JASMINE TRIAS

CAMILE VELASCO
In 2003, Velasco auditioned for American Idol in Honolulu, Oahu and was unanimously accepted by the judges for her rendition of the chorus and bridge of Ready or Not—a Delfonics-sampled classic by the Fugees. Simon Cowell remarked that “you’re actually very good,” assuring Velasco that she had “no need to be nervous.” Randy Jackson added that, “I love the sound of your voice. I love the kind of dark kinda quality of it.” Finally, Paula Abdul stated that “you have a real interesting tone. You’re a beautiful, beautiful girl.” She encouraged Velasco not to be afraid to “let go” and to “know and own the fact that you’re really good.”
In the Hollywood round, Velasco sang several songs solo and performed “You Can’t Hurry Love” in a group. She was eventually advanced to the Top 32, in the second group of semifinalists. After her stirring performance of Brian McKnight’s “One Last Cry,” Simon Cowell stated that “you are probably the best out of the group tonight.” Before she left the stage, Randy Jackson requested that she infuse more of her hip-hop style into her next performance, and Velasco jovially replied, “I’ll do it, baby.”
At the results show, Velasco emerged as the top vote-getter in her group, just as Cowell had predicted, and she shed actual tears as she performed a reprise of “One Last Cry.” Velasco quickly became the pride of Hawaii, and small-town Maui in particular, causing the islands to vote exponentially more than in previous years. Her return home before the finals was deeply emotional, as she was showered with support and physically covered with colorful leis.
On American Idol, Velasco’s trademark was a red, yellow and green Rasta wristband, which she continually wore on her left wrist as a good luck charm and as a homage to the reggae movement (and her idols, Lauryn Hill and Bob Marley, in particular). According to her, the three colors represented peace, happiness, and unity, respectively. Velasco also wore the 3rd Eye Vision logo of the Hieroglyphics, a San Francisco Bay Area hip-hop crew, on several occasions, reflecting her love of the music and culture. In the media, Velasco became known for wearing self-designed apparel, and for being consistently unafraid to express her unique interests, conscious outlook, and sensitive ideology.
Vocally, Velasco was quickly classified as being hip-hop—a culture and style she certainly identified with (but was not limited to). In the competition, she was even likened to her inspiration, Lauryn Hill, one of the most influential women in hip-hop—a comparison that nearly brought Velasco to tears. In the Top 12 finals, however, she sang Son of a Preacher Man, Desperado, For Once in My Life, and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in her own personal style, without consciously applying a particular genre to her performances.
Born in Makati City, Philippines, Camile Velasco’s family later moved to Haiku, Maui—located in the islands of Hawaii. Prior to American Idol, Velasco was a struggling songwriter/composer who worked at her parents’ IHOP Restaurant in Kahului. She has since released a single with Universal/Motown, headlined events in California, Hawaii, and elsewhere, and is currently working with Up Above Records to complete an album.

RAMIELE MALUBAY
Malubay successfully auditioned for American Idol in August 2007 when she sang Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”. She received rave reviews after her performance of “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” in the first week of the voting rounds. Judge Randy Jackson called her performance “classy, almost like a pro,” while Simon Cowell proclaimed that she “outsang every single person” that night. Cowell also named her “one of the top three singers in the competition” after her performance of “Don’t Leave Me This Way” and also noted that she was “probably the most consistently good singer” during the Hollywood rounds. She finished in ninth place and is believed to be the shortest contestant in Idol history, standing only 4 feet 11 inches tall.Malubay was eliminated from American Idol on April 2, 2008 during Dolly Parton week. After an emotional farewell, she performed “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind” one final time following her elimination. Malubay had never been in the Bottom 3 prior to her elimination. During American Idol, she was roommates with Syesha Mercado and Brooke White. It was frequently shown that a friendship formed between Malubay and fellow Idol contestants Danny Noriega, Kady Malloy and third-place finisher Syesha Mercado. Malubay also mentioned during her pre-performance video interview for Top 11 week that she had formed close bonds with fifth place finalist Brooke White and eventual winner David Cook. Her musical influences are Aretha Franklin, Jackson 5, Mariah Carey, Lani Misalucha and Regine Velasquez, citing the latter as her favorite performer.
