In other countries, lip synching is a big deal. It should be. These singers are being paid a hefty amount of money for their audience to hear their voice.
jusko dong, si lea pa ang insecure. know her resume and you would know she's not a bit insecure. kanino sya ma-insecure sa mga piling singers ng pilipinas. haller!
she's not insecure. lea knows her place in the industry and i dont think madaling sundan ang yapak ni lea. bilang singer, it is unfair for other singers not to perform live, but lip-synch instead.
that's all B.S....all of the names above lip-synched! unless you are classically trained, operatic, theatre singer, or from serious choir group..then yes..most probably you don't lip synch..but all the rest does..in a point of view..if you're paying for a concert to see this person sing yes no lip synched should be done..but on TV?? I guess it's ok to have a couple who does because seriously.........Would you want to hear Marian, Kim, Maja, Echo, Xian, Enchong, etc etc..sing live??? OMG I'd rather poke my ear with a stick seriously!
malamang kinahihiya na nya sarili nya ganon? hahaha magaling si lea..maraming parangal binigay nya sa bansa..pero nagiging masyadong EPAL na sya sa mga comments nya. Daig pa nya magsalita sina Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Julie Andrews..etc etc..sobra na talaga nakakangilo ng panga .
Lahat ng singer naranasan na mag lipsync tinutukoy ni lea ung singer na sumikat kaka lipsync ung parang buong career niya mas maraming beses ata ng lipsync kesa kumanta ng live.
gaya ni daniel akala ko singer nung ngprod cla nung mothersday lyp synch n nga di p nia inayos..sinayang lng nia.dpt di nlng xa ngprod pa xa di nlng nahiya sa kasama nia non singer din.
Yes, Britney Spears lip synch a lot at her concerts and she has to cause its her dance that sells. And Britney is pretty much not the same caliber as Cristina Aguilera and Beyonce who are true singers. Britney is more of a dancer.
Ok lang na nagbayad ako ng pgkamahal na ticket at naghintay sa queue sa labas ng arena for long hours,nangangatog sa ginaw dahil winter basta makita ko lang ng personal at malapitan si britney,worth it,sa harap ako ng stage at unang line sa barrier nakapuwesto,worth it lahat kahit lip synch kasi maganda naman ang mga performances at dance moves nia at bongga ang stage,femme fatale 2011 bonus pa si joe jonas,ganda mg mukha ni britney,hayskul fav namin sya dati
Kaya nga singer ang trabaho diba, boses ang puhunan mo. Pinasok mo yung trabaho, sana panindigan mo kaya bawal dapat ang lip syncing! Singer pero puro lip sync, ano ka karaoke?!
As to the subject of this article, I think singers should sing live during performances. Why do we watch concerts and musicals despite the hefty price and all? Because we want to experience the real thing. If singers will just lip-synch their songs we might as well just get their cds and listen to good recorded sound in the comfort of our home. And relatively at a much cheaper price.
There's a big difference between giving an honest opinion and being arrogant. Palibhasa sanay kayo sa kaplastikan sa showbiz eh magsabi lang ng totoo mayabang agad. I totally agree with her. I have no respect for singers who lip sync and pls dont say 'singers from the us naglilipsync' oh pls... ndi totoong singers mga ganon. The real ones are aerosmith, beatles, queen, etc.
anon 3:50 she defended gay people? from whom? from Christine Babao? omg read those lines properly, that was purely done with a motive..to bash C.B. but it backfired...Lea as always couldn't let go of the fact that C.B. thumped her high-class *ss and graduated with higher honors...now back to lip-synching..yes she IS arrogant,borderlined b*tchy, she's actually proud of that..but you see..she's too high on her pedestal already..one of these days she will perform bad, her voice will 'crack' ...........that's only natural, all singers encounter that..look at Regine, she even said before her voice has never ever failed her..what happened in her anniv.concert?...........tsk Lea ..from time to time..exercise being a little humble about things and just say..no comment.
