Cheesa Laureta Makes it to the Top 10 of “The Voice”

Filipino-American singer Cheesa Laureta survived the instant elimination on the US talent search “The Voice” on Monday night (Tuesday morning in Manila). Her powerful performance of “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston was received with a standing ovation from Christina Aguilera, one of the coaches on the show. 

In an interview with ABS-CBN shown on TV Patrol, she said that she was elated by the gesture and the praises from Aguilera and Laureta’s coach, Cee Lo Green.

"It felt great. I've been trying so hard not to please but just to find my place here. Tonight was it for me," she said in the interview.

Laureta is currently in the top 10 overall and in the top 3 of Team Cee Lo.

James Massone, also from Team Cee Lo, was chosen for elimination by their coach.

However, Laureta and the other contestants will still face another elimination this week. The two contestants with the lowest votes will go home on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning in Manila).

The winner of this phenomenal talent show will receive a recording contract and a chance to be the next music superstar.

Arnel Pineda documentary film premiered at Tribeca

The documentary film about Journey front man Arnel Pineda entitled "Don't Stop Believin': Every Man's Journey" premiered to a sold-out crowd at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Thursday night. 

The documentary, directed by Filipino-American filmmaker Ramona Diaz, tells the unlikely story of how the life of a Filipino singer changed from obscurity to fame after he became the lead singer of the iconic rock band Journey. The film documents Pineda's audition for the band, as well as the band's most extensive tour to date in 2008.

Pineda and his Journey bandmates walked the red carpet before the world premiere. They include Neal Schon, Journey's guitarist who saw the video of Arnel on YouTube . Fans gave Arnel and the filmmakers a rousing standing ovation at the end of the screening. 

In 2007, the Journey band was looking for a new lead singer. The band's guitarist, Neal Schon was searching the Internet late one night and stumbled upon a YouTube video of Arnel Pineda and his band Zoo, performing Journey's "Faithfully" in the Philippines. He was so impressed by the performance that he sent an email to Pineda, who was subsequently flown to the U.S. to audition.

Pineda's family was poor and the singer, at one point had to live on the streets of Manila. Living on the road in the United States, away from his family back home, was also not easy for him. 

Pineda and his bandmates are set to embark on another concert tour that will kick off in California in July this year.

Refrain:
Bigyan ng ingay itong gabi,
Walang tahimik na sandali,
Tara na......
Umawit kasabay ng kanta.

Chorus:
Tuma-tambay at nagkakatitigan.
Alam naman nila kahit na di mag aminan.
Tuma-tambay at nagkaka-igihan.
Ito ang aking kwento.
Ituloy mo lang ang kwento at tayo'y gagawa ng kanta.

Tayo'y; umawit pa,
Hanggang malimot ang ulan.
Damdamin ko'y ilalahad.
Sa bawat himig ang buhay lagyan natin ng kulay.

Charice ranked number 4 in Billboard’s “Top Stars Under 21” List

There’s no stopping Filipina international singing sensation Charice as she continues to reap praises and recognition in the international music scene. After her successful debut on the pilot episode of the second season of “Glee”, Charice was ranked number 4 in Billboard.com’s “21 Under 21:Music Hottest Minors.”

The artists included in the list were chosen for their potential to rule the pop culture zeitgeist over the next 12 months. Billboard explained that the help of Oprah Winfrey who plucked the Filipina sensation from obscurity two years ago and the US hit musical series "Glee" season 2 makes Charice really "hot."

Last Wednesday, a day after her successful debut on the hit musical series “Glee,” two of the songs he sang in the series landed in the iTunes Top 10 lists in the US. Her version of “Telephone (Lady Gaga and Beyonce)" with "Glee"'s Lea Michele reached the number 2 spot while her solo performance of “Listen” (Beyonce) landed on the number 8 spot.
Here’s what the Billboard article said about Charice:

“Why She's Hot: Oprah and "Glee": They're two of TV's most powerful zeitgeist-definers, and both have fallen head over heels for Charice Pempengco. Credit the Queen of All Media for plucking the Filipina sensation from obscurity two years ago and introducing her to Celine Dion.

"The hype finally paid off this spring, when Charice debuted in the Billboard 200 top 10 with her first US album. But it's Fox's high school musical hit, in which she now plays a foreign exchange student with killer pipes to match Rachel Berry's, where Charice will show millions of geeks that she can out-sing the best of them.”

