Oliver Oliveros


Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez delivered a powerful solo performance in a product launch cum free mini-concert held at the SM Mall of Asia on Friday night August 28, 2009. The occasion launched the singer/actress as HERBENCH’s newest endorser, and her two new scents branded as Reigne and Songbird.

Wearing a purple sequined and feathered full-length evening dress, Velasquez told her audience that she personally took part in the development of scents Reigne and Songbird. Reigne has a touch of sophistication but of a more pronounced charm of floral and fruit combined. On the other hand, Songbird has floral and powdery feel to it symbolic of daintiness that is light enough for everyday use.

Reigne is enclosed in a purple box while Songbird is in pink. These new scents are now available on limited edition at BENCH, HERBENCH, SUPERBENCH, BENCH BODY, and BENCH TO GO branches in the Philippines.

Spotted at the product launch turned into a nearly one-hour concert were BENCH’s Ben Chan and Jojo Llamson, BE BENCH’s Ron Morales, talent manager Arnold Vegafria with talent Jay-R who hosted the launch, GMA Network’s Next Big Male Star Geoff Taylor, and singer/songwriter and Velasquez’ boyfriend Ogie Alcasid.

HERBENCH's perfume and cologne lines have been in the market for over a decade now.

Regine Velasquez Finds Hermes Bag Too Pricey!

by Alex Valentin Brosas



Like any fashion savvy woman, Songbird Regine Velasquez dreams of owning an Hermes bag.



What’s stopping her from getting one? Its prohibitive price.

“Sobrang mahal kasi, parang it’s ridiculous [na to buy one],” Velasquez explained during a chinwag with Manila Bulletin Online last Aug. 23 “Are You the Next Big Star?”, the grand night, was held.

Regine said that she nearly bought one as a "birthday gift to myself" last April but changed her mind at the last minute.



“Dinonate ko na lang ‘yong kalahati ng pambili sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo. At yung kalahati, ibinili ko ng tatlong Louis Vuitton [bags],” she said.

According to Regine, her boyfriend singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid kids her about the pricey bag.




“Sabi niya sa akin, “Ibibili kita, pero wala na tayong kuryente, ‘yong pool natin, wala nang blue yung water...[at] wala ka nang driver,” Regine said.

Frencheska Farr and Geoff Taylor are GMA-7's Next Big Stars!

From pep.ph/gmaseven.blogspot

After weeks of intense singing battles and grueling eliminations in Are You The Next Big Star?, GMA-7 has found two more big stars worthy to be included in its talented roster. Francheska Farr, 16, and Geoff Taylor, 23, emerged as the winners of the original reality singing contest, beating an elite crop of 14 others to win the title.

Are You The Next Big Star? featured a talented "Circle of 16"—a group of young singers who auditioned from around the country. Two contestants were eliminated every week, as decided by the combined points from SMS voting and the scores from judges. Only one male and one female contestant can become the Next Big Star.

The reality show was hosted by Regine Velasquez and Keempee de Leon. Judges included Pops Fernandez, Danny Tan, Mon Faustino, Annie Quintos, and Vernie Varga. Randy Santiago, another contest judge, was absent during the finale.

Only six contestants made it to the show's finale, held last night, August 23, in GMA-7's Studio 7. Tondo-native Jay Perillo, 20, and Las PiƱas resident Zyrene Parsad, 23, were eliminated after the finale's second round. Meanwhile, Bulacan councilor Alex Castro, 23, and Antipolo resident Camille Cortez competed during the third round.

Next Big Stars Frencheska and Geoff were each awarded P1 million in cash from SM Supermalls, a brand new condo unit from Avida Towers, New Manila, a recording deal with GMA Records, an exclusive management contract with GMA Artist Center, and P100,000 worth of clothes from Danny Tan and Pepsi Herrera.,

The two were also given a chance to record their victory songs, composed by the show's musical director Raul Mitra and wife Cacai Velasquez-Mitra. Geoff, who previously lost in the first season of ABS-CBN's Pinoy Dream Academy, was given "Heto Na," while Francheska, a former performer from the popular stage show Wanders, was given "Show Must Go On."

