Sarah Geronimo – I Want to Know What Love Is MV w/ lyrics

—–

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I’m older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Can’t stop now, I’ve travelled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I’m gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I’ve got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
I can’t stop now, I’ve travelled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let’s talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I’m feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

I wanna know what love is, let’s talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is…

Viktoria – Fpop Queen of the MTV Generation in the ’90s

I think I’m going to use Fpop term from now on, purely for convenience ’cause it’s easier to type. Hahaha!  Seriously, I haven’t heard people refer to Filipino pop as Fpop.

In the early ’90s, Viktoria is probably one of the few artists (in the Philippines) who has done many MVs.  Where is she now?  There hasn’t been any news on her for the last few years.  I wish and hope she comes back.  If she doesn’t want to perform anymore, maybe she can compose songs for the other artists.   I think she’s good ’cause she experiments and doesn’t stick to pop ballads only.  Gary V can compose for other artists, too.  His fast/dance songs are good, too.  I can’t recall any other composers/singers who are like them.  Maybe there are more but I don’t know anybody else.  Hmmm.  Oh well… I was just a kid back then.

So speaking of Viktoria, I did some researching and found her MVs.

Viktoria, please come back!!  Help OPM.  I’m tired of remakes!

Jpop, Kpop and the Almost Non-Existing Fpop

Right now I’m into Jpop.  I like Namie Amuro.  The MV I posted is old but I like it so I’m not going into uber critic mode other than say, “It’s so American-ish.”   So someone’s going to say, “She’s Japanese. Why can’t she sing Japanese music?”   Do you mean all those songs you hear in anime?  Please… don’t be so narrow-minded.  This comment is also directed to Filipino, Korean and other Asian artists being that they “copy” American music.  Music is universal (and that’s cliche so all people should already know that).  Music is an expression.   They like the melody, rhythm, beat etc. and they like the lyrics to be in a certain language and sometimes mixed (is it called Engrish?).  Some people like it, some people don’t.  Do you have to be American/British/any nationality to appreciate music? To sing American et. al. songs?  NOT!

I got to be honest, I wasn’t really that thrilled with Korean and Japanese music.  All I know is that the theme songs of the KDramas are good (sounds heartbreaking though) and I like anime songs (especially Naruto opening and closing credits themes).  But lately I’m discovering Asian music (I really have to force myself!).  I’m not regretting it though because I’m having fun.  I certainly had fun watching some of the vids and live performances in youtube.  So now, I know that there are really annoying Korean artists, not themselves per se but based on what they did in the vids (ultimately themselves if I watched them in several vids and they are still annoying) and there are some who looked really fake.  Luckily I found DBSK!  I made fun of their clothes (didn’t comment on it on youtube, just kept it to myself).  Jaejoong needs to have a new stylist, same as with Yunho…. okay… all of them.. nyahahaha..  Ahermmm…. Let’s forget about my little outburst there because I really like DBSK.  All of them.  Another group I like is Big Bang or Bigbang.. whichever.  Because of one video that sounds like trance music.  It’s their latest, I think.  (If someone would give me the title of the song, thanks!)

I first heard of Utada Hikaru then I saw names of Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki in forums.  Like I said above, I like Namie Amuro.  Utada Hikaru also.  Arashi is fun but too bubblegum for me.   L’arc-En-Ciel–  I like (they’ re JRock, I know..).

I referred to Fpop as almost non-existent because Filipino pop artists tend to concentrate on ballads. They are really good but I want them to record pop/rnb songs.  They can really sing this genre, but so far few have released records.  I’m so frustrated!
