For singer Kuh Ledesma, the Superstar was not just a good person, but a remarkable artist as well
MANILA, Philippines – Many figures in the local entertainment industry have their own fond memories with the late Nora Aunor. For singer Kuh Ledesma, the Superstar was not just a good person, but a remarkable artist as well.
“Guy is the biggest superstar of our nation. Hindi lang (Not just) superstar, super duper star. Grabe ‘yung talent niya,” Ledesma said during Aunor’s wake on April 20 at The Chapels at Heritage Park in Taguig City.
Ledesma remembered her “Ate Guy” as someone who would gamely accept her invitations. She looked back on the time she asked Aunor to attend a ribbon cutting at the Music Museum in San Juan City, and she readily obliged.
More than this, however, it was the Superstar’s astonishing artistry that Ledesma would never forget. Aunor and Ledesma shared the stage at their “Power of Two” concert in the ’90s. Ledesma said that back then, Aunor would never practice.
“Hindi nagpapractice ‘yan, so ako ang kinakabahan kasi ‘power of two’ kami. Pero pagdating ng show, alam na alam niya ‘yung tono, ang galing niyang kumanta. Kaya naman ang dami-dami niyang fans,” Ledesma said.
(She wouldn’t practice, so I would get nervous because we were called “power of two.” But when the show came, she knew the tone well, and was so good at singing. That’s why she had so many fans.)
Ledesma recalled that she put the photo she took with the Superstar on her window, and would often pray to the Lord to save her. The last time she recited that prayer was two days before Aunor passed away at 71 due to acute respiratory failure.
“Nalungkot ako. I wish that I had the opportunity to share with her. But dahil hiningi ko sa pangalan ni Hesus, naniniwala ako na ligtas si Guy,” she said.
(I got sad. I wish that I had the opportunity to share with her. But because I asked for it in the name of Jesus, I believe Guy was saved.)
Ledesma also recalled one of the most unforgettable things about Aunor was how much she loved her fans or “Noranians,” who are also very loyal to the Superstar. – Rappler.com
