Watch Martin Nievera & Gary Valenciano: The big showdown in concert titled As 1

Watch Martin Nievera & Gary Valenciano: The big showdown in concert titled As 1. Watch the big showdown, titled As 1, is scheduled, rain or shine, on Sept. 19 (Saturday), starting at 8 p.m. at the SM Mall of Asia Open Grounds.

The two considerable icons have guested in each others shows both here and abroad but it’s the first time they have agreed to do a concert together. Well and good.

I gathered a few comparison points between Martin and Gary V. (that kind of billing will have to suffice for now, but only in this corner) from people who have watched the two in their (solo) concerts, to wit:

  • Martin is the better singer and Gary V. is the better dancer;
  • Martin is an original while Gary V. is a Michael Jackson “clone” (something he has never outgrown and which he should bury...in MJ’s Neverland?);
  • Martin is the total performer while Gary V. is Mr. Pure Energy; and
  • Martin can entertain the audience not just with his singing but also with his gift of gab and comedic flair; while Gary V. spices up his singing with “body language” and a sprinkling of “religious” music.

(Note: Martin Nievera and Gary Valenciano’s As 1 concert on Sept. 19 at the SM Mall of Asia Open Grounds is a production of Star Media Entertainment, Big Mouth Productions International and Management, Genesis Entertainment & Management, Inc.
