This show deserves an enthusiastic recognition as it was probably one of the best OPM concerts of the year. Dubbed as Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha and Asia’s Phoenix Morisette Amon teamed up to showcase a perfect blend of music last September 22 and 23 at a sold-out Theater in Solaire. Implied with the concert title, “A Lani-Morisette Musical Journey”, the two took us as they look back to their journey until they reach where they are now. From Lani whose, doors of opportunities are always open to Morisettes dreams always shuts off. Lani never dreams a huge career in music. Looking back, she shared that she is just happy singing in church choir and theater production but doors kept opening for her, from recordings multiplex tapes to lounge gigs, tv and radio jingles, tv hostings, and concerts. Lani decided to stop and have time for her family, they migrate in the US where unexpectedly another door opened, when she thought she is done, she knew that God was talking to her saying it is not yet time for her to retire. Morisette, however, is a constant auditionee of every singing contest both provincial and national tv. From “Little Big Star” to “The Voice” from amateur to professional as she is today, Morisette owes it to her experience, her series of rejections and failures. From doors closing, multiple windows of opportunities opened for her.
