I had a big day yeasterday - I went for her concert in Barcelona - and it took place in especially beautiful concert hall - Palau de la Musica Catalan (I had a big day yeasterday - Palace of Catalan Music - you can chect it on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palau_de_la_M%C3%BAsica_Catalan - there is even link to 360 view). What can I say about the concert - it was fabulous! Ana hes sweet and powerful voice and she is so beautiful! You know - I always judge the singers on how they soud in live performance - and here Basia and Ana are top of the tops!!!!! Anyway - the story is that last September I went to see Ana performing in the theater in Madrid in a play "Fedra". I must say I was left speachless by her acting (btw just 2 days ago she was awarded and important spanish prize - Fotogramas de Plata - for that performance, for the best theater actress in 2007). After the play I was waiting for her to get her autograph and I had a gift for her - CD of Basia :-) After the concert in Barcelona I also waited for her with a bunch of flowers and when I gave it to her she looked at me and said "I know you! You gave me the CD of Basia! Thank you very much! I knew her before. She is a great singer!" First of all imagine how surprised I was to hear that she remembers my face and that also that she knows Basia work. There were only few people waiting for her I can imagine how tired she was after more than 2 hours of concert which in her case is giving her entire self to the public - at least that was my impression and I was so emptioned. And still she looked gorgeous, and she was so kind to everybody smiling and she was exchanigng some words with everybody that was waiting for her, signing autographs and posing for photos. To me she is one of very few persons in the musical scene that really deserve to be called STAR - but she does not behave like diva at all. Just wanted to share this with you :-) Hugs, Krysia _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
