NIckelback

I find myself listening to Nickelback, and actually calming myself. Chad Kroeger really has a unique voice.

P!NK

I checked out some of P!NK's songs and found two favorites.

Each song's lyrics speaks for itself. 

The first song will make you think, and nod your head in agreement - if you do agree with her. In the end she mentioned "...you never walked with me". It is like facing reality that even if you have numerous opposing opinions towards the president you can't really tell it straight to his face. Probably do your part and be a better citizen if you want change. 

The second one, is actually a different kind of way to define love - but it's probably true. You know, those love hate relationships. I can't compare it based on my zero experience HAHA. But I'd appreciate it more if the 'hate' is similar to 'asaran' rather than 'hate' that is 'despise' haha. 

P!NK has other songs in which the lyrics are good, although it didn't count as my favorite since I don't like the tune and loud background, almost rock like. I'd rather have it Paramore way if you're going to talk about that kind of genre. 

OPM

In my opinion the music industry in the Philippines today is abominable. Most of my friends are into K-POP, or if not, they are into american artists.When I watch noontime shows, performers sing popular songs from the west, seldom do they sing Original Pinoy Music. If they do sing OPM, they sing songs that were produced way back. 

What's happening to OPM? 

The answer to my question probably just lies around the corner. Somewhere around YouTube  I clicked YouTube's music section, trying to find something new. On the suggested videos I found these:

Nasa Iyo Ang Lahat by Daniel Padilla

Mr. Kupido by Myrtle Sarrosa

Kahit Na by Toni Gonzaga

After listening to the songs, I actually liked them! I like the beat, the instrumentals, and their voices. The lyrics' meaning are not that deep but I don't mind. It is like, "puppy love" themed in my opinion. Nonetheless, I did enjoy listening to them it is something new. Hearing OPM once again and surprisingly liking them is something that I haven't done in YEARS. Like when I stepped out of high school, Pinoy Bands seemed to have been disbanded.

In terms of music videos, the first one -- I didn't like it. Doesn't show any emotion. The 2nd one, I liked it. Myrtle did well in interpreting the song. Toni's MV, I've seen it. I'm not a fan.

There's this other song by KZ Tandingan entitled "Scared to Death" I was a fan of her voice the first time I heard it. I'm not a person who listen to that kind of music genre, I probably would not listen to it again. However, I watched the video where the songwriter explained how he came up with the song, I gain an understanding and appreciated the feeling of the songwriter. It was perfectly interpreted by KZ in my opinion. The one thing that flunked it was the Music Video. Clearly the songwriter wrote it out of unrequited love but they made a video filled with caskets.

I don't know why they came up with that. I think they are interpreting the song as deep? I wonder if they listened to the songwriter.

The songwriter knows more feelings than Music Video interpreters. I guess they should have collaborated with him to be able to produce a video that will convey emotions together with the song -- not fly into another world with a great background music!

People won't get the meaning! I'm not good at interpreting words myself. I'm more of a visual person. I think explaining songs like this through videos are important.

Wew.
I just have to say that.
HAHAH

Well anyway.
All in all, great singers, great music, so-so videos...
"There's always room for improvement"

EXID - Every Night

I love the song, and the dance. In fact I want to learn it HAHA

I also like Miss A's song "I Don't Need A Man" but I think this has some spunk on it that you won't get bored easily. And I like the lead vocalists' voice (the one with a jacket on her waist) I like her voice.

Sungha Jung

I've always been a fan of this guy. Sungha Jung plays the guitar beautifully -- as most of the people say, his guitar sings. The first instrumental I heard from him was his cover to Beat It by Michael Jackson. It never fails me every time. Whenever I listen to his covers, it makes me enjoy the song times 2! Really. Perhaps even if he plays it through the guitar, he plays it with his heart, and we can hear that. I first fell in love with his music, then I fell in love with his face! He is good looking, good for him -- for sure he already won a lot of hearts for both aspects. I hope he continues to play the guitar and cover more songs. He was born for this. 

