Kaya Natin Ito FREE MP3 Download



Kaya Natin Ito is the Original Pilipino Music's version of We Are the World and Band Aid (Do They Know It's Christmas?). The song's composed by Ogie Alcasid and the intention was to raise funds for the Victims of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. In a way, this has something to do with helping people suffering from hunger--flood related.

I am not a fan of this song. It's just not as good as its western counterparts. Maybe I was just expecting something grand from this song that will encourage people to buy the album. Being an Ondoy victim, I appreciate the Cause of this fund raising campaign. There are still good souls out there. In this case, Filipino artists who are world class talents themselves. Charice Pempengco would have gotten more donations from Oprah alone. Still it's the feeling of Oneness --- Filipinos united in times of tragedies. (Keep telling that to yourself Siren!).

To those who have requested, here's the free mp3 download. Enjoy!

Darna Meets Elektra



Finally we get to see Regine's costume as Elektra. A number of Regine and Darna fans were scared that the Songbird might end up wearing cycling shorts. Good thing she looked more like one of those Walk Like an Egyptian dancers (Joke) or more like Cleopatra.



Darna was not at all threatened by Elektra's powers. They seem to equal each other's strengths. I just don't know if Darna's beam can match Elektra's lightning bolts. Seriously, more than looking like Cleopatra, Regine's costume reminded me of Marin the Assistant of Commander Com in SHAIDER!



Witness Elektra's Non-Threatening words to Darna. Enjoy!

After the Rain-A Hopeful Christmas with Regine



After the Rain is Regine's Christmas Special inspired by Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng. The background music is Love Was Born on Christmas Day from her Christmas album. Did she sing some of the tracks from this album? A new arrangement, perhaps? Or did she sing more inspiring songs (hope, love, friendship, charity and all the remaining virtues that you can think of)?

I really can't help but be reminded of Mariah Carey's Through the Rain. It's permissible since it's very timely and significant. After Ondoy, I just hope I'll receive Regine cds/dvds, posters, vhs tapes (more than 30 pcs of Reg concert and performances 90's-09) that I lost in Ondoy. I'm wishful thinking again. Regine and Aria doesn't even read blogs. But who knows? A miracle awaits me...May it be a hopeful Christmas for me as well...

Here's one of my favorite tracks in Love Was Born on Christmas Day - Cradle Me This Christmas. Most people don't know that it has a music video. Enjoy!

Rachel and Kurt's Defying Gravity



One of my favorite Wicked songs Defying Gravity covered by Lea Michelle (Rachel) and Chris Kolfer (Kurt). This is GLEE's way of introducing Broadway music to the Masses (popular music treatment).

Enjoy Kurt's Defying Gravity version timely to his so-called Accidental coming out interview. His speaking voice reminds me of Jay Manuel (America's Next Top Model). Rachel's voice is really suitable to Broadway music, as expected.
