Reliving the MJ experience with Kenny WizzBy CRISPINA MARTINEZ-BELENOctober 16, 2009, 12:36pm
KENNY WIZZ as Michael Jackson in ‘Bad’As recent events have shown, Michael Jackson proved to be larger than life after his untimely death last June 25 with the massive outpouring of worldwide interest and attention on his life and career as singer and entertainer.

With the collective acclaim and tribute accorded on him, his memory continues to linger among millions, immortalized by the revival of his classic hits and perpetuated by the amazing performances of tribute artists acting his character and talent.

Local music fans can relive the Michael Jackson experience when one of the world’s best Michael Jackson tribute artists comes to Manila this month for a series of impersonation acts honoring the memory and music of the King of Pop.

Kenny Wizz, acknowledged as the No. 1 Michael Jackson impersonator in the US and overseas, will take center stage on Oct. 21 at a dinner-show at the Heritage Hotel in Pasay City that will kick off his four-night Philippine tour.

Billed as “The Amazing Kenny Wizz: The Michael Jackson Experience,” the series of shows produced by Steve O’Neal Productions will also include performances at Hard Rock Café-Makati on Oct. 27; Metro Bar, Pasig City, Oct. 28; and Pagcor-Angeles City, Oct. 29.

According to promoter Steve O’Neal, “This is the first time for Kenny Wizz to perform live in Manila, that’s why his shows are expected to draw big crowds, especially among those who have seen his acts on YouTube.”

The event is also considered timely for all Michael Jackson fanatics because it coincides with the opening on Oct. 28 of the two-week run of the Michael Jackson music documentary, “This Is It!,” which is built around the rehearsal footage for the King of Pop’s planned London concerts prior to his death on June 25.

Throughout his successful musical and entertainment career spanning more than three decades, Michael Jackson has had a lasting influence and impact on other artists and performers and inspired the birth of tribute acts in his honor.

None of the numerous Michael Jackson tribute artists have achieved greater success than Kenny Wizz, who, after growing up listening to R&B, soul and pop music and performing street dancing with friends, was inspired by the Michael Jackson phenomenon until he started doing TV performances, commercials and personal appearances.

While performing in California in his early 20s, Wizz was asked by the producer of “LaCage” to do shows in Atlantic City, where he captivated nightly audiences and which enabled him to perfect his act.

This was followed by numerous invitations from producers overseas, after which he performed in shows throughout Europe and Asia.
Upon his return to the US, Wizz was signed to an 11-year contract as a tribute to Michael Jackson in the show, “Splash,” at the Riviera Hotel and Casino.

With the Michael Jackson mania still sweeping the globe, Kenny Wizz continues to get his share of public adulation because of his almost perfect impersonation of the King of Pop.

He is considered an icon in his own right in the field of impersonation, and could be a deadringer for the King of Pop with his close resemblance to the latter in voice, moves and looks.

Libera Boys’ Choir’s Celestial Music to enthrall Filipino audience at the PICC

From the pigeonhole:

Libera, the world-renowned boys’ choir from London will stage their first Philippine concert on Oct. 25, 8 p.m. at the PICC, as the highlight of the RP-UK Friendship Week 2009. Then they will proceed to Cebu for a concert on Oct. 28 at the Waterfront Lahug.

Libera will be here as Ambassadors of Goodwill, to help the British Alumni Association (BAA) (in partnership with the British Chamber of Commerce, the British Council, and British Embassy Manila), to raise funds for BAA’s Foundation for the Disadvantaged Children, as well as for the Children’s Hour.

The non-profit group, composed of boys aged seven to 16, who come from various backgrounds and attend local schools mainly from South London, became famous for their unique renditions of the classics, as well as some contemporary songs such as “Love and Mercy” (composed by Brian Wilson of the Beachboys) that results in truly celestial sounds produced by no other such group. Their hit songs include “Always With You,” “Far Away,” “Going Home,” “How Can I Keep From Singing,” and “Sing Forever.”

This early, Libera’s Filipino fans are excited to hear their rendition of “Ave Maria,” “Sanctus” and “Adoramus,” as well as the YouTube favorite “Orinoco Flow,” an Enya original.

Libera’s birth as a touring concert group was credited to British musical genius Robert Prizeman, whose original single Libera became the signature song of the choir during their television appearances. Prizeman helms unique arrangements and conjures fresh versions of well-loved covers for the choir, contributing his own narrative lyrics while borrowing from well-loved poems and English hymns.

The group’s albums have topped both mainstream and classical charts in many countries, and their recordings are in the Top 10s alongside major artists like Andrea Bocelli. Their album, “Eternal,” reached number one in the charts, the first time ever for a boys’ choir to achieve that.

“Libera Live In Manila” is presented by Shell, co-presented by Globe, British Gas, STRADCOM, SR Metals, Liwayway Marketing, Thunderbird Resorts. Also brought to you by Alaska, SGV Foundation, Equipment Engineering Inc. (EEI) and Zest Air. Special thanks to United Overseas Bank. Media partners are Etc, 2nd Avenue, Jack TV, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Phil Star, Philstar.com, BusinessWorld, 92.3xFM, Dream 106.7 and 105.1 Crossover. Official music channel is MTV Araw-Araw while official residences are AIM Conference Center Manila (ACCM) and Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort & Spa.
