Glee Song Of The Week: I Say A Little Prayer

In Season 1 Episode 2 of Glee (Showmance), there is one song that I love to hear over and over again. This is the song "I Say A Little Prayer" performed by Quinn, Santana and Brittany. The original version was from Dionne Warwick and was released in October 1967.

They used the song when they auditioned for the Glee Club. Because they were cheerleaders and they have the moves, Will allowed them to be part of the the group. The blending of the voices were great. It really sounded pleasant to the ears. Maybe those are the reasons why I love to listen to their version. Here is the video and the lyrics:

I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER

Quinn, Santana & Brittany

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup

I say a little pray for you

While combing my hair now,

And wondering what dress to wear now,

I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart

and I will love you

Forever, and ever, we never will part

Oh, how I love you

Together, forever, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only meen heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,

While riding I think of us, dear,

I say a little prayer for you.

At work I just take time

And all through my coffee break-time,

I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart

and I will love you

Forever, and ever we never will part

Oh, how I'll love you

Together, forever, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me.

Music Zone: Top 10 Videoke Songs

One of the attractions of bars and restaurants nowadays are videoke machines. They allow people to sing their favorite songs with lyrics for just five pesos. I must admit, I'm a videoke fanatic. I enjoy staying in places where there is a videoke machine whether be a drinking session or just eating out with friends. With this machine, people can express what they feel through the songs they enter. There are people who amazes other people with their high notes and beautiful voices. If there are two microphones, two people can perform a duet (that is, of the place can afford to have two mics). I even experience having a showdown with other singers and it was exciting because you have the motivation to outperform them and pick the best songs that you can sing. I just noticed though, there are songs that are being sang over and over again, as if it was sung for the first time. Most of these songs may either be a classic, ballad or just to have fun. So today on Music Zone, I will present the Top 10 Videoke Songs that are being murdered in bars and restaurants:

10. Carrie - released in 1987 by the group Europe. This is usually sang by old men who are already drunk.

9. I Will Survive - is the first song performed by Gloria Gaynor in 1978. The message of this song is about moving on. The rhythm of this song makes videoke lovers go gaga over it.

8. Dancing Queen - originally performed by the group Abba in 1976. Many artists also made a cover of the song like A-Teens in 2000, the Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez, and recently, the Glee Cast in episode Prom Queen of Glee Season 2.

7. Just Once - James Ingram sang this song in 1981. Jaya had her own cover of the song in 2007. I still remember I used to sing this song when I was younger (just sharing...).

6. Total Eclipse Of The Heart - a song from Bonnie Tyler in 1983 and her biggest hit. This song

5. Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - originally performed by Starship in 1987. In videoke bars, this is usually sung by two persons, unless one person can sing the male and female parts. MYMP also covered this song.

4. Alone - a Heart's original in 1983 which was covered by Celine Dion in 2008.

3. Build Me Up Buttercup - released in 1968 by The Foundation. I must say that most of the groups set this as their last song and just party all the way.

2. Crazy For You - one of Madonna's hit in 1985. I always here this song in all of my videoke sessions. This is also one of the most requested songs for bands.

1. My Way - this song was popularized by Frank Sinatra. There is a bad connotation about this song, that whoever sings it dies after. Well, I don't believe it but just to be on the safe side, I don't sing it as well... hahaha!!! =)

So, is your favorite videoke song on the list??? This list is ranked based on my observation when I sing in videoke bars.

Attack Of The Gleeks: Song Of The Week: Don't Stop Believin'

From season 1 of Glee, they already amazed me with how they do cover songs from different artists. For today's Attack Of The Gleeks segment, our featured song is "Don't Stop Believin'".

The song was originally performed by the band Journey and it was released in 1981. Journey's version ranked number 9 in the Billboard 100. The Glee Cast did their own cover for their show and when it was released, it ranked number 4 in the Billboard 100. From then on, it was one of the carrier songs of Glee on its commercials and publicities. They even included this song as part of their performance in the last episode of Glee Season 2 entitled "The Journey To Regionals".

