After the semi-successful launch of the first single of American Idol Season 11 runner-up, people kept wondering what shall be the follow-up single on her first album launched in April/May of this year.
If the management of Jessica Sanchez would be able to read this post, I hope that the next single to be released in her Me, You & the Music album would be the reggae-like tune mixed with a whisk of dance-pop and R&B beats entitled Don’t Come Around.
If this track would be produced with very good music video, I believe this would be a potential big hit. The beat is infectious, the type that would basically grow in you. This would be aside from the song’s tough and unapologetic message which would add some color to the somewhat bland and pa-twitams (nauseatingly cute) image of Jessica Sanchez.
Let me share this little golden nugget of a music.
I am happy that the music video of Dami Im has just been released today. After watching the whole super nice video, the only thing that dawned on me is that Dami Im could possibly be the next fashion icon of this planet.
Dami has never been afraid to try new things to wear. What is so impressive about her and her team of stylists (if ever she has one) are the various ornaments, hats, embellishments and head pieces she has worn and showed off. Those stuffs were simply fresh, unique, chic and fashionable.
HRH Queen Elizabeth is too old while Lady Gaga looks too tired and worn out. The freshly released video of Dami Im’s Alive simply seals her as the new Queen of Modern Headdress. Those headdresses can truly trigger a different kind of fashion buzz…
World peace, good health for Nengkoy and the return of genuine happy smiles from all people severely affected by super typhoon Haiyan are my unselfish wishes for my upcoming birthday.
In terms of worldly materialistic birthday wishes, aside from ten million bucks, the following easy on the pocket tangibles would definitely make my birthday settle in high spirits:
a Book…
i’m pretty sure this autobiography would be an interesting read
a CD…
with or without autograph, i would looove to have this
and an MP3 Player …
i prefer the yellow color… its as small as a five peso coin. this would be nice to carry in my pocket while on a thread mill
Wans a yir lang ang bertday! Kaya damihan na ang wishes…
It has been quite disappointing to know that the line-up of nominees in this year’s YouTube Music Awards (YTMA) Artist Of The Year were nothing but a product of strong marketing campaign.
The award says “artist” but the line-up of nominees seem out of place. Yeah, they had the greatest number of views and likes in their respective videos but that does not mean they are the greatest artist this year. I would be more convinced if any one of these nominees were lined up in the category of YTMA Popular Celebrity of the Year.
For me, YouTube’s coming up with bunch of awards to give out has been a total mess. It’s nothing but a cringe-worthy crusade. YouTube is YouTube. It’s a totally huge, massive and colossal virtual world of videos representing every walks of human life. With the enormous amount of artistic videos uploaded daily around the planet, you can’t just select and trim down in just ten so-called worthy celebrities who are products of western pop marketing campaigns.
One pop group or a celebrity cannot in any way represent the great impetus of YouTube. YouTube coming up with these nasty awards is only making itself cheap and annoying. YouTube should realize the social impact that they’ve done and continuously doing and not just a mere portal of pop music and their celebrities.
Melinda Doolittle, David Archuleta and Jessica Sanchez of American Idol, Ella Henderson of X Factor (UK), Marco Germar of So You Think You Can Dance (U.S.) and most recently Morisette Amon of The Voice (Philippines) were the awesome talents I personally rooted for in their respective contest seasons in the past. Click the name of these talents to read my posts about them for me to prove my point. I can’t seem to remember when was the last time that my chosen contender won the contest he or she is competing on TV.
Strangely, despite their breathtaking performances, no one among these brilliant and gifted contestants did won in their respective talent contests. They were beaten by other competitors as oddly voted by their respective country’s viewers. Honestly, I’d rather observe a grass growing than listen or watch these so called winners perform.
lady gaga, katy perry and rihanna has yet to perform a number as amazing as this…
Anyway, it seems that it was not America, nor the UK, nor the Philippines talent contests that has the right sagacity and discernment for what a true talent really means. Surprisingly, Australia does have the right vibe, groove and keenness on this matter. I am saying this because just tonight, Australia has voted and honored Dami Im to be this year’s X Factor (Australia) WINNER!!!
I was slightly freaked out when the host announced who this year’s winner was. I was clapping and cheering when Dami Im’s name was called. All I can say is that endearing Australia got it right in the pocket… Aussies know what exceptional talent is…
Here’s the spectacular and one-of-a-kind final number of Dami Im singing Purple Rain…
I told myself that I would only write about Dami Im when she has been proclaimed the winner of X Factor Australia this year. But with the amazing talent that Dami Im has just shown in the grand finals night tonight, I could not contain myself to not write about it anymore.
Being a self-proclaimed member of the Dami Army let this blog be a portal for dear Australia to know that one world class talent and superstar is in the person of Dami Im. It would be a crime if she won’t win the X Factor Australia 2013.
So to dear Australia, I hope you vote for Dami Im!!! Here’s her last performance that would surely seal the deal. This video I suppose also contains the best judges’ ovation of any talent show in the world.
Winner or not, I will definitely miss her when the show ends…

Poetic genius, that’s how I would simply describe this song. Though not a new song, this track has actually been the music I kept on playing and listening to inside my bathroom every morning while I take a bath for the past two weeks. I would even sing along loudly, as in at the top of my horrible out-of-tune voice.
I don’t know why I am so stuck and fascinated by its catchy beat. Or maybe it’s the lyrics of the song that kept me captivated. It tells you about overcoming the hideous parts of life and finding a greater meaning of it. It proclaims that sometimes taking risks in life are doorways to the best moments of your existence. The ones you were meant to experience and live to see.
Or maybe the reason why I so like this song is because of my internal desire for an insane precursor that something big is coming. Because, instead of counting dollars I’d soon be counting stars!
The ladies that I am rooting for in their respective singing battles… Dami Im of X Factor Austalia and Morisette Amon of The Voice Philippines. Both are gems. Their passions are incredible. And are definitely show stoppers…
These girls are on fire!!! Their performances every week are stunning!!!
I know there’s a lot of going on in the world and despite this I waste a significant amount of life on YouTube. And on YouTube is where I discovered Ed Sheeran along with his beautiful song entitled Lego House…
Though showed-up and only seen at 3:30 in the video, Ed Sheeran for me is far too beautiful. Like far, like damn far!
Last year, there was a big mistake that the Chinese populace made. They failed to choose Ping An as their last year’s winner of “The Voice China”. They settled for a singer with mediocre vocal skills with above average panache. It was like China settled for a grape juice when an expensive wine is very much available.
Watch and listen to China’s best singer and experience goosebumps surplus from Ping An.
