Not even heavy rains could dampen the enthusiasm of titas who flocked the MOA Arena to witness Alanis Morissette's much-awaited 2023 World Tour concert.
One of them, a die-hard fan clad in a black Alanis shirt, bought several tickets for her college friends.
I overheard her say, “Hindi man ako nakapunta nung 1996 concert dahil hindi ko pa afford tickets nun, at least now, dream come true."
Then one of her friends thanked the die-hard fan for "hosting" the barkada's mini-reunion.
Alanis’ concert is all about reminiscing the '90s.
The minute she appeared on stage playing the opening tune for “All I Really Want” with her harmonica, the crowd instantly let loose.
The familiar melody of "Hands in my Pocket" had the Filipino audience singing along, and even Parokya Ni Edgar's Chito Miranda and his wife Neri Naig couldn't resist standing up to join the fun.
Despite almost three decades passing since her rise to fame, the now mother-of-three Canadian singer proved she hadn't lost her touch.

Effortlessly hitting high notes and seamlessly incorporating yodel breaks, Alanis had the audience mesmerized with hits like "You Learn," "Mary Jane," and "Perfect."
Throughout the night, she poured her heart into every song, taking everyone on an emotional journey with "Head Over Heels," and unleashing all the angst in "Ironic" and "You Oughta Know."
For the encore, Alanis delighted the crowd by infusing a touch of reggae into "Uninvited," and ending the two-hour show with a fervent version of "Thank You."
Her concert was a pure celebration of music—no greeting or spiels and no costume changes— as she dedicated her energy entirely to the 19 songs in her repertoire.