Malubay was born in Dammam, Saudi Arabia to Filipino parents Roger Malubay and Alicia Macrohon.When the Gulf War broke out, Malubay’s parents sent her to the Philippines; the family then moved to the United States and currently reside in Miramar, Florida.She graduated from Charles W. Flanagan High School and is currently a nursing student at Broward College. She is of Ilocano heritage.

HUSTISYA para kay JUAN
December 15, 2010Maiikling post lang ito, hindi ko lang kasi kayang manahimik lang sa isang tabi at baka sumabog ako, Oras na ba para sabihin kong mali ako ng pag-pili sayo?.OO, ikaw.. You SHOULD HAVE BEEN CARRY the TORCH forward diba?.Pero bakit sa mga nakikita ko parang unti-unting namamatayan ng ilaw at liwanag ang HUSTISYA sa bansang PILIPINAS. Huwag mo sanang isiping sumbat ito dahil ikaw ang pinili ko, pero simula’t sapul sinabi ko na hindi dahilan ang ibinoto at sinoportahan kita ay ligtas kana sa aking mga mata, WE ARE WATCHING you!!., Bakit lahat nalang ata ng KRIMINAL ay lumalaya?., Mas matimbang na ba ngayon ang PERA?., At pinaninindigan ng KORTE SUPREMA ang PAG_KAKAPIRING ng mata niya at pinapaboran nalang ang kung sino ang may mas mabigat na maipapatong sa TIMBANGAN nya??!, Tama ba ako?, Isang buhay na ebidensya ang pag-papalaya kay WEBB at sa mga kasama nito , pati na rin ang NOT GUILTY para kay KHO. Sino naman po ang isusunod nyo, ang mga AMPATUAN? Hindi malayong mangyari yon, diba, dahil ang PERA sa panahong ito ay parang TOKEN na nag-mamanipula sa SISTEMANG PILIPINO!, SAD TO SAY!! ( itong blog ay akin, lamang mga SALOOBIN, may tamaan man, EXCUSE me NALANG, pero maninindigan ako na isa ako sa mga taong hangga ngayon DEMOKRASYA ang PRINSIPYO! ) 
PIRACY IS KILLING MUSIC
December 11, 2010It really does, im right didnt i..? But i know many will just ignore these phrases and will just say : WHO CARES!!. Well, I DO care, and you must too., Yesterday, Shamrock ( PINOY OPM BAND ) have there promo tour on there latest self titled album produced by VIVA records.Crowd still chant for marc tupaz. After the set of songs, they are about to do autograph signing and picture, crew manage the tables and chairs for them. Now this is the SAD / DISAPPOINTING part, when the band done performing , CROWD just leave the event center.! Organizers decided not to continue signing at stage, they only did it backstage, at a 1.60 x 2.0m dressing room?..Oh, my..where is justice for my BAND!!.. Yeah right!, at first you might be thinking that the album FLOPED!, RIGHT?! But, if you’ll try to analyzed it, in a way the album does,but they are NOT!., Whats my basis?.. try to surf YOUTUBE one time, there are so many who’s been mad searching for the song PAGKAKATAON ( i had featured on one of my blogs , who i may say got my no. unexpected reads! ) What is my POINT?! People/FAN are still dying to hear their music, its just that they are relying on DOWNLOADS ( which they mis-concept that it is really PIRACY! ) HEY guys, wake up!. If you really love/support the artist ( im not refering on shamrock only, ALL ARTIST, specially OPM ) you have to purchase the CD or download on authenticated website ( its itunes, i guess ;D ) . Youtube now a adays became a MEDIUM IN PIRACY!, and too many support it, sad to say. There is this one channel who really FREAK MY NERVES, she was the very first one to upload the SHAMROCK album ( she rip it!! ) , hah!, i know because i always do check if any one does it. I wonder if YOUTUBE IS AWARE THAT THE SITE IS REALLY KILLING MUSIC, YOUTUBE IS A HUGE TECHNOLOGY GENERATED PIRATING MACHINE!, ( i knew that some labels abroad do screen uploads, hope VIVA RECORDS and other labels in PH will do too ). I hope people specially YOUTHS who’s been very active on this generations ” IN ” stuffs, will understand that the campaign againts PIRACY is not just a law, IT IS A PHILOSOPHY! . I know my words aren’t enough to awaken you guys but for me, if you support PIRACY you dont really support /LOVE them and their songs. And if some may say your just sharing it, SHARING IS CARING!!. And in what you are doing, you dont care at all..!!
