I guess I’ll have to settle for a concert closer to Arkansas. Next year I hope Charice comes to Little Rock’s Verizon Arena. 18,500 seats and I bet she would fill it up.
I look for Charice to have her own concert tour next year. There are hundreds of venues in the USA that would love to have her.
(That is, if she’s not already a movie star, ha)

yep, we’ll all have to sit by the coffee pot when the YouTube videos start coming out the next 2 months, haha.
#7 that’s a WOWER in itself that you’re flying in from Manila. I thought it was crazy just to drive across the border 3 hours to see the final concert of the tour in Vancouver, Canada. I have never done that before to see any show. We’re hoping for something really special since that is David Foster’s home town.