Ganyan na ang mundo ngayon kung sino ang magsabi ng honest opinion at magpakatotoo sila pa ang masama pero ang mga plastic at puro good words lumabas sa bibig pero sa talikuran masama sinasabi sila pa ang all praises sa mga tao
She's not arrogant. Mahirap lang sa Pinoy pag may ipagmamalaki ang tao at confident sa sarili arrogant na agad. I remember when she said that the trouble with some Filipinos is that we undermine our achievements. Pag may nagsabing "Ang galing galing mo naman". We say "Hindi naman" or "Wala yun". Instead, we should say "Thank you", because for sure we have worked hard to achieve that.
5:59, while I like regine, there's just no comparison. Lea, from the time she became a singer, has always been professional. She always delivered. Remember that Listen by regine? And what's with CB graduating with honors and lea didn't? Look at cb's statement on gays. Also, lea has always been liberal, not only abt gay people but also on RH bill and other pertinent issues.
If totoo nga na arrogant siya, well, she has every right to be one. Having that vocal caliber of hers and her countless achievements, may karapatan naman talagang magmayabang at mag-rant. Baka gusto niya lang i-angat ang quality ng Philippine music scene and it seems na disappointed siya sa music industry natin ngayon.
Dear 10:50 PM kawawa ka naman kahit kailan di mo narinig ang jeje? jejemon? Kahit sa news? Pa duh duh ka pa jan whether you like it or not the word "jeje" is a part of an average filipino's vernacular. I know lots of educated and RICH (or both) people who use it. So wag kang mag feeling dahil hindi bagay
I agree hahah katawa tawang isipin na mas marami pang bumibili ng records ni daniel padilla kesa sa totoong singers.Pagpilitan talga ang di pwedi kong merun naman expert sa larangan ng pagkanta.
naglilip-sync din po si sarah, minsan sa promotion, like nung sa it takes a man and a woman, pero sumasabay naman sya..pag may artists din na di marunong kumanta, lip sync din sya..
pero noon, mga dating ASAP pa, pag kasabay niya sina bea, at yung iba na di nakanta, live ang kanya.. :)
laging sinasabihan si sarah ngayon na lip sync, pero ang totoo naman, may pre recorded voice lang na kasabay, like halimbawa pag chorus na..
Even if singers from the consistently United States Lip snyc, does it make it acceptable? I don't think so. If it's a one or three time occurrence, maybe it's acceptable as there may have been an unforeseen circumstance that required them to do that (sick, etc). BUT if it's consistent, meaning, it's every performance - - there's no excuse for it.
People don't like Lea for her honestly - - I admire her most for that. She's not filled with the same bullshit most people in Philippine showbiz is ridden with AND she has the talent, experience and credentials to back up her opinions with. And by talent, I don't mean fabricated and sugarcoated with good publicity - - SOLID TALENT.
GMA nag papalaki ng isyu enidit ang interview para mag mukhang patama kay anne. At ang mga makitid na utak na fans ni anne sugod agad kahit walang basehan. tsk tsk tsk
actually si vice may boses naman eh. si anne... well, we all know, right? pero mukhang nanalo na naman siya sa Guillermo Mendoza as 'best concert act', besting seasoned singers. a slap in the face, lea? food for thought...
Lea's back in Philippines because she does not that much gig in the U.S...that's a fact. Yes she is good, yes, she did bring home a lot of recognition to our country..but bottom line is she's here to work due to lack of work in U.S........but please Lea, you're always rubbing people the wrong way. I'm not saying sugar coat things but please when you say something stop looking like a smug bratty b*tch! It's irritating to watch. It gives you that air that you're so high and mighty but you're not. For once..please show us your craft more and stop bashing other people, that way we can appreciate you more rather than turn our eyebrows up on you and not patronize your shows. Bratty Lea.
Super agree! She has that smug look on her face, feeling superior nga talaga. But other than being a judge in that talent show, what other projects does she have?