Watch his videos at youtube :D

Ailee

This is Ailee, a Korean singer. This is the first time I learned about her as I was listening at audio's in youtube. My first impression was, she looks pretty here, so I clicked the link. The song, I tell you, does not differ from how she looks. It is pretty good! The song is entitled "Heaven". The tune reminded me of Shontelle's music. I searched for other songs from her, but the rest were covers. I think this is her debut. I'm not sure. But for now, it's more than enough for me to loop over and over.

Hateful Person | Stand By Me

Artist: Beast

Title: Hateful Person (Big OST)

Artist: SHINee

Title: Stand By Me (Boys Over Flowers OST)

After hearing one of the OST of Big, I thought of SHINee's song right away, because it sounds kind of similar in some way (around the chorus part) So I looked up for it and I was surprised that it was Beast who sang it. Nevertheless, I still like both of the songs because of it's beat (don't know the meaning :)) )

When I listen to music

I got some time awhile ago to listen to music. I don't know any popular local song today, as in none. So I listened to korean songs instead. I searched 1 audio, and it just goes on as I click the suggested videos on the right side. Some of which are Breathe, Mama, History, and Trouble Maker. I really like the sound of K-pop ;D

I also listened to Disney songs. Just wow. The soundtracks were still epic and I can say that their music never fails to love them all over again. I can sing along to it as well! I liked singing along to disney songs XD Yea childhood hello

If I had an MP3 player, those are 3/4 of the songs I'd probably have. 

Truly to sing, that is a different breath

When you were young, what were you dreaming of?

For me, I don't really know what I want to do back then. I don't even know what my edge is. However, there are some people, gifted and talented, who doesn't need to search for the one thing they are passionate about :)

Connie Talbot and Greyson Chance are the two youngsters I admire. At the age of 11 and 14 respectively, they already gained the attention of people :D

I knew of Connie since she auditioned in Britain's Got Talent. She was so smalll there! I didn't know she would actually sing pop-rock kind of music such as Adele's Rolling in the Deep. I swore I'd be eyeing at her 'till her voice matures XD I'm betting that she'd sing all throughout her life ;D

As for Greyson, he started performing at his school and published his video of Paparazzi on youtube which gained millions of views. I thought it was another random kid trying to popularize himself, but noooo! He has something inside his throat that'll give you something like "whoaaa". And given his age, with that kind of mature voice - it's like one in a million, no doubt.

Those two kids

I can't help but admire them :)

They are lucky they have that talent.

I hope that they'll stay passionate on what they are doing until forever, so they can share wonderful music to this generation and the next :)

Their music shall live on - for eternity XD

Love them both! <3

Legend of the Guardians song, Owl City's To the sky

chase your dreams
and remember me
sweet bravery

cause after all those
wings will take you
up so high

so bid the forest floor
goodbye as you

race the wind and take to the
Sky..*

Shinee

Can't believe that these guys age ranges from 18-20 only.
They look matured.
Wow.
Can't believe it.

Love their song Lucifer :D
The first song I've heard from them XD

Oh and I found a cool fanart of Taemin.

Beast

The first song I heard from them was "Shock" and it wasn't the original one yet -- it was the 'misheard' lyrics version which really cracked me up. However, as I reviewed the original video and some live shows in YT, I started to appreciate their style and kind of music. The member that stands out for me is Yoseob -- not only his voice (he usually sings the chorus part of their songs) but the way he dances is undeniably beautiful :D Furthermore, they motivate me to dance :D

Cheers and thumbs up! I'm giving it up for BEAST.

Charice Pempengco

I started out not liking this artist. The reason is that she kept on singing high sentimental songs that were originated way back. I did not expect that she sings more beautifully when it is Pop. Now her new album is out -- what can I say, it's made outstandingly.

Each song that is included in that album have her personality shaped up; her voice's potential was awakened. The type of song really affects the singer -- even if people are good singers, if the song genre isn't for them, their talent is half wasted.

Good thing they were able to bring out the best of her.
Voice-wise, I guess she has one less hater ;D
