Subject: Regine Velasquez denies shopping for new record label Author: Scarlett [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:06:08 01/29/06 Sun Regine Velasquez denies shopping for new record label By JOJO PANALIGAN The Manila Bulletin January 30,2006 Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez squelches rumors that she has been shopping or entertaining offers for a new recording contract outside Viva Music. "Though I am not saying that I have already renewed my contract with Viva, I am definitely not exploring options outside the company—at least not yet," says Regine during the pictorial for her Valentine concert with Ogie Alcasid. "Viva and I are still negotiating for my stay so that means, officially, I am still with Viva Music which, I must add, I’ve had good working relationship with so far." The superstar singer–actress speculates that talks about her leaving the company sprung from news that her contract with Viva is set to expire soon if not already. Labels with international affiliations are said to be battling out among themselves since late last year to get Regine’s name on dotted lines. The Songbird continues to be Viva’s banner artist despite talks that young singing contest champions are beginning to entrench on her throne. She is set to release a new CD under the company dubbed "Covers 2" which is predecessor to the Double Platinum (approaching triple) output in Dec. 2004. "Covers 2" will also contain rehashes of popular songs predominantly from the 80’s and 90’s as "Piano In The Dark" and "Hold Me In Your Arms" (the banner single). Having already achieved the point when she can already experiment with her undertakings, Regine is currently in the thick of rehearsals for "Forever After" slated for the Araneta Coliseum on Feb. 10 and 11. Conceptualized as a ‘fantacon-sierto,’ it promises a storyline that will musically take its audience to a magical land of fairies and witches with comedic relief courtesy of guests Ai Ai de las Alas and Rico J Puno. "It’s time for me to do something new," she says. "Nakakasawa na rin yung paulit-ulit na mga kanta so here, almost 80 percent of the songs are ones na hindi pa naririnig ng mga tao. Besides, Ogie and I just had a concert together last year so it’s pointless to work together again so soon without a fresh concept. Hindi ba, fresh ang pag-play ng character ko dito bilang fairy?" Refreshed, meanwhile, is how Regine describes her current disposition since late 2005 gave this workaholic accidental respite. If usually, she is the frenetic multi-media commodity who would hobble from taping to shooting to recording to rehearsals to brainstorming sessions to contract signings on daily basis, she had enjoyed some free time while waiting for cameras to finally grind for her upcoming Star Cinema film with Piolo Pascual. "Nakakapanibago nga kasi sanay ako ng naglalagare," she says. "Pero buti na din yung nangyari kong semibakasyon kasi at least nakapagrecharge ako. I will be needing all this energy when Ogie and I take ‘Forever After’ on a U.S. tour this summer." Working for the nth time with Ogie, she says, is no stress at all. "We’ve been friends for so long that chemistry comes simply effortlessly. Walang ego, walang arte—and definitely no dancing for me as far as ‘Forever After’ goes," she jokes. "Forever After" is bankrolled by Starmedia and Aria Productions. The concert is being directed by Rowell Santiago while script is by Ricky Lee and musical direction by Raul Mitra.

Well, remember about Regine making a deal with channel 2 before? hehe.. remember this, Regine fans.. Boy Abunda has the capacities and is the only one who seems to be getting himself involve in the songbirds affairs AND been trying to keep it a secret. There not be too many of them getting by you as long as Regine got friends who give their support to the Music Inside Buzz. ;-} Watch out for those who seem to have a problem with that. >:-) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Inside report: The reports about Abunda's intents behind the scenes with Regine's "Forever After" are looking very much on target. Worms are starting to show up on other groups now. But this is the group where they are happening at the most intense way. Many worms occured during the time or right after the most pointed posts have been made against the Regine detractors. If you failed to realized that you should know about it dispite what a few educated but misguided fans are saying isn't happening. This has been going on for the longest time. But check this out- the person with the programming background and is the one person I pointed out as creating something that was a virus always is the one person who avoids posting any useful information about them. Its always those who are NOT programmers who are posting info that these are normal happenings. They are not. Who you going to believe? Do your own thinking and you'll know who. ;-} It is not a popularity contest. That should make it easier for most. < -------------------------------- regine_velasquez · asia's songbird!!!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/regine_velasquez/ ------------------------------ > [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
