Susan Boyle returns to the stage

6/17/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post

Susan Boyle, the 48 year-old phenomenal singer who came out second in the latest Britain Got Talent contest returned to sing on stage to the glee of her admiring fans. The shy, emotionally-fragile Scottish songstress who turned her fortune around by aspiring to be like the musicale theatre thespian Elaine Page was treated in a hospital for physical and emotional exhaustion after the contest ended.

According to her publicist, Boyle will join the world concert tour of contest winners in spite of the pressure she endures for her unexpected fame. In a performance last Monday, June 15, 2009, Ms. Boyle sang and received a rousing applause--- a standing ovation from a huge audience of admirers.

Fans from all over the world had been waiting for the release of her album which could come 6 months from now. A You Tube video showed her sang as an underdog which qualified her for the finals--- an astounding internet viewership to hear her soaring voice and fan adulation ensued, exceeding 100 million hits in less than two months.

Davao jailbirds in an April 2009 concert

12/07/2008 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post

Fr. Hermes Sabud, the Catholic chaplain of the Archdiocese Commission on Prison Welfare (ACPW) has a good idea. He has a plan of transforming jailbirds into songbirds. He's readying to showcase the singing talents Davao Jail in a concert slated on April 4, 2009.

The remarkable show is to benefit the activities of the prison ministry. Just like the Cebu Provincial Jail dancers who entertained their audience with sometimes funny choreographed routines, the singers will do their job with music.

The unusual Davao concert is a timely invitation to all Filipinos to appreciate people’s talents. They can be found in seemingly unlikely places. In prison, a self-help fund-raising by those detained is commendable. Rather than staying idle in congested cells with little hope for social integration and improvement, the prisoners, in their incarceration, have a chance to harness their time and energy for a useful purpose.
