Last Saturday, my future mother-in-law invited me and Leo to watch a concert with them. Even though we're not fond of the artist, we obediently watched.
As it was a benefit concert, there were other guests who performed before the star. One guest was a 9 or 10 year old child who was supposedly a product of a singing school. I knew it would be a different performance when she strutted out onstage wearing an outfit that should not be worn children her age. I suddenly sat up on my chair when she started screaming her first notes out. All three of her songs required her to stretch her vocal cords to the limit or as they say it in Tagalog, "birit".
Her songs and her spiels were also not appropriate for the audience. The audience was mostly of high society and even the star performer is not just any other star. I really pitied the child and wanted to strangle her guardians and her supposedly singing school for training their students to sing that way. Whatever happened to angelic voices? One does not have to sing ala-Regine Velasquez to impress the audience.

sabi ni nestor torre this is the influence of regine --- i therefore conclude it's regine's fault bakit ganyan kumanta ang mga bata ngayon :D hindi lang naman yang batang yan. watch those kiddie singing contests on tv.
