JAMES REID says he, Billy Crawford and Sam Concepcion are rehearsing almost every day for their big “The Crew” concert at the Araneta Coliseum this coming Friday night. They now work so well together and never considered each other as a rival.
“Our aim is to entertain those who’ll watch the concert and make it a very memorable musical experience for all of them,” he says. “Each production number we’ll do is a visual treat and we promise that there will never be a dull or boring moment during the whole show.
"You should watch out for Billy’s throwback segment when he revives his past hits when he was a big star in Europe. His dancing prowess has not diminished at all. Si Sam naman, he’s so good whether he’s singing or dancing so he’s really my idol when it comes to performing.”
Also bound to be exciting are the guest appearances of Nadine Lustre, Coleen Garcia and Yassi Pressman. It’s said that James’ duet and dance number with Nadine will surely bring much “kilig” to the fans of their JaDine love team. James has really grown by leaps and bound since he was a 16-year old kid from Australia who joined Pinoy Big Brother in 2010 and came out as big winner. Now, he’s even one of the judges in the coming show, “Idol Philippines”.
“Who I was when I joined PBB as a housemate and who I am now are two completely different persons,” he adds. “I was just a simple kid then. I never thought I’d really be doing much in my life. If my 16-year old self would see me as I am now, he’d be so scared. I didn’t even know then that I have a singing voice, that I could be an artista. I’ve since gained a lot more confidence and now, all I want to do is to make people happy by entertaining them, like what I and my two friends will be doing in ‘The Crew’ so don’t miss it on Friday night at the Big Dome.”