Here is the video the first time they performed it:

This song can be an inspiration to all, so in everything we do, DON'T STOP BELIEVING!!! =)

Music Zone: The Power Of Madonna

Yesterday in our shift while it is still avail time, my friend played songs in her mobile phone from Madonna. I got carried away so we sing along with her hits. because of that, today on Music Zone, I'm going to feature the Queen Of Pop... Madonna.

Singer, Dancer, Performer, Legend, Icon, Material Girl and Influential. Those are some of the descriptions given to her. Her career started in 1982, until most of her songs topped Billboard 100, eventually she was hailed as Queen Of Pop . One of her noted concert acts was when she wore a cone bra and performed Like A Virgin. She is one artist who can reinvent herself to cater to different types of listeners.

The U.S. TV hit show Glee also featured some of her songs in episode 15 of its first season as a tribute to her contribution to the music industry.

MY TOP FIVE MADONNA SONGS:

5. CRAZY FOR YOU (1985)

4. PAPA DON'T PREACH (1986)

3. MATERIAL GIRL (1985)

2. VOGUE (1990)

1. LIKE A PRAYER (1990)

Indeed, she has countless hits and it she still, no one compares to her.

Francine's Fire Soul: MissG's Elite Style Of Eating Shanghai: Revisited

MissG is one of my friends whom I met in TeleTech Bacoor. His real name is Giovanni Miniano. He is really funny and able to crack jokes whenever and wherever. But this blog is not just about him, yes a part of him maybe.

While scanning my photos and videos in Facebook, I noticed this video I posted a year ago when we were still together in training in 24/7. The video was shot in Dencio's in Makati. Together with us were Ned Juan, Jhaecii Fajardo and Glen Batinga. I was the one who shot the video while the others are giving instructions to him until suddenly, he took in a whole shanghai roll. Here is the video:

This is really funny and everytime I see this video, I can't help but laugh out loud!!!

Music Zone: Goodbye Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse is now the top trending topic in Twitter. Not because she has a new song or concert, but because she already died. It was reported that the cause of her death is suspected drug overdose. She died last July 23, 2011. Her most noted song for me was Back To Black which she released in 2006. This song was also covered by Glee in their season 2 series. Here is the video:

Goodbye Amy and thank you for your music... =|

Couch Potato Madness: Glee in 3D

I'm sooooo excited and will definitely watch this! So, to all the Gleeks out there and those who appreciate their music... This is for all of us!!!

Remember guys, August 12 of this year, the Gleeks will attack!!! =)

Couch Potato Madness: The End Of Harry Potter Saga: A Review

Just got home from watching Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2. I watched it together with my workmate Karen Dar Juan. Imagine, it was expensive because I watched it in Glorietta. I travelled from Cavite all the way to Makati just to watch this. Good thing, the movie never failed me.

PLUS POINTS OF THE MOVIE:

- The special effects were great. it seems that the production staff really put their best foot forward for this film.

- There are funny scenes and reactions from the cast which made all of us inside the cinema laughed.

- The revelation of the past events was executed in a good way.

- The magic spells are awesome!

- Harry's body is so hot, hot, hot!

- The son of Harry Potter was good looking.

DELTA POINTS OF THE MOVIE:

- There is only one, I just noticed that Harry's scar is at the left side of his forehead, however, the scar on  baby Harry's forehead is located at the right portion. This is kinda misleading.

Over-all, I give this movie 5 stars still because of the special effects and the humor it brought to its audience.

I'm just thinking, now that Harry Potter Saga has ended, what will happen to Daniel Radcliffe? Will he be stuck in the persona of Harry Potter forever or will he be accepting another role to introduce another fictional character? Will the Harry Potter craze ends after this? Anyways, one thing for sure, Harry Potter will live forever and will always be remembered. Thanks Daniel Radcliffe for bringing Hogwarts and the world of wizardry in our hearts for a decade. Kudos, great job for portraying Harry Potter!

Music Zone: New Youtube Star: Marcelito Pomoy

He is the talk of the town nowadays. Almost everywhere, I always hear people talk about him and his talent. We first saw him in Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2. A man who sang a female song and eventually became the winner of the said contest. I'm talking about Marcelito Pomoy.

