Overwhelmed With Foreign Gigs

There was Miley Cyrus. Followed by Kylie Minogue while Cirque du Soliel is still doing their Varekai act. For the not so oldies, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr, both formerly of the 5th Dimension whizzed by to sing their popular songs. Billy Kimball of Toto did the July 4th concert, David Archuleta will come next. Oh my God...Incubus is coming this July! Of course, I should mention the Mayday Parade and Thirty Seconds to Mars are touching down here too.

What's my point? Too many foreign acts are coming here in the Philippines! Though I love some of them and would love to see them perform, my mind was ticking and wondering. Where are the local acts, for goodness sakes?! Sure, there are some scheduled local performances scheduled but gee, if we compare them to the foreign acts that have been barging into our entertainment industry, they are mere trickles. No wonder, a lot of local entertainers are flying out of the coop. They are dying! Paging Filipino concertgoers, local organizers and producers, let's dig more local acts please.
