[hanee]

Filipinas are good singers, but that article is just plain racist.

Then again I won't say that Blacks are the best singers. Remember, genius knows no country. You can possibly find talent anywhere in this world. You just have tap them well.

This'll be a bad thread with debates and stuff so I hope someone closes this ASAP

i agree with you...
you say no racist comments, but the article itself is racist...
tsk tsk tsk
---
ah and im a really big charice fan, but people are getting way too obssessed with her, yea she has a nice voice, but i do think that she needs more practice to even be close to professional singers. shes REALLY REALLY good for an amatuer, but still comparing her with professional singers, like beyonce..
i guess its to particular peoples likings but i feel like asian people are being really biased because charice is asian =x
just my opinion~

[marshmellow]

There are blacks who can't sing, and then there are some who can.
And then there are also some Filipinos who can sing, and then others who can't.


Race has nothing to do with it.

[milk tea!]

I hear filipinos are stereotypically raised surrounded with the arts: playing an instrument, dancing, drawing/painting/etc, singing, and so on and so forth.

[ahreum]

lol, i don't know if i read it correctly, but isn't it JUST someone's opinion?

let's face it, people are stupid. they don't really know what they're talking about when posting up online.

it's not like this is a fact that was televised and said by the president.
this was an opinion posted on a little website that'll only be found if someone is bored and searching.

[kissez*]

The way I see it, like I've said before, you're still really really hung up on the Charice VS Min issue.

There are probably thousands of other meaningless articles out there
dealing with the same racist issues.
It's annoying as heck to no end; I understand that.
Believe me, I've had my share of frustration with the Desperate Houswives fiasco.

This particular article, to us Filipinos it's embarassing, to black girls like you it's frustrating and offensive.

The point of this thread is to what?
Bring more attention to this immatiruty?

Wow and YOU'RE still hung up on the Desperate Housewives issue.
The PURPOSE of this thread was to discuss the topic at hand. It's what we do in a forum - find topics of interest and discuss them with others.

^

why should she be lucky to be on a show with them? they're a bunch of b level celebrities..if anything..they should be happy that someone with that much talent shared the stage with them.

Lol, SuperJunior may be just a bunch of "b" level, talentless hacks (and I say that with love) but Charice isn't even on the MAP yet. So what does that make her? A "d" level celeb?

[d a y.b r e a k]

WOW. That sure did catch my attention.
but to be honest - some of you guys are taking this far way to serious.
its just some gossip site.
ranting on and on about it wont do anyone any good.
let those people think whatever they want,
but at the end of the day - the whole world knows they're wrong.

STILL -
race has nothing to do with anyones talents.

[Storytime]

IMO, the article was an editorial. The writer mentioned several times it was his/her opinion. So whether it's absurd or not, it's not something we should take seriously.

[Mz-Descamento86]

imma keep it all the way real withcha! my dad is filipino and my mom is jamaican and im sorry but growing up around my black side of my family for most of my life i can honestly say that their is nothing like a black woman's voice when she sings.

i mean black women sing with this soul and passion; i know some OF YOU wouldnt understand and im not going to take my time out to explain.

BUT

whoever wrote that article was probably watching tv and saw all the beautiful black women who were r&b singers such as mary j. blige, beyonce, alicia keys, jill scott, mariah carey, aretha franklin, diana ross, chaka khan, gladys knight, jennifer holiday SHOULD I GO ON? LOL they saw them and that person got jealous.

and to answer something from that article what makes people think that black female singers dont give props to other women who sing their genre of music? joss stone has gotten hella props from black artists and teena marie.

man why cant people just leave blacks out of $h*t? damn

I don't get it.. Why are people questioning this thread and saying such things.. The point of the thread is to discuss it? Duhh.. What are forums for? It's a place to talk and discuss about things, no? If you don't like it and thinks it's only bringing more attention to immature topics, then stop responding to the thread.

Anyways.. to say flilipinas have better voices than black girls just because charice has a better voice than jennifer hudson and things like that.. that is very ignorant of whoever wrote that topic ..

[expressway.]

WOW. the title just caught my eye, but really, this isnt worth wasting three minutes
of your life over. It's some gossip sight & no one's paying any attention to it. Opinions
are opinions & the whole world would be chaotic if 10,000+ people fight over what 1
person should believe.

[lalaleidy]

relaz guys.! :]

Americans are good Singers. Black are good Singers. Asians are good Singers.Filipinas are good Singers.
Seriously, it has nothing to do with race. ITS ALL ABOUT TALENT. Not all Filipinas have good voice as well as other race. So c'mon. Let's not make this world more complicated than it already is.

[specificeyeliner]

WHAT!? How can someone generalize something like that? You just can't say one race sings better than the other! It doesn't matter what race you are, vocal talent comes in all races. Who wrote that article anyways?

But thanks for sharing this anywho[; It's interesting to know some peoples opinons .. no matter how out of this world they can be.

[xiam9]

Wow and YOU'RE still hung up on the Desperate Housewives issue.

If you were just trying to piss me off, then way the go, your level of maturity has gone passed
the scale.