Marcelito Pomoy resides in Imus, Cavite who tried his luck with Pilipinas Got Talent in its second season. His audition piece was "Narito Ako" originally performed by Regine Velasquez. The judges and the crowd at the audition site were all amazed with Marcelito's voice range. That video made several hits and currently, it has 2, 230, 931 hits in Youtube to date. Here is the video:

In the Grand Finals, he sang and used both male and female voices for the song "The Prayer" by Celine Dion and Andrea Boccelli. At the end of the show, he was hailed champion. Here is his performance:

Last Sunday in ASAP Rocks, Marcelito performed together with the other singing champs like Angeline Quinto, Jovit Baldovino and Yeng Constantino. He amazed not only the audience but including me when he sang "What Kind Of Fool I Am" by Regine Velasquez. It really sounded how the Asia's Songbird delivered it. Here is the video:

Congratulations Marcelito Pomoy! Thank you for bringing glory to our province in Cavite!

Francine's Fire Soul: My 100TH Tweet

 

I started using Twitter just last month out for curiosity. I have other Tweeter accounts using different email addresses and usernames but I decided to use the username its_me_francine and entered the Tweetverse. The first tweets I had were quotes, eventually, I find myself following celebrities, groups and even friends. I still remember, the first person who became my follower is _eychan17_ which is one of my classmates way back in high school. Currently, I have 112 tweets to date, 40 accounts following and 16 followers.

Imagine, just by tweeting when I have time, I never expected that I would reached my 100th tweet addressed to @NicoleHyala. I was listening to Tambalan segment on the radio when I tweet this as a response to the topic that they were discussing yesterday. Below is the screenshot.

I'm starting to love Twitter and the Tweetverse. Follow me with my username its_me_francine and let's share tweets.

Childhood Nostalgia: Modern Sherlock Holmes: Detective Conan

 

Today, GMA 7 brought back Detective Conan in its morning block so I decided to feature it in Childhood Nostalgia. It is one of the anime shows that amazes me until now. It is because, here a man turned child is able to resolve impossible cases.

This is the story of Jimmy Kudo, also known as Shinichi Kudo. He is an intelligent high school detective who turned into a a seven year old child after he was forced to take a drug by a member of a mysterious secret crime organization. Because he wants to know these people, he changed his name to Conan Edogawa. From then on, he continued to resolve cases in his own way. He was given gadgets b his friend, Dr. Hershel Agasa. Everytime he is going to squill out the criminal, he would always someone mostly, Mr. Kogoro Mori and he turns him into a sleeping detective to tell the story of what really happened.

For this show, I must say that the reason I got hooked up is because I really like mystery shows. It also teaches the value of friendship and critical thinking.

Francine's Fire Soul: WHAT AND IF'S

 

How would we know if your feelings towards another person is real? How can we say that our feelings is on the next level? These are the questions that run in my mind and my heart as of the moment.

At this point, I'm not sure if I'm just attracted, infatuated or really in love with this person. I've known this guy for quite a while and I must say, eventhough he is not chinito which is my weakness, his eyes are charming and everytime he looks at me, its like a magnet and it seems that he wants to say something. We each other because of a common friend, his bestfriend (I'd rather not name her...). He always tell me... "Ngayon lang ulit ako tumawa ng ganito dahil sa'yo..." when I crack jokes. I just reply "Clown ba ako???". He would always laugh at my jokes. Yet this person is a bit insensitive or he is just a silent type of person, I think. His answers are always on the safe side everytime I ask him questions. Sometimes, I would think of slapping him in his face to give me straight answers.

I would admit I'm happy everytime I see him. I'm happy when he laughs at my jokes. As much as possible, I don't want to expect because I don't want to get hurt if I admit my feelings to him. I don't want to have assumptions again just like the previous guy that I liked. However, there are additional questions that needs to be address. "What if I take the risk of telling him what I feel?", "What if he can reciprocate my feelings?", "What if our friendship breaks?", "What if I loose another friend?". Yeah, "WHAT" and "IF"... two simple words but too complicated to answer.

Couch Potato Madness: Tranformers: Dark Of The Moon: A Review

I know it's a bit late for this review, I'm just busy with other things.

The Autobots and the Decepticons came back to the movie scene with the third sequel of Transformers series with Dark Of The Moon.

