Two Divas to Rock Atlantic City!

This early, the expectation is already heightening and the tension is building up to the brim as the red-letter-day of the BACK2BACK Concert draws closer and the two most in-demand Philippine Divas perform on the same stage, sharing a common spotlight and above all, burdened by consciousness to win the audience’s applause to their side.

Such high tension scenario unfolds soon at the Trump Taj Mahal, Atlantic City on Saturday, Nov. 29, 7pm, when sultry singer Zsa-Zsa Padilla of “Zsa-Zsa Saturnah” fame and “Divalicious” performer Pops Fernandez come face to face in the most touted all-star Filipino talent show with Phil. Cinema’s Comedy King Dolphy brought to you by Special Edition Press, Inc., ERJ Productions, and Trump Entertainment Resort.

“Tension…? I don’t think such thing prevails in the air between me and Pops. We’ve been together in a number of shows and there was never a tinge of such kind. We’re in a level of absolute professionalism unaffected by media hype or by any publicity slant. That’s some kind of puerile and pugnacious rivalry which is not our cup of tea.” Imperturbably commented by the Divine Diva as she tries to clear the air in a jestingly pouting manner… so divinely Zsa-Zsa.

“Actually, that’s true!” Butted the soulful-eyed Concert Queen. “We’ve our own individuality and peculiar style as performers. We just give the best we could to entertain and please our audience. Nothing sort of rivalry or exerted effort to over-shadow the other… neither of these was an option.”

Enticing Esperanza “Zsa-Zsa” Padilla, that seductress of a singer known for her sensuous lips that congruously matched her hit song “Hiram,” has been relatively blessed in every aspect: as a respected multi-awarded dramatic-comedy actress, as an award-winning songwriter-singer-record producer (having recorded more than 13 albums), an effective TV host, a recognized theater actress (via “Larawan,” a successful and critically acclaimed full-length play), a contented Dolphy’s life partner (with whom she has 2 daughters, Nicole and Zia), and a convincing product endorser. Putting it modestly, Zsa-Zsa Padilla is closest to an almost perfected paragon of muliebrity with profundity of expression and quiddity of woman pulchritude.

The same qualities could also be attributed to the perennial Queen of the Philippine Concert stage. Although the “Divalicious” Pops Fernandez embraces her love life in a rather different situation but, just the same, her career remains unaffected and profluent. With a multi-faceted talent and a persistent spirit incessantly on-the-go, the ruling planet in Pops Fernandez’s career never fails to surprise her with a slew of assignments even when offers come in dearth for others. With her two sons, courtesy of her male counterpart-husband Martin Nievera, Pops Fernandez lives a life as placidly contented as a pond in springtime and as colorful as a kaleidoscope against a summer light.

Treat yourself and your loved ones to a Thanksgiving Weekend and experience a rare kind of entertainment package inclusive of songs, dances, comedies and special production numbers from Phil. Showbiz “King of Comedy” Dolphy, “Star In A Million” champ Kris Lawrence, the “Oomph Performer” Geneva Cruz, the Prince of R n’ B” Jay R, actor-director Eric Quizon together with his equally talented siblings Jeffrey, Ronnie, Boy2 and Vandolph.
