Star Wars Saga continues

Don’t we all wish that the Star Wars saga isn’t over yet. Perhaps, they can create more prequels to the prequels. But this is perhaps asking to snow in Manila. Never mind, I guess I just have to watch my dvd collection every now and again. Whilst browsing youtube video I’ve stumbled upon this Star Wars inspired video of two person, battling it out using lightsabre. Who said it can only be done by Lucas Films? It’s worth watching.

Amy Winehouse - Grammy Awards 2008

Pinoy United


Amy Winehouse had her major breakthrough over four yearS ago and she had received numerous accolades and awards since then. This year, Amy Winehouse won 2008 Grammy Awards in the categories of ‘Record of the Year’, ‘Song of the Year’, and ‘Best Female Pop Vocal Performance‘ for the single “Rehab”, while her album Back to Black won in the ‘Record of the Year’ award and a nomination for ‘Album of the Year’. She also earned a Grammy in the ‘Best New Artist‘ category. Now that’s fantastic, isn’t it?

Amy Winehouse - Winner of Grammy

It’s a shame Amy Winehouse didn’t make it in the U.S to received all those awards as her US visa petition was apparently denied. Was it due to drug addiction/drug related issues? Amy had her visa approved eventually but it was rather too late for her to travel for the Grammy Awards Night 2008 event. Instead, Winehouse performed “You Know I’m No Good” and “Rehab” at the awards ceremony on 10th February 2008 via satellite.

Journey concert in Vina del Mar Chile 2008


It was such a long wait from the time Journey announced that they have finally chosen the new lead singer, Arnel Pineda, to the date of their first ever concert. This time their Journey was in Chile.

The Journey Concert in Vina del Mar Chile 21st February 2008 was fantastic. The festival at Vina del Mar arena were they held the Journey concert was absolutely huge and completely filled. The Chilean crowd were awesome. All cheering, shouting and singing with the band. Couldn’t help myself to be jealous when I watched the Journey’s youtube video. Unfortunately, it was rather too far for me to attend. Will have to wait on Journey’s upcoming European concert tour. I’m hoping that UK will be in their list.

All eyes were with Arnel Pineda, not just in the concert but from Journey’s fans all over the world. The Journey concert at Vina del Mar in Chile was Arnel Pineda’s very first of many concert to come and he did a grand job. Very well indeed.

Here’s where Arnel Pineda of Journey sang Open Arms.

Shop Around with David Archuleta

For some reason, I don’t really like the theme on American Idol 2008. It’s the sixties tonight. But most of the singers just lacks a bit of ooomph. The song they picked were either boring or rather safe. But before I anger all you American Idol fans, I think David Archuleta sang Shop Around very well tonight. He has great potential and his age and charm will help pull all those teens votes he needs. David Archuleta just need to continue to pick a song that will make him stand out. Surely, he will go all the way until the finals on American Idol 2008.

And the judges may attempt to make this happen to influence the viewers vote. It is quite obvious that judges: Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell do like him a lot. Why not Shop Around with David Archuleta on this video:

You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me, Ramiele Malubay

Okay, this site is turning into a Ramiele Malubay fan site but who cares. Don’t you just love that little girl called Ramiele Malubay. It was the girls turn to compete in the very first American Idol 2008 semi finals in the big screen. Ramiele Malubay started off very soft and smooth but the girl just gave it all right at the end. She may not have the highest range of vocals but Ramiele is a sure fire winner, at least from most of her fans anyway:). Even high waisted and highly opinionated Simon Cowell said that

Ramiele outsang every single person in the competition.

.
But for Ramiele Malubay, the best part of the competition so far is her Hair and Make Up. Check the video and find out why:


Great voice really do come in small packages, would you agree? Do you think she stands the chance of being hailed the winner of American Idol 2008?

Steve Backley, it’s all over mate

After facing his fourth skate off on Dancing on Ice 2008, Steve Backley has finally been ousted out. Steve competed against Coronation Street actress Zaraah Abrahams during the Dancing on Ice skate off last night.

Winner of Dancing on Ice 2008?


Who do you think will be the winner of Dancing on Ice 2008? We have quite a varied mixture of contestants on this season of Dancing on Ice . As they showed off their ice skating skills over the past few weeks, I can only name about three who’s got better edge/deserves to be in the skate final. It’s a shame that GMTV reporter Michael Underwood had an accident during one of their practice session. He didn’t manage to show off his maximum potential. Michael was replaced by Zaraah Abrahams.