This movie, I must say includes almost everything, drama, comedy, suspense, history, and most of all... ACTION! I loved all the scenes, especially the robots that were featured. The scenes are breath-taking. It seems real as you watch it. The performances of the main casts Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were awesome as well. I'm just thinking that now that Megatron was killed, if there will be another installment for this movie.

For this movie, I would rate it Five Stars. There is no dull moment in this movie. It exceeded my expectations and gave a wow factor to its viewers!

Couch Potato Madness: Green Lantern: A Movie Review

Yesterday, since it was my vacation leave from work, I decided to watch Green Lantern at SM Dasmariñas. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

This is the story of Hal Jordan who was chosen by the ring first worn by Abin Sur, a member of the Guardians Of The Universe who died after escaping from Parallax, the main antagonist of the film. The theme of the movie is conquering one's fear. It was stated that the ring becomes stronger if the person wearing it has a strong will.

I was a bit fascinated with the trailer when I first saw the entire movie, I realized that it was just like the other movies I've seen recently, it did not exceed my expectations. The first part was boring and honestly, I almost feel asleep. Although, there are funny moments that is not enough to suffice what I've been looking for in a film. I just regained the interest to continue watching it in the middle part. Over-all, if I would rate the film just like the others, I would give it 3 stars because there is no wow factor.

Attack Of The Gleeks: Character Of The Week: Brittany Pierce

I know it's weeks since I haven't posted anything about Glee. Let's get back to business. So here it is, our Glee character of the week is Brittany Pierce.

 

The role is being played by Heather Morris. She was introduced as a ember of the Cherrios, a noted cheerleading squad in McKinley under the supervision of Sue Sylvester. She has recurring role during firstb season but in season 2, she was promoted as a regular cast.

She is good at dancing but most of the time, her lines are nonesense. Her first appearance was in season 1 episode 2 "Showmance" when she perform "I Say A Little Prayer" together with Quinn and Santana, but it was in season 2 episode 2 "Britney/Brittany" where she made her debut performance with the song "I'm A Slave 4 U" from Britney Spears. She led the performance of New Directions in the song "Tik-Tock" by Ke$ha where she threw-up because of alcohol.

In season 2, she became romantically involved with Artie, also one of the Glee club members but it was revealed in episode 15 "Sexy" that she is being admired and loved by Santana.

She is really great at dancing and that is her strength. I really want to see more of Brittany in the upcoming seasons.

Music Zone: OPM Artist Of The Week: Angeline Quinto

When I logged in to Facebook today, the first status message I saw that caught my attention was a video post of my friend Thomas Ynan showcasing the performance of Angeline Quinto of the song I'll Never Say Goodbye. I'm hearing a lot of good feedback with this girl, so she is our featured OPM artist for today.

Angeline Quinto is the grand winner of Star Power: The Search For the Next Female Popstar in ABS-CBN hosted by Sharon Cuneta. She is from Sampaloc, Manila. The first time I saw her perform was in ASAP Rocks last Sunday with the song "Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin". After I watch the entire video, I was amazed by her vocal range. Damn, she's really good, In addition to that, she also resembles the Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez. Is this just coincidence or is she really the next Regine Velasquez?

Because she is a rising star, intrigues always hunts her. There are reports where she has attitude problems after winning the said contest. She is always being compared to the Pop Princess Sarah Geronimo. People requests that the two must have a showdown. But Sarah said she is not comfortable doing it because she admitted, she is not a "biritera" just like Angeline. Well, that's one of the fruits of being famous... INTRIGUES...

Here are some of her performances:

I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING

BUKAS NA LANG KITA MAMAHALIN

I hope that once Regine Velasquez comes back after giving birth to her baby, they can have a concert together, and I'm gonna watch out for that.

Childhood Nostalgia: Gotta Catch Em'All, Pokemon!

Since it's my first time to have a Tuesday restday in our account, I woke up early today and check what shows are featured in the morning, I came across with Pokemon which is one of the anime' characters that I adore. So, I decided to feature them today on Childhood Nostalgia.

Pokemon is the shortened name for "Pocket Monsters". This program talks about courage, friendship and being strong for any struggles in order for us to achieve our goals.