What she said doesn't make her a brat. She's just stating her opinion because she was asked and because she is a repected singer. And fyi, she just finished a string of concerts here in the US not mentioning a recently concluded theatre show with George Takei in San Diego. Perhaps you're not a fan that's why you are not aware of her shows. I mean, do you even watch theatre shows? Jeje ka yata eh. Ha!
Schedule lang ba hanap mo te? Visit her website, leasalonga.com/schedule, nakalagay po doon yung sched niya from May to early June. Wala pa doon yung sinabi niya sa Martin Late at Night na concert sa Tokyo. As we all know, June magsstart ang The Voice so that would take, what, three-four months? And oh yes, meron pa po siyang ginagawa na bagong musical, which is aiming to go on Broadway possibly later this year or next year (see Allegiance). So, yes, wala nga siyang gig ngayon. Happy now?
I love Lea, I think she has one of the best voices in the world... pero nag-lipsynch siya at least *once* in her career. in the distant past, noong child star pa siya, kumunta siya ng 'sanrio song' at lip synch yun, but done very well. noong teen star siya, di ba nasa tv din siyang madalas (I think nasa that's entertainment pa nga siya noon) and she did the whole showbiz thing, lipsynch, teenstar patweetums, etc. there was a 'jeje' time in her life before the whole theater/tony award thing. kaya lang di siya click sa masa kasi parang elitist na ang dating niya noon pa lang eh.
Lea for me is a feisty person with class. Hope everyone does not think she's arrogant because those people without any class and breeding should be looked down at.
Korak! Lagi kong nahuhuli at nahahalata na umaasa si Sarah sa playback at minsan may mga performances siya na yung chorus naka-lip sync lang siya bigla.
porket hindi nababalita wala na agad career? puro international kaya shows niyan! im sure hindi niyo napanuod yang episode na yan. may shows daw siya sa US at Japan.
I think Leah is just pissed sa mga nagsusulputan na fake singers pinipilit na singer di makakanta ng maayos. Leah had made known the "Filipinos" as a world class talent becauseof her singing prowess tapos ngayon mga baguhan na singer at feeling singers binababoy ang songs nagiging kahihiyan ang Pilipinas. May singers mag revival na nga lang di pa makanta ng maayos
Well, to be fair, even perfectly capable vocalists like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and, yes, even the late, great Luciano Pavarotti (Google it) had at one point or another in their careers lipsynched their way through a song or two. Ang talagang hindi katanggap-tanggap eh yung buong career na puro miming na lang ang ginawa (Here's looking at you, Britney.)
I genuinely enjoyed this episode with Martin Late @ Night.
One of the funniest and most honest conversations on a talkshow.
I hope you people get to watch this episode. I don't see any mapanlait/kayabangan on Lea, cocky and straightforward, yes. Showbiz people should be slapped on the face once in awhile to get back on the ground.
I have so much respect for Lea, a worldclass talent, a true diva of her kind and a very straight forward person when it comes with her opinion/s and it really makes sense at all...... some people find her b***h but I think she's better to be like that, unlike other people in the entertainment industry displaying a sweet image but they totally have the most disgusting hypocrite attitude....
Mga ate, kahit di na magkatrabaho ever si lea, di siya malalaos. She's already made. What she's saying is true. These so-called singers don't treat singing as a craft the way serious artists do. Kawawa naman kayo.
pero sana hanggang videoke nalang tayo haha. yung mga artistang sintu kasi, gagawa gawa pa ng album. pwede bang hanggang videoke nalang sila with their fans? nakakasira ng credibility sa buong local music scene eh. sana ipaubaya nalang nila sa legit singers talaga na may ibubugang talent.
Yes, no originality. No own style. Gaya gaya lang. Kahit sa elimination ng American Idol di papasa. Sasabihin sa karamihan ng mga singers dito, karaoke style lang.
i don't think sasabihin 'to ni lea kay sarah..in the first place hindi papayag si lea na maging coach sa the voice na nandun din si sarah...konting isip naman..may ibubuga rin naman si sarah kahit papaano
The Queen B already had an exprience of lip-synching so it's not a big deal. Unless, you do it every now and then just like Toni Gonzaga and Daniel Padilla. Major concert na nga, lip-synch pa at tawag nila sa sarili nila ay "singers". Buti pa nga sina Anne at Vice, kahit papaano, live kung live, kahit tawag nila sa sarili nila ay "performers".
