hear hear LOL but i wont be surprised if our dimwitted mod would think ill of you. your piece could not have been more accurate.
>actually the title 'covers' was ultra lame itself.
>there are so many not so good impressions we could
>gather about this album, to wit:
>1. when she had her free show at glorietta feb/mar
>this year, she was still considering an all-disco
>album. meaning, there was not much conceptualizing
>(read: quickie) done on this since the album was out 6
>mos. thenceforth.
an all-disco album? that would have been interesting. not her thing but the experiment just might work. who knows? maybe this would elevate her as the ultimate gay icon of phil show biz? right jun? LOL
>2. there are a lot better vintage OPM pieces in the
>Phil music archive that speak of significance and
>timelessness than many of those included in the
>album. either Viva A&R (paging Eugene Villaluz!) and
>Regine's camp had not exhausted their research or they
>just ran out of their more sensible ideas.
exactly my point. thing is, the genius mod deleted my post on what should have been included in the album.
>3. it was easily perceivable as a damn lazy work.
>how? it was a smorgasbord kind of revival without any
>coherence among the selected songs with all them
>slumped into one place with one main connection that
>they are all covers regardless of their dynamics and
>relationship.
there's actually a concept. all songs were originally done by male artists. but i agree with the words u used: smorgasbord and lazy work
>4. if it were indeed envisioned to introduce good opm

>an opportune time to pay tribute to the opm maestros
>by selecting at least one song from each of our
>national heritage composers, pop and pop-opera-classic

>Too sad the likes of Odette Quesada, Cecille Azarcon,
>Rey Valera, Katindig, Hotdogs and a whole lot more
>vintage Pinoy pieces were missed out. Sure regine has
>paid enought tribute to San Pedro, Cayabyab, Canseco
>in Tagala Talaga.
true true... tsk tsk instead you have ogie alcasid there. the "songwriter" who makes good money writing cliches and recycled melodies. wonder why.... LOL
>5. i suspect viva as well had a lot to blame for the
>selections. it was a very disappointing lousiness
>from an ateneo high school valedictorian in the person
>of villaluz to have miserably failed in the A&R
>mechanics of this album.
i hope so. but i think regine is to blame as well.
>6. the grapevine must have some truth. when viva was
>all set to renew the records contract with regine
>politely buying her time to commit to it after the
>consummation of her 5-album contract, viva did not
>take it too well. if regine posters were all-around
>viva offices then, sarah's replicas noticeably
>dominate nowadays. doesn't regine's packaging for
>covers appear too difficult to perceive budget
>constraints?, where it all started with lousy song
>selections (except araw-gabi, ikaw ang lahat, say that
>you.., and kailan) as other composers demanded higher
>fee considerations which viva did not oblige?
>Tsk,tsk....
she shouldve left viva long time ago. but she chose to stay. viva has made a big star out of her. ano kapalit? the quality of her work has greatly suffered.
>7. that the album launching was off to a not so good
>start. when the twin videos were premiered over myx,
>the sound was consistently not good. so did the myx
>live. i sensed the usual sorround sound was not
>evident. but the cd versions did not sound the same.
>how and why? while ogie's and even sara's unreleased
>albums' carrier singles had been enjoying airplays,
>regine's minsan lang... was nowhere on the air and
>even one disc jock (from mellow touch) was clueless
>about it. another how and why??? any sabotage in the
>works?? Tsk, tsk...
she should have known better.
>8. all in all, despite the very good reasons to bash
>regine, i also think we have the most opprtune time to
>strengthen and gather our ranks to rally behind
>regine. of course, it would be a matter of individual
>causes and convictions. if regine were to learn her
>lessons, she should deal with these matters wisely now
>on top of contending with other nameless (but of

>her.
good point. if only other regine fans were as sensible as you. tsk tsk