GMA-7's Senior Vice President for Entertainment Wilma Galvante awarded the title. Network executives present in the finale show were VP for GMA Talent Development and Management Ida Henares and GMA Records Officer in Charge Rene Salta.

Relatives and fans of the finalists were also present in the audience, each wearing color-coded shirts correspoding to their bet—pink for Zyrene, orange for Francheska, purple for Camille, yellow for Alex, red for Jay, and black for Geoff.

Special guests included Ogie Alcasid, Basil Valdez, Kuh Ledesma, Kyla, Joey G. of Side A, Jett Pangan of The Dawn, Renz Verano, Julia Clarete, Maricris Garcia, Gian Magdangal, Geneva Cruz, and Marc Tupaz of Shamrock. Eva Castillo also sang a Whitney Houston duet with Regine Velasquez.

The top 16 also performer the song "Stand Up" with the show's judges.

ROUND ONE. During the first two rounds of the show's finale, finalists were paired to perform with an already established singer. Judges were not allowed to post comments in these rounds, unlike the previous episodes.

The girls sang first during round one.

Zyrene, who previously hosted a morning show in NBN 4, sang "Sino ang Baliw?" with Kuh Ledesma. Camille, a lounge singer, sang the Bon Jovi classic "Bed of Roses" with Renz Verano. Francheska ended the set with the song "I Finally Found Someone" with Joey G. of Side A.

When Regine asked composer and Next Big Star judge Danny Tan who won the girls' Round One, he did not hesitate to say Francheska's name.

During the round one of the boys, meanwhile, Jay performed first, singing the song "Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo," with veteran balladeer Basil Valdez. Next was Alex with Ogie Alcasid, singing the Eraserheads' eternal hit "Huling El Bimbo." Last to sing was Geoff with Jett Pangan, performing Journey's "Open Arms."

Singer and judge Vernie Varga chose Alex as the best singer of the round.

ROUND TWO. Contestants were given another round to showcase their singing prowess.

First to sing was Francheska, who performed with R&B Princess Kyla. Next up was Zyrene, who sang Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" with Pinoy Pop Superstar Season 3 winner Maricris Garcia. Last was Camille, who sang Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone" with Eat Bulaga! host and Rock Diva Julia Clarete.

Musical director and judge Mon Faustino chose Camille as the round's winner.

For the boys' round, Geoff sang first with Geneva Cruz, performing "What About Love." Jay then sang Heart's "Alone" with Philippine Idol runner-up Gian Magdangal. Last to sing was Alex, who performed Bon Jovi's "I'll Be There For You" with Marc Tupaz of Shamrock.

When judge Pops Fernandez chose Alex as the round's winner, a mixture of boos and jeers erupted from the audience. Most of the people in the audience thought Jay, the crowd favorite, gave a better performance. The audience was also surprised when Jay was eliminated with Zyrene after the first two rounds.

FINAL ROUND. For the final round, contestants were allowed to compete with a song of their choice. Their fate also rested on the judges, because text vites will not anymore be included.

First up was Alex, who chose to perform Rivermaya's youth anthem "Awit ng Kabataan." He rocked the stage, complete with back-up dancers, and received a general applause from the audience.

Geoff, meanwhile, chose to be mellow with Southborder's "Kahit Kailan." The audience instantly admired the young singer's performance, cheering him on when he hit the famous high note in the song's bridge.

The girls' battle, on the other hand, turned into a battle of sexiness when both chose sexy dance songs.

Camille chose Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana," singing it while grooving with her backup dancers. Her fast arrangement of the song draw the audience to cheer for her.

It was obvious, however, that Francheska won the round for her song "Queen of the Night." Her slow and soulful arrangement, which gradually developed to a dance track, showcased her charm and singing power.

The two new kapuso Next Big Stars are now all set to conquer the world of showbiz.
