Too Dumb To Notice

I can't believe that our local music industry did not see the true potential of Charice Pempengco. She had to be boot out from a competition by winning only the thrid place spot. What I heard also is that she was told by an ABS-CBN whatever that she wont make it because of her appearance. She did not faultered but instead Charice moved on with pursuing her dreams because she knows she has the talent more than any overrated so called singers here in our struggling country. After their numerous tries hoping to bag a big break here in our own land, failure and setback strucked them. This is the time where Her mum had to upload a video at YOUTUBE that eventually saw by Ellen Degeneris, and was invited to guest at her show in the United States. Then success came like rapid fire, soaring rocket leaving behind all the self-proclaimed divas or whatever you call them and letting them eat dust from the accomplishment of this 11 year old singer. This just shows that our music and literature has gone down to a certain level of mediocrity and lost its essence of true art form. Our country is run by thieves politicians and our music industry is run by music illiterates that just wants to bag with showbiz personalities and tagging them as singers, actors, or what have yous. It came to a point that its all about the money and being disposable. I am so sad that most of us particularly the one whose on top of the society don't think, visualize and dream anymore. Obviously, these people who are running the music industry have no deep passion at all. All of their artist have no international qualities. They focus so much to Regine Velasquez, Sarah Geronimo, Zsa Zsa Padilla and a lot more artless big headed stars. When do we learn from all this? Charice could've been managed by a filipino but instead I heard that she's being managed by Oprah. There goes our pride. Sold and taken care of by other foreign land. I am not into this ballad thing or this kind of music because I am into sub-culture preferably punk rock, etc. I can be the nerd type when it comes to real music. The best way to earn and know music is to really listen with you ears, mind and heart. However, after seeing this kid sang, it moved me somehow that made me say wow. How could she be not the one here?.. Really frustrating. Now she's popular then all of a sudden our networks want to ride with her popularity. Pathetic. Entertainers should remain entertainers. Leave the music to musicians. Period.
