Weird version ng Chandelier ni Anne pumatok hanggang Australia!

MANILA, Philippines — Naaliw si Anne Curtis nang pumatok ang version niya ng sikat na sikat na kantang Chandelier at patulan pa ng isang international website na Nine News. “So my birthday performance made it to 9News website back in AUS! Who would’ve thought my croaky voice would get a feature! Hahahah,” sabi ni Anne sa kanyang social media account.

At ang title ng article: “TV host’s spectacularly weird rendition of Sia hit ‘Chandelier’”

Heto ang bahagi ng report: Sia’s hit single “Chandelier” is notoriously hard to sing, but that hasn’t stopped a Filipino-Australian performer from trying - with limited success.

Born in the Victorian town of Yarrawonga, Anne Curtis is a huge star in the Philippines, working as an actress, model, singer and tele­vi­sion host, amassing nearly 8 million Twitter followers in the process.

As the host of musical variety program and game show “It’s Showtime!” Curtis stepped behind a piano to belt out the ubiquitous hit.

What she lacked in accuracy in hitting notes she made up for with passion, her heartfelt performance reaching new heights when she literally swung from a chandelier, as the song’s chorus suggests.

Aided by a shirtless male dancer, she scales the titular light-fitting amid a cloud of mist as confetti falls around her.”

Kaya naman katakut-takot ang kung anu-anong reaction sa nasabing story at video ni Anne.

Merong isang nagsabi na na­matay daw ang aso nila habang nakikinig sa kanta ni Anne.

May nag-comment na mukhang hindi pa nakaka-recover ang boses ni Anne.

Biography ni Armida Siguion-Reyna maraming rebelasyon

Si Susan Roces ang isa sa kauna-unahang bumili ng inabangang biography ng isa sa iginagalang na singer at artista ng local industry na si Armida Siguion-Reyna nang magkaroon ng launching ang libro last week sa Whitespace, Makati.

Dinayo ng mga kaibigan ng pamilya ni Armida ang launching ng biography na nagsisilbing celebration ng pagkilala sa kanyang legacy as a pillar in both showbiz and public service ng mga prominent names from entertainment and politics.

Armida Siguion-Reyna is a multi-faceted icon in the Philippines with notable accomplishments bilang singer, actress, producer, and MTRCB chairman. Nakatatak na sa lahat ang kanyang musical TV show na Aawitan Kita na iti­nuring na longest-running musical TV show in the country at nagkamit ng hindi mabibilang na award.

Naging malakas din ang boses ni Armida sa film censorship. Bilang liberal thinker, nanawagan siya sa Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) na i-scrap ang film censorship and lauded independent filmmakers for showcasing their uncensored films abroad. Nakisali pa siya noon sa anti-censorship rally with National Artists including Bien Lumbera, Lino Brocka, and Ishmael Bernal among others – a fearless move that further carved Siguion-Reyna’s name as one of the best industry leaders.

Inabot ng halos dalawang taon ang nasabing libro bago natapos kung saan bibigyan ni Tita Midz ang mga babasa ng kanyang interesting at nakakahalina na minsan ay may pagka-‘rebeldeng’ buhay. Sa kasalukuyan ay 84-year old na siya.

“The book breaks the rules of how traditional biographies are presented, just as my mom has been doing throughout her life. It gives readers an inside view of her private thoughts about her public and professional relationships with behind-the-scenes revelations; her one true love, her fears, her strengths. It’s her backstory,” said Monique Villongco, Siguion-Reyna’s daughter na nagsilbing editor ng libro.
