AIR SUPPLY Is Coming Too

Air Supply is a soft rock duo who had a succession of hits worldwide through the late 1970s and early 1980s. It consists of British guitarist and vocalist Graham Russell and Australian lead vocalist Russell Hitchcock. The trademark tone of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple yet majestic songs created a group that would forever be known as Air Supply.

They released an album 'Love and Other Bruises' in 1977 and it shot to number one in the National charts. In 1979 they made a record called ‘Life Support’. On this record were some prized songs, including ‘Lost in Love’ which went up to Top 10 in Australia. The second single was ‘All Out of Love’ and that soared the charts even faster. The albums ‘Lost in Love’, ‘The One That You Love’, ‘Now & Forever’ and ‘The Greatest Hits’ sold in excess of 20 million copies. ‘Lost in Love’ was named “Song of The Year” in 1980, and with the other singles sold over 10 million copies.

In 1983, they released their 'Greatest Hits' album with a new single 'Making Love Out Of Nothing At All' written by Jim Steinman. The song was one of their biggest hits ever, spending three weeks at number 2, and the album eventually sold 5 million copies. They were the first western group to tour China, Taiwan and countless other countries, that previously would not allow pop music into their borders. In South America and Asia they became a part of everyone’s life. Their popularity continued to soar in Southeast Asian countries. In July 2005, Air Supply smashed attendance records when in Cuba, they played to 175,000 people in one show.

Donny & Marie Is Coming To Malaysia



Here's your chance to catch the legendary music family The Osmonds live in Malaysia. For the first-time ever, the seven siblings will reunite to perform for a one-night only concert at the Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands Resort.

The Osmonds are an American family pop group who achieved enormous worldwide success as teenage music idols in the 1970s. The group originally comprised brothers Alan Osmond, Wayne Osmond, Merrill Osmond, Jay Wesley Osmond and Donny Osmond, later joined by younger siblings Marie Osmond and Jimmy Osmond.

The Osmonds' career started with a big break at Disneyland, followed quickly by regular appearances on The Andy Williams Show in the early 1960s. Their most successful period was the early and middle 1970s, when they achieved a string of chart hits. In their 50 historic years in entertainment, The Osmonds, collectively and individually have recorded 142 albums, selling 100 million copies world wide with 51 Gold or Platinum recordings.

Donny and Jimmy, both achieved success as solo artists. Marie's signature hit was the country song "Paper Roses". Donny and Marie also performed as a duo, and hosted their own variety show, Donny & Marie, on ABC-TV from 1976 to 1979. They are not only just a vocal group, each brother also played an instrument and sometimes played and composed their own tracks.

Today, their sound is more country and western, with a bit of rock and adult contemporary thrown in. In August 2007, The Osmonds performed for their 50th Anniversary in Las Vegas, Nevada. On October 9, 2007 on The Paul O'Grady Show, Donny Osmond announced that they were getting back together and touring in May 2008, featuring all seven siblings -- Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie, and Jimmy.

HERE AND NOW TOUR - A GREAT NIGHT OF THE 80'S



What A Night To Remember

Arena Of The Stars
Genting Highland
Malaysia

Last Night



Limahl started the shows with his hits like Too Shy and especially the smash hit from 1984, Never Ending Story . Limahl also performed the Duran Duran's RIO which he said is a tribute to John Taylor who discovered him when he was still a waiter.






The show then continued with Johnny Hates Jazz where they started with I Don't Want To Be A Hero , followed by Turn Back The Clock, Heart Of Gold and their biggest hit Shattered Dream. The lead singer is not Clark Datchler since he left in 1988 so it just doesn't sounded like Johnny Hates Jazz anymore.



Next is the man himself Paul Young came out with Come Back And Stay, I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down, Love Of The Common People and the evergreen Everytime You Go Away. Can't remember 1 more song . Paul Young's is not quite the same like during his hey day. If I'm not mistaken he had a major throat surgery sometime years ago . Another thing is, Paul Young does look like his age is catching up quite fast at 52 .






The best performer of the night many agreed is Howard Jones rendered hits such as What Is Love, Things Can Only Gets Better, New Song, No One To Be Blamed and a song that I don't really recognised. I was hoping for Everlasting Love but it's not in his list, I guess .





And Finally the most successful trio band ever Bananarama (now duo) came out with the most songs which 7 all together while the rest with 5 each . Karen and Sarah stills look great with hits such as Love In A first Degree, Nathan Jones, Cruel Summer, Walking Down The Street, Robert De Niro's Waiting and of course the song that shots them to International Stardom, Venus . The tour ended with Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye . Then the show ended with a 80's dance party where some stayed back . I was there for the 1st performance and as I am writing this story I just got some information where after the shows ended for the 2nd performance, all the singers did came down to the crowds and joined for the the 80's dance party scheduled after the show. DANG....I should have been there for the 2nd performance instead .
