<p>Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 alumna Rain Celmar took center stage on May 30 as she launched her debut extended play (EP) album <em>b luvd </em>at the SM North EDSA Sky Dome, in a solo sold-out event titled Meteor Rain.</p><p>Talking about her performance, Rain admitted feeling both nervous and excited as she stepped into the spotlight as a solo artist.</p><p>“Well, siguro this is something new kasi solo na po talaga. Yeah, the kaba is there. Pero I&#x27;m comfortable naman kasi as I rehearsed, I was imagining the people there watching na and it felt great,” Rain expressed.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17491739916020f915a4b-d5e5-48cb-a456-2e50b6e508fc.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/> </strong></div><p>She added, “I wanna do great din and I wanna show you guys the best of me. Kaya yun po.”</p><p>Rain also opened up about the challenge of preparing for the concert, particularly having to go on vocal rest, something difficult for the naturally talkative former housemate.</p><p>“I had my vocal rest. I feel like that was one of the hardest talaga,” she said. “As a madaldal person, that was really hard to do. I did vocal rest and then my mom made me ginger with lemon with honey na iniinom.”</p><p>During the event, Rain performed all five tracks from her EP such as the title track “b luvd,“ “miss senti(mental)”, “eyes open”, “ligaya,” and “pahuway.” She also surprised the audience with a cover of BLACKPINK Jennie and Dua Lipa’s collaboration, &quot;Handlebars.&quot;</p><div> </div><div><strong></strong></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKSZjlsTL4Q/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A1649490.1%2C%22ls%22%3A210412.8999999999%2C%22le%22%3A210419.80000000028%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="568" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><p>In her opening message, Rain expressed disbelief and gratitude at the opportunity to headline her own show.</p><p>“Wow!
