Bruno Mars' Dazzles Philippines Crowd With Hit-Filled Set — and Comments in Tagalog: Concert Review
Close your eyes and imagine little Peter Hernandez Jr. doing the kind of rollicking show he was doing with his father’s “The Love Notes” doo-wop variety show at Honolulu’s Esprit night club 30 years ago, or later as the opening act to the Magic of Polynesia in his teens. Mars is still doing the same kind of big, diverse crowd-pleasing show – but now on an epic level.
And perhaps for a reason: Mars hasn’t released a solo album since 2016’s “24K Magic,” more recently focusing his attention on his Silk Sonic collab with Anderson .Paak. But he has already amassed a stable of megahits to fuel a greatest hits show — Opening with “24K Magic,” into “Finesse,” “Treasure” and “That’s What I Like,” and later “Runaway Baby,” “When I Was Your Man,” “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Just the Way You Are” — and “Uptown Funk” as the encore.
Later, midway through “Calling All My Lovelies,” while talking through a fake, gold-plated 90s style brick cell phone , he pleads, “Hey baby, I’m in the Philippines right now. It’s been, what? Four to five years? [He last played the Philippines in 2018.] But I still feel the same way about you.” Then he declares, “Miss na kita, mahal!” The Hooligans then chime in, and they turn it into a melodic plea.