Below is the complete list of Billboard.com's Music's Hottest Minors

21. Sean Kingston 20. Cody Simpson 19. Nikki Yanofsky 18. New Boyz 17. Never Shout Never 16. Wonder Girls 15. Diggy Simmons 14. Miranda Cosgrove 13. Chris Colfer 12. Taylor Momsen 11. Lex Luger 10. Miley Cyrus 9. Greyson Chance 8. Demi Lovato 7. Willow Smith 6. Nick Jonas 5. Soulja Boy 4. Charice 3. Selena Gomez 2. Justin Bieber 1. Taylor Swift

Lyrics | Hale lyrics - Sandali Na Lang lyrics

Hale - Sandali Na Lang Lyrics

Sandali na lang
Konting panahon
Aking paghihintay
Na makasama ka
Sandali na lang
At abot tanaw
Ang pagkakataon
Na makita ka
Naiinip, nasasabik, kasing bilis
Nang isang iglap mahahanap
Sa may ulap
Nagtatanong, nagtataka
Bat wala ka pa
Nakatingala nakatulala
pero sabi mo
Sandali na lang
At nandito na
At ang panahon
Ay wala sa ating kamay
Huwag mag alala
Maraming oras pa
Ang nakalaan
Para sa ating dalawa

Music Monday - "Love Story" by Taylor Swift

For this week’s Music Monday, I am featuring the number one song in today’s MYX Daily Top Ten, Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”. I watched the song’s music video and it is based on the classic Romeo and Juliet. According to Wikipedia, the song has reached number 2 on iTunes Store Top Downloaded Songs and number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Fifteen weeks after being added to pop radio; it also became the first country crossover recording to hit number one on the Nielsen BDS CHR/Top 40 chart in the 16-year-history of list, as well as number one on the Mediabase Top 40 Chart.

The song is the lead single on Taylor Swift’s album “Fearless”.


Taylor Swift : Love Story Lyrics

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;

Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'"

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story - baby just say "Yes.'"

Oh.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,

And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in thy head? I don't know what to think-"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you...

Music Monday - Kaleidoscope World by Francis M

For this week’s Music Monday, I thought of featuring a song from the master rapper himself, Francis Magalona, as a tribute to his musical genius.

Francis M was considered to be a legend in the Philippine music industry. With the success of his earliest albums, he was the first Filipino rapper in the Philippines to cross over to the mainstream thus earning him his title as the "King of Pinoy Rap”. He also pioneered the merging of rap with Pinoy rock, which influenced other artists in the same genre.

A few days after Magalona’s death, Malacanang announced that Francis M will be posthumously awarded the National Medal of Merit, for his contributions in promoting patriotism through music.

Kaleidoscope World - Francis Magalona

Kaleidoscope World Lyrics

So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Music Monday - Five For Fighting - 100 Years

For today’s Music Monday, I will be featuring “100 years” by Five For Fighting. Not really a new song as it was released last 2004, but when I heard it again playing in the radio, I instantly fell in love with the song.

The song was part of the “The Battle for Everything” album of Five for Fighting which was released in 2004 and enjoyed chart success in the US. The album debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200 in February 2004.


For those who don’t know yet, Five for Fighting is the stage name of American singer-songwriter John Ondrasik. His 2000 album America Town went platinum in the U.S. mainly because of the success of the song "Superman (It's Not Easy)", which became a song of healing for America following the September 11 attacks in 2001.

100 Years - Five For Fighting

100 Years Lyrics

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Lyrics of "Your Universe" by Rico Blanco.

I am one of those who felt bad when Rico Blanco left his band Rivermaya, but found relief when he released his solo album after a couple of months or possibly a year of musical vacuum. Anyway, the long wait is worth it as Rico Blanco continues to impress us with his musical genius.

I personally love his song “Your Universe” which showcase Rico’s songwriting skills. The lyrics are superb. It also features former bandmate Nathan Azarcon (Rivermaya, Bamboo) on bass and Wendell Garcia (Barbie's Cradle, Pupil) on drums.

“Your Universe” lyrics

Tell me something
When the rain falls on your face
How do you quickly replace
It with
A golden summer smile?

Tell me something
When I'm feelin' tired and afraid
How do you know just what to say
To make
Everything alright?

Chorus:
I don't think that you even realize
The joy you make me feel when I'm inside
Your universe
You hold me like I'm the one who's precious
I hate to break it to you but it's just
The other way around
You can thank your stars all you want but
I'll always be the lucky one

Tell me something
When I'm 'bout to lose control
How do you patiently hold
My hand
And gently calm me down?

Tell me something
When you sing and when you laugh
Why do I always photograph
My heart
Flyin way above the clouds?

"Viva la Vida" has reached the top spot of the UK Singles Chart and Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's first number-one single, as well as their only Trans-Atlantic number-one.

Viva La Vida lyrics

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
