Mean's "Mean on Fire" was held last November 30 at Insular Life Corporate Center located in Alabang. Fans have gathered and got a chance to get to know him more personally.

During the press conference, Mean shared his thoughts on having the overwhelming support from his Filipino fans. He said that he is so happy to have met them. He feels grateful to have amazing and very supportive fans from the Philippines.

After the press conference, Mean has started his fan meeting to finally meet his fans again! The actor starts the show with Fire Burning by Sean Kingston. Loud cheers from fans can be heard clearly during his performance.

He also performed the song "God Gave Me You" in which he later found out that it became a hit song here in the Philippines because of Alden Richards. He was actually a little surprised to know that fans knew about this song.

After serenading the fans on stage, Mean has shown his fashion by walking on stage while showing off the Barong Tagalog. He proudly showcased the Philippine national costume by wearing it and showing it off to the fans. He walked along the stage together with Ms. Patty Tabor who was the host of the night.

The highlight of the fan meeting was when the actor enjoyed learning some tagalog words such as "Kamusta ka", "ang gwapo gwapo ko", "ang ganda ganda niyo", "Oo and Hindi" and most especially the tagalog slang word "Charot". Moreover, Mean also tried some Filipino desserts and candies such as choco and strawberry crinkles, pastillas, tarts, cheese bars, and snowballs. Mean told the fans that he likes cheese bar and choco crinkles the most.

After that, Mean watched the surprise VCR prepared by Mean's different fans clubs here in the Philippines. The actor has also received some surprise gifts from the fans. Then, Mean played the guitar while singing "Photograph" by Ed Sheeran. In addition, he sang another song which is Thai while roaming around the auditorium and giving roses to some lucky fans. It was indeed a memorable night for him together with his fans in Manila.

The Irish singer performs songs which are heavy on Nostalgia in front of his 

army of loyal fans at the New Frontier Theater last November 17, Sunday.

It's all about throwback music this 2019, as former Westlife member Brian
McFadden performs in Davao and Manila last November 16 and 17 for his first-ever solo show in Manila.


It was an enjoyable and intimate Sunday night filled will brand new music
and a couple of classic Westlife songs - performed by Brian McFadden - who’s
been here in the country for three times now; during the Boyzlife tour
with Keith McDuffie, the Boyzone Farewell Show at the Mall of Asia Arena,
and his recent solo at the New Frontier Theatre featuring a duet with
Idol Philippines’ grand winner, Zephanie.

Zephanie performed a cover of “Kilometro” and “Isa Pang Araw”, and
showcase her vocal prowess in her winning piece “Pangarap Kong Pangarap Mo.”
She left the audience wanting for more, as her voice is such a breath of fresh air, clean, filled with such clarity and emotions.


As soon as she finished her set, it was followed by a montage of McFadden's journey throughout his music career. Fans were screaming, and he started off
with “When You're Looking Like That” and “World of Our Own.”

                            

So much about Brian's solo career has changed since his boyband days with
Westlife, and much better through the way he lights up any music venues, with just himself and his guitar. The night was made even sweeter when he performed Westlife's top hits such as "Swear It Again", "Mandy", "Queen of my Heart", "My Love" and a stripped-down version of "Flying Without Wings" - which by far was the most impressive performance he did that night - no band, no-frills, just him, his guitar, and his army of loyal fans singing along with him.

                                     

He also performed "These Arms of Mine", "Champagne and Wine" and a
lovely duet with Zephanie for "Almost Here."

But as soon as we thought his set was over, he was back on stage for a boyband medley. He did "Everybody" (Backstreet's Back), "If Ya Gettin 'Down", "What Makes You Beautiful", "Bye Bye Bye", "Everybody Get Up", "One Love", and "Never Forget."

Thank you to EKG Productions for the opportunity to cover this
memorable show.
