Hello, After watching Jon Secada perform how likely would you purchase his latest CD "Same Dream" ?

I was there last night as well. Masquerade was clearly filler material during the commercial breaks, and they definitely did appear too many times. At times they appeared a bit unrehearsed, but they did a decent job. It was rather amusing, though, each subsequent time they were announced for a singalong, the crowd let out a little bit louder moan. By the time they announced the last singalong when the Mayor and Santa were on stage, everyone in the audience was going "oh man, not another singalong!". It's great that they telecast the show, but all the commerical breaks really kill the whole flow of it. At one point, Jordan Knight was awkwardly standing on the stage looking blankly into the audience waiting for his cue. It would be nice if they could just find a sponsor to make a nice donation so it could be commercial-free.

Carrie ... thanks for the run down. Knight referred to Bostonians and Bostonites? Wow, that is pretty impressive.

I attended the tree lighting last night. Masquerade - Boston's song & dance troupe - appeared too many times. Their dancing was a v. mediocre, singing was ok. Jordan Knight - seems like a nice guy, but lacks talent. Also referred to us in the crowd as Bostonites before remembering we are Bostonians. Jon Secada - engaging performer, gave a strong vocal performance. Mumbles & Santa - pretty much as you'd expect.