TAKE NOTE : YOUTUBE is BROADCAST YOURSELF, not PIRATE OTHERS!! =?
Dear SHAMMIES,
If you really love the band, join me fight against piracy. ShARe the facts and simply practice supporting only ORIGINALS! rock on!

Then out of nothing she ask me,, “RAKISTA ka ba?..” a joke actually.. then she laugh… KASI KITA kita SA FABEBOOK eh.. ahaha, tulad nga ng sabi ko,, the question shocked me,, so i reply,, No.. then i smile… then pag balik ko ng desk, it made me think, coming from someone like Ate Ira,.. hehehe ganun na ba talaga ang image ko??,, heheh Some people might always associate Architecture in music,.but on my case,, I SEE MUSIC AS A PHILOSOPY and ARCHITECTURE IS THE ATITTUDE!!.. i admit,,, i cant sing,, believe me… out of tune talaga ako.. ilang taon ko nang nililigawan ang musika ngunit ang napasagot ko si Arkitektura..hahaha i guess,, its the same naman… people whos really into Arts,, mapa performing arts pa yan o visual arts.. its the same… yung outlet nga lang ng akin mas pulido sa VISUAL.. tama..?..

ELLAY ( not just a fairytale )
November 14, 2010
Ellay sumasayaw at umaawit ng sarili niyang music video. Tapos bigla siyang ginising ni Synthia isang pop star shooting a commercial for a Shampoo. Si Ellay ay anak ng back up dancer ni Synthia noon ngunit sa kasamaang palad ay namatay, so kinupkop niya si Ellay para may mautusan sa gawaing bahay. May anak na dalawang babae si Sythia, sina Meg at Sally na obviously mga trying hard at nag-mamaganda. She and her daughters drive home in her limo while Ellay has to ride her bike to their mansion. She lives in a small guest room by the garage. As Ellay folding the laundry she is watching a news report on Samuel a rockstar and teen hottie. Sabi sa news, Samuel is taking a break on his celeb life to continue his studies. Sa parehong university na pinapasukan nina Ellay at ang dalawang anak ni Synthia. The report also states that Samuel and his label are sponsoring a singing competition and the winner will sing a duet with him in his next music video. Then Synthia buzzes Ellay and yells at her for another house hold commands.
