Charice Reacts To Freddie Aguilar
Sponsored Links |
Forgot to publish this. This should have been published days ago. Rather belatedly, this is worth it. Charice reacts to Freddie Aguilar calling her one of the “monkeys,” the others being Journey frontman, Arnel Pineda and Mr. Pure Energy, Gary Valenciano.
Charice or her rep emailed this blog saying she would not be where she is right now if she did not sing Whitney Houston and Celine Dion’s hits when she was still a struggling singer. Charice also emphasized that Oprah Winfrey, one of the world’s most influential people, would not have noticed her if she sang Filipino songs.
“Madi-discover po ba ako kung hindi ko po kinanta ang kanta ni Ms.Whitney? ni Ms.Celine? Kung kakanta po ako ng Tagalog sa Oprah, maiintindihan po ba ni Ms.Oprah?†Charice said in her statement.
“Sila rin naman po namimili ng mga kakantahin ko po. At wala po akong magagawa doon. Dahil kahit sila po mismo, English po ang pinakakanta nila sa akin… and siyempre po iyon po ang papatok sa Amerika. Kahit naman po hindi ako kumanta ng Tagalog sa puso ko Filipino pa rin po ako,” Charice said.
Charice said she also believes that, even if she copies the styles of other international artists, no one has the right to compare her and other Filipino singers who made it in the international music scene to monkeys.
“Hindi naman po sa (dahil magaling sa) panggagaya matatawag na po tayong unggoy. Para po sa akin (ang panggagaya) ay isa iyon talento na hindi magagawa ng ibang lahi ng basta basta po.”
Despite the offhanded remark of Freddie Aguilar, Charice holds no grudge against Freddie Aguilar and still admires him and respects his opinion.




eh, c f.aguilar b sumikat s abroad?

gago, alam mo ba kung ilang bansa sumikat yung "anak"? siyempre hindi kasingsikat ni charice kasi hindi naman pa-superstar yung dating ni freddie e. mali din naman si charice na porke sa US ka ay kailang kantang kano ang kakantahin mo. Bakit, ang F4 (Sorry sabog example ko, pero totoo!) nag-e-english ba? Hindi diba? At mas lalong di sila nagtatagalog, so bakit sikat na sikat sila dito sa pinas?
bakit si freddie, nung bago pa syang folk singer e english ang kinakanta nya , parehas lang sila. may english version din sya nag "anak" na sya mismo kumanta & may translation din sa ibat ibang languages, bakit sya pumayag don? dahil malaki ibinayad sa kanya? alam nya na di sya maiintindihan ng ibang lahi ? ibig sabihin di sya tunay na nationalistic dahil pinagpalit nya sa pera yung original pilipino composition nya. pera-pera lang si freddie, di ba? ginagamit lang nya kapwa pilipino nya para sya mapansin. crab mentality yan, ganyan si freddie.
papansin lang yan si freddie A., kasi laos na
BAKIT SILA CHARICE AT ARNEL ANG INASINTA NYA AT TINAWAG NA MGA UNGGOY… BAKIT 'DI NYA INASINTA O ASINTAHIN 'YUNG MGA KAIDARAN NYANG SINGERS NA GAYA NILA RICO PUNO, HAJI ALIJANDRO, SONY PARSON, REY VALERA, MARCO SISON, NONOY SUÑIGA, CLAIR DELA PUENTE, VERNI VARGA, IVY VIOLAN AT IBA PA NA SUMIKAT NOONG DEKADA '70 AT '80… SILA RIN KAYA ANG TAWAGIN NYANG MGA MANGGAGAYANG UNGGOY, O MGA ORIGINAL NA UNGGOY NG MUSIKANG PILIPINO, DAHIL SA PAGKANTA NILA NG MGA AWITING BANYAGA (ENGLISH)…
adoy, ang pinaguusapan ay international at hindi pinas. Kilala ba ang F4 sa ibang bansa. Ni-request ba sila nang Koreano, Amerikano, at Italiano na kumanta sa kanilang top rated television shows? Kung iinbitahin ba ang F4 na magperform sa mga sikat na TV shows sa abroad at english ang kailangan nilang kakantahin papayag ba sila? Mag-isip-isip ka nga adoy.
Mang Freddie Agiw, ano po ba ang tawag ninyo sa taong gaya-gayang kumakanta ng awiting Pilipino??? Sagot: Gorilya po, tama po ba????
NO DOUBT THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE EVEN FROM OTHER COUNTRIES WHO LIKED FREDDIE AGUILAR'S SONG "ANAK".
WHAT WOULD FREDDIE AGUILAR CALL THESE PEOPLE WHO LIKED HIS MUSIC AND WOULD SING LIKE HIM??? OR IMITATE HIM?? ===>>>>MONKEYS???!!! WHAT ELSE??
YOU BETTER EAT MORE BANNAS AND THINK TWICE BEFORE MAKING SUCH COMMENTS!!!
FREDDIE AGUILAR, YOUR COMMENT IS AS GOOD AS CRITICISM TO YOUR FANS… IF THEY STILL EXISTS….
any filipino who had given a chance to show case their talent and became somewhat famous in the philippines or in any other country is a blessing. how many of us can sing like charice, arnel or ka freddie? i don't and perhaps many of us can't. what i am trying to say is….charice, arnel and freddie did their very best to do what they can to survive by singing and are rewarded financially. why would ka freddie made this kind of ugly comment? was he somehow jealous w/ charice and arnel because these two lovely people are on top of their careers and ka freddie is down below somewhere that he thinks he has been neglected or overlooked by many of us. ka freddie, you've been on top before and
couldn't be on top all the time because your time will eventually go down but not to the extent people will ignore or hate you. you should be happy for charice and arnel and for any future filipino who will succeed as well.
very well said sir.. its a matter of choice lang naman sana yan eh kung magiging orig ba or gaya ang magiging banatan ng togtogan mo basta maayos ang pagkakayari eh yun na yun. masakit isipin na sa isang kagaya pa talaga ni ka freddie manggagaling ang ganun ka-anghang na kritisismo. tatawagin mo ang kapwa mo pinoy na "UNGGOY" na gaya mo ring may talento at naghahanap buhay lang. ano ang punto nya dun? dahil ba kamo wala silang originality? kung sa pagiging patriot at pagiging pinoy sa puso at isipan eh dalawang kamay akong saludo, pero pinakamasaklap eh sa sobrang pagiging pinoy eh pari ang pagiging UTAK TALANGAKA eh nadala nya rin… tsk tsk tsk..
lolo freddie is such a losser! why? because he is so envious on what charice have now, charice was right would americans understand tagalog songs! helurr.. its 2009! im filipino and i love filipino songs.. there are a lot of filipino songs to be proud of, except one ….ANAK because the one who sung it is such a loser, idiot, bad lolo, bad person and mostly!! TANGA NO COMMON SENSE!! USE YOUR HEAD LOLO FREDDIE.. your putting down those who represents our filipino talents and represents our race… GO FILIPINOS!!!!
