Sugar High - Weekend (Official Music Video)
The power niche of the Philippines in world fandom is the teen demographics. Half of the Philippine population is below 23 years old & the physical phenotypes of our young actors are agreeable to the taste of much of the world so I decided that is the main thrust of my blog (over the general OPM trend hyping). I have
two teenager assistants who I rely to ferret out the interesting trends. I am now on my vacation but both were so insistent (or was it "excited"?) that
I publish this one: a group of "really cute young boys", two of which, Carlos Ysmael & Daniel Hubschka, can be "future James Reids".
Ok, I return to my vacation, I still have ten days...

Nikki Gil - When I Met You (Official Music Video with Lyrics)
It was a crash course on Pinoy showbiz in starting this blog. A friend asked how do I choose the videos: First, it has to be a nice song, worthy of a viral push. Second, the singer should look right. Unattractive singers with great voices are passe. Frankly, there are still many singers whose face you really won't waste 4 minutes watching (Really, why do they even bother? I still can't understand how they even got through). I can forgive videos with obviously cheap budgets as long as it doesn't come out looking cheap.
So if you're wondering why an artist with some name doesn't appear here, I most likely don't like the face even if he or she got the voice. Music videos are visual too, you know.
I've extended my vacation until after the Holy Week so we'll be irregular til then.

Title: Ulan / Rain / Lluvia
NOTE: I'm re-releasing this. I'll be on vacation for two weeks so the update will not be daily, it all depends on my "sober" time.

James Reid - Bonfire Love Song (LIVE, MAKING-OF VIDEO & MORE GIRL SCREAMS)
Surprisingly, I'm loving the Reid Alert album of James, and my favorites are Randomatic, 10 & this song. I hope they release a music video. Here's a live performance in a mall promo tour, but the problem with live shows of James, you may have a hard time figuring out the song out of the screams.
In that case,buy the album. It's really great. Here he is talking how it got made:

Frencheska Farr - Let My Fire Out
Nice song, I actually like the catchy melody, but the arrangement is boring, it doesn't take you to the groove. It needed more pizzazz, like the treatment applied to Sarah Geronimo's Kilometro would have been cool.

Autotelic - Misteryoso (Official Music Video)
Title: Misteryoso / Mysterious / Misterioso
I just discovered this group. I like their cool technopop sound, their album is actually a perfect antidote to harrased nerves during those maddening traffic bottlenecks of Manila.

Enrique Iglesias - Bailando (Español) ft. Descemer Bueno, Gente De Zona
Pinoy culture celebrates the mixing of cultures, being a "mestizo" is a plus, and this is significant because 10% of the Philippine population lives in 100 countries. It's amazing that this diaspora produced some of the biggest pop stars in the world. Enrique Iglesias, Bruno Mars, Nicole Scherzinger, Vanessa Hudgens, Apl.de ap of the Black Eyed Peas, etc., the Philippines sharing the biggest and most successful Asian contribution to world pop culture. I'll start featuring them in a new section called DIASPORA.
Enrique Iglesias is very vocal about his concern for the Philippines but do Filipinos know his song is one of the biggest current hits in the Latin world?

Moira Dela Torre - If You Tell Me You Love Me (Official Lyric Video)
Really, a great voice. Great voices are returning to OPM. Marion Aunor & Moira are a refreshing counterpoint to the "birit" divas.
