Belinda Davids sings The Best of Whitney Houston Songs in The Greatest Love Of All: The Whitney Houston Show 2016 Live in Manila and Cebu


Singer Whitney Houston may have faded in our dreams, but her music will remain in our hearts forever. In fact, four years since her untimely demise, Houston's music still gets its fair share of airwaves from the local FM radios.  Thus it comes as no surprise when Showtime Management decided to bring back the amazing concert tour of the late great performer via The Greatest Love Of All: The Whitney Houston Show which has been making rounds for two years now and has wowed audiences from South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Canada and USA with sold-out performances. 

South African singing superstar, Belinda Davids top bills the said tribute to one of the world's iconic soulful singer. Davids had always admired and looked up to Whitney Houston. A successful singer in her own country, Davids feels happy and honored to be able to perform Houston's greatest hits on stage and by doing so keeps her music alive once more.

Now, Whitney Houston's Filipino fans had something to rejoice about. The good news is that DMC Philippines, in cooperation with Gotesco Group Of Companies, and Gruppo Group Of Companies has brought the music of Whitney Houston once more on the Philippine shore. DMC Philippines together with the above mentioned companies present The Greatest Love Of All: The Whitney Houston Show 2016 Live in Cebu (August 26) and Manila (August 27)The show includes 20 of Houston’s most popular tracks taken from the full span of her career, including ‘I Will Always Love You’, ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’, ‘Didn’t We Almost Have It All’, ‘I’m Every Woman’, ‘Exhale (Shoop Shoop)’, ‘Million Dollar Bill’ and more.

The show is directed by Showtime Management Creative Director John Van Grinsven Snr. and joined on tour by the production team responsible for the worldwide hit tribute show Michael Jackson HIStory.


I've seen Belinda Davids' own rendition of Whitney Houston's popular songs and I'd have to say, she's really got what it takes to be the 'successor of Houston.' If you're not looking at the singer, you could easily mistake Davids as the original singer. She truly sounds like the late Houston. Davids emerged as the one that perfectly fit the voice range of Houston. She was handpicked from a total of 15,000 aspirants who had auditioned from 12 countries. Belinda Davids was selected to pay homage to Houston with her carefully crafted renditions.

Up until this day, if he's not busy, he manages to jam and play music with his old bandmates. The FBC Rebirth continues to play well-loved disco music at their different gigs. And this concert will also serve as reunion for Zuñiga and his former bandmates.

A night of Jamming with Let Gravity Band

Let Gravity band members: Alden Acosta, Ram Chaves, Rigil Borromeo and Donne Santos

Not a lot of people know I’m a huge music fan. So when I was asked if I’d like to attend the launch of an OPM all-male band called Let Gravity, I immediately agreed. Let Gravity is composed of five men whose lives were connected with one another in one way or another. Most of them were members of different bands but perhaps they were really destined to form their own band because things just fell into their right places. Hence, that’s how Let Gravity came into existence. 


Let Gravity band is composed of Sam Santos, Donne Santos, Rigil Borromeo, Alden Acosta and Ram Chaves. Guitarist Sam Santos is a professional songwriter who composed the teleserye theme song “Alipin,” as well as a host of other telenovela themesongs. Meanwhile, his brother Donne Santos was the founding member of the indie-band called ‘Goodbye Tracy’ and is a former member of a band called Sutil. Acoustic and electric fingerstyle guitarist Rigil Borromeo is a music teacher by profession, Alden Acosta was a former member of a band called “Happydaysahead” and the more popular group “CallaLily.” Lead vocalist Ram Chaves, who was the last one to join the group also used to have his own band named after him and was formerly a runner up in the GMA 7 Pinoy Idol Season 1 competition.
