Everyone knows how close the affinity between the Philippines and Spain is. This is seen in our language, peppered with words borrowed from Spanish.

A skinny Gretchen Barretto clad in a black gown (with a fuschia colored accent around her waist) three times biggest than her size kept her promise to Startalk to guest and sing live.
As she sashayed towards the set, agad pinuna ni Lolit Solis ang aniya’y sumobra namang kapayatan ni Gretchen. Her arms were too thin, but her face, agelessly beautiful. Nagdayalog tuloy ang Startalk director na si Floy Quintos: “You can never be too thin and too rich.”

If you are tired of the vocal calisthenics of Beyoncé and Christina Aguilera, the derivative style of the girls of American Idol and sweetness of young Disney divas, here are some albums by new female talents. Low-keyed, fresh, intelligent and introspective are the keywords here. These artists also share sweet, expressive vocals and the daring to stay true to their styles, even if they miss the hit charts. Think along the lines of Norah Jones and Corinne Bailey Rae, but each in her own way, is different.

Stacie Orrico's elegant latest album, the soulful, R&B-powered Beautiful Awakening, tells the story of that journey, which has landed her where she is today in control of her life and career for the first time.
"It's definitely a peaceful record," says Orrico, now 20. "I wanted to make an album that you would want to put on while you're sitting in your bedroom after a long day.

                    [Summary] => Balladeer Martin Nievera celebrated the joys of romantic love in the album Best Wishes, which is made up of popular wedding songs. But as everybody and certainly Martin himself know only too well, the path of true love seldom runs smooth. There are also heartaches along the way. So to balance the contents of that last album, he has recently released When Love is Gone, which features love from another and certainly darker perspective.

                    [Summary] => Twenty-three years and Martin Nievera is still on top of his game. Since he first burst into national prominence in the early ’80s via his long-running TV show, Penthouse Live, with Pops Fernandez, the Hawaii-raised singer has managed to change the face of the local industry not only with his music, but by his wit, charm and humor.


His public persona as much celebrated as his private life, Martin has become a constant presence in the lives of those touched by his music. If there was such a thing as music royalty, Martin would certainly be on top of the list.

                    [Summary] => Martin Nievera claims to be an expert in affairs of the heart, but I guess as most of you out there surely know, that is only as far as singing love songs goes. Outside of that, his batting average is quite spotty. In fact, it makes one wonder when or if he will ever finally make the enduring homerun. Despite this, he goes about singing songs of love for a living and in the process provides those caught up in romantic situations with choice pieces for their personal soundtracks.

                    [Summary] => Balladeer Martin Nievera celebrated the joys of romantic love in the album Best Wishes, which is made up of popular wedding songs. But as everybody and certainly Martin himself know only too well, the path of true love seldom runs smooth. There are also heartaches along the way. So to balance the contents of that last album, he has recently released When Love is Gone, which features love from another and certainly darker perspective.

                    [Summary] => Twenty-three years and Martin Nievera is still on top of his game. Since he first burst into national prominence in the early ’80s via his long-running TV show, Penthouse Live, with Pops Fernandez, the Hawaii-raised singer has managed to change the face of the local industry not only with his music, but by his wit, charm and humor.


His public persona as much celebrated as his private life, Martin has become a constant presence in the lives of those touched by his music. If there was such a thing as music royalty, Martin would certainly be on top of the list.

                    [Summary] => Martin Nievera claims to be an expert in affairs of the heart, but I guess as most of you out there surely know, that is only as far as singing love songs goes. Outside of that, his batting average is quite spotty. In fact, it makes one wonder when or if he will ever finally make the enduring homerun. Despite this, he goes about singing songs of love for a living and in the process provides those caught up in romantic situations with choice pieces for their personal soundtracks.
