For sure you heard about the show The Voice. The show is the ultimate search for the next singing superstar. I heard this show even before but I didn’t give much attention. Now, that I learned ABS-CBN will be producing this talent show here in the Philippines, I got an interest to watch the show.

The Voice is already in Season 4, wow that’s long already. I was intrigue on how they choose the singer because the judges are facing at the back while the singer is singing. I think they called it the blind additions, wherein they have to choose the singers just by hearing the voice. So, the auditions are based only on vocal ability. Well I won’t provide additional info because for sure you are familiar with the show. Currently, they are in the live playoffs already. The mentors of The Voice Season 4 are Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Shakira and Usher.

Anyway, I’m excited to watch The Voice of the Philippines this coming June. It will be hosted by Toni Gonzaga; her sister Alex Gonzaga is also part of this upcoming show. The coaches/mentors are Sarah Geronimo, Lea Salonga, Apl. de.ap of The Black Eyed Peas, and Bamboo. I hope they are like the mentors above who are really good and funny at the same time.

Another youtube sensations from Gensan is here to show the world his talent in singing. Remember Aldrich Lloyd Talonding, the young Filipino boy who sang the cover of ”Dance with my Father”. I’ve seen this talented young man in Bandila, a late night show on ABS-CBN. So, I searched for the video on youtube. If yo haven’t watched the video I grabbed it from youtube.

The voice of this young boy is really powerful, same with his cousin who plays guitar very well. Now, I knew why Ellen DeGeneres wanted these two boys to come and sing to her show. You are the best Ellen, you always giving Filipinos a chance to show the world our talents. Here is the video wherein Ellen announces her invitation to Aldrich Lloyd Talonding and his cousin.

The other day, my two nieces were screaming. I thought something happened but the only reason they screamed is Daniel Padilla. This singer actor is very popular today especially in teenagers. My nieces are just two of many fans of Daniel Padilla.

Anyway, they knew from a friend that this singer-actor will be having a concert in Lucena next month. This is not the first time that Daniel will visit our place because he had mall shows in different mall. I think 3-4 times already. I told my niece that she already watched Daniel performing in one of the mall shows here but niece said that it wasn’t enough, lol. Niece said, in mall show, he sings 1-2 songs only and with very short appearance. She also mentioned, that mall show is different with concert. Well, it’s true. I already watched mall shows of different artists and they only appeared for a short time. While, in a concert you can be sure that the performer will be performing most of his popular songs.

Well, one of my nieces already purchased ticket. She got one VIP ticket. I think the ticket price for VIP is 1,000 Php. My other niece is still convincing my sister because she has many expenses for the past months especially her mobile bills reason why her mother didn’t want her to watch the said concert. Well, one of my nieces is excited already, some of her friends will be watching as well.

Today, ABS-CBN released summer station ID 2013 titled “Kwento ng Summer Natin”. Performed by Sam Milby and Angeline Quinto, Lyrics by Lloyd Corpuz, Love Rose De Leon, Michael Sales and Tess Perez-Mendoza, Music by Marcus and Amber Davis. 

The video shows stories of summer and at the same time ABS-CBN stars made tribute of the most popular programs that have left a mark on Filipino television for the past 60 years.

Some of the shows are “The Nida and Nestor Show” relive by the stars of Ina, Kapatid, Anak; Enchong Dee and Maja Salvador. Remember Alma Moreno’s show Loveliness during 80s; this show flashback features Pokwang as Alma Moreno as the tangga-wearing performer in “LoveliNess”. Another show Chika Chika Chicks, this also featured in this video with my favorite It’s Showtime beauties Anne Curtis, Karylle, and Coleen Garcia doing sun-bathing. The beauties were joined by their noontime co-hosts Jugs Jugueta, Teddy Corpuz, Jhong Hilario and Kim Atienza.

I’m a big fan of Taiwanese series “Meteor Garden, this was also included in the video. The first Asianovelas that made waves  in Filipino television.  Enchanting the roles of San Chai and Dao Ming Su in the summer station ID are Kim Chiu and Xian Lim.

Aside from the shows; summer Station ID also featured the biggest dance hits over the years, like Otso Otso, Katawan, and Pinoy Ako. We should not forget tag words that have made a mark on Filipino televiewers  like “Hoy Gising!”, “Handa na ba kayo?” and the latest “I-Dawn Zulueta mo ako!”

These are some of the highlights of summer station ID. Watch the video and reminisce the shows of ABS-CBN over the last 60 years.
