A singing champion Anja Aguilar goes to major concert this 2012

October 4, 2012

A singing champion Anja Aguilar is expected to be fiercer on her first major concert Anja Aguilar: The Concert on October 6 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

I just saw the poster for the newest concert, Anja Aguilar: The Concert and realized that Anja Aguilar is turning 18 this last July 22. Her birthday is actually last July 22 and expected the concert is happening on October 6 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City.

During her concert beginnings. Now been 12 years since Anja won the top prize in the Little Big Star on ABS-CBN as singing contest along with Sam Concepcion. Remember that white gown with the long shawl during finals night? That was the beginning of what has been a beautiful ride.

Of course, like most kids around whose parents believe they could become successful singers, Anja has had her share of work. She has been performing since she was a star in the making, delighting crowds with her powerful voice in her little sequined dresses. She also did work as a child actress in a teleserye or two and some bit parts in the movies. But it was with the Viva Television show Star For A Night that happened in March, 2003 at the old IBC-13, that Sarah hit the big time.

Everything else came easy. There were the hit songs. Her winning piece, the newest original single To Reach You, Nasaan ang Pangako Mo, When and I Love You by Vehnee Saturno, a cover of prince of pop Dingdong Avanzado's To Love Again and Donna Cruz's Only Me and You, the covers, Heaven Knows, One Hello, That's What Love Can Do and Angel of Mine. There were also Di Bale Na Lang, Magic of Love and Ako Para Sa'yo by Christian Martinez, and recently dance hits are Surrender (DDR), One Sided Love (DDR) and This Kiss.

Then all the elements that go into the creation of a big star followed. The million-peso paying product endorsements which are now too many to mention; the concert tours that have taken her around the country and around the world; the new blockbuster movies, Fall In Love Again, To Love Again and upcoming All At Once (with Star Cinema); theactor Onemig Bondoc, Cesar Montano and Marvin Agustin; the high-rating TV teen drama anthology series Dear Heart on IBC-13, which airs on Sunday afternoon as a co-production with Viva Television; and the newest sold-out concerts, once a year events that her fans always look forward to.

This year, this live event is Anja Aguilar: The Concert. It is expected to have a singing champion Anja celebrating her 18th birthday. Since there is no escaping growing up the local singing champion and younf diva is adapting to it by turning glamorous diva. Last year’s Anja appearance concert, Pistahang Cebuana Pasasalamat Concert, had her teamed up with Sarah Geronimo with guest Rachelle Ann Go, Anja Aguilar, Erik Santos, Mark Bautista and Gerald Anderson with G-Force Dancers and Onemig Bondoc celebrated its 25th anniversary by way of a free concert held exclusively for its 24k cardholders sponsored by Cebuana Lhuillier in cooperation with ABS-CBN Multimedia, Global News Network (GNN), TV5, Malayan Insurance and Wells Fargo Express Send. This time around, she will be now on her line-up of exciting guests. Fans are said to have been praying that either Marvin Agustin, AJ Muhlach and Onemig Bondoc would show up. Maybe even both. Prepare for the singing star with Anja. Watch out for which one will bring in the romance factor.

Last September 30, Anja will host a new Viva-TV show, Born to be a Star, on IBC 13, a singing contest originating from America like two other Viva franchisees, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (hosted by box-office king Vic Sotto), The Weakest Link (hosted by Edu Manzano) and recently 1 vs. 100 (hosted by AJ Muhlach).

Anja Aguilar: The Concert is directed by Mac Alejandre with Louie Ocampo and Vehnee Saturno as musical director.