I simply parellelling the situation to this one, and I was not the one who started that thread fyi.
Also the fact that it was an article and not a blog account like this one.
There wasn't even any implications that I was not over that issue.

The topic starter however was too obvious on her part.
She practically owned the min vs charice thread and what a coincidence this is
that she found an article that jus happened to mention charice's name.
This wouldn't have gone quite out of hand for me if it wasn't for that fact.
It's just too laughable for me. Denial is never a good thing.

I'm really just done with this.
I don;t want to argue nor cause any.
My english is not very good, and I have a hard time expressing myself.
In all honesty I don't want to embarass myself further, if I've had.

[age_of_aquarius]

after reading some posts that Lucasbunny had posted about pinays singers in different threads on soompi, i have come to think that lucasbunny dislikes PINAY singers.

here's a post that she posted on charices thread on the 'other celeb' section

Charice is not all people make her out be
and she isnt the first person who growled her way through that Jennifer Holiday song
Everyone loved Jennifer Hudson after she sang it for dream girls....but who really talks about Jen now that DG is over???
she stretches her voice too much, just like that so called Korean Mariah Carey.

Sure she can cover songs
but can she make a record??? I would like to see that happen

I bet you that Charice is going to be a flop

There are people who can sing way better than Charice who have failed
she isnt any different

then theres a post that she posted on melissa reyes thread

I think she is way overrated

she is not even as talented as people say she is...atleast IMO

I just hate how people praise Melissa R like she is mighty deity
and put her on such a sky high pedastal as if she's the best thing since sliced bread
and talk so much garbage about Asia.

I don't care if she apologized
she shouldnt have said what she said in the first place.

I'll stop talking now

i really don't know what her problem is but these are threads that are created by these artists fans.. of course they're going to praise them and put them on a pedestal. just like any other celeb fans out there.. heh. i think lucasbunny created this tread to attack other PINAY singers. the article is obviously a retard who is stating their own opinons. it shouldnt even be taken serious in the front place.

[cindel25]

^ umm what? Where do you get that LucasBunny dislike Pinay singers on those posts cause I'm not seeing it? She is stating her opinion like so many people on soompi. You're doing the same thing people are accusing blogger of: making generalizations.

Playing the race card???

Your doing exactly what the person in that blog is doing

your generalizing

I don't dislike Charice at all, I said it before that she is talented
but people were giving to her and taking from Min in that thread.

Secondly, I will admit
I dislike Melissa R, but it has nothing to do with either one of them being Pinoy
it had to do with Melissa and her bad attitude and the things she was saying about Asia and her child

my dislike for one filipina singer doesnt represent how I feel about one race

I say the same thing about Ciara, Britney Spears, Hyori etc etc
guess I'm a huge racist

and please tell me where in this thread I attacked a pinay singer??

Stop reaching please

People telling me I'm wasting my time with this thread and getting too upset because it's an "opinion"
people make big deals over opinions all the time on soompi.

[kissez*]

If you were just trying to piss me off, then way the go, your level of maturity has gone passed
the scale.

Yes, unlike you, I know what maturity is.
I wasn't trying to piss anyone off but if I got you to leave, then cool.
You made no sense anyway and for the most part you were just talking out of your ass.
But whatever, I'll leave it at that.

after reading some posts that Lucasbunny had posted about pinays singers in different threads on soompi, i have come to think that lucasbunny dislikes PINAY singers.

Lol. Really? A few comments about two singers who just happen to be Filipino makes her a racist?
I can't effing stand Melissa R and Charice as well.
Guess I'm racist too. Or maybe it's fans like you that generates all of the negativity... you know, fans who place their artists so high on pedestals and blindly lap after them like nut-riding dogs just because you're of the same ethnicity?
Hmmmmm.

[lalaleidy]

whoa.! people please. why do you fight.? it won't change a thing, you know that.?

I don't think LucasBunny hates PINAY singers at all.
Because ASIA has a PINAY blood, too. Didn't you know that.?
[whoa.! I'm really trying to stress the pinay, ey?] The point is, let's not fight over this.
A statement of one person doesn't mean that it's true. That's her opinion. T
hat's what she thinks. Let's just respect it. Some may be hurt, even me,
after reading those I HATE PINAYS, but pff, it won't do me or any of us any good.
Okay? Let's make PEACE here, ey?


But, uhm, I like Melissa R than Asia.
She has temper sometimes. hehe

[cathyy_]

the article is obviously bullsh*t
so everyone just please shut up.
im filo myself and i find that racist to african american race.
and wtf? blacks?
some filipinos are brown too, wanna call us black too?

[understanding_fiction]

WhaaaaAAAaat the **ck? You are a downright racist to the freakin core. We know that Charice is a good singer and it isn't because of her race. She sings good because she sings good. I know of tons of filipinos who sing horribly. So if I were you, I wouldn't go around making up stereotypes like that.

~Someone needs to close this stupid thread.

um

you haven't really read the post, have you?

it's not what she wrote, it's from another site and she's DISAGREEING
