I just have to post this while it’s still fresh. I was in my sis’ room fiddling with the dogs, when ASAP showed Toni (spelling?) Gonzaga, the Coke Girl, and this other artist (model?)
Toni is pretty good! Doing a Mariah Carey and actually delivering the goods!
That Coke Girl however sucked. This is exactly why I don’t take voice-timbre that seriously, because there are people who sound really good, but are too limited in their style. Suffice to say that the Coke Girl should really stick to singing sweet songs. No belting, no R&B, nothing else.
The Filipino’s are generally a music-inclined people. Most Filipino’s know good music when they hear it – regardless if they themselves are good or not. Which is why there are soooooo many people you will come across with the “killer” voice – it’s simply a natural standard we probably develop as a people. So there’s bound to be at least one great sounding person in your life – be it a friend, a family member, a choirmate, etc.
In fact, there are too many nice sounding voices out there that it can get quite dull listening to the same “ballady” voice everywhere in all artists (with exceptions of course). I guess It’s a cultural thing to prefer such a sound, and it’s getting really old, really quick… or maybe it’s just me listening to too much diverse music.
