to all of you here, dont take anyone for granted... because you'll never know when you're gonna loose them...
the famous line from the movie Glitter or the famous line from the Never too Far music video, starred and sung by Mariah Carey from the movie and album of the same title. Mariah Carey plays Billie Frank, a shy, young mixed-race girl who is sent away by her alcoholic mother at a very early age. At an orphanage, she befriends Louise (Da Brat) and Roxanne (Tia Texada). Flash forward to 1983. Billie and her friends are spotted by a record producer, Timothy Walker (Terrence Howard), who wants them to sing backup for his latest pop-music discovery. But when super DJ Dice (Max Beesley) hears Billie's incredible voice, he makes a shady deal with Timothy to get her out of that dead-end situation. Soon, Billie and Dice are making hits inside the studio, and falling in love outside of it. Eventually, the pressure of her newfound celebrity puts too heavy a strain on Billie, forcing her to decide what it is she really wants from Dice, and what she wants for herself.
ok i know that this was movie back on 01, but i just remembered this movie when i listened to the OST. and i remembered that line on her madison square garden concert. yes, i agree with her, we should always reinforce to our loved ones how important they are to us. in the movie Billie who as much as she wanted tried and could not. things got really complicated till it was too late. if you'd ask me she just neglected it. but there's always a rainbow after the storm... Mariah is just like Billie in the movie, mixed raced and was not able to make sure that important man in her life knows she's sorry and she loves him in Glitter, it would be love interest Dice and in real life her father Alfred Roy... Mariah did get through the rain as her charmbracelet suggest reason why her new album is called Emancipation of Mimi which coincidetally sounded like Lauren Hill's way over the past album Emancipation of Lauren...
There's definitely chances given to everyone not just to Billie Frank or Mariah Carey. God has given awful lot of chances and I'll make sure I dont waste it... ü
regine did not commit the same mistake billie did. she made sure she thanked everyone she has worked with and is working with. regine is still close ties with manager for 15 years Ronnie Henares, unlike Billie who's in bad blood with Timothy or Mariah with Tony Motala. regine was like billie in a sense she started in scratch. i have followed regine's career and well was there in her anniversary concert. i remember her saying that night "...sabi nila sa akin, di raw ako sisikat kasi di ako marunong mag english... look at me now", regine was definitely bad in english her first concert in makati was almost a flop when she all over with her spiels and decided to just do her thing in adlibs in filipino. her anniversary concert was actually my dream concert that she'd make, sing her hits, reminisce her all that has gone through. she never sang with that much of a heart before and i felt her being very thankfull and touched every minute of the show. i enjoyed every song, i didnt even mind if the arrangement was changed or not. i recall regine saying that she could not sing her old hits and that she felt that her voice has already deteriorated. but when she sang "what kind of fool am i", "a light of a million mornings", "sana maulit muli" and ofcourse "love me again" which was the first song she sang as an artist, not a contestant in a singing contest. i enjoyed her medley of contest pieces for asian music festival "in your eyes", "and im telling you" and "you'll never walk alone". regine definetly deserves her 20 years and maybe even more... ü
carpe diem...
