Dear Entertainment Diary,

I am so happy when the Music video for Tay-tay's song, Red, which also serves as her album's title, finally saw the light of day but when I saw that it was a concert video, (like Sparks Fly, and Fearless), my adrenaline just came down. It'\s just that Red is one of the songs that I like the most fro her latest album and it also one of the songs that has very deep meaning and emotions.

But when I watched it, I just felt I want to rush to Taylor's Red Tour as it is magically awesome and we can see her totally rockin' it out on the stage and giving her best. Damn, this video is great and lucky are those who already saw her perform in her Red tour! If only I can watch it. :(

The Voice of The Philippines ( 2013 Reality Talent Search Competition)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

Happy 100th post!

So, I am a big fan of The Voice US. I love everything about that reality TV Talent search especially when it comes to the coaches/judges/mentors! Adam, Blake, Christina, and Cee Lo started it off, then the 2 in the latter were now replaced by Shakira and Usher, respectively, but I think in Season 5 they will be back.

Moving on. It's been so long ago that the Kapamilya network announced about their franchise of the show and I got excited! I got more hyped when one of my favorite blogs, Fashion PULIS, let his readers know who are the judges going to be and they are all very famous and talented whet it comes to music! They are not just what they called so-so. Let me begin with my Idol Lea Salonga ("The voice that conquered the world"), then Apl de Ap ("The voice that ruled the worldwide music chart"), Sarah G. ("The voice that captured our hearts") and Bamboooooo ("The voice that rocked our world") ! Yeah! Who wouldn't b excited?

But months ago, FP also revealed/compared the set/stage of The Voice Philippines from the other 2 more The Voice franchises here also in Asia. I think Thailand is the one and I just forgot the other one. Hongkong perhaps?

Based on what I've seen at that time, the two other franchises were more HIGH TECH compared to our country's franchise. And what more, it is a far cry from The Voice US's set/stage! Aside from its set, there were also some rumors/blind items about the show which lessen my excitement. But, Bad publicity is still publicity.

So tonight, The Voice of the Philippines finally debuted its Pilot episode and I was disappointed about the set! Really disappointed because it is one of the features that I love on The Voice US. The chairs were turning slowly. I don't know, 10 seconds before the judge can face the contestant? Just Kidding! But it was really slow.

BUT, the judges blew away my disappointment especially Lea Salonga! I love her energy! There came to a point where I think she's being OA but she's just so cute and adorable to hate! I really love her so much and we can see how she really want to be a mentor in this competition and she's aiming to be the first mentor to win. Bamboo is just mild but his words were very nice, real, and has meanings. What he said were inspiring and colorful especially the part where he said, "We'll play around" HAHAHA. Apl is genuine in his words although I didn't like his outfit but he is being real. He can relate to the contestants who come from poor families! Sarah G, is just so honest in her words! She's being real but I think she is just too polite, saying PO or OPO all the time. Ms Laida Magtalas, I mean, Mrs. Montenegro, You need to be  Rayver, I mean, BRAVER. BOLDER. FIERCER.

So to sum the pilot episode, IT'S GOOD and PROMISING. I love it but not 100%. I probably will watch more episodes of it but I hope I can still see the judges being hyper, honest, and professional! 

I hope it won't be scripted just to gain attraction or won't be a charity case as what happened to some of  the reality search here in the Philippines! I hope they stay true and find the one of the Best Voices of the Philippines!

We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus (2013 Song)

Image courtesy of wikipedia.com

Dear entertainment Diary,

Yes! Finally, my goddess, Miley Cyrus, finally let her fans hear her latest single after 3 years! Everyone knows she was very busy lending her voice to many of the songs of the many talented male singers out there including Will.I.Am and Snoop Lion. Man! I know that this song, We Can't Stop, is very far from her former pop rock songs and more adult than her previous songs in her album especially during her Disney/Hannah Montana days as she embraces a new genre, urban and a lot more R&B.

For me, the song is not a typical song to be a single but as of now, it's proving itself on the charts and I hope it'll debut this week on top! Anyways, as I said, it's not a typical song for a single but as a comeback song, it's fine. The beats are there and the voice is still kickin' and larger than her usual voice. I just don't know what to do while listening to the song; should I dance because of its beat and meaningful lyrics about life or should I cry because if the drama that is accompanying Miley's voice and dramatically played piano notes.

There is quite a stir all over the internet since the song was heard that the lyrics were pertaining about drugs but the producers already denied it and I, as well, can't see anything about it on the lyrics. I'm singing the words as Miley, not MOLLY, thank you very much.

Literally speaking, the lyrics is about doing what we want when we are in a party but as I understand it, I can see as I dug deeper that it is about life. Like no one should care about the things we are doing as long as it is right!

Go download it on iTunes people and can't wat for the music video!

