LOVE IS ALL AROUND

Rap along to Bie The Star's smash hit and you will be able to express "I love you" in more than 10 languages, from "wo ai ni" and "je t'aime" to "te quiero" and "ya vas liubliu", not to forget "rak mak mai, rak teu mak mai" (love very much, love you very much).

Bie The Star will show how much he loves his fans during the ‘‘Love Mak Mai’’ concert which will take place at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani, on July 11-12 at 7pm. He will also be joined on stage by a string of lovely guests.

His loyal fans, of course, love him a lot and that's why tickets for next week's "Love Mak Mai" concert quickly sold out, leading to an additional performance at Muang Thong Thani's Impact Arena. The two shows only are scheduled for July 11-12 starting at 7pm.

Last year's "Love Attack", his first full-scale solo concert, pulled a big crowd to Impact Arena and the bubbly Bie proved himself to be an avid entertainer. Moreover, the talent bomb is anticipated to be a superstar equalling the legendary Pee Bird (Thongchai McIntyre).

Bie The Star, or Sukrit Wisetkaew, made it big after becoming runner-up in The Star 3 competition and so far he's the biggest sensation from the TV show, a Thai version of American Idol, which recently crowned Singharat "Singto" Chanpakdee as champion of the fifth season.

As a singer, the native of Chiang Mai has three albums under his belt. The latest Hug Bie features pop dance numbers like Wait A Minute and Hug (Northern Thai word meaning love) as well as ballads, Mak Mai (Very Much) and Kwam Song Jum Nai Lom Hai Jai (Every Breath I Take I Think of You), which is also a soundtrack to the current soap Phra Chan See Rung.

Starring in the Channel 3 drama, Bie plays a pop idol with a transvestite adoptive father while in the sit-com Nat and Nat on Channel 9, we see him in a more humorous role. Theatregoers also know him well as Nopporn in Kang Lang Parp: The Musical and Pakorn in Banlang Mek: The Musical.

Combining all of his talents for a live variety concert, Bie's rehearsing hard, six hours a day, so as not to disappoint his fans, especially in flaunting footloose steps.

Grand The Star

Whether I Need Somebody or Jangwa Huajai (Rhythms of the Heart) , his lively numbers come with riveting choreography, copied by kids and adults alike, who would love to dance like Bie and, if possible, even with Bie.

Bound to be a highlight of the upcoming concert, the sweet-tempered Taksa-orn "Aff" Paksukcharoen, Phra Chan See Rung's leading actress, will be dancing with Bie. Other guests joining him on stage include Navin Tar, singer/actor and heartthrob with a PhD; Singto, the youngest winner of The Star; and Grand, the dancing princess also from The Star 5.
