Re: Random Straight Thoughts for 2006
Kyla's music career as fans hoped it would lead to most
probably ended when Backroom,Inc. took over the artist
management of it.
As for conspiracies.. Regine herself said there was
someone trying to make her quit showbiz. Its only logical
to assume whoever that person truly is would be the main
reason many of the wishes of good Regine fans like Petr
and the rest never seem to come to pass.

Those are good posts. I like BRAVE fan posting. But muSICKfun
isn't as brave as you think he is. Because he doesn't sign off
with his name like Petr does. Still his thoughts with the post
is appreciated. ;-} But until people like Boy Agenda's reign
of showbiz media terrorism ends not too many pinoy artists
will ever see the full potentials of their talents. Until
pinoy music fans realize what that truly means to them
it will keep staying that way.
