@pixelcats Yep! There is so much more in the music industry of each country beyond the “idols”. And there are also a lot of former idols who we haven't heard from… as an “idol”… that are actually still actively singing.
I wish more people expand beyond the idol industry. It's a good starting base, especially if a foreign music industry (and language). But there are so much more beyond it.
“SB19 song triggers discsussion on music royalties: ‘Respect local artists’”
While the pair waited for the music to play, the contestant and the host were told—presumably by a staff member—that they could not play the song. Vice Ganda commented in a rather jocular manner, “Naningil na sila, naningil na.” (They’re now asking for a fee.)
Curtis, who seemed surprised by the staff’s instruction, asked, “Talaga? Hindi ba good promo ‘yun [playing the song on the show] for the music industry?” (Really? Isn’t playing the song on the show a good promo for the music industry?)
The actress continued, “May gano’n [fee for playing a song on the show] na pala? Sayang.” (So there’s such a thing already? It’s a pity.)
Today's #PpopWednesday#OPMwednesday is 「Shout For Joy」 by Gary Valenciano. A fitting song after Passover, Resurrection Day, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
It's Feb 28th, and if you're suspecting they no longer love you, maybe this #OPMwednesday recommendation will help: “If the Feeling Is Gone” by #EllaMaySaison
Our #PpopWednesday#OPMwednesday today is a lively song, 「Atin Ang Mundo」 (The World is Ours) from the Filipino boy band #TheJuans, that will surely make you dance.
「Christmas In Our Hearts」 was released on 1990-11-17 as the titular song of Jose Mari Chan's 7th studio album. Through this album, Jose Mari Chan was nicknamed “The Father of Philippine Christmas Music” and Filipinos start to play the songs from this album a week before September (“-ber months”) begins, the traditional start of #Christmas in the Philippines.
