Watch U2 Live Concert via YouTube on October 26 Monday 11:30 AM GMT+8

I am absolutely thrilled when I found out that U2 will be doing a live and free webcast of their sold-out Rose Bowl concert in California this Sunday. This is part of the U2 360 concert tour, promoting No Line on the Horizon, that just kicked off in the US last month.


Fans from Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, U.K., U.S. will be able to watch the concert live via YouTube.

Those in the GMT+8 timezone will be able to enjoy the experience and watch it on October 26, Monday, 11:30 AM.

YouTube will be streaming live across five continents. The show will be available in the usual You Tube way, as video-on-demand, following two full replays - after the live stream - on both U2.com and You Tube.

The biggest challenge here will be bandwidth. So head-off to the fastest Internet connection you can find and enjoy the concert!

Charice Pempengco pays tribute to Michael Jackson

Thanks to Bitstop, I was able to watch the concert of Charice Pempengco last night at SMX Convention Center. One of the things I found out was that she is supposed to perform with Pop King Michael Jackson in his upcoming concert.

With Michael Jackson's sudden death, this will no longer be possible. However, Charice rendered two numbers to honor the pop king. Enjoy!

Touched by Michael Jackson

I am one of the many who was touched by Michael Jackson's music back in the elementary and high school days. Those were the times when dancing PYT, Wanna Be Starting Something, Billy Jean, Beat It, and Thriller makes you cool. Being able to dance strut and moonwalk was the in thing. Even local celebrities like Gary Valenciano and Aga Mulach became popular then for being able to perform Michael Jackson numbers on stage.

How he changed since Thriller was I assume were brought on by the pressure of his popularity where he was always being watched.

His song, particularly Thriller, was such a rare piece that it even allowed a drug rehabilitation center in Cebu attain popularity.

But today, news about Michael Jackson's death by heart attack, ripples online and most of the tech-savvy first heard about it via social media or network sites Twitter and Facebook.

Rest in peace Michael Jackson. You will always be remembered. Have a great journey ahead!
