Rihanna and Chris Brown's concert in Manila could have caused a nightmare to some of the concert-goers last night if the two did not perform so well during their concert at the open fields of Fort Bonifacio, Global City in Taguig. Though we tried to go to the concert as early as we can, the traffic was so bad, getting a parking slot was terrible and entering the venue was worse considering there were other 70,000 people trying to get in. But what's even worst was many people, mostly those who got gold tickets (including us), were not allowed by the concert team to enter the venue. Actually, we missed almost half of Chris Brown's show. We were so upset because we couldn't get in and the show has already started. The concert marshals did not even give a damn to explain what's the reason for not allowing us to get in until angry fans demanded explanation from them. With that incident, we were told that part of the "Gold Section" was full so we can no longer get in and the only choice left for us who were still outside was to walk around and go to the other side of ...

Who said that love songs need to conform to slow jams with hardcore drama embedded in penned lyrics by a heartbroken artist? It is time to set this upcoming singer songwriter apart from all those hopeless romantics that can only sing during the rainy days. This season of giving, James Morrison gives you something to listen to, sway to and fall in love to. Undiscovered is definitely not the proper album title anymore for rising UK star, James Morrison. With five past singles on hand, namely, “You Give Me Something”, “Wonderful World”, “The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore”, “Undiscovered” and “One Last Chance” it is high time for him to come up with something new. MCA Music Inc. is proud to bring the lovers and cynical heartbreakers the newest album of James Morrison, Songs For You, Truths For Me, an album title more suitable of Morrison’s pure, bluesy and jazzy voice accompanied by his honest to goodness lyrics that can be mistaken for love letters. At a young age of 21, he has acquired a long list of accolades that music hopefuls aim to achieve in their lifetime. Apart from winning the Brit Award for Best Male in 2007 and being nominated ...

It has been quite a while when rock band Boys Like Girls went to Manila to do a series of shows. It was definitely a blast. I even never expected that there will be such energetic crowd on the day I watched them perform at the Glorietta Activity Center last September 6. There, I realized that many girls (and boys too) like Boys Like Girls. It was all because of LSS (Last Song heard Syndrome) when I learned to appreciate their songs, then eventually, I read the lyrics and instantly liked most of them--specifically "The Great Escape", "Hero Heroine", "Five Minutes to Midnight", "Hero Heroine", "On Top of the World", "Thunder", "Learning To Fall", and "Heels Over Head".   And, I think I like a lot of BLG songs as compared to My Chemical Romance. No wonder the band is a big hit, mostly to teenagers and young adults, because their songs are of something the generation of today could relate to: love and friendship. Watching the band at their mall show was all worth my time though I think that was a very quick performance. I'm not complaining since it's a free show of seven songs and great performance from BLG but ...

Now that the release of Hillary Duff's Reach Out is near (November 11), for sure, her fans are getting more excited to hear and as see the latest video of her new single. Actually, she sounds ala-Madonna and Britney but looks like a bit Kylie. And honestly, she's hot in this video (well, for me). But how true is it that she is now forced to delete a scene on that video (where she licks a finger of the male actor)? See the video after the jump: Is the Lizzie girl turned hottie really hot on her latest video or not?

Christmas is few weeks away from now. Food, parties, gifts, decors, greeting cards and anything else will just be all around us considering that Christmas is near. Well, aside from those, christmas carols or songs makes the holiday spirit much intense.

I was one of those who registered early for Clear’s Halloween Dance Event. I was really excited because aside from having the chance to have fun with other bloggers and guests, it was the first Halloween party I ever attended. There was one big problem though-- I had to wear black. Wearing black tops is always a problem to me. Whenever I have to wear one, I am always worried that people might notice the small white flakes on my shirt. Well, blame it to my recurring dandruff. It actually took me so long until I found the perfect shampoo for me. I’ve been switching from one shampoo to another only to find out that the perfect one is already out and available in the market. Good thing was I registered early so I got this wonderful package which contained the invitation and Clear Shampoo few days away from the event. Without any hesitation, I gave it a shot and see if it can really take away my dandruff which apparently, my old anti-dandruff shampoo failed to do so. For significant number of days, I used Clear Anti-Dandruff shampoo and it really worked—no flakes, no dandruff, my scalp feels clean and light, ...