Nang sumunod na araw, Ellay picked up by her BFF Toyang dala ang kanyang bubuyog, Toyang has a kotseng kuba na kulay dilaw na may strips na black,parang bubuyog talaga. Pinag-uusapang ng dalawa nag inaharap, Gusto ni Toyang maging successful sa kanyang fashion designing samantalang si Ellay ay nag-hahangad na maka-pasok sa isang Label upang matupad niya ang pangarap na maging isang tanyag na mang-aawait. As they drive up to school Ellay is doubting her future and her singing abilities when Nathalie, isang MISS POPULARITY sa school, drives up in her convertible with Meg and Sally. Sinadya nitong tapunan ng icecream si Ellay. Nilait niya ito at nag-sabing hindi niya napansin si Ellay doon. Syempre galit si Toyang sa ginawa ni Nathalie at nag-dirty finger ito sa mukha niya. As they walk into school, as usual may mga estudyante na mahilig at malalakas ang trip, pero salamat kay Toyang at laging may nag-tatanggol kay Ellay.Then sa kalagitnaan ng pag-ka busy ng lahat biglang sumigaw yung Cheerleader : “Si SAMUEL !”.Bumaba ng van si Samuel kasama si Kulas na bestfriend nya. Sabi ni Ellay kay Toyang ay parang oras na para umalis sila at baka ma stampede lang sila ng mga babaeng baliw sa rakista. Kinuyod at halos rape-in na ng mga fans si Samuel, may mga halos himatayin na nga nang mahawakan ang kamay nya. Nag-uusap si Samuel at Kulas kung paano kaya i-handle nito ang normal life nya sa school. Him and Kulas are messing around when Samuel runs into Ellay causing her to run into other people and drop her sketches(isang fineArts student si Ellay). Nag-katitigan ang dalawa ng ilang segundo nang hilain patayo ni Nathalie ang binata. Sa kabilang banda at nag- pupurian sina Toyang at Kulas( may sariling moments ).
Tapos ng iskul, sakay ng bike tumungo si Ellay sa CloverFrets isang mailiit at palaos nang music studio na kung saan namamasukan si Ellay ng part time, tigalinis ng mga music instruments. Wala na halos tumutungo dito dahil na rin sa makaluma na ang ibang gamit. May katabing music studio ito, isang high class na studio na dahilan narin siguro ng pag-kalaos ng CloverFrets. Maagang mag-sasara si Ellay nang nabaling ang tingin nito sa Drum Set na kakalinis lang niya, tinugtog nito ang drums at tila nag-lalabas ng sama ng loob. Sa kabilang studio ay nandoon si Samuel, he was there to teach some students na nag-woworkshop for music, he played his guitar sabay sa saliw ng tinutugtog ni Ellay sa drums, coinsidence na parehong awit ang inaawit nila.( but they are on different studios). Maya-maya pay nabulabog ang pag-tugtog ni Ellay at narinig ang phone niya na nag-riring.Ellay answers quickly and its Synthia on the other line yelling at her for being late. There is an important dinner tonight and she wants dishes to be special. Nag-madaling umuwi si Ellay, at sinalubong naman sya ng dalawang demonyita niyang stepsisters. Hawak ni Meg ang digiCam nito at i-pinlay nito ang vid-file kung saan may mensaheng baduy at kinda cheap si Ellay kay Samuel at umawit pa ito ng Naaalala ka. Galit na galit si Ellay sa dalawa at pilit kinukuha ang digiCam, pero patuloy ang pambubully ng mga ito at tinakot itong ginawan na nila ng copy ang nasabing video. Hindi na niya pinatulan ang dawa at tumakbo sa kusina upang i-prepare ang mga handang pag-kain.
Kinagabihan, dumating na si Samuel, kasama ang mom at dad niya who stand as his managers at si Kulas. Inaantay nilang bumaba si Synthia, inip na si Kulas at Samuel at naiinis na’t parang nag-papaimportante si Synthia. Finally Synthia enters in a super glittery red tube/ruffles mini skirt/dress at nag-lakad papuntang dining area na tila rumarampa pa. Patuloy pa ang pangungulit nina Meg at Sally kay Samuel. As the dinner goes on, napagod na si Samuel sa pag-bobolahan ng lahat at nag-pasyang umalis nalang.Sinabi niyang hindi nalang nya gagawin ang naka-planong duet between Synthia and him dahil narindi narin ito sa kanila pati na sa mga magulang nya. He stands up and at the exact moment runs into Ellay who is carrying salad bowl. The salad flies all over the table and Ellay and Samuel share another moment. He lands on her but he stands up and helps her up. Then he leaves. Synthia then revokes Ellay’s phone privileges ng isang buwan at nag- utos na linisin ang lahat ng kalat na ginawa nya.
