LUX - Only Pure Touches My Skin

If one patiently researches, one will discover that some things aren't new at all. Even advertising ideas are just being rehashed or modernized to suit the changing times. I thought that the tag line "Only Belo Touches My Skin" was an original idea by one of the top advertising firms. I was wrong. See and hear for yourself.

Clouds Across The Moon

"Good evening. This is the intergalactic operator. Can I help you?"
"Yes. I'm trying to reach flight commander P.R. Johnson, on Mars, flight 2-4-7"
"Very well, hold on please [beeping] you're through!"
"Thank you operator!"

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we are
experiencing violent storm conditions in the asteriod belt at this
time. We may lose this valuable deep space communication link.
Please, be as brief as possible.
Thank you."

or it's...or it's..."Hello?" "Hello operator?"
" Yes, we've lost the connection! Could you try again please?"
-"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we've lost contact with Mars 2-4-7
at this time."

"Ok. Thank you very much...
I'll...I'll try again next year...next year...next year...next year..."


I wonder how Regine would have sounded if she had included these lyrics from the original version by Rah Band. It would have been very interesting. The sound is soo Wave 89.1 and Crossover 88.3.




Here's the music video of the original version by Rah Band. It's so hilarious. Sooo 80s!!! Enjoy!!!

Charice Pempengco's Live Performances in Eastwood

I've been pre-occupied with the Divas 4 Divas video uploads. My apologies. I will definitely upload Charice's performances in Libis anytime this week. So please be patient on this matter. There are 7 videos or more. I'm somewhat disappointed with the copyright issues of the Divas 4 Divas video uploads. I noticed that not all vids had copyright issues. Now, I'm thinking these vids will not be shown on tv. I'm not seeing any problem with Charice's vids since it's a free show.

More Divas 4 Divas Domination???

The youtube clicks are overwhelmingly high. But I need your support in my blog. So I'd like YOU to post your comments stating the performances that you would like to see. I will upload the videos this week based on
their popularity.

I'll be waiting.... Change of plans. There have been copyright issues. The producers are really after profit after all. IF this was a Solo Regine concert, Aria wouldn't be bothered if there were amatuer vids uploaded in youtube. How sad... But there's always a solution to everything---in private...

Divas 4 Divas a Major DIVAstation

Based on my previous entry about hard economic times, I did my best not to give in to my wants. I meant, I would love to splurge for these 4 Divas. But I need to tame myself. On second thought, being offered by scalpers 50% discount on high end tickets is such a welcome temptation. If they were just early, I would have surrendered to such offers.

I intentionally did not read any articles nor watch any tv appearances when they were promoting this show. I wanted to watch the show with ZERO expectations. Honestly, I believe that Rowell Santiago's resignation as the show's director, was purely a marketing gimmick. So there's an effective formula for creating a much needed buzz for this once in a lifetime concert. Look at the picture and see for yourself.




So where do I begin? I used to be very detailed and unforgiving in my reviews before. But since I'd like to be interactive, I'll let the vids and the pics narrate what really transpired during the show. Now, please be forgiving since am not in the best seating position and for strategic recording purposes. I can't be in front seats and blatantly record the entire show. I'd like to pay Respect to GMA since the show will be televised this month. For sure there will be additional graphics that will be incorporated when they release this on tv. So, please be content with an amateur video. The main purpose is to share to those less fortunate Songbird worshippers, fans, friends and loved ones of the other Divas worldwide. I am not in any manner, intends to jeopardize this TV Special.










These are random pictures that will serve as teasers. I will do my best in uploading the vids IN ORDER. Let's start with this one.

False alarm! Here's the Real Opening - We Will Rock You, Queen of the Night & Free Your Mind. The outfits remind me of Christian Siriano of Project Runway Season 4.





So the opening number's just like one of those overtly used medleys. I was scared that it'll be predictable. Not until they played the chords of I'll Be There --- it turned out to be Beautiful!




And so to Really Love a Woman....





Annie Lennox ! Sweet Dreams are made of ..







What the??? Dreamgirls local version? I was wrong... tribute to Diana Ross





I had to stop. My apologies to Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah fans. Need to allot space for more important performances. She sang Love Will Find You... Someday..


Ikaw Lamang?





One of my favorites. I like the ethnic touch in the arrangement. I love the way Regine sounded like Grace Nono. A tribute to the ALL time Diva - Mothers. Sa Ugoy ng Duyan arranged by Bob Aves. Enjoy!






After this song let me get some sleep. It's been a LONG day... To be continued

Needs are created by the media in order to entice buyers into purchasing more for the current year than the previous year. No one's to be disappointed at Christmas, after all. There's a blatant manipulation to the viewing public. And who can bring themselves to crush the psyche of anyone by not giving them all they want?

The end result of all of this is "HAPPINESS." The receivers (viewers) of the presents are happy and the merchandisers (concert producers) are happy. The media people are happy and the credit card people are happy. Everything and Everyone is HAPPY during Christmas.


I got this leakage of the concert's repertoire. Thanks to Lolo MAO!! ENJOY!!!
