Although many gripes that Donna should have performed in LA instead, the San Diego show was a hit and was sooo nice. Donna was the main performer in this show, although there are some front-acts and in-betweens. After the show, Fans and friends are allowed to get a glimpse of Donna thru her autograph signing session. RealAppeal Productions, Inc.,the producer of Donna's show in San Diego, is very proud to have produced the show. However, the management wants to clear the issue in the policy that was imposed, that is, the "no picture taking with Donna" policy. The producers and staff were not the ones who imposed this policy, but some of the staff of donna's management team. |

TheSanFranciscoShow
(As experienced and written
by Kevin Delane)
I just got back from the Donna concert in San Francisco.
It was my first time going to a Filipino Concert and I left VERY IMPRESSED!!!
The show started off pretty slow with a few "no namers", but then
Pilita came out and did a few songs\jokes, Leonard came out and did the same
(he even interacted with the crowd, mostly men though!), and then Jaya was welcomed
by the hometown crowd when she did her current hit songs. Jaya then followed
up with the Celine Dion and Barbara Striesand song Tell Him. Donna joined her
and the crowd (and my barkada ) erupted!!! We ran towards the stage hoping to
get a close look at her. Fortuantely the security was cool about letting her
fans see her. She sang all her hit songs (except for Wish) and I yelled out
"I love you Donna". She saw me a smiled and waved at me!!! Then she
invited my syota Christine and her friends to sing a song with her!!! We have
a pic of it to prove!!! And to top it all off, my friend took my panuleo and
wiped Donna's forehead with it!!!!!
I quickly kept the panuelo in a plastic bag as my rememberance of Donna. I waved
at Donna again and extended my hand hoping that she would shake it. After recognizing
me (again) she shook my hand. Her hands were so smooth and soft!! I wish I didn't
wash them!! I sound like a SUPER MAARTE fan don't I??? I'm not ashamed because
I got to see DOnna up close. I even jumped up and down with so much excitement
(as if I won an Academy Award!!) when I got the panuelo!!!
After the end of the show fans were able to go backstage and meet the performers.
My barkada all got autographs with Donna , but our camera ran out of film!!
Donna was short, about 5'1" I think. She didn't seem to recognize me then,
but it was okay because I have all my memoriabila of that unforgettable night.
Too bad it was her 'first and only' concert. The only gripe I have was that
the concert hall wasn't even full!! Hey if it wasn't then my barkada wouldn't
have a chance to move from the balcony to front row!!!!
