DIVA diva diva diva Regine

DIVA is Regine's latest Musical teleserye. A first in the Philippines. When I saw her interview, she reminded me of Bakekang especially with her nose and protruding front teeth. The only difference is Diva's extreme level of ugliness - warts galore and her bronze skin (there's nothing wrong with black the humongous warts worsened everything).

Since Diva is a musical, I'm expecting a similar format to GLEE. I can only speculate that this is similar to the Korean comedy film of an obese singer with a beautiful voice but had to settle as a ghost singer, simply because her weight issue does not make her marketable in the music industry. It's possible that Regine/Diva has a superb voice with an extremely ugly face and will have to settle with plastic surgery to become the mainstream DIVA that everyone likes. It's possible that the good looking Regine/Diva is just a mere dream sequence.

Is Regine's new album based on DIVA? A double cd - covers & original songs which would explain the need for the DIVA songwriting contest. I can only speculate. Given that Jaya is in the cast, I'm 100% sure it'll be fun...

DIVAS Sucked!

It's a brand new year. I should be full of positive thoughts and feelings. But welcoming the new year and finding out that the divastation uploads were gone is definitely, not a Happy scenario. I'm getting tired of all these uploads. On the other hand, I'd like to see a silver lining. I've made some people Happy! I've accomplished even a small percentage of my original plan. Music is all about sharing. I guess, I can consider that as charity work for this year, which will eventually earn me some good karma especially to Regine worshippers.

Divas can be over rated. Bloated egos can create disastrous results. Hear for yourself. Enjoy!

Regine's Christmas Message

Don't be afraid to stand up when you fall
To try and strive until you've given it all
And don't be afraid to learn from your mistakes
Don't let your spirit break and put you down

There's a spark of hope to guide you
Just believe in what's inside you
Someday all your wishes will come true

(If you/When you) hold on, hold on to your dreams
Don't ever give up no matter how hard it seems
Until you see the sun come shining bright for you
Hold on till your dreams come true

Dare to be strong and weather all the storms
It's time to cast your doubts and fears away
Stand brave and tall, through troubles great and small
You'll beat the odds with just a little faith

There's a spark of hope to guide you
Just believe in what's inside you
Someday all your wishes will come true


Until you see the sun come shining bright for you
Hold on till dreams come true


When you're down and out you must begin again
Until you finally reach the rainbow's end


Note: Here's a RARE live performance of Hold On To Your Dreams. I think it's a B5, if not an A5




For those who prefer audio formats. Enjoy!

Hold On To Your Dreams (LIVE)- RegineV.mp3 - Regine Velasquez

Regine @ 16 Wouldn't Beg For Water

Gmdeleon's such a blessing to Regine's followers and friends. Another rare live performance of Sheena Easton's famous song (aside from Almost Over You). She performed this in Ariel Ureta's tv show - Stop, Look & Listen.

Regine @ 16 Singing Overjoyed

Thanks to gmdeleon's uploads (Regine's Love Me Again and Greatest Love of All). Here's another rare performance of a Stevie Wonder hit song. This is definitely a remarkable copy since it's from an audiotape.

Regine's timbre @ 16 was still teeny bopperish. Lacking in texture and depth. What's admirable was her vocal control. Enjoy!
