Last July 21, 2012, Bacolod City proved it was ready to rock with Anne Curtis' highly-acclaimed concert tour series "ANNEBISYOSA NO OTHER CONCERT".

The sold-out event was held at the cavernous USLS Coliseum where it was filled to the rafters.  People from all walks of life came to witness the concert everyone was talking about.  And surely enough, they were not disappointed.

The concert started at 9:00 pm with showbiz newcomer Nathan Serrano as front-act.  He received a warm round of applause from the audience whom he serenaded with his own rendition of "Hinahanap-hanap Kita".  After Serrano sang, the audience cheered louder when the lights dimmed and the band started playing the opening song that Anne Curtis will perform.

The moment Anne Curtis stepped into the USLS concert stage, there was loud cheer and applause everywhere.  Anne opened the concert with a medley of songs from Rihanna.

Aside from the Rihanna medley, Anne also performed songs popularized by Katy Perry, Beyonce, Adele and Aegis while undergoing at 5 costume changes, all designed by renowned fashion designer Rajo Laurel.  Even her special guests did not disappoint the audience at all.  There was a friendly banter between Anne and best friend Luis Manzano while doing a duet of "Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang".  Luis even brought the house down with his solo dance number with two members from the famous dance group G-Force to the tune of LMFAO's "I'm Sexy and I Know It".

Another special guest Jimmy Marquez from the now-defunct singing contest "Star in a Million" kept the audience laughing with his anecdotes and one-liners while showing his singing ability as well.  But it was another special guest singer, former "Search for A Star" grand champion and now hitmaker Rachelle Ann Go that made a mark among Bacolod fans as she engaged in a singing showdown with Anne Curtis to the tune of Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing".  She was even generous enough to give Anne the spotlight when Anne belted out the last part of the song that earned a standing ovation among audiences. 

The concert ended with Anne belting out Carly Rae Jepsen's big hit "Call Me Maybe" while people at the front row took the opportunity to come closer to the stage to take a snapshot of her.

It was a big success for the ANNEBISYOSA concert series which invaded Bacolod City with a bang!  Anne Curtis sent love and smiles to Bacolod City through her songs, funny antics and fashion ways, and the people of Bacolod responded by coming in full force to support and love her more.
