ALLAN THE MAN

Finally! Jessica Sanchez received again a standing ovation from the Idol judges with her rendition of Jennifer Holliday song, "And I Am Telling You" on American Idol Top 4 Show. A great song choice for Jessica!

Her second song is "Steal Away' by Etta James. She didn't received a standing ovation for this one but judges think that she nailed it and obviously she has ridiculous vocals.
I think Jessica will be safe for tomorrow elimination. Although 'wag tayong magpakasiguro. Vote For Her HERE. For me, It's either Hollie Cavanagh or Phillip Phillips are to be voted off tomorrow. You Agree?

The 'Phil So Good' music video starting to become viral over the web. The music video starring a Frenchman singing about his love for our country, The Philippines, catches the attention of netizens over the web. 

The music video was shot on location across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It shows Drolon basking in the sun on various beaches in the country and extolling, in French and English, this "paradise on earth". Also seen in the music video is our very own Filipina Actress Rhian Ramos who did the rapping part of the song.

While the music is an upbeat mix of funk, reggae and dance pop, and lends a cosmopolitan touch to the tropical scenarios. It is composed by French writer-turned-musician Julien Drolon. 

According to his interview with Philippine Daily Inquirer, Drolon described the Philippines as the land of music in Asia. He also added that in France they don't live music the way Filipinos do.

Drolon has so far recorded six songs with an all-Filipino lineup of musicians that also serve as his regular band, including keyboardist Leal Nanca, who wrote the rap lyrics to "Phil So Good." Drolon has also worked with Noel Mendez, Jack Rufo, Rico Blanco and the band Brownman Revival.

'PHIL SO GOOD' English/Tagalog Lyrics

Paradise islands, white sand beach

Tropical jungles where tribes still live

Land of Rizal and the guitar strings

Gotta find some time to live it here

I am in the Philippines x 3

And I feel so good, so good
