T
he group Mirage have always
done exceptionally well in the
Gulf States, and in Dubai as
well.
In fact, their fan base abroad is
awesome.
Right now, the guys are in Qatar,
performing at the Raddison Blu
Hotel Doha.
They left Colombo, for their new
destination, on July 26th, 2014, and
went into action at the Qube nightclub last Monday, July 28th.
This particular nightclub is one
of the largest in that region, with a
capacity to hold more than 1000
guests.
Mirage’s opening night was
almost ‘house full’ and they have for
company a band from the
Philippines.
According to the group’s keyboardist, Melantha Perera, the
Filipino band is quite good and
impressed with their performance.
However, the huge crowd present
went wild when Mirage did
“Bohemian Rhapsody.”
Filipino performers are generally
quite active on stage, with
their movements, etc., and
Mirage had to change their
stage act a bit to show the
rest that they are second to
none.
Lead guitarist, Shafi, and
bassist, Benjy, generate a lot
of action on stage and now,
I’m told, even the two female
vocalists, Samantha and
Sandie, have fine tuned their
stage act.
“Samantha is excellent
and she is catching up fast,”
said Melantha, obviously
referring to her performance with that of her
Filipino counterparts.
Mirage will be back in
Colombo, end October, 2014,
and then head for Australia,
to usher in 2015, and then
remain Down Under till
Two great entertainers –
February, 2015.
Shafi and Benjy
In the meanwhile, there
is plenty of action, and excitenight,
ment, at the Galadari Hotel’s
as the Battle of the Bands comMargarita Blue, every Thursday
petition is now in full swing.

Boom, Boom, Boom Clap
You're picture perfect blue
Sunbathing on the moon
Stars shining as your bones
illuminate
First kiss, just like a drug
Under your influence
You take me over, you're the
magic in my veins
This must be love
Boom Clap
The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on,
and on, and on, and
Boom Clap
You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to
me now
Boom Clap
The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on,
and on, and on, and
Boom Clap
You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to
me now
No silver or no gold
Could dress me up so good
You're the glitter in the
darkness of my world
Just tell me what to do
I'll fall right into you
Going under cast a spell
just say the word
I feel your love
(Repeat Verse Two)
You are the light and I will
follow
You let me lose, my shadow
You are the sun, the glowing halo
And you keep burning me
up with all of your love
Boom Clap
The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on,
and on, and on, and
Boom Clap
You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to
me, now
Boom Clap
The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on,
and on, and on, and
Boom Clap
You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to
me, now
Boom Clap
The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on,

Boom Clap
You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to
me, now
Boom Clap
The sound of my heart
The beat goes on, and on,

Boom Clap
You make me feel good
Come on to me, come on to
me, now

A
One Direction's Zayn Malik
barraged with Death Threats
W
ithin just minutes of going
online, a tweet by Zayn
Malik managed to cause a
storm of Middle East controversy
for the One Direction singer.
Several weeks into Israel’s deadly
military assault on Gaza, Malik
tweeted the message
‘#FreePalestine’ to his 13 million followers, seemingly showing his solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
The message sparked an immediate angry response from fans in
Israel, with some suggesting One
Direction would lose its fan base in
the country and others going even
further. Among the more incensed
reactions was one suggesting Malik
“kill himself ” and another threatening, “let me kill you.”
Unlike Rihanna, who tweeted
#FreePalestine to her 36 million followers, only to take it down eight
minutes later, after a barrage of
irate replies, Malik left his message
online.
Malik isn’t the only celebrity to
voice his support for Palestine.
Stars, including Javier Bardem,
Penelope Cruz and director Pedro
Almodovar, described the Israeli
campaign as "genocide" in a strongly worded statement.
Rob Schneider, Mia Farrow and
John Cusack are others who have
tweeted messages condemning the
deaths in Gaza, with Farrow saying:
“We can passionately protest Israel’s
assault upon Gaza without descending, even remotely, into the hideousness of anti-Semitism.”
Selena Gomez turned to
Instagram, posting a photo that read
“It’s about humanity, pray for
Gaza,” later saying she was not
“picking any sides” after facing
online criticism, including from
Joan Rivers.
Zayn Malik
Seen 'N' Heard
HEARD…many say those sitting in
judgment need to be more constructive in
their criticism.
Isn’t this some food for thought:
“Your pitching is not right, your timing
is not right, you're looking at lyrics and
singing, your pronunciations is not right,
lots of harmony in the song, but couldn't
be heard, but overall you were great….
Hmmmm, what does that mean?”
Good question, indeed.
