MUSIC LYF: Krizza Neri Listening Party

Krizza Neri has indeed growing out of her shell and venturing into the world of entertainment with the release of her new self-titled album, Kirzza. From the reality show Protégé, she is now on her way to be the next singing idols of the country. 

Sometimes to hear (and to see) is believing, so at her Listening Party recently with other bloggers and online media, she showed that her talent was indeed refined by practice and various competition. And at her young age, she is definitely ahead of singers of her age. No wonder she won the competition.

And in he listening party, there was no band, nor guitar, just pure voice. That really impressed us, when she sang some songs in the album as well jammed with the other bloggers (will post videos soon). I will also post a album review soon, so stay tuned...

REEL DEAL: I Do Bidoo Bidoo REVIEW

The great music of the APO Hiking Society already is a legend in OPM which has been venerated by many artists and even made a tribute album with popular artists and bands making their own rendition of the songs. Now we sometimes ask ourselves, why not make it a musical? That is what critically-acclaimed writer-director Chris Martinez have weaved together the timeless songs of APO into one musical movie of the year, I DO BIDOO BIDOO Heto nAPO sila.

Giving a whole new light with the songs of many generations that still popular even up to today, the film brings together a powerhouse cast that are perfect for each role. It stars, Sam Concepcion  (Rock Polotan) and Tippy Dos Santos (in her first major movie role as Tracy Fuentebella) as the lovely couple who plans to get married and goes into the traditional pamamanhikan stage. Tracy's parents, the Fuentebellas are Gary Valenciano (Nic Fuentebella) and Zsazsa Padilla (Ellaine Fuentebella), while Rock's parents are Ogie Alcasid  Pol Polotan) and Eugene Domingo (Rosie Polotan) which gives a whole lot of riot and touching moments in the film.
