Presenting the BIG Macy Gray

I have always loved macy gray. I am usually a pop/rnb fan, I usually go for the teeny boppers. Kung meron man akong guilty pleasure, si Macy yun. Yes, I do not really resort to a lot of CD buying, not like my friend chuck (visit his BLOG here), pero mahilig naman akong mag download ng songs. So when I heard na she came out with a new album aptly entitled: BIG. Mejo natawa kasi ako dito kasi ang laki nya, I know ang babaw ko, and nung nalaman ko pa na the album was mostly produced by Will.I.Am of the BEP, so I am assuming na madaming hip-hop influences dto. Meron din siyang collaborations by Fergie and JT (his hotness), so I am now downloading the whole album. I checked out the reviews sa Rolling Stone, mejo hindi sila maganda, pero who needs reviews, as long as happy ka sa naririnig mo, KEBS.

I also read sa interview ng 411 online magazine na MAcy is aware of her Gay fanbase, which is darling, because she kinda looks like drag queen. Love u gurl.

Pinoy Pop Superstar: LISTEN--Kristel vs Charmaine

Charmaine Piamonte

_________________________________________________________________


Kristel Astor

I chose vids when they were both singing the same song: Listen--by Beyonce. Ok na song to to compare them, kasi medyo mataas, kaya may birit factor, tsaka me showmanship factor na din. And I just would like to say that I took this vids myself. I didn't just get them from some random clip sa YouTube. Kaya I don't want any crap from people na I chose vids na pangit kumanta ang isa and na I am biased.

Lets just go through some of the technicals: Yung vid ni Charmaine was taken sa Inno Bar sa me Mother Ignacia(?). This was during yung mga sets ng friend ko na si Chamyto and Mavey. This was a Tuesday ata. They just invited Charmaine up to JAM with them and she happily obliged. Yung ke Kristel naman was taken sa Ipanema Bar, Eastwood City. Set naman ito nila Charmaine and Michael(PPS din), and they invited Kristel to jam with them onstage. And may I just add na nung kumanta nga din pala si Charmaine ng Listen sa INNO, nandun din si Kristel. Hmm.. chismax...Yun ang circumstances ng mga pagkanta nila.

Here goes. sa aking mga naririnig, meron daw talgang namamagitang rivalry between them (na they don't even know?) Hindi ko din maisip bakit kailangan nilang kantahin yung pieces ng isa't isa. Kasi, malamang alam na nila yung mga standard pieces nila, and they are after all from the same TV station. Pero when I see them you can really feel na may tension sa kanilang dalawa, to the point na parang naiilang na sila sa isa't isa. Eto ay opinion ko lang naman. If you ask me: In a nutshell, I like CHARMAINE's version of listen better. Iba yung hagod niya, tsaka, pag kumakanta si Charmaine, hindi niya pinapababaan yung key and from expert opinion(somebody who studied music), sinabi sa kin na binabaan daw yung key ni Kristel sa vid na ito. Iba magperform si Charmaine, may puso(pun intended), and pag kumakanta siya I really get goosebumps.

Brrrrr...

Oh, Beyonce, Beyonce
Oh, Shakira, Shakira (Hey)

He said, I'm worth it, his one desire
I know things about him that you wouldn't

He kissed me, his one and only
(Yes) Beautiful Liar
Tell me how you tolerate the things you
Just found out about
You never know
Why are we the ones who suffer
I Have to let go
He won't be the one to cry

(Ay) Lets not kill the Karma
(Ay) Lets not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a Beautiful Liar

(Oh) Can't we laugh about it (ha ha)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) we can live without him
Just a Beautiful Liar

I trusted him
but when i followed you
I saw you together
I didn't know about you then till I saw you with him when, yea
I walked in on your love scene
slow dancing
You stole everything
How can you say I did you wrong

We'll never know

When the pain and heartbreaks over
I have to let go
The innocence is gone

(Ay) Let's not kill the Karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a Beautiful Liar

(Oh) Can't we laugh about it (ha ha)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without him
Just a beautiful liar

Tell me how to forgive you,(ooo)
When its me who's ashamed? (oh)
And I wish I could free you
of the hurt and the pain
but the answer is simple
he's the one to blame(hey)
