ALL ME

"(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

Boy, I know I'm fillin' no spaces
When you're movin', groovin', you're feelin' me
I'm invading your space and it's so
(Oh oh oh oh oh) All me, all me, all me

I'm all over your dreams and when you wake up
I'm still in your mind and it just won't stop
You're addicted to me and just can't get enough
(Oh oh oh oh oh) You'll see, you'll see it's me

(Oh oh oh oh oh) All me, all me, all me
(Oh oh oh oh oh) You'll see, you'll see it's me
(Oh oh oh oh oh) All me, all me, all me
(Oh oh oh oh oh) You'll see, you'll see, you'll see it's me

(Oh oh oh oh oh) [4x]" - ALL ME by Toni Gonzaga

(Oh oh oh oh oh) It's not All Me and You'll see in the pictures and videos that a lot of people love Toni Gonzaga. This was very evident in her recent Toni @ 10 Concert at the Araneta Coliseum last Friday - September 30, 2011. Truly a dream come true for Toni to have a Solo Concert at the Big Dome.

Tracking the days back, after i blogged about her 1st Major Concert at the Aliw Theater "We Belong", Toni texted me with "Salamat sa iyong nakaka-touch na Blog....." And at that point truly it felt good to have my blog read by the very person i have written about. I replied that i will definitely watch her concert and blog about it.

Coming from a meeting in Makati, i went straight to Cubao for the show. I'm not an organizer or, in any way, a part of the production this time so i just went in like every ticket holder does using the red gate with my Patron Ticket. Oh BTW, i did meet and chat with Mommy Pinty, Ms. Annabelle Regalado-Borja(who gave me the ticket)and Kuya Roland at North Park then saw Daddy Bonoy too on our way out of the restaurant before going inside the coliseum.

I was seated at the right side of the Patron section with the Star Records peeps. The Stage was simple yet very nice with all the multiple LED Screens and the multi-level platforms and moving stairs; very fit for a "Multi"-media Star. Then the show started with the Opening Number; a short intro with All Me segue to the Beyonce Medley of Diva & Who Run The World.

This is the 10th Year Anniversary of Toni and it all started with her scream in the softdrink commercial, "I LOVE YOU PIOLOOOOOOOOOOOOO" then her first guest for the night walked in, The Ultimate Hearthrob, Piolo Pascual. They sang the Mashed-up of Nothing On You and Just The Way You Are. There were VTR greetings for her from different Kapamilya Stars whom she had worked with for the past years.

Toni really revealed her true self as a funny and witty person with all her guests for the night which made the show more than a musical show. Sam Milby revealed that Toni was really his First Crush in Showbiz, who became his First Leading Lady too. Toni then revealed that Sam went to her in ASAP to say that he is going to be her surprise in her concert. Hahaha! Not a surprise anymore to Toni but to all those in Araneta 'coz Sam was never included in the Promotions of the show.

Another highlight of the show is with John Lloyd Cruz singing "Live" with their song from My Amnesia Girl, "Nandyan ka Na Naman". The crowd really screamed for the Box Office King which showed that they had a good chemistry in the movie that made it a hit.

Toni then described his next guest as his Male counterpart - Vhong Navarro who ranted about not having to kiss Toni in all of their movies together. Vhong has brought the house down with his antics and all, specially when he jokingly told the crowd how Mommy Pinty would guard Toni during their Shoots and Taping. All these segued to Pokwang entering the stage in disguise of Toni. Pokwang and Toni had their singing showdown with Toni imitating Jessa Zaragoza, Jaya and Lani Misalucha with their Trademark Songs while Pokey imitates Britney Spears, Cindy Lauper and Jovit Baldivino(with kiko matching voice too). Their bantering was so hilarious and adding to that was the spot number of Pokwang who got a guy from the audience. She then went to our side and got my friend ICE, who, pokey didn't know, was from Star Records. She had him hold the microphone and asked him to follow her wherever she goes. The stunts Pokwang did was really hilarious.

Alex, her sister, then came in with all her "Babaeng Hampaslupa" outfit and gave a funny skit on their sort of "sibling rivalry" with the songs Super Bass and Stupid Love which was then called the Stupid Bass. While Toni was out having an outfit change, Alex then pulled/pushed on stage, the naive-looking but cute Direk Paul Soriano on stage for some sort of a Bachelor Bash. I learned from someone that Paul really didn't know about this segment but willingly did for his One and Only Love. Whooot whooot! The bachelor bash then became a Gandang Gabi Bash by Vice Ganda. This segment almost made the crowd rolling on the floor with laughter with the combination of two Witty persons on-stage.

One touching moment in the show was when Toni dedicated the song "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera to her Mom, Mommy Pinty. It almost made me cry how Toni described her mom as someone who pushed her and believed in her that's why she is where she is now. This only shows how loving and obedient Toni is to her parents; that even at her age, she can still be texted "Umuwi Ka Na" by Daddy Bonoy that she obliges.

A special segment was done with Gary Valenciano and Toni talking to each other, as if it was Live Streaming 'coz Gary V was currently out of the country for a show. They even had a duet with a Celine Dion song "I'm Your Angel". The show took almost 3hours to finish with Toni's rendition of Fireworks and encored with Rihanna's Shut-up and Drive via the Ford Fiesta on the side of the stage.

When news of this show came out, a some people doubted Toni Gonzaga's capability to fill up the huge seating capacity of Araneta Coliseum. But then she proved them wrong with a Sold-out concert plus almost all the Bosses of ABSCBN and her Kapamilya Stars were there to support her.

I didn't text or call Toni yet to congratulate her coz i really plan to do it thru this blog. So Celestine Gonzaga, Congratulations for a very very successful concert! You have a achieved a great dream. Truly you have ignited your light & shined, owned the night of September 30 and showed us what you're really worth.

"You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon" - Firework by Katy Perry