She's inggit sa mga may concert na fake singers. Laos ka na so pls shut up Lea. Your opinion is welcome, but not your smug look when being interviewed.
magaling si ms lea and we should commend her for that but her comment s are mostly super brash bordering on disrespectful or insensitive remember her views on marriange! but i think most of what she says are to marjet herself so she can appeal to a younger generation
Lea is lea. Also, listen to how she answered that RL-Anne question- balanced and fair. At least she doesn't pander to anyone. Whatever she said about lip synching, girls and gays, she's earned it.
CONFIRMATION na nakapag lip-sync na si Ms. Lea. She even wrote the article herself. Article sa inquirer Hanapin n'yo na lang po. "I sang at the Asian Games in December 2006; my prerecord was done the previous July. So yeah, I’ve done it, and there’s no doubt that I can carry a tune. For that event, I had to stand many, many feet above the ground on an elevated platform with a nice breeze blowing. I was terrified and extremely nervous; I was thankful that I was required to lip-synch. I also prerecorded “A Whole New World” with Brad Kane for the 65th Oscars in 1992. We were prepared to sing live. But during the rehearsal, the forklift that was supposed to raise our magic carpet was too loud. The noise bled into our body mics; we had no choice but to employ the recording."
Even though. She still did it. She could've turned them down if she was being required to lip-sync. SHE STILL HAD A CHOICE. Specially yung sa Asian Games pwedeng-pwede nya tanggihan. Pero yung sa 'A Whole New World' mahirap i-turn down since she was the original singer of the female part.
Grabe kayo naman maka-react! Wala naman siyang sinabi na NEVER siya nag-lip sync. Saka totoo naman yung sinabi niya: kung SINGER ka, responsibilidad mo na kumanta ng LIVE hanggat maaari dahil hindi ka binabayaran para mandaya ng audience mo. Saka wala namang name-dropping na nangyari, nag-init agad mga ulo niyo.
Maam Lea, unawain niyo po ako. Mahirap po kasi talaga para sa akin ang mga kanta ng foreigners sa matataas na parte kaya nili-lipsync ko na lang po sa ASAP at Sarah G Live. Ahihihi -Sarah G
Lea Salonga for me, even though she's frank, outspoken and haughty for some people right here, I believe she's a feisty person with class. Kung ina-admire ang mga prangka't palaban na wala namang breeding, sana bigyan naman ng galang si Lea kahit papano, dahil may katotohanan naman ang mga pinagsasabi niya, eh.
oo si regine v. never nag lip sync pero utang na loob binababoy rin niya yung lyrics ng song. sa tagal na niya anging singer bakit di pa rin niya maayos ayos yung mga lyrics ng kanta.
Damn it, hahaha, kakaasar ang mga tao. Why are you slamming down lea salonga - it's leah freaking salonga! - for stating an opinion? Wala ba siyang karapatan magsabi ng gusto niya? It's not arrogance at work with her, she's sincere, she's honest. she works unbelievably hard. her achievements have never been topped. she's entirely on a class of her own. please, before we assume something about someone, before we say something, let's really really think about it. because i hate the fact that someday, she might read this and feel even a smidgeon of hurt, feel even a tiny bit upset. nobody deserves to be talked about this way, talked badly about. why are you even wasting time saying something bad about someone you don't even know? if you've got nothing good to say, just don't say anything. di ba? iba yung level ng quality ng work ethic ni lea salonga. if you've seen all her shows, the sheer dedication and hard work she puts in, you'd see someone professional, who loves her job, who's
I agree, we paid to hear their real voice not being auto tuned.
