MUSIC LYF: Christian Bautista’s X Class earns rave reviews; three shows this weekend

Asiansation Christian Bautista did not lie when he said that his 19^thanniversary concert is his biggest, best concert to date. Backed with perhaps the best in the industry, Louie Ocampo as Musical Director, Rowell Santiago as stage director, and STAGES as producer, Christian proved that he is indeed the most important male singer of his generation.

X Class boasts of Christian’s finest live performance in his 10-year-old career with able support from his guests Jordan Bautista, Myke Salomon, Ikey Canoy, Zia Quizon, and Alodia Gosiengfiao. During the first two nights of the show, Christian was joined by no less than Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez and international star MiG Ayesa.

This weekend, Megastar Sharon Cuneta (12^th) and Pop Diva Kuh Ledesma (13^th) will join Christian. Special guests are lined-up on the 14^th, which promises to touch the heartstrings o
f everyone who will watch.

MUSIC LYF: X Class - The Xtian Bautista Year 10 Concert

Time flies when you're having fun. And its best when you are also enjoying your musical and acting career. This is what Christian Bautista is having right now with his 10th year anniversary in the industry. I can still remember that he was part of Star in a Million as a contestant and from there, he made in through the very hectic and competitive world of showbiz particularly in the music scene. And even back then, I was a big fan with his singing and acting talent and now even with his dancing skills!

Now with this anniversary, he staged X CLASS held at the Meralco Theater (which he said was a big part in his career especially with Trumpets). The concert goes back to the hits he made in the past decade that made a mark to his fans and also featuring the songs in his latest album and projects like the Kitchen Musical. Of course, his concert would not be complete with special guests like Zia Quizon, Mig Ayesa, Alodia Gosiengfiao and many more that also made the night truly unforgettable.
