Pop Girls is back!
August 4, 2010After the success of their debut single and MV, the darlings of the P-pop world is back with a new single “Sige Sayaw!” (translation below) released last 20th of July. There is no doubt that they improved in terms of the outlook; however the effect of the vast speculation in their debut by anti-ppop critics still lure but most of them think that Pop Girls has the edge to reach international acclaim only if they assume an identity distinctively from other pop culture (particularly kpop).
“Sige” — Fil. equivalent to the english word “alright” used as an expression of agreement. It is usually repeated to emphasize continuation of the action so the translation might be “Go” or “Going” or “Go on” are also acceptable. // “Sayaw” –Fil. n. Dance. (present rootword), Danced (past nagsayaw) Dancing (present nagsasayaw), dance (imperative). // “Sige Sayaw” means “Go! Dance!” or simply “Dance!”
Is that Toni Gonzaga?
Surprised to see Toni Gonzaga singing [for real] in ASAP last Sunday.
The 26-year-old actress, host, model and now recording artist started her singing carreer during the “We bleong Together” as a theme song for the Philippine premier of the Korean drama “You complete me” aired in the Philippines last 2006. However, her voice has been the big topic of speculation among critics who would claim that Toni can’t sing live.
It was posted in popsicles.ph that the latest MV of Toni Gonzaga entitle “Can’t help myself”
In the long run, her voice improved singing several Ballads in both FIlipino and English that hit the chart from time to time… this probably would make people change their outlook about her saying Toni Gonzaga, the singer.
Who says Super Junior’s and SNSD are too populated?
Just received the news that a new J-pop girl band will debut as a major group. A headline in tokyohibe.com states that Saturday Night 48 or simply known as SDN48 will debut early next month having members who are all 20 years old and older that obviously pertains to the kind of audience they are targetting. Having 48 members, SDN48 was also mentioned to be the sister group of AKB48 which also the same number of members mostly are younger than SDN48.
This means that AKB48 is the GP-rated movies, while SDN48 are Rated-R.
Wow…I wonder what does the stage looks like if both SDN48 and AKB48 will be together in one show… I hope the fans will be able to memorize the names of all the members of the group.