ReplyDeleteIn other countries, lip synching is a big deal. It should be. These singers are being paid a hefty amount of money for their audience to hear their voice.
ReplyDeleteif i remember correctly, nag-lipsync na rin si lea during the opening ceremonies of Asian Games in Doha...check nio yun.
ReplyDeleteShe NEVER lipsynced. Baka mabagal lang connection mo.
DeleteAnd yes she did lipsynch when she performed a whole new world in oscar with her partner brad cane.
DeleteBig fan
May pagkakataon na need maglip synch kasi yun ang gawain don sa oscar and doha. For sure d sya maglip synch if di inutos yun
Deletevery true! why discount the audience if these singers get paid a large amount?
ReplyDeleteone word: insecure
ReplyDeletejusko dong, si lea pa ang insecure. know her resume and you would know she's not a bit insecure. kanino sya ma-insecure sa mga piling singers ng pilipinas. haller!
Deleteshe's not insecure. lea knows her place in the industry and i dont think madaling sundan ang yapak ni lea. bilang singer, it is unfair for other singers not to perform live, but lip-synch instead.
Deleteshe has nothing to be insecure about. she can sing the phonebook with perfect pitch.
Deleteinsecure agad? hindi nman starlet or rising star si lea to be insecure.
DeleteI think, lea is just trying to level up the standard of Filipino singers as she is known to be a perfectionist at work.
kung meron insecure yun yung mga nag lip sync. kase they know they suck and can't sing.
DeleteLea is one of the greatest voice sa Pilipinas. insecure what? sit down kid.
Anong ikaka-iinsecure ni lea?? Eh wala naman nakapantay o lagpas ng achievements nya!!??
DeleteIsip isip ka pagmay time. Kaloka
Walang ikai-insecure si THE LEA SALONGA no! I'm sure si Sarah, andaming insecurities sa sarili hahaha!
DeleteKorek ka jan 12:00 am.
Delete#leasalonga honest person
ReplyDeletepansin ko kanina sa ASAP, nakalipsynch silang nag oopening. ok naman kung mg lip-synch kung ang mga kasabayan mo sa number ai hindi totoong singers.

DeleteProve it. you only have a general, sweeping comment with no hard fact. You can't say Marian lip synced that PP performance with Glaiza.
DeleteAnon 5:51, Pink does not lip synch. She has always been very vocal against it.
DeleteI agree, Pink doesn't lip synch.
DeleteLady gaga.
DeleteAdam Lambert
DeleteBakit? Ni isang beses ba hindi nag lip sync itong si Lea?
ReplyDeletetatlong beses.
DeleteThree times? So wala na ba siyang self respect ngayon?

Deleteapat na beses
DeleteOo. Kasi she was talking about herself in that interview eh. Hahahaha. Hay naku.
DeleteMeron pa po. Applicable Lang yan sa ibang singers, pwera siya.
DeleteGurl, she was asked a question. She didn't say those things out of the blue. Epal? What for?
DeleteLahat ng singer naranasan na mag lipsync tinutukoy ni lea ung singer na sumikat kaka lipsync ung parang buong career niya mas maraming beses ata ng lipsync kesa kumanta ng live.
Deletei admire her for that. kung talagang singer ka at naniniwala ka sa kakayahan mo di mo na kelangan mag lip-sync

ReplyDeleteEven international singers lip synch.uma attitude c lea salonga pansin q lang.
ReplyDelete...and it's acceptable because singers from outside the US do it? Really.
DeleteIf you're someone who trains hard to improve performance and maintain your voice, it is insulting.

ReplyDeleteFun interview. If Martin guests people like Lea, his show will last longer.
ReplyDeleteYou're correct, but the masa taste is entirely different. Look at the results of the recent election? Pinag-isipan man lang ba?
DeleteTrue that!

I agree with Lea, ang totoong singer hindi dapat mag lip synch. On a totally unrelated note, I find Lea very arrogant..feeling high and mighty lagi.
ReplyDeleteYes she is arrogant, even happy she is called a b--ch. One day, makakarma din yan.