Matapos mag-linis ni Ellay ay nag-kwentuhan sila ni Toyang sa kwarto nito, sabi ni Ellay ay wala itong balak pumunta ng Maskara ni Juan Concert Party, pero pinipilit ito ni Toyang. Sina Meg at Sally naman ay abala kung paanong gagawin upang hindi maka punta si Ellay ng party, pinag isip nila ng paraan ang Mommy nila. Synthia is going partying and she wants her room clean before she makabalik ng hating gabi. Ellay tells Toyang she can’t go and starts cleaning the room. Nuknukan ng dumi at room ni Synthia. Mga damit na kung san san naka kalat/underwear/pinag-kainang mga junk food/tasa na pinag-kapehan/kulang nalang tubuan ng kabute ang kama nito sa sobrang dungis. Tumunog ang door bell at si Toyang yun, kasama ang cleaning crew ng mama nya na hiningan nya ng tulong. Toyang and Ellay enter the concert hall looking absolutely stunning. Meg, Sally, and Nathalie try to look for Samuel.Note that this is MASKARA NI JUAN CONCERT PARTY so everyone is required to wear FacePaint or a MASK. Ellay and Samuel are talking at the punch bowl. Samuel then asks Ellay to do a duet, sinenyasan niya ang band at sinimulan na nila nag tugtog.Habang umaawit at napahanga ni Ellay ang lahat sa boses niya ay hinila ni Meg ang cord at na-unplugged at mic nito which makes her stop singing at napatid pa ito at nalag-lag ng stage as the audience started boo-ing!. Samuel then rips of his mask but the clock starts to ring fifteen minutes to twelve and Ellay runs out of the hall but not before dropping her i-pod. Samuel grabs it. Ellay and Toyang are talking about how Ellay and Samuel rock-on the party pero malungokot si Ellay dahil sa pag-kapahiya nito.Habang nasa daan ay biglang tumirik ang kobseng kuba ni Toyang at nag-decide na takbuhin nalang ni Ellay ang daan pauwi dahil baka dumating si Synthia at hindi sya datnan nito, siguradong sermong at mura ang aabutin nya.
The next morning at school people are still buzzing about the mystery girl with Samuel while Ellay listens. Then as the announcements come on Samuel. He claims last night was one of the best nights of his life and that he needs to find the mystery girl. He then states that if you are the mystery girl tell me the 9th song on your playlist. Nagulat si Ellay. At lunch girls are waiting in line , tila autograph signing ang scene,but none of them are the one obviously and Samuel starts to get annoyed at tila nawawalan na ng pag-asa na makita ng mystery girl. Ellay and Toyang are on the stairs watching and Toyang tries to convince Ellay to tell Samuel taht she was the rockoustic princess/mystery girl. Ellay then states about how Samuel will not like her anyway so whats the point. Meg and Sally hear this and later blackmail her by stating they’ll show the video on youtube/facebook kapag ka umamin ito kay Samuel. Meg and Sally later sneak into Ellay’s room to find the songs and go to school the next day to tell Samuel but he knows its not them. As he walks out to the car Toyang finally convinces Ellay to tell him regardless of the video and so Ellay tries. Pero hindi naniwala si Samuel kay Ellay at sinabi nyang lahat ng alaga ni Synthia ay nagiging katulad na nito, mga arrogante.Nasaktan si Ellay sa sinabi ni samuel sa kanya at bumalik ito sa kotse at sinabi kay Toyang na dapat hindi nalang nya sinabi ang totoo dahil napahiya lang siya.

SAWA FACTOR
November 13, 2010Hi there, short post again, just cant stay so silent and sit in the corner about this issue, i knew it is so YESTERDAY issue but i have to voice out my opinions.
“WALANG SAWA FACTOR FOR US!!!”,,( tag line on kim and gerald’s noodle commercial )
Excuse me if i may sound bias. I see nothing wrong to BEA and GERALD issue,.I admit i really dont like Gerald for Bea but if its what makes Bea happy why not, same to Gerald. This may look SUPER BAD to all kim chu fan but i guess its time for you to accept that your idol’s LIPGLOSS is not glossy anymore.
