Think Out Loud

i know this is extremely pointless, but i refuse to believe that Thia Megia is better than Charice. they both have different singing styles. while Charice belts out like Whitney, Thia is more like Lea Salonga. While Charice battles it out with her powerful pipes, Thia is more Disney - you know, everyone singing what you can sing.



i'm not thrilled with this season's American Idol but i'm glad to know another Filipino made it into the top 13. it's been a long time and it's time to show them what Filipinos are made of. but honestly, comparing singers on who's better that have the same blood and race is sick. people should stop doing that and just support the both of them. or maria aragon as well, if you want to shove her into the picture.

Today's playlist:

1. Listen - Charice
2. Lucky - Chord Overstreet and Dianna Agron
3. No Surprise - Daughtry
4. Devotion - Citipointe Live
5. You Alone are God - Christ for the Nations
6. While I'm Waiting - John Waller

I think Quinn and Sam's duet version of Lucky (from last night's Glee episode) was very sweet and cute! (And I never say sweet and cute together unless it deserves to be said in the same sentence). It wasn't a jaw dropping, mind numbing performance, nor was it something that would make your skin crawl like when you hear Charice sing, but it was a very simple song sang simply by two nice looking persons. The guarded vulnerability of Quinn and the bashful, boyish grins and glances of Sam made the song and their performance sweet and, as Santana put it,

Yup, I'm a fan of Charice. And a BIG one at that. Many times, VJ and I would go crazy at work just by listening to her songs. Two months ago, we sang her version of Through The Years (our own version inculcated in it) during one of the events at work. Last year, we had a "Charice-marathon" courtesy of Youtube. Because of that, we were able to snag more fans for her. Now, we tagged Charice as our "younger sister" (but of course she doesn't know anything about that. LOL).


So, when i heard the news that she will be casted on Glee, it piqued my interest. Honestly, i don't give a whatever on Glee. i saw it on cable once, but i got turned-off (?) with the horrible theatrical acting and weird, over-sexual characters. I remember quickly flicking the remote to another channel. But since Charice will now be part of it (and other famous singers like Susan Boyle, Paul Potts, and Britney Spears) i tried to give Glee a shot. And last night, i watched and listened to its piano version of Poker Face.


Three words.


I. Liked. It.

If only that song wasn't sung by Lady Gaga and the lyrics more meaningful, i'd include this in my playlist and would play it nonstop until i get tired of it.


What a "gaga" world we have out there.
