Belle Mariano pushed her creative boundaries once again with her sold-out birthday concert, 'BELIEVE,' last July 13 at the Theatre at Solaire.


During the media conference for her concert, she mentioned, 'I’ll do a lot of things I never expected myself to do as well.' And she did not disappoint (c’mon, she did aerial dance!)


Belle's concert was hosted by Aiyana Perlas and Jae Miranda. Pre-show performances were courtesy of Shanaia Gomez and Rob Blackburn.


Sharing her thoughts on the very core message of her 'BELIEVE' concert, Belle told the crowd, 'Before other people believe in you, kailangan mo rin pala maniwala sa sarili mo. And now, I finally know what I was made for. I was made to perform, and deep in my heart, I really hope that I can inspire more people.'

Here are the highlights of Belle Mariano's 'BELIEVE' concert and everything we loved about it as well:

The opening number

What a way to make a grand entrance and make her fans over the moon! Belle opened her concert with a performance of 'To the Moon' with the A-Team, as if telling her fans that she loves them to the moon and back. The beautiful set deserves some credit, too! Wearing a silver glitzy gown, Belle shone even brighter at her birthday concert.

Her renditions of international hits

Before Belle treated her fans to her own songs, she performed Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso' and Jung Kook's 'Standing Next to You.' From her opening number, we loved the quick outfit twists, with her gown turning into a dress which was later layered with a black oversized studded blazer.

Her duets with her special guests

First of all, what a huge compliment it was for the one and only Concert King Martin Nievera to dub Belle as the 'NGCP' or 'New Gen Concert Princess!' And with her experiences and accomplishments so far, she truly deserves the title. 'Be the princess. Aim for the queen,' he added. Martin and Belle performed The Police's 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic.'


Moira dela Torre was also among her special guests. Moira co-wrote one the songs in Belle's new album alongside Joseph Landreth-Smith. It's called 'Little World Changer,' and Belle and Moira performed it together at the concert. The two also entertained the crowd with their duet of Moira's song, 'We & Us.'


The sweet Belle also channeled her sexy side with her song and dance number with Denise Julia to the tune of the latter's 'B.A.D.' song.

Belle and Donny's mini concert

The most special among her special guests was, of course, Donny Pangilinan. Donny has always been supportive of Belle, but we think this was on a whole new level of love and support for her. He didn't just make an appearance, he performed with her and showcased his talent in piano! It felt like a mini concert within Belle's main concert.


Donny went up onstage to meet Belle for a hot dance number to the tune of Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes' '(I've Had) The Time of My Life.'



Donny and Belle then performed Belle's songs, 'For Your Eyes Only' and 'Sigurado,' Rivermaya's 'You'll Be Safe Here' (which is Can't Buy Me Love's OST), BINI's 'Huwag Muna Tayo Umuwi,' and BGYO's 'He's Into Her' (where the DonBelle love team started).







'Congratulations on a successful concert. You are the definition that when you believe in something, it can happen, and I'm so proud of you,' Donny told Belle.



'Bugambilya' duet with her fans

During the media conference for her concert, Belle advised her fans to 'prepare your lungs, prepare your voices.' And that's because a part of the concert was dedicated to a moment between Belle and her fans. They performed Belle's song, 'Bugambilya.'



The New Gen Concert Princess performs her new songs

Belle highlighted the songs from her newly-released 'BELIEVE' album, so her solo stage performances included 'Apelyido,' 'Biglaan,' 'Pakisagot,' and 'I, Save Me.'







Belle soars to new heights as a music artist

With her 'BELIEVE' concert adding to her long list of accomplishments, it's crystal clear that there's no other way to go but up for Belle. She started her concert sitting pretty on a crescent moon and she ended it by taking her performance to new heights with an aerial dance. Way to go, Belle!



'Thank you so much for believing that I can achieve great things, and thank you because you helped me make my dreams come true,' Belle shared.


Congratulations, Belle!
