This week, Pinoy Idol is set for Metro Manila. As usual, big crowd is expected. As early as 4:00 am an estimated 5,000 people were waiting outside the venue and at 6:oo am the audition started with more than 15,000 aspiring singers. Jolina Magdangal was not present, it was Ms. Ida Henares (Head for GMA Artist Center) who took Jolina's place, which i think is way better than Jolina. Wyngard Tracy sounded too Simon and Ogie Alcasid was boring this week. Speaking of boredom, this week's edition was so boring and was a disappointment. Just few of them were impressive and promising. I don't even remember highlights of this week's episode except for one from Batangas, a 17 year old Carol Anne Leus. Got the voice quality and the voice control. I hope to see her in the finals. Next week, the excitement begins as 175 contestants battle it out in the elimination round. Videos are available below.
One of Philippines sought-after actors and now one of Philippines music’s finest performers is back with a brand new album. Jericho Rosales is releasing his self-titled album with its kick-off single "Paglisan", produced by EMI Phils. Self-titled album "Jericho" boasts the new single "Paglisan" which was once a hit-topping song of the charts as #1 at Yes FM and strongly getting airplay on other stations. “Paglisan” is a remake of 90s band Color It Red. The new album includes four of OPM hit songs with Rosales’own rendition of Sharon Cuneta’s powerful "Pangarap na Bituin" (also from the drama series of the same title); to Tito Mina’s funky "Ikaw Pa Rin" as Rosales himself describes as funny but romantic song; to remake of Joshua Kadison’s hit "Beautiful In My Eyes" with Rosales’ dreamy voice. To complete this 8-track album, four of his original compositions culled from Rosales’ Jeans debut album are "Ngayong Gabi", "Tuwing Nakikita Ka", "Coming Out" and "Kasama Ka".
This is the new id plug of GMA's Artist Center. I was looking forward to this ID plug and when it premiered this afternoon over at SOP i felt a little bit disappointed. It was okay, but i was not impressed. GMA was boasting this plug for a week now and i am expecting like super special and extraordinary plug. It was like watching a fashion show video with "Please Don't Stop The Music" as the background music. It was good but it was not the best. Check the video below.