DeleteTumpak!!!
DeleteYabang talaga nyan nuon pa.... nakatuntong lang ng america akala mo... hays..

And oh yes, meron pa po siyang ginagawa na bagong musical, which is aiming to go on Broadway possibly later this year or next year (see Allegiance). So, yes, wala nga siyang gig ngayon. Happy now?
DeleteSus di lang kayo sanay kc mga patweetums ang gusto nyong sagot!
DeleteI love Lea, I think she has one of the best voices in the world... pero nag-lipsynch siya at least *once* in her career. in the distant past, noong child star pa siya, kumunta siya ng 'sanrio song' at lip synch yun, but done very well. noong teen star siya, di ba nasa tv din siyang madalas (I think nasa that's entertainment pa nga siya noon) and she did the whole showbiz thing, lipsynch, teenstar patweetums, etc. there was a 'jeje' time in her life before the whole theater/tony award thing. kaya lang di siya click sa masa kasi parang elitist na ang dating niya noon pa lang eh.
DeleteLea for me is a feisty person with class. Hope everyone does not think she's arrogant because those people without any class and breeding should be looked down at.
Deleteay yung katabi nyang judge, mahilig rin mag-lip synch yun, why not tell her about it too?
ReplyDeleteKorak! Lagi kong nahuhuli at nahahalata na umaasa si Sarah sa playback at minsan may mga performances siya na yung chorus naka-lip sync lang siya bigla.
DeleteSi Daniel P ang guilty.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, mayabang. May career pa ba sya?
ReplyDeleteJuma-judge. Other than that, ano pa ba?
Deletewala na kaya nga p*ssed off yan dahil di sya mabenta masyado dito sa bansa nyang iniwan nya pero binabalik balikan para pagkakitaan ...
Deleteporket hindi nababalita wala na agad career? puro international kaya shows niyan! im sure hindi niyo napanuod yang episode na yan. may shows daw siya sa US at Japan.
DeleteActually, meron. She chooses her gigs well.
DeleteIf your benchmark of a good career is dancing in silly noontime shows then maybe her career is not really flourishing.
But if you consider performing with world-famous orchestras, then yeah. sure.
Korek! Bawal mamili?? For sure mapera na sya bat sya papatol sa anik anik na pagpeperform
DeleteI think Leah is just pissed sa mga nagsusulputan na fake singers pinipilit na singer di makakanta ng maayos. Leah had made known the "Filipinos" as a world class talent becauseof her singing prowess tapos ngayon mga baguhan na singer at feeling singers binababoy ang songs nagiging kahihiyan ang Pilipinas. May singers mag revival na nga lang di pa makanta ng maayos
ReplyDeleteCorrect! Naawa Ako Kay Rihanna,pinatay ang manta because of Anne.
DeleteWell, to be fair, even perfectly capable vocalists like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and, yes, even the late, great Luciano Pavarotti (Google it) had at one point or another in their careers lipsynched their way through a song or two. Ang talagang hindi katanggap-tanggap eh yung buong career na puro miming na lang ang ginawa (Here's looking at you, Britney.)
ReplyDeletems lea is arrogant and beechy yes but i agree with her.
ReplyDeleteI genuinely enjoyed this episode with Martin Late @ Night.
ReplyDeleteOne of the funniest and most honest conversations on a talkshow.
I hope you people get to watch this episode. I don't see any mapanlait/kayabangan on Lea, cocky and straightforward, yes. Showbiz people should be slapped on the face once in awhile to get back on the ground.
I pray earnestly that Anne Curtis would stop croacking! her voice is irritating.i've had enough of her!
ReplyDeletewhoa...'croaking' is putting it mildly. pero aminin, anne is eye candy. put her on mute na lang and just look at the package.
DeleteFilipinos are not used to people who speak their minds, esp Filipino women.
