There are so many things ...Totally agree with you! There are so many things about the music industry in the Philippines that need some major updating!! Unfortunately, they don't seem to notice and those who do notice it do not do anything. I grew up here in the US and it's really sad how music from the Philippines seem to have been left behind. I'm just going to take this time to vent out my frustrations on this topic:<br /><br />1) The industry does not invest enough in the search and the training of new artists. Every time I turn on the TV or go on the internet all I see are the same old artists singing songs from decades ago. ABS-CBN, GMA...doesn't matter how big they are, they are filled with washed-up artists of bygone days who no longer speak to the modern population! Note: I do not credit them for Charice and/or Arnel Pineda..both of whom were discovered by OTHER people. They only showed up in the industry AFTER they "made it" outside. <br /><br />2) When they do debut new artists, they often look like it's their first time singing/dancing/performing. You can see the raw talent there but you can also see that they were NOT trained or prepared AT ALL! They end up embarrassing themselves on stage. It's amazing how they can still garner fans with their lackluster performances.<br /><br />3) Everyone seems to think that 'OPM' strictly mean ballads, novelty songs and alternative/rock genres! When new genres come about people always end up bashing them and labeling them as "copy-cats." This is what I don't understand...why do they always speak of "world class" and "pang-international" and yet also criticize songs that attempt at foreign sounding genres. YOU CAN'T BE SINGING BALLADS AND NOVELTY SONGS FOREVER! <br /><br />4) Producers, directors, etc. ALL those people in charge of presenting a song/music video/artist to the public are scared to invest!!! What they end up with are tacky looking music videos, old sounding instruments, and artists who look like they've only learned to perform last night. Also, when a song actually sounds amazing they often are not publicized enough! <br /><br />5) "The technical stuff": I want to know how old exactly are the video cameras, studios, lighting, software, etc. that are being used because the end product is usually very sad looking. <br /><br />6) I know piracy is a big problem in the Philippines but you have to ask, how the heck did K-Pop become so popular overseas? Answer: the internet, youtube, etc. Fans made it ACCESSIBLE to the world! And it was in HD!

There's not much to be attained in ...Hear hear! There's not much to be attained in getting good in doing covers. I don't think anybody ever gets remembered in history for ripping other peoples songs. If Freddie Aguilar says the lot of the artists nowadays are monkeys, he's rude, but he's coming from a very good point of view.REDKINOKOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513385746498034003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29794265.post-15882083712758002092011-02-18T11:07:47.707+08:002011-02-18T11:07:47.707+08:00I agree on all you've written on this blog...t...I agree on all you've written on this blog...this should serve as a challenge for Filipino composers/singers....we have a lot of talent but why keep on "reviving" songs... look at K-Pop..they are being recognized not only in Korea but almost all Asian countries because they have their originality and "upgraded" way of making music....I mean...the world is crazy on Pop.....or RnB..and still we keep our pride of making obsolete ....im not saying "ballad" is not good music but we are creating wrong genre in the wrong time or if we still insist of making/singing ballad, we should do it in a competitive arrangement.....and of course filipino singers/producers keep on doing concerts with the same old concepts again and again...not considering the excitement the crowd is looking for......but Charice has the excemption on the way she started her career of singing ballad because she is beyond amazing, her voice quality is undeniably international caliber.........just sayin'----www.twitter.com/iceG_officiaLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
