I went to Zirkoh Timog last sunday to watch the Pinoy Pop Superstar World Contenders sing, they were guest to the Starstruck Survivor 6 show. It was a chance for me to see Dessirie Joy sing live. I was just so interested to hear her live since she's JayR's niece and based from experience, JayR's friends and brood are music virtuosos. So before the show I tried my best to check on the show's repertoire and to my disappointment World Contenders were singing as a group. Solution to my problem was easy since that was a comedy bar and she's vying a spot for the grand finals I had the stand comedians and host to call her name and sing.
Since she needs the exposure, she went on stage and sang All By Myself by Celine Dion and tell you what I was mesmerized by her rendition, she was incredible. I'd vote for her even if she's not JayR's niece. Im not posting picture of Dessirie because the shot I got was her belting, not very presentable.
Another reason I went to Zirkoh was because I wanted to see the Survivor 6 again after the Final Judgement where they are more relaxed to perform since the competition is already over. I was seating beside the table of supporters of Mart Escudero who proudly calls themselves Martians. I looked around and saw the other Startruck Avengers around with their parents. It was fun to see that the camps were still existing. Camps meaning, the groups of supporters of the Starstruck peeps.
That night was truly Mart's night aside from not screwing up his performances, his make-up reflected well with the lights and most of the audience were Martians. That night was also the night I was recruited to be a new member of the Martian group. Yep I joined a Fan Club, not a big deal considering I rooted for him and him alone, not that Aljur was not good or the other contestants, I just like Mart better. My initiation as member of the Martians was to sing two songs onstage... like I was scared, boasting aside singing is something I know I do well.
After the show was like a small celebration for Mart's birthday, talk about perfect timing, I was the only newly recruited Martian then, as far as I know and I get to join the celebration. One thing I dont let pass when I get to events like this is the photo ops and establising connections.
At this point I really can not say that I'm happy that I got to meet Mart or anything, I wasnt even starstrucked, not to discount him but I could not say that this is one stellar experience. He was just like a boy to me reaching and living his dreams.
Yesterday, his fan group leader invited me to watch the taping of Maynila where Mart is staring. I was free so I went there, its fun watching people around there work. Mart was also fun to watch not just on how he did his role but also how he is behind the cameras. I could not help but laugh when I saw what he brought for the taping. Aside from his clothers were toys that you'd usually see with kids... like thingy with spring head on it with candies inside. Seriouslly, I think he should grow up... rotflmao!
During that taping though I discovered more about the SS4 Survivor 6 though Aljur and Jewel were not there it was fine, Rich turned to be what I thought she is headstrong, serious, independent and was nice, I got to talk to her for a while and she was accommodating. Kris was also nice, she does not know me and I did not even talk to her but she gave me a tap when she was about to go home and said goodbye. Maybe what made her give that recognition was when group of fans came up to her and asked for a photo with her, I took the liberty to take the picture... hmm? Prince was the nicest and looked very shy to me, didn't know he was vain though.They packed up early and Mart has to ride a cab home so that ended the day. This Saturday though I'll be in GMA7 studios to watch the taping of PPS.
Gawd... time for dinner...