ReplyDeleteI have so much respect for Lea, a worldclass talent, a true diva of her kind and a very straight forward person when it comes with her opinion/s and it really makes sense at all...... some people find her b***h but I think she's better to be like that, unlike other people in the entertainment industry displaying a sweet image but they totally have the most disgusting hypocrite attitude....
ReplyDeletei totally agree, thanks for defending her..sobrang idol ko sya since bata pa ko
DeleteFull of herself.
ReplyDeleteTrue that. But no other projects to boast of. Other than talent search judging gig.
DeleteIsa ka pa.
Deleteshe's just being honest and straightforward masyado lang kayong balat sibuyas
DeleteMga ate, kahit di na magkatrabaho ever si lea, di siya malalaos. She's already made. What she's saying is true. These so-called singers don't treat singing as a craft the way serious artists do. Kawawa naman kayo.
Deleteagree! sing with your heart kahit sintunado. its not about perfect pitch or tune its about how you enjoy music. mabuhay mga sintunado.
ReplyDeleteYane~~
pero sana hanggang videoke nalang tayo haha. yung mga artistang sintu kasi, gagawa gawa pa ng album. pwede bang hanggang videoke nalang sila with their fans? nakakasira ng credibility sa buong local music scene eh. sana ipaubaya nalang nila sa legit singers talaga na may ibubugang talent.
Deletewala naman masama sa sinabi ni lea. tama naman talaga sya dun. Nagbabayad ka lang naman ng concert tapos lip synch pa??? insulto talaga yun
ReplyDeleteSaan sa interview niya sinabi she's talking about concerts? Pssst, watch the video uli baka sakaling naintindihan mo.
DeleteTamuh!
DeleteCalling the attention of lipsynch queen toni "duling/panga" gonzaga! Lol
ReplyDeleteAray ko! Ako yata pinariringgan ni maam Lea - Sarah Geronimo.
ReplyDeletekelan ng lip synch c Sarah G sa concert niya!??? mahiya ka sa pinagsasabi mo!
DeleteDi lang lip synch ang isyu sayo, wala kang originality. Poor copycat ka pa ng international artists.- Lea to Sarah G
ReplyDeleteYes, no originality. No own style. Gaya gaya lang. Kahit sa elimination ng American Idol di papasa. Sasabihin sa karamihan ng mga singers dito, karaoke style lang.
Deletenasobrahan ka ata sa ampalaya at sobrang bitter mo Kay SG! dinamihan mo pa tlaga hate comments mo ha!
Deletei don't think sasabihin 'to ni lea kay sarah..in the first place hindi papayag si lea na maging coach sa the voice na nandun din si sarah...konting isip naman..may ibubuga rin naman si sarah kahit papaano
DeleteHoy ah hindi naglilip synch si Anne. Live yung mga makabasag pinggan niyang boses sa concert. haha
ReplyDeleteThe Queen B already had an exprience of lip-synching so it's not a big deal. Unless, you do it every now and then just like Toni Gonzaga and Daniel Padilla. Major concert na nga, lip-synch pa at tawag nila sa sarili nila ay "singers". Buti pa nga sina Anne at Vice, kahit papaano, live kung live, kahit tawag nila sa sarili nila ay "performers".
ReplyDeleteSa akin okay lang mag-lip sync basta wag sa concert. Di ka naman nagbayad para makarinig lang ng recording.
ReplyDeleteTamaan na ang sinumang matatamaan, pero totoo ang sabi ni Lea.
ReplyDeleteTinamaan din siya kasi nag-lip sync rin siya noon, okay?
DeleteShe's inggit sa mga may concert na fake singers. Laos ka na so pls shut up Lea. Your opinion is welcome, but not your smug look when being interviewed.
Deletemagaling si ms lea and we should commend her for that but her comment s are mostly super brash bordering on disrespectful or insensitive remember her views on marriange! but i think most of what she says are to marjet herself so she can appeal to a younger generation
ReplyDeleteLea is lea. Also, listen to how she answered that RL-Anne question- balanced and fair. At least she doesn't pander to anyone. Whatever she said about lip synching, girls and gays, she's earned it.
