Saturday September 1st was Filipino Day at Canada’s Wonderland. The main event of the proceedings was the evening concert at the Kingswood Theatre. On the bill; dancers, contest winners, Martha Joy and Elise Estrada.
I arrived early enough to enjoy some fine and colourful performances by several very skillful Filipino dancing troupes.
Martha gave another of her signature powerhouse performances. She wowed the crowd with a four song set highlighted by crowd pleasing versions of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Have Nothing (her audition song on Idol) and Celine Dion’s ‘The Way It Is’ (one of her better performances in the competition). She left to a very appreciative round of applause from the gathered crowd.

Closing the show was another rising Filipino singing star, R&B singer Elise Estrada who had a recent hit with her song ‘Insatiable’. She delivered a very upbeat and energetic performance. Thanks to my friend Nanette from [Idol Martha Joy] I had the privilege of meeting Elise for a moment backstage between songs. She was happy to take a moment to pose for a photograph.
Martha’s next public appearance will be as part of the Canadian Idol finale show airing on September 11th on CTV.
