“A ROYAL CHARITY GALA - REMEMBERING WHITNEY – THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL”
Trina Johnson Finn rocked the stage and brought the essence of Whitney Houston to Kuala Lumpur Kuala Lumpur, 22 March 2019: She came from Las Vegas, she sang and she was channelling Whitney Houston for the night.
Clad in black, Trina Johnson Finn commanded the stage and gave the crowd perfect renditions of Whitney Houston’s classics such as “I Will Always Love You, “I Have Nothing”, Where Do Broken Hearts Go” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”.
Before Trina took the stage, the crowd was treated to a special performance from two very young talented aspiring musicians! Roy Wong , 13 wowed everyone with his powerhouse vocals, belting out “The Greatest Love of All” with local songbird - Tria Aziz.
Without missing a beat, Falizstha Sarafina Subahan, 15, sang a beautiful rendition of “Run to You”.
Growing up listening to Whitney, Roy and Falizstha were thrilled to be able to perform some of her greatest hits.
“Whitney’s Houston music was challenging but it had a lot of soul to it! It’s a very surreal experience being here,” adds Falizstha.
“REMEMBERING WHITNEY - THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL”, a 90-minute live music concert celebrating the life and top selling hits of the late Whitney Houston was presented by Milestone Productions Sdn Bhd in collaborate with BAKASA for the Royal Charity Gala. This non-profit, charitable body that aims to provide a better living environment for the underprivileged raised RM700,000 from ticket sales. These funds will be channelled into uplifting children who are orphans.
These orphans come from RukTAA - a home for underprivileged children and CINTAA - a platform world of science, technology and innovation.
Sultanah Hajjah Kalsom Abdullah was Royal Guest of Honour.
“Tonight was the perfect way to celebrate all the strong women out there - you are truly the Queen Of the Night! Trina was truly remarkable on stage and I believe everyone enjoyed her charisma. She really connected with everyone in the audience and took us on a journey through Whitney’s life,” shared Grace Lee, Managing Director of Milestone Production Sdn Bhd.