ReplyDeleteCONFIRMATION na nakapag lip-sync na si Ms. Lea. She even wrote the article herself. Article sa inquirer Hanapin n'yo na lang po. "I sang at the Asian Games in December 2006; my prerecord was done the previous July. So yeah, I’ve done it, and there’s no doubt that I can carry a tune. For that event, I had to stand many, many feet above the ground on an elevated platform with a nice breeze blowing. I was terrified and extremely nervous; I was thankful that I was required to lip-synch. I also prerecorded “A Whole New World” with Brad Kane for the 65th Oscars in 1992. We were prepared to sing live. But during the rehearsal, the forklift that was supposed to raise our magic carpet was too loud. The noise bled into our body mics; we had no choice but to employ the recording."
ReplyDeleteO ayan FYI , di sya nagmamalinis requirement tlga!!!
DeleteOperative words: required, no choice. Apparently, she wasnt talking about these exceptions.
ReplyDeleteEven though. She still did it. She could've turned them down if she was being required to lip-sync. SHE STILL HAD A CHOICE. Specially yung sa Asian Games pwedeng-pwede nya tanggihan. Pero yung sa 'A Whole New World' mahirap i-turn down since she was the original singer of the female part.
DeleteGrabe kayo naman maka-react! Wala naman siyang sinabi na NEVER siya nag-lip sync. Saka totoo naman yung sinabi niya: kung SINGER ka, responsibilidad mo na kumanta ng LIVE hanggat maaari dahil hindi ka binabayaran para mandaya ng audience mo. Saka wala namang name-dropping na nangyari, nag-init agad mga ulo niyo.
ReplyDeleteNaku, eh di walang respeto si Leah sa karamihan ng performers sa ASAP? Bwahawhawawhawh.
ReplyDeleteMaam Lea, unawain niyo po ako. Mahirap po kasi talaga para sa akin ang mga kanta ng foreigners sa matataas na parte kaya nili-lipsync ko na lang po sa ASAP at Sarah G Live. Ahihihi -Sarah G
ReplyDeleteOne singer who ALMOST never lip-synch even when her voice is at its worst condition ---> Regine Velasquez
ReplyDeleteAno kaya masasabi dito ni adam lambert
ReplyDeleteLea Salonga for me, even though she's frank, outspoken and haughty for some people right here, I believe she's a feisty person with class. Kung ina-admire ang mga prangka't palaban na wala namang breeding, sana bigyan naman ng galang si Lea kahit papano, dahil may katotohanan naman ang mga pinagsasabi niya, eh.
ReplyDeleteoo si regine v. never nag lip sync pero utang na loob binababoy rin niya yung lyrics ng song. sa tagal na niya anging singer bakit di pa rin niya maayos ayos yung mga lyrics ng kanta.
ReplyDeleteI think Lea was referring to singers who lypsinc in their concerts
ReplyDeleteDamn it, hahaha, kakaasar ang mga tao. Why are you slamming down lea salonga - it's leah freaking salonga! - for stating an opinion? Wala ba siyang karapatan magsabi ng gusto niya? It's not arrogance at work with her, she's sincere, she's honest. she works unbelievably hard. her achievements have never been topped. she's entirely on a class of her own. please, before we assume something about someone, before we say something, let's really really think about it. because i hate the fact that someday, she might read this and feel even a smidgeon of hurt, feel even a tiny bit upset. nobody deserves to be talked about this way, talked badly about. why are you even wasting time saying something bad about someone you don't even know? if you've got nothing good to say, just don't say anything. di ba? iba yung level ng quality ng work ethic ni lea salonga. if you've seen all her shows, the sheer dedication and hard work she puts in, you'd see someone professional, who loves her job, who's
ReplyDeleteI agree! I met her once and she is really humbleand simple. I guess only people with class can appreciate her.
Delete4:15, I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! Alam ng matatalino kung gaano karespe-respetong tao si Ms. Lea!!!!!!!!!!
