Darna Book 2: Regine Velasquez as Planet Woman

Darna's Book 2 will start on Nov. 30. Regine Velasquez' devouts will be happy to see their esteemed Songbird in a Villainess role. According to Raffy Arcega a Darna Consulant " So far Regine's the only Planet Woman that has been cast. Whether she's gonna have a team remains to be seen. In the original movie, the Planet Women are called that because they steal worlds in order to annexe them as their own planet is overly populated. But in order to do that, they intend to take the Earth from its place in the Universe and displace it spatially but in doing so destroys Earth's life forms".

There's a bunch of villainesses in the presence of Rochelle Pangilinan as Babaeng Manananggal, Jackie Rice as Diabolica, Katrina Halili as Serpina and a villain Akihiro as a Vampire (talk about the Twiight series). More enemies, more action and of course Higher ratings!

Rhap Salazar @ Ellen DeGeneres Show

It's heart warming to see a Filipino talent like Rhap Salazar appearing in the Ellen De Generes Show. It's his birthday wish--- coming true. So young singers who can belt (gauge of a bright singing career in the Philippines) and want Exposure can just use this proven practice. They can also malinger that they have a rare disease and would simply want to impart his or her talent worldwide.

Rhap's version of All By Myself (Celine Dion) was not as impressive compared to his performances in WCOPA, Wowowee and ASAP. It's pretty obvious his throat was sore ( with something (an alien matter)). I'd say this again, Filipino talents are being recognized in the US. The most unfortunate reality is that these artists (Charice, Rhap & Arnel Pineda) always fail to mention a single Filipino artist that they idolized and emulated. Maybe it's their way of subtly implying that they want to perform with the Famous & Formidable US artists (like Whitney Houstoon).

I got dismayed by Charice's blatant appreciation to these Famous US talents before. Her strategy and appeal to the emotions of the American audience definitely paid off (she's getting bigger and better in the US music scene). Now, it's Rhap her bff or should i say gbf who is doing the same thing. I have high hopes for Kris Angelica the Birit Baby who can belt like Regine Velasquez. I just hope that when her time comes in performing in Ellen or some foreign show, she will make me more proud as a Filipino, who truly values his or her lineage.

As for Rhap, hopefully, when Oprah invites you, you'll be more proud of your roots. I'm looking forward to seeing you in After Ellen.com!

Mariah Carey-oke Grand Finals I Want to Know What Love Is

I never expected there's a WOW Magic Sing Mariah Carey-Oke Singing Contest. Locally, we have Regine Velasquez, Willie Revillame and Charice Pempengco as the major endorsers. MCA Music is responsible for this collaboration and Odyssey.

The main goal was to promote Mariah's Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel album. There were 20 semi-finalists who auditioned in various Odyssey branches and got a score of 95 and above using WOW Magic Sing. I enjoyed watching this contest since it's open to all age groups and sexual preferences. I am used to seeing a young boy belting a Mariah song with his parents' hope of not seeing his precious son joining a beauty contest in his adult years. Of course, the jolly Mariah Carey wannabees never failed to amuse me

Since Mariah is known for her belting prowess I've expected some Birit Babies (kids with belting power) and adult belters. But I never expected a lesbo Mariah fan. I am not stereo-typing people, but maybe, I just got so used to seeing and hearing Aiza Seguerra and the Indigo girls' acoustic type of music. Ooops! How can I forget Heart's Ann Wilson (a belter-spared) who guested in the L Word.

Due to time constraints, the semi-finalists had to sing a portion of Mariah's I Want to Know What Love Is which I found very challenging since the high notes are usually in the end part of the song. It's only the top 3 finalists who got to sing the song compeletely. Here are the videos.

Hindi Ka Nag-iisa (Love Offering for Noynoy Aquino)

People change. Regine never endorsed any politician before. Recording Hindi Ka Nag-iisa is not just pleasing the composer/partner Ogie Alcasid. It is for a bigger cause - the fate of the Philippines for the next 6 years. It is very apparent that Noynoy Aquino is being supported by some of the country's popular and bankable stars. The influence of Kris Aquino's hubby James Yap and Ateneo's Blue Eagles is also visible (Kerby Raymundo, Willie Miller, KG Canaleta, Cyrus Baguio, Enrico Villanueva, LA Tenorio, Larry Fonacier and Paulo Bugia).

This is also a good collaboration of GMA's (Dingdong Dantes, Marian Rivera) and ABS-CBN's (Sharon Cuneta, Boy Abunda, Anne Curtis, Bianca Gonzales, Mariel Rodriguez, Erik Santos, Bea Alonzo, & AiAi delas Alas) significant stars today.
