There’s one that asked James, which was his favorite part of Nadine’s body. While another one asked Nadine what’s going on in her head whenever she sees James topless and whether or not her “kilig” onscreen is actually something real. (At this point, fans were still clueless that the two are already an item).</div><div><br/></div><div></div><div><br/></div><div><b>2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>James’s Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber performances</b></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/022316/PUSH%20PIN/022316-jadine2_pushpins.jpg" alt="022316-jadine2_pushpins.jpg" width="600" height="435" align="center" border="0"/><br/></div><div><br/></div><div>The Fil-Australian hottie has been very open about how much he loves Justin Bieber so it did not really come as a surprise that he performed a couple of songs. Prior to that number though, James showcased his snappy dance moves to the tune of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s hits.</div><div><br/></div><div></div><div><br/></div><div><b>3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>Nadine’s Spice Girls medley</b></div><div><b><br/></b></div><div style="text-align:center"><b><img src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/022316/PUSH%20PIN/022316-jadine3_pushpins.jpg" alt="022316-jadine3_pushpins.jpg" width="600" height="435" align="center" border="0"/><br/></b></div><div><b><br/></b></div><div>There’s nothing like a good Spice Girls throwback and Nadine made sure to give it justice by bringing in her closest pals Myrtle and Yassi to join her for a cute performance onstage. What made this portion stand out was how obvious it was that the three ladies were enjoying what they were doing.</div><div><br/></div><div></div><div><br/></div><div><b>4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>Nadine channeling J.Lo</b></div><div><b><br/></b></div><div style="text-align:center"><b><img src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/022316/PUSH%20PIN/022316-jadine4_pushpins.jpg" alt="022316-jadine4_pushpins.jpg" width="600" height="435" align="center" border="0"/><br/></b></div><div><b><br/></b></div><div>We all know Nadine can dance for she was after all a member of an all-girl group in the past but her dancing was on a different level that night. Complete with a ghetto outfit and with matching cane, Nadine unleashed her inner Jennifer Lopez to the tune of the singer’s “Get It Right” which had the audience in awe.</div><div><br/></div><div></div><div><br/></div><div><b>5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>Interpretative dance with Juan Miguel Severo video</b></div><div><b><br/></b></div><div style="text-align:center"><b><img src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/022316/PUSH%20PIN/022316-jadine5_pushpins.jpg" alt="022316-jadine5_pushpins.jpg" width="600" height="435" align="center" border="0"/><br/></b></div><div><b><br/></b></div><div>If there is one thing that OTWOL especially made popular, that is the incorporation of the spoken word to their show. The people behind the show made sure to carry this over with a recording of Juan Miguel’s piece. They even upped their ante by pairing his heart melting words with James and Nadine’s seductive and almost acrobatic interpretative dance to the tune of “Stay with Me” and “All of Me.”</div><div><br/></div><div></div><div><br/></div><div><b>6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>“Ikaw” mashup</b></div><div><b><br/></b></div><div style="text-align:center"><b><img src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/022316/PUSH%20PIN/022316-jadine6_pushpins.jpg" alt="022316-jadine6_pushpins.jpg" width="600" height="435" align="center" border="0"/><br/></b></div><div><br/></div><div>The audience almost went wild when James and Nadine mashed up two versions of “Ikaw” by Regine Velasquez and Yeng Constantino in what ended up as one of their most captivating performances during the night. At that moment, it was as if they were singing the song’s lyrics to one another. </div><div><br/></div><div></div><div><br/></div><div><b>7.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>Almost wedding moment </b></div><div><b><br/></b></div><div style="text-align:center"><b><img src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/archive/features/2016/022316/PUSH%20PIN/022316-jadine7_pushpins.jpg" alt="022316-jadine7_pushpins.jpg" width="600" height="435" align="center" border="0"/><br/></b></div><div><b><br/></b></div><div>After tying the knot on their soap twice, James and Nadine mimicked the scene anew as they walked down the “aisle” which traversed at the center of the entire VIP area of the Big Dome going to the stage complete wedding ensemble while being serenaded by Kyla and Erik. </div><div><br/></div><div>But the most enchanting moment of the night (again prior to the “I love you”) was when Nadine and James slow-danced to “On The Wings of Love.” It’s as if they got lost into the rhythm as they danced with their faces only a few centimeters away from each other. At one point, while staring into each other’s eyes with their beaming smiles, fans thought that they would kiss but alas they did not. The confession after the show more than made up for that.</div><div><br/></div>

James Reid and Nadine Lustre went all out in their performances at the Big Dome.
