GOOD FOR HER!
Lani's gamble paid off then. Some artists including Regine won't do what she did. Lani is very brave.
Good luck to her.

ohhhh...don't tell me that. REGINE just loves her family dearly, she's not really into fame thing. she just wants to have a good life. it just so happens she's very good at it. Hindi lang siya desperado sumikat...i am not saying that LANI is pero regine had been given so much opportunities but she herself was not really interested. sad but she thinks her life is better off here...

i DON'T THINK TRYING IT OUT OUTSIDE THE PHILIPPINES IS A DESPERATE ACT. I work here in America and can come home anytime. If Regine doesn't want to go international, why did she audition for Le Grand and even went to Europe to see him ?
i am just happy that Lani is getting breaks for such a short period of time. I still don't like lani unless she comes up with a decent album.

I am happy for Lani, and I hope that this gig turns out to be a successful one. I'm sure a lot of Filipinos in Vegas will support her. Me and my friend are actually flying out to Vegas this coming weekend to see the show.

About Regine naman. Like what Mortensen said, I really don't think that Regine is really big on making it here in the States. She was interested in the Le Grand project because she like his works. Offers where given to Regine so many, many times already, and she turned them all down. She is happy and contented to be where she's at right now, and that is in the Philippines. I recall that even after winning Bagong Kampeon, she could have fled to Japan and performed there just like the other previous champs and make big bucks, but she chose to stay in the Philippines and struggled and worked hard, hoping to make it in a very indefinite and compromising world of Philippine showbiz, and guess what? She made the right choice...

My husband is a musician here in US and heard REgine's voice, watched her show a lot of times but he said the same thing that Regine will not make it here in US. Because why would america wants an Asian singers where they have millions of talented and have better voices than REgine? But that doesn't mean she can't sing. She has an amazing range and strength. But the tone of her voice is not as impressive because you know, we're talking about uniqueness sound here. I really believe that if Regine doesn't have that range and power of her voice, she wont make it. But God is good. Regine is a real nice person, inside and out. So she deserves all the blessings.

mmJun (forum moderator) says:
Greetings. I'll respect what your musician husband has
to say. Its his opinion as a musician. hmmm.. Can I ask
a few questions? Is he a recording musician? Tour musician?
A good musician playing in a band or stage-show or teaching
in school/camp or just as a hubby when he isn't working some
other job? Just wondering.. He wouldn't a computer programmer
or an airline pilot, would he? hehe..

So he got to see Regine, eh? Several times even! And
he doesn't think she's good enough to sell records
there? Nah.. that can't be. Unless he was just being
dragged to watch her sing. You haven't been making him
watch shows he wouldn't really like, have you? Then he
must truly loves you. hehe.. (hold on to that one, missy)

Oh, and is he a pop music lover or a rocker?

Anyway, Regine's time as an new recording artist for the
U.S. or any other country may not be in the cards anymore.
At least as a top pop artist. Middle-of-the-road (MOD) or
adult-comtemporary (and do I dare mention "pop country")
is and will always be a possibility if she ever gets that
kind of opportunity. Because till now she would still be
the first artist alot of people would mention if they were
asked who would be the most logical choice to do something
musical for a pinoy artist.

Your hubby's answer sounds logical. But maybe he never
really played in a group or band that had a filipina as
the lead singer. People and especially American music
lovers always appreciate hearing a good foreign singer.
Its something that would be different for them. And you
know how Americans can be- if its different than they will
check it out and make a big deal about it if they like what
they hear. And at one time I know Regine was a different
kind of singer to hear. Even today, she is still one singer
that sounds as good as her records when she is singing LIVE.

Not too many (except some of the superstars can handle
doing the kind of music set (songs in her concert line-up)
she does.

The tone of her voice? (I had something to say about that.
But I took it out. So I'll go along with what you said
about it for now.)

But for an argument sake (with facts that should be
mentioned here for all the fans to know about)I'm
going to make a couple of points that will defend the
belief that she would have done well in the U.S.music
charts before because -

If Celine made it then Regine could have easily done well
too.

Since there were recording companies that did want her
like Sony Records (and a few others) then I have to say
that if anyone knew what would be a good music risk to
take it would have been the record companies themselves.

And apparently some wanted to. So Regine would have had
her chance if the deals for it wasn't being mis-handled
badly from those with the Philippines side.

I'm still waiting to hear from anyone connected to
David Foster. The music producer. To see if the old
rumors about him wanting to work with Regine are true.
And if they were then the argument would is over. If
David wanted you it would be because he thought you got
what it takes. And if there is anyone respected in the
music business in the U.S. he's music opinion would be
near the very top.

You said:
> Regine
>is a real nice person, inside and out. So she deserves

Ditto.

mmJun ;-)

Thank you for posting. What's your hubby doing now?
