Papa Don't Preach

David Cook's version of Mariah Carey's Always Be My Baby was a big hit. It was truly unexpected to have this divaish hit song transformed to a beautiful rock ballad. Regine's version of Madonna's Papa Don't Preach has the same effect. An 80's dance hit immortalized into a pop ballad. Listen and Enjoy!

Wish that this song will be included as a bonus track in her next album.

Low Key Glorietta in High Notes


When you set your expectations low, you'll never regret. At least, that's my belief lately. It's scary at first seeing Glorietta lacking the usual Regine worshippers. But as the show time nears, voila! - the venue's filled. Maybe we're known for the Filipino time as evident in most of Regine's shows. It's never too late to change and kudos to Glorietta's Events management team for being on time. The humongous Swatch reminded them very well that time is indeed money.

This will be a series of entries since the videos recorded are in .MOV files. Converting the files is a tedious task. For this entry, I'll have a video of her most applauded performance. We all know that the album has a laid back theme. Good thing they played with the repertoire and didn't just stick with the album tracks. If they did, Regine could have lulled us to sleep.

Regine sang 11 songs from the album's 18 tracks. A very generous performance. This version's sang definitely in HIGH notes. Enjoy!

Since, not everyone has broadband service - or a not so reliable broadband service. I've made some mp3s for easy access and listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Regine's Pre-loaded MP3 & MP4 Players




Finally the Philippine music industry is moving forward. It's definitely a breath of fresh air ( ala Simon Cowell) to see that the music industry is evolving. As the country's top diva, Regine is obviously the best choice as the marketable artist (multimedia wise)- the singer who can sell mp3 and mp4 players. Remember the proliferation of the now popular WOW Magic Sing was first endorsed by her.

The MP3 Player costs Php 950 and the MP4 Player at Php 1800. The players are pre-loaded with songs from her 7 albums. For your easy reference, please refer below.



18 tracks









10 tracks










8 tracks








11 tracks












13 tracks












5 tracks










5 tracks










You really have to check the MP4 player and see the videos loaded. These are truly Regine Must Haves especially to serious collectors. If you have extra moolah then splurge for the love of our beloved Songbird! One will surely learn to appreciate Regine's transitions and vocal evolutions. It's nice to support these so-called risks by the record companies and other industries involved. We're quite near the digital downloads being practiced in US. This is just the beginning. Of course, the music industry MUST still take risks in promoting Original Pilipino Music. We can never totally veer away from covering beautiful classic songs, but we can start producing more original music. Something that Filipinos can be proud of as their own.

Sirenspeaks @ Chico & Delamar's The Morning Rush


RX 93.1's The Morning Rush never fails to entertain me. Chico and Delamar's formidable tandem is here to stay for good. I would still like to listen to them even when they're in their twilight years. They have this segment Chico and Delamar's Top 10 and their topic on January 8 was all about extinct brands and products. I'm usually the passive listener. I'm too stubborn in sharing my thoughts. There's something special on this particular day. I got soo tired of the entries announced. Either they're too young or can't follow simple rules. Well, my effort paid off. My entry was no. 1


Here's the Winning Extinct Brand/Product: HORLICKS




In immortalizing this momentous event, please refer to the audio file.

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!

DIVAStation!!!



I'm wondering if we can have our own version of Divas Live? So instead of sulking and waiting for the impossible to actualize, I have the following performances uploaded. Happy Holidays! ENJOY!


You big disgrace
I've got the feeling and I'm willing tonight
Well I ain't nobody's angel
Credit is bad
So why dispute me and waste my time



Opening - divastation


We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today


Beautiful - divastation


Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused


eurythmics - divastation


If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name



motown - divastation


Ikaw ang pag-ibig
Sa araw at gabi
Ikaw ang pag-asang tanglaw sa dilim
Napapawi’t hirap at pighati



ikaw lamang - divastation


Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan



sa ugoy - divastation


Sapat na ba ang ako
Ay mangako?

Dito, wala ka na, di ba?
Wala at di na makikita

Sa piling mo, ang gabi’y tila araw
Ikaw ang pangarap

Para bang kay bigat
Ng nadarama



opm hits - divastation

You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss

The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

If the music's pumping it will give you new life
You're a superstar, yes, that's what you are, you know it


madonna - divastation


Sa kanyang kilos at galaw tayo ay naaaliw
Sa ating mga mata isa lamang siyang baliw
Ngunit kung tayo ay hahatulang sabay
Sa mata ng Maykapal, siya'y higit na banal



baliw - divastation





And I love you so...

People ask me how

How I've lived till now

I tell them I don't know




And I Love You So - Divastation

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!

Presenting... CHARICE Pempengco in Eastwood

So for Charice's Opening number...You'll love her...




Charice's Youtube success didn't just start all by herself...





Who says Charice can't dance? She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round...





And because she loves Celine Dion and because you love her...





Since she's David Foster's new fave talent why not do a Bodyguard medley...





Charice's best friend and a promising belter as well - Rhap Salazar.






Not to be frazzled by the tech problem, Rhap is a born performer he wowed everyone with a Regine song.






Charice reminiscing... Listen.






Celine is my IDOl !!! says Charice






I hear the ticking of the clock... The show's about to end...





Charice is good. She may not be the best belter that we have in our country,but she managed to do something that most teens can't do - adults as well. She's born to perform. She performed when needed. She didn't falter in extreme pressure given by the media or simply by the people surrounding her. She managed to SHINE in every occasion.

Ramielle Malubay LIVE in Manila



I like Ramielle even if she doesn't have a powerful voice. Being a Fil Am, she was admirable when she wasn't scared of telling the whole world that Regine is one of her IDOLs. This is something that Fil Ams should emulate. Never be afraid of your lineage.

Finally, after finishing the Idol Tour, she'll be here. Hopefully, she'll get to sing with her fave Songbird. What's final and absolute is that she's part of the concert :The Idol Experience: Ogie Sings with the Idol. This is a two night concert on December 20 & 21. She will be joined by Gretchen Espina - GMA 7 Pinoy Idol's Winner and the other 11 Finalists.
