Unsigned talents Emerge with MTV

we strongly support Filipino talents and its great influence on the youth. great bands have emerged since our parents' time and their music still plays on the radio as well with good remakes sang by the contemporary artists of the modern generation. good thing that the new generation have also been supporting our artists despite the big influence of the western culture and even making them known to all corners of the earth where there's a Filipino.

also, we are also grateful that the international media are giving opportunities for the talents to show off the true Filipino blood of creativity and diversity of talents through special programs like MTV Emerge. it is a platform which showcases Filipino unsigned artists and give them a chance to give a shout-out to the world by winning a one-year contract with the newest record label, Jeepney Music, founded by Black Eyed Peas member, Apl D Ap.

this program is a collaboration of MTV, Jeepney Music, and Department of Tourism aiming for a great appreciation of true Filipino talent not only with western music like indie, rock, hip-hop, R&B, metal, solo artists, DJs, etc., but it is also an online community where members can upload, browse and vote for their favorite new artists. enlarge newsletter for more details.

i have listened to Answers by Midsummer and their music was kind of like a merge of Linkin Park and Paramore. so you can have that Twilight mode while listening to them. what's cool is, they're Filipino. i encourage you to support them and the other entries as well. you can also invite other inspiring musicians to join the contest.

2012 movie review

are you afraid of something? what if you have no choice but to less all things pass, would you save yourself or die helpless?

that's what i saw when i watched 2012. it all started on the belief of the Mayans which really wasn't much touched on the movie. it was like another continental drift unfortunately happened on a very specific date on 2012. the human race didn't really had much time but some powerful individuals manage to take on Darwin: the survival of the fittest.

unimaginable things suppose to happen on 2012. like massive earthquakes, tidal waves and disposition of the continents resulting to great property destruction and lives vanish in an instant. however, the Great 8 had been developing another Noah's Ark to save their races. poor China, their people have been used for the benefit of others but they almost didn't have a chance to save themselves.

doomsday scenes are scary. what if it really happens on 2012? what would you do to survive? the images are almost too realistic with the graphic enhancement. John Cusack also did well but i don't understand his role in the movie.

if you watch this movie, you will be holding tight to your seats.

THIS IS IT movie review

Michael Jackson never fails to entertain us. with his latest hit, not a song, but a rehearsal of his final concert tour, THIS IS IT, has become a worldwide phenomenon. everything was almost close to perfect and by the craft of Kenny Ortega, a documentation of the said concert helped everyone visualize the final outcome of the event.

Kenny Ortega on the set
it starts with Wanna Be Startin' Something for the opening and everyone will be chanting with the "ma-ma-se-ma-ma-sa-ma-ma-coo-sa." the rehearsals started on April 15th 2009 and songs have been lined up for the spectacular show. other songs included in the concert are: Jam, They Don't Care About Us -- where Michael and the dancers are in military mood. special effects are made to form a huge platoon; Human Nature; Smooth Criminal starts with a black and white movie prologue filled with action and nice visual effects.

ladies will be strutting their stuff as Micheal sings The Way You Make Me Feel and they would feel like a model. it was a feel-good moment for them.

a series of Jackson 5 songs takes the old but young-at-hearts back to memory lane with I Want You Back, I'll Be There and a couple of other songs from the Jacksons.

if you want to fall in love, Michael and a partner sings a sexy I Just Can't Stop Loving You.

getting dancy and jumpy, stand up and do the steps of Thriller and Beat It with the immortal dance moves. Thriller has a new approach this time. a very nice production of the ghouls would scare your party feet up on the dance floor.

Michael Jackson has also been known for his songs against racism and an advocate for environmental awareness with Black or White and Earth Song. a new rising star Ornithia plays the lead guitar in Black or White.

Billie Jean will give you the glimpse of the Moonwalk and the show ends with another social song, Man in the Mirror.

you can see that Michael Jackson is a very hands-on person and knows what he wants for a great show. you will have a front-row, first-hand experience of the King of Pop's creative genius, and an eye for perfection. all in all, a very Michael Jackson experience.
