Martin niloko ng promoter sa Las Vegas, nagbenta ng ari-arian dahil sa kahihiyan

Michael Buble learned his singing style from Martin Nievera.

We’re doing a second Martin article dahil first, tonight na ang kaniyang third decade anniversary concert entitled “Martin Nievera 3D” sa Araneta Coliseum. His special unannounced guests are Regine Velasquez, Anne Curtis, Bamboo Manalac, Homer Flores and son Robin Nievera plus one we forgot. Of course the stars and singers who will be there as audience could be called then if needed like his ex wife Pops Fernandez na nagtatanong why she’s not part of the guest list.

Second reason, Martin is such a nice guy pala, very warm and most of all very eloquent and can outtalk Sharon Cuneta and Kris Aquino and pour his heart out in his stories kapag nag-request siya ng off the record, you will really give it to him. Titingnan niyo kasi si Martin, ang dami palang pinagdaraanang hirap ng Concert King na hindi na niya lang naikuwento including one that almost bankrupt him and made him sell almost everything dahil sa isang promoter na nanggantso sa kaniya sa Las Vegas.

But in that Vegas concert, may isang singer na nanood na impressed na impressed sa kaniya that when this singer got another new singer to mentor, si Michael Buble, ang utos ng singer-mentor, watch Martin in concert and learn from him how to perform. Of course Michael Buble acknowledged this gem that he even personally requested to meet Martin nang unang nagpunta rito ang singer. They became friends and even godfather to one of Martin’s child by the way. And do you know kung sino yung singer-mentor na hangang-hanga kay Martin? Si Paul Anka.
