It will promise four times the talent and four times the flair. The unique personality and distinctive style of each diva a surpisingly different, inevitably exciting, never-before-experienced evening. The great icon Kuh Ledesma graciously did this e-mail interview.”
Question: (Q)What will be expecting from this show in terms of production numbers?
Since you ladies are known for your trend-savvy fashion choices, will you be wearing fabulous gowns?
Answer (A): Of course because divas are not just about songs but fabulous gowns. We have more than 6 costume changes from different top designers from Manila.
Q: You have performed here in the Washington D.C. Metro area in 2001 with the Freestyle, with Zsa Zsa Padilla in 2003, and Nora Aunor in 2004, how will this April 5 show be different from these previous ones?
A: This must be the most expensive and the most elaborate show I have put together not to mention the most difficult because each singer has her own busy schedule. But I must say this has been so much fun.
Q: Your last show here four years ago at the GWU Lisner auditorium was a well-received one, what was the experience like of doing that concert tour? Of working with Nora Aunor?
A: It is always a pleasure working with different singers but with Nora Aunor was also a unique experience. It was a thrill to perform with a musical icon. It was awe inspiring to see the adoration of her many fans
Q: You have said that your longtime idol has been Barbra Streisand who last year received the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors, would you say there are similarities in both of your careers?
A: Barbra Streisand will always be one of my biggest inspirations. I consider her my mentor. Her professionalism and relentless passion for her art has inspired not just me but many others worldwide.
