From BIG 3 to UGLIEST IN THE WORLD 3, from Cute to Nakakatakyut?: Naku, Suddenly we have some of the ugliest teen idols in the world...fortunately, the Original cute team, JADINE, is still cute in their new film "Never Not Love You" LOL

Kinda hilarious but true. After a brief interlude with some cute ones, we suddenly have the ugliest new teen idols in the world. Nothing we can do about  endemic Pinoy bumbling. At a time when newfound fans from many areas of the world have started to invade  Pinoy showbiz blogosphere, some ignoramus just had to put out repulsive scarecrows as teen idols.

Thankfully, as many readers here have  pointed out, the Koreans are still ugly like always despite repeated plastic surgery, so we finally achieved parity, double-hilarity in Asia LOL.(Though, we appear to be the more stupid because we are the ones who voluntarily downgrade while they fake everything to mask the reality of their faces, albeit to no avail).

 The flash that the cute Big 3 Pinoy teen loveteams (Jadine of James Reid & Nadine Lustre; Kathniel of Kathryn Bernardo & Daniel Padilla; Lizquen of Liza Soberano & Enrique Gil) unexpectedly created  internationally in the past two years has definitely peaked & is on the wane. The next wave is too unappealing to bother with. There goes likewise a big part of my interest in  Pinoy showbiz. I was never too keen with the domestic one anyway.  I was mostly interested on whatever ripples it generated abroad. Probably it was because of my love for languages & travel. I could make use of my capacity to zero in on local discourses in many areas of the globe. It was fun while it lasted.

But the Big 3 are maturing & the mostly unappealing next batches of Pinoy teen loveteams unsurprisingly rebuffed everybody right away so the bandwagon created earlier was just as soon scuttled. Typical Pinoy backwater story, there was simply too much ignorance & mediocrity. A brief sashay into international limelight indeed which for a moment enchanted the  ephebophile eyes who loved to swarm into this blog.

When I say "limelight", I don't mean about the "fake fame" generated by media companies which rely on contrived propaganda to create status for their products. I was more interested in what one of our readers who knew his languages  (so he could invade troll-free discourses anywhere in the world) as "spontaneous", the initial crest of recognition which were first detected in international blogosphere  before the propaganda troll swarms even took notice  (in fact, the local ones mostly discovered it from this blog). Definitely, not the troll-based  fake fandom which the South Koreans, the Western showbiz capitalists  & their local copycats pretend to excel at, or we won't have bothered to blog about them (we already know all the gimmicks, don't we?).

Among the original Big 3, the first to falter  domestically was Jadine but ironically, it is  still the one with the biggest footprint internationally. It should be remembered that Jadine was the first to attract the attention of captive fans of Asiatic film pirate sites  (which turned out to be South Korean propaganda sites) which led to the discovery of the other Pinoy teen loveteams (Kathniel & Lizquen) by international fans. While the last two grew in stature domestically,  Jadine sort of stumbled along the way. But outside the country, Jadine is still the leading Pinoy young loveteam whose films, mv's & teleserye (OTWOL) shine the brightest.

To be sure, we never produced loveteams as popular as the Big 3. The other successful one, Kristine Hermosa & Jericho Rosales, never came close in their geographical footprint. Neither did the Marian Rivera-Dingdong Dantes tandem.

Jadine has a new film . Though I'm still not content with whatever procedure has been done to improve Nadine's face in the past idle year (for instance, the nose, people! a friend described it so: James has a perfect nose profile so when they pose nose to nose, the premature slope of the tip of Nadine's nose becomes magnified, she has this look of "as if smelling something stinky". Well, take that as constructive investment into the country's top international young loveteam).

I love this song. It was a revival of a Sugarfree song, & I don't think that's an issue though it is in some of the past comments in this blog ( the usual orig vs. revival noise). As long as a song is beautiful, especially one which didn't really become a gigantic hit the first time, giving it second life might finally give it the total recognition it deserves.


Jadine- Prom
