Regine Velasquez

• ... that after a series of co-headlining shows, Solo marked Regine Velasquez's (pictured) first solo concert with a live audience since the COVID-19 pandemic? Source: ; "After joint concerts with fellow music icons, Regine Velasquez is finally set to stage a solo show with a live audience ... Velasquez’s planned show at the Makati City venue will mark her first solo concert with a physical audience since the onset of the pandemic."
  • ALT1: ... that the concert residency Solo was conceived as a 35th year anniversary celebration since Regine Velasquez's (pictured) professional debut? Source:
  • Alt2: ... that part of Regine Velasquez's song choices in her Solo concert series were viral hits from the online video platform TikTok?
  • Alt3: ... that Regine Velasquez prefers to perform smaller-venue concerts, such as in Solo, because she wants to see her audience up close?

Created by Pseud 14 (talk). Self-nominated at 17:40, 29 January 2023 (UTC). Note: As of October 2022, all changes made to promoted hooks will be logged by a bot. The log for this nomination can be found at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Solo (concert residency), so please watch a successfully closed nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• The article meets DYK requirements and a QPQ has been done. ALT0's hook fact is only cited to one sentence; per current DYK rules all sentences forming the basis of the hook must have a footnote. ALT1 is cited; the source is in Filipino, but I can understand Filipino and it checks out. My main concern with the nomination is that neither hook is really that intriguing: the first hook is reliant on COVID; per previous experience, most hooks related to COVID are discouraged now. The second hook is okayish but more on the meh side. I'd like to hear additional hook suggestions first but I'm not really a fan of either hook.

    • @Theleekycauldron and Narutolovehinata5: ALT2 and ALT3 were added and have not been reviewed. Pseud 14 (talk) 22:43, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

      @Theleekycauldron: I'm not really a fan of ALT3; it's not uncommon for artists to prefer more intimate venues wherever possible. I think ALT2 might have potential, however. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:12, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

      • Not entirely sure why I was pinged, but I'll say that it does seem fairly uncommon for hugely popular artists to prefer to sell fewer tickets. It doesn't seem fairly uncommon for an artist to pick their setlist based on which of their songs are well-liked. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:22, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
      • Your call, Narutolovehinata5. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 23:27, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

As a compromise, I'll approve both ALT2 and ALT3. Seems Leeky and I are split on what the better hook option is, so I'll let the promoter be the tiebreaker. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:33, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
