM Cebu Open Grounds.

"We're trying to penetrate yung market sa Cebu," ani Jomari.  'Tapos we, si Ronald at ako, we always try to make something new, laging bago. Sobrang bago itong ginagawa namin. Tatlong malalaking  grupo ito.

"Kasali ang Jabaawockeez [dance group] at Boyce Avenue [band]. Pag pinasok mo si Kris Allen na mag-isa, it would look like a normal concert ng isang artist, ganyan. So, definitely, yung market namin na inaabot, pambata," sabi pa ni Jomari.

May rason kung bakit gusto nilang ma-capture ang market sa Cebu.

"We need to ano, kasi, kailangan namin ng malaking show for Cebu ng pre-Valentine, kasi we plan on doing something for Cebu, for Sinulog 2011. So kailangan naming makita yung market."

Ayaw pang i-reveal ni Jomari kung ano ang plano nila for the Sinulog Festival next year.

"Malayo pa yun."

Kung nagpa-concert sila ng dalawang David's, bakit hindi Kris at Adam Lambert (runner-up ni Kris) this time?

"Hindi, e. Kasi gusto nga namin iba. Pag ginawa namin yun, it's just like doing two David's."

Hindi raw sila nahirapan na kunin si Kris at final na ang kanilang deal.

JOM'S DREAM ARTIST. May tinatarget pa ba na malaking foreign artists ang Fearless for their upcoming events?

"Hindi kami maka-mention ng names hangga't hindi siya selyado, e. But we have big names for this year," sagot ni Jom.
