Martina McBride concert

Yep! I went to watch Martina McBride's concert in Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena last Saturday, April 19th along with two other friends, Gie and Rhebs (below). We were early. :)

We were just so lucky! I didn't even know that she will be having a concert here but I suddenly got an email from Rhebs Friday afternoon inviting me to the concert. I'm so grateful to her for sharing her luck. Thanks Rhebs!!!

Just to let you know, I appreciate varied music, from country to rock as long as it's not heavy rock or rap. Every year, I watch a concert with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. I also watch Filipino concerts especially those that I admire back home in the Philippines. This is my first country concert and it's with Martina McBride. Just sooo lucky! Lol! Anyway, the first performer, Jack Ingram sang songs which I've heard over the radio but can only remember the one that I like the most which is Love You. His voice reminds me of Bon Jovi.

The second performer is the Little Big Town. This band is not familiar to me but they are really good. I got a little bit bored because they sang more than 5 songs that I've never heard before and I was already anxious to see Martina until they sang a song from Fleetwood Mac and an original which is Bring it On Home. Got us warmed up though. :)
Now for Martina. She's a powerhouse!!! From start to finish, she kept me entertained with her songs, great voice and moves. She can really hit the high notes with ease. From her first to the last 20th song, all were delivered beautifully especially my favorite song - Independence Day. What a powerful voice she has! She even made some of us cry especially when she sang Concrete Angel. I couldn't help but blink back the tears from my eyes. That was a great performance! Would love to have her back here at Jax!


Before we went inside, we were spotted by Jacksonville.com. Look for us on Gallery Two!
