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:
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.
Last week, if I can remember, I've featured boy bands that made it in industry of the 90's. This time, on Music Zone, it's the girls turn. Presenting, my top girl groups of all time. Get ready as they shake their booties, be enticed with their charm and get to know the real meaning of GIRL POWER!
All Saints - a British/Canadian group consist of four ladies, namely, Melanie Blatt, Shaznay Lewis, and the sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton. Their best song for me is "Never Ever".
Pussycat Dolls - an American female group led by Nicole Scherzinger together with Melody Thornton, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta and Kimberly Wyatt. Nicole has a Filipino blood that is why this group was loved in the Philippines. They are very well known when it comes to their singing, sexy and amazing dance moves. Their best hit was 'When I Grow Up".
TLC - an RnB and pop female group consists of Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and Crystal Jones. I like their song "No Scrubs".
Destiny's Child - debuted in 1997. Originally, they were four in the group however, one left and the group still continue to manage to entertain audience with their singing and dancing capabilities. Led by Beyonce Knowles, the other two members were Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. I'm so thrilled everytime I hear their song "Emotions".
Spice Girls - the best girl group for me. They are the best selling girl group of all time and made the words "GIRL POWER" a craze. The group is composed of Melanie C. (Sporty Spice), Melanie B. (Scary Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) and Emma Bunton (Baby Spice). They've been through a lot, Ginger Spice left and came back and they even had a reunion concert as well. If I'm gonna pick their best song, that would be "Stop".
Can't get enough of the songs featured? Each group has other songs that became hits and their songs will remain forever! Go Girls!
In the 90's, we've witnessed the rise of different boy bands. They are groups of 3 or more male singers that sing songs about girls, love and heartache. I must admit they made the entire world go "la vida loco" with the singles they released. So, for today's Music Zone, I would like to present... the most well-known Boy Bands of the 90's:
Backstreet Boys - is an American vocal group, formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. The band originally consisted of A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter and Kevin Richardson. Their best single for me is "I Want It That Way".
98 Degrees - was an American adult contemporary boy band consisting of four vocalists: brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre, and Jeff Timmons. I really like their song "Because Of You".
A1 - is an English/Norwegian boyband. They were originally made up of Mark Read, Ben Adams, Christian Ingebrigtsen and Paul Marazzi. For me, the best song that I can remember with them is "Everytime".
Boyzone - an Irish Four-piece vocal pop group comprising Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch. I love their song "Picture Of You" which was the original soundtrack of Mr. Bean.
5ive - an English boyband put together in 1997 by the same team that managed the Spice Girls before they launched their career. The five members were Scott Robinson, Ritchie Neville, J Brown, Abs Breen and Sean Conlon. I'm so amused with their song "Until The Time Is Through".
'N Sync - an American boy band formed in Orlando, Florida, in 1995 and launched in Germany by BMG Ariola Munich,[2] 'N Sync consisted of JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick. Surely, we were amazed when they portrayed puppets in their video "Bye Bye Bye".
Westlife - is an Irish pop group formed on 3 July 1998. The group's original lineup comprised Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan and Brian McFadden. Their music genre is pop. Their most noted song for me is the remake song "Uptown Girl".
911 - a British boyband that consists of Lee Brennan, Jimmy Constable and Spike Dawbarn. The song that makes me think of them is "Love Sensation" from the movie Casper.
There are other boy bands that were introduced in the 90's but I must say the list above made their mark in the industry.
I just heard a lot of their songs for today as I turn on my radio. So, I asked myself, why not feature them for today's Muzic Zone? I present to you the one of my favorite bands... THE CORRS.
The Corrs are a Celtic folk rock band from Dundalk, Ireland. The group consists of the Corr siblings: Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle); Sharon (violin, vocals); Caroline (drums, piano, bodhrán, vocals); and Jim (guitar, piano, vocals).
The group's career started in 1995 when they launch their very first album "Forgiven, Not Forgotten". From there, the group was known internationally. Song after song, people liked and voted for them. To date, they have eleven albums, five are original albums, four are compilations and three live albums.
Sue Sylvester is our Glee character for this week. The role is being played by Jane Lynch. She is the head coach of the "Cheerios", the cheerleading group of McKinley High. She is also the arch-nemesis of the glee club. She will do everything just to win.
She had tried to destroy the Glee club many times but she was unsuccessful. She allowed Quinn, Brittany and Santana to join glee club to destroy the group but the three girls eventually loved the group. She also made stories between Mercedes and Rachel about the "DIVA" thing that caused them to have a diva showdown but in the end both just enjoyed their performance.
For me, her most noted performance was "Vogue" by Madonna. She sang this together with Kurt and Mercedes in the episode, "The Power Of Madonna" in season 1.
She also had a performance with the entire New Directions with the song "Sing" in Season 2 episode 13: "Comeback".
I'm not sure what else or how worse Sue can do to the glee club members. I hope that she can be kind in the future.
This blog site will feature everything from the U.S. TV Hit series "Glee". Get to know the characters, watch their performances, may it be solo or group and medleys as well. I will also feature reviews for each episode every week. Comments will be highly appreciated. Enjoy!!! =)
Let's take a break from the cheesy and romantic love posts because the Gleeks are back! The all-new episodes will be aired starting February 6, 2011. We're gonna hear the voices of Will, Finn, Rachel, Quinn, Puck, Artie, Mercedes, Tina, Santana, Brittany, Mike, Sam and Kurt once more. Are there any new love teams that will be formed? Will Rachel and Finn be back to each other's arms? Will Kurt be back to join New Directions again? Will Sue still be the main villain of this show? Will she stop making the lives of the Glee kids miserable? Will New Directions win the Regionals over the Warblers or get another tie? Here are some of the information I've gathered so far about the said show:
It hasn’t yet been confirmed that Charice will return in this episode as
Sunshine Corazon (although there are rumors about Sunshine joining New
Directions in the “Meet Me Halfway” number), but the singer/actress has confirmed that she will be coming back to film more Glee in general.
New Directions will perform a mash-up of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”
and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Heads Will Roll” at the game’s half-time.
New football players Scott Cooper and Strando (Kody Batchelor) will be making their first appearance.
Quinn will quit New Directions (another Cheerios’ scheme, maybe?).
Katie Couric will guest-star.
I'm so excited for the next set of episodes of Glee Season 2!
