Aerosmith and Songs from the Musical The Full Monty Crowd Out My Personal Countdown This Week

Aerosmith and songs from the musical The Full Monty occupy most of the spots in my personal countdown this week.   I saw the musical last Friday, while Aerosmith had their concert last night.

Aerosmith placed sixteen songs from their setlist last night into my personal countdown.  The Full Monty placed eight songs.  That means 24 slots out of the 40 in my top 40 came from these two acts.

In the top 10, Aerosmith has six songs, while The Full Monty had four.

However, the top spot this week goes to The Full Monty.  It's not unusual for a Broadway song to top my personal countdown.  Last year, Hello, from The Book of Mormon.

Here are my ten favorite songs for the week ending May 10, 2013 -

#1 Cast of The Full Monty - Breeze Off the River (NEW)

#2 Aerosmith - Cryin' (RE)

#3 Aerosmith - Jaded (RE)

#4 Cast of The Full Monty - Big Ass Rock (NEW)

#5 Aerosmith - Livin' on the Edge (RE)

#6 Cast of The Full Monty - You Walk With Me (NEW)

#7 Aerosmith - Rag Doll (RE)

#8 Aerosmith - Oh Yeah (NEW)

#9 Cast of The Full Monty - You Rule My World (Reprise) (NEW)

#10 Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss A Thing (RE)

Concert Review: Aerosmith Treads Through The Decades With their Hits in their Manila Show

I just came from Aerosmith's awesome concert at the MOA Arena! Steven Tyler sounded amazing! Every growl and wail and shout you hear in any of their hit songs was exactly the same intense growl and wail and shout you hear from all their hits from 'Cryin', 'Janie's Got A Gun, 'Amazing', 'Jaded', 'Dude Looks Like A Lady', 'Rag Doll', 'Sweet Emotion', 'Dream On' and of course, the classic 90s wailer 'I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing'. I have no pictures of the show though since I left my camera at home, que horror! I brought the wrong bag to MOA que estupido! It would've been fun to have pictures of Mr. Pouty Lips especially that there was a huge screen in the middle. I had the perfect seat for it because I was in the middle. Sayang! I just have to file the pictures and the videos in the memory of brain. Anyway, good thing was I was able to enjoy the show immensely since I was not bothered by taking shots here and there. Yun lang, I got a headache when I got home. Methinks the volume of the sound was really loud and the lights were turned toward us most of the time, it kinda hurt our eyes. Anyway, nothing that Biogesic couldn't relieve.
