This is <em>exactly<\/em> why I don&#8217;t take <em>voice-timbre<\/em> 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&#038;B, nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>The Filipino&#8217;s are generally a music-inclined people. Most Filipino&#8217;s know good music when they hear it &#8211; regardless if they themselves are good or not. Which is why there are <em>soooooo<\/em> many people you will come across with the &#8220;killer&#8221; voice &#8211; it&#8217;s simply a natural standard we probably develop as a people. So there&#8217;s bound to be at least one great sounding person in your life &#8211; be it a friend, a family member, a choirmate, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there are <em>too<\/em> many nice sounding voices out there that it can get quite dull listening to the same &#8220;ballady&#8221; voice everywhere in <em>all<\/em> artists (with exceptions of course). I guess It&#8217;s a cultural thing to prefer such a sound, and it&#8217;s getting really old, really quick&#8230; or maybe it&#8217;s just me listening to too much diverse music.<\/p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>I guess that&#8217;s why artists like Paolo Santos made it. His voice isn&#8217;t great (and I&#8217;m already being very polite in saying that) but he <em>can<\/em> work a stage, and beyond the <em>not-so-pleasant<\/em> facade, he is a decent performer (compared to the other &#8220;artists&#8221; that are making it to the industry). He&#8217;s no Nyoy or Noel, but he holds his own. And considering he has a 0% advantage vocally, physically, and musically over the other two  (and a whole lot more) &#8211; then he must be doing something right to stay in the game.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always admired that part of him. Though even I catch myself dissing him when in my &#8220;moments of criticism,&#8221; and he may be &#8220;past his prime.&#8221; But I will never deny the fact that he did deserve to be where he was &#8211; no matter what other people may think.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just have to post this while it&#8217;s still fresh.
