A royal showdown

"Compared to these foreign acts, our local artists are far more brilliant. They can outdazzle even Mariah Carey with her vocal calisthenics (listen to Regine Velasquez do her thing on stage or even K and the Boxers’ newest member Shanna Hife, who can do the whistle at a drop of a hat) or the F4, who, if not for their hit TV series Meteor Garden, is just a bunch of cute Taiwanese actors who resurrected their sagging careers, thanks to the Pinoys’ unabashed adulation."

my reaction..
being truthful.. at first.. i am not really amazed with regards to their acting and singing talents even zaizai.. but now.. they have already developed these,, it's just many of us don't appreaciate them because we can't understand them... i agree that many of us are more talented than them but the philippines itself can't make them popular outside the country and what is happening in our music industry today where the filipinos themselves cannot be proud of it because of the "nonsense" meanings of the songs?!? in fact.. the meaning of their songs.. based from the translations are not bad at all.. so.. let's not judge them because we don't know what are their improvements so far.. hehe.. that's what i think!!

peace to all.. respect is the key to love!!