This is the story of Ash, an ordinary kid who wish to become the "Greatest Pokemon Master". He started his quest for his dream in Pallet Town where he got his first ever Pokemon named "Pikachu" which is also the best known Pokemon in the world. If they Together, they faced different types of pokemon, challenges and trainers as they visit gyms. The main goal is to defeat the Gym Trainer so that one can obtain a badge which will be needed in the Pokemon League Battle. They also encountered friends along the way.

Trainers in this show also need to collect as many Pokemon as they can. They need to train these creatures to prepare them for battle. As the pokemon battles other types and if they win, they level up and become stronger. This anime has a tag line "Gotta Catch Em'All!".

Pokemon is not only in anime series but in video games. They come in different versions. They started to release the first generation versions and these include Yellow, Blue, Green and Red versions. The featured pokemons here were Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander respectively. They also came up with other versions and for other versions, there are other pokemons that you can use for your quest.

Why do I find them the cute? I really like the way they were drawn and brought to life. My personal favorite would be Squirtle, a water-type pokemon. I also like the plot of the story which is never giving up through trials and obstacles. I also play the game quest of all versions from the old to the current ones in my personal computer and everytime I'm into it, I feel that I'm also doing the quest. Now, who is your favorite Pokemon?

Couch Potato Madness: In The Name Of Love: Review

I'm in SM Dasmariñas yesterday only with the intention of buying things I need for everyday use like toiletries and some stuff. Since I finished early, I checked the films that are being shown in the cinemas. I found "In The Name Of Love" starring Jake Cuenca, Angel Locsin and Aga Muhlach. I heard a lot of positive feedback and reviews about this movie so I decided to enter the cinema and watch to confirm if the reviews are indeed true.

At first, I was thinking why this movie was entitled "In The Name Of Love" but at the latter part I finally understood it. The concept of the story revolved around dance, which kinda reminds me of the old movie Dirty Dancing. The moves are sensual. Kudos to Angel for doing a great job of performing pole dancing. Although she mentioned in some interviews that this is one scene that she had struggle doing, I must say that she did pretty fine. Aga's scenes and facial expressions only proves why he is one of the best in the land. Jake's performance cannot be denied as well. He did not let himself be overshadowed by the Angel and Aga.

Scenes that I liked:

-Cedes' (Angel) pole dancing.

-When Cedes is still staking on Eman (Aga) in Japan.

-When Cedes and Eman became lovers and they had quality time together.

-When Eman is auditioning as dance intructor for the Governor's Ball.

-When Eman saved the shot intended for Cedes at the Governor's Ball.

Scenes that I liked the least:

-The flashbacks are kinda confusing, although it helped me a lot understand the entire film.

-The ending, this scene seems to be flat!

If I will be given a chance to rate this movie 5 stars being the highest, my rating would be 4 stars. There are still room for improvements for this but over-all, the movie is good.

Music Zone: Song Of The Day: Mama By Spice Girls

It's Mother's Day! Did you greet your moms on this day? Since we are celebrating their greatness today, I've decided to feature the best song for them today on Music Zone. This song was sung by the most famous girl group of all time, The Spice Girls. The lyrics of this song will make you understand how caring, understandable and protective our moms are. This song is "Mama". Here is the video and the lyrics:

MAMA By Spice Girls

She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free

Catching me in places that I knew I should'nt be

Every other day I crossed the line I didn't mean to be so bad

I never thought you would become the friend I never had

Back then I didn't know why

Why you were misunderstood

So now I see through your eyes

All that you did was love

Mama I love you.Mama I care

Mama I love you . Mama my friend. You're my friend

I didn't want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now

Every little thing you said and did was right for me

I had a lot of to think about,about the way I usedto be

Never had a sense of my responsibility

Back then I didn't know why

Why you were misunderstood

So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love

Mama, I love you. Mama, I care

Mama, I love you. Mama ,my friend. You're my friend

But now I'm sure I know why,

Why you were misunderstood

So now I see through your eyes

All I can give you is love is love

Mama I love you. Mama, I care

Mama, I love you. Mama, my friend,You're my friend

Mama, I love you, Mama ,I care

Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend, You're my friend

HAPPY MOTHER'S TO ALL THE MOMS IN THE WORLD!!! =)