Would You Rather (2012 Film)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

I really liked, not that loved, Brittany Snow ever since I saw her on John Tucker Must Die, which is the first of her films that I have seen. I'm not that much of a fan but I saw Prom Night, The Pacifier, Pitch Perfect, and the most recent, Would You Rather.

OK. So I loved this film. I don't know if it is considered as a horror film but I really loved it! The acting and the plot are superb. The actors, the twists, and most of all, I loved how it is not based from a book/novel, nor a remake, but is based from a Party Game!

I've seen films that contain crueler or many torture/pain but this stand out, for me, although it is not that gory as the Saw Series or many other torture porn scattered in the movie industry.

I love how Brittany acted as a very lovely, simple girl that will do anything for her brother. The plot revolves around her, on how low can she be when it comes to saving her brother.

The game is very simple; the host will give the players 2 options per level and as the level goes up, and the players are still playing or not yet eliminated, the options get harder and harder. The rules are simple but the things they must accomplish aren't. There also comes to a point where they need to choose who to suffer, themselves or others.

I've watched films with the same genre; survival/death game, but as I said, this one stood out because of the twists and turns and stuff. Because it also contains a story. A dramatic plot. Suspense. Thrills.

It's very worth watching. 

Some questions were on my mind as I began watching the film. Will his brother survive in the end and how low can she go? Will she be able to commit crimes against her will or will she do it just to get what she thinks that will give her brother a chance to live longer? Will she find true love?

And I'm very satisfied with the answers given at the end of the film. I was actually shocked cus I did not expect such scenes, so, GOO JOB!

I encourage you all to watch the film and be amazed, thrilled, and be filled with tension and suspense because this is not the kind of torture film that we are watching nowadays, but a very silent and dark flm with superb acting, good plot, shocking scenes, annoying characters, and bittersweet ending.

Pitch Perfect ( 2012 Film)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

Long time, no post. Sorry for that as I was busy this past month and didn't get to update entertainment stuff like Demi's Heart Attack video, Selenas's Come and Get It video, and many more that I have watched or seen. I've seen a lot of films lately but I didn't have internet connection and I was busy serving and entertaining my relatives who just came back from other country. I was also busy going back and forth to Manila and I wish I'll never do it again. UGHHHHH.

Moving On, Pitch Perfect is only one of the movies that I have watched and I should not let this movie slip here in my blog as this is the most laughing stock/funniest film I have watched in AGES.

I've known about the film since last year when I saw it in the top 100 Best films on Itunes. I was actually going to download it that day but I downloaded another horror film, which I haven't yet watched. And this March, I was gong to download it again but my brother told me that he already has a copy given by our cousin who also loved the film that much. I mean, who wouldn't? It's musical/comedy. We dig these kind of stuff.

Pitch Perfect is just funny as hell kind of movie that even the corniest jokes in the film can make the viewers laugh (which means it's not corny anymore). What makes me love the film more is that it contains music and features song that I also love. The actors are all good especially Rebel Wilson who is one of the play makers in the films. The song choices, how they mashed it all up and made it their own were just superb and fantastically stunning. 

The plot revolves around Beca, a newly arrived freshman at Barden University, on how she managed to cope up with the Pitches (B*tches) when all she really wanted (at first) is to be a DJ and create her own sounds and pursue her own music career. The movie also tells the story of an all female A Capella group called The Barden Bellas on how they sing their hearts out and not let their fears, tensions, and having sex with their male rivals take over.

I've got to tell you, this film is worth watching. 

As of now, I really can't wait for the sequel. I actually did not recognize Brittany Snow here, as well as I didn't expect that she has a voice! :)

Anna Kendrick as Beca Mitchell, a reclusive and rebellious girl who wants to pursue a music career; she joins the Barden Bellas to appease her father and finds herself being caught up in their world.

Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy, (born Fat Patricia) a comedic and eccentric member of the Bellas from Tasmania.

Ester Dean as Cynthia-Rose Adams, a lesbian member of the Bellas.

Fall Down by Will.I.Am ft Miley Cyrus (2013 Song)

Dear Entertainment Diary, 

So here's the fourth single off Will.I.Am's 4th studio album, #willpower, featuring our queen, Miley Cyrus, Fall Down. I've been waiting patiently for so long just to hear this song and until now, I still can't believe that it's here! Ermergerd. Hahaha

After lending her great voice to a great song by Snoop Lion, Ashtrays and Heartbreaks, here is another song where she also lends her beautiful voice! I was actually waiting for a song that sounds like Will.I.Am's previous song like Scream & Shout but I was shocked that this song is kind of a far cry from that. The song sounds like Ke$ha's Die Young probably because of the whistle thingies but still rocks and I an dance to it for weeks! Whatever Miley touches, or sings, will turn into GOLD. Real Smiler here and I really can't wait any longer for her official single and fourth album to come out!

Listen to it here:
