Who was voted best Singer in Las Vegas in 2007 when Celine Dion was performing there, can sing Britney, Celine, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, plus Operatic arias, and hit the high notes on Minnie Ripperton's classic "Loving You"?
Lani Misalucha is a beautiful and talented singer who can. She performed in Las Vegas at Bally's and the Flamingo with the SOS, the Society of Seven, and in 2011, opened the "Return to Paradise" show at the Holiday Inn Waikiki Beachcomber.
Prior to that, she won numerous singing awards in her native Phillipines, and has several recordings available for sale, both studio and live performances. Search her on youtube to get a sense of her talent.
The show was fabulous, she was the star, but had a talented group of singers, dancers and musicians backing her up. She not only has incredible vocal range and a great repertoire of genre, she is also an entertaining and funny stage performer.
Unfortunately, when I went in late July about 6 months after she opened, the room was only half full, and filled mostly with Kama'aina and locals. I guess the retired couples from Kansas on their once in a lifetime vacation to Waikiki couldn't justify the $50 dollar cost to see a Las Vegas type show with an incredible talent.
Sadly, the Return to Paradise show concluded its run at the Waikiki Beachcomber on September 9, 2012.
But if you ever catch the name of Lani Misalucha coming into to town, go see here, as she is a truly talented singer.
Went to see Lani's show Aug. 17th to celebrate our anniversary and SHE IS AMAZING! Â Lani's range of voice, style and comedic timing is just perfect. Â The band was great as well, especially when Lani sang on opera. then, she did a tributeto the divas. Â THESE DIVAS DON'T HOLD A CANDLE COMPARED TO LANI. Â She's also very engaging with all the audience. Â Lani's talent is a joy to watch. Â There's so much variety that tourists & local folks NEED to see the show. Mabuhay & Aloha!
