MTV PH Introduces MTV Buddy Jess Connely

These are signs that there is still something good out there. 

I am part of a generation who doesn't only listen to radio, or watch youtube, but one who eagerly awaits if and when an artist, a group or band finally comes out with an MTV. It's something that I often have on my TV all day because you get to see a glimpse of what it's supposed to look like when they put it on an album. Some noted celebrity jocks like Casey Kasem (bless his soul), Mike Kasem up until Donita Rose, KC Montero and others appeared on Southeast Asian MTV all became more popular because of it... and started their career with these on their resume's. I actually cried a bit when news of them closing almost ALL their regional channels happened a couple of years ago including the one in the Philippines, I thought that was impossible but they did it to survive. I felt it would be a dark era for the music industry as well because without it, making music videos would be just be futile. Also, I was more worried for local bands who got exposure there... where will they go to promote this in other countries? I was sad, really sad.

During a tv surfing session, I suddenly saw MTV PH a couple of months ago. That was great news for me, to see somehow that they're back on tv. Got invites to a small function a week ago to MTVph as they were launching their first MTV Buddy Jess Connely, I guess they don't call em jocks anymore and this all smells millenial in my books. They got her from Australia as she was doing underground urban acts in the Philippines. She's got a really good following online and is still growing. 

Jesse says "I'm excited, totally, I'll be bringing in my flavor to MTV PH, from style, to music, to events, I'll be there."

New MTV Buddy Jess is going to host a show called MTV Fuel. It's a music, lifestyle, sub culture themed show. It starts airing on September 23, on a Saturday at 8PM. They will also be doing MTV Bud Hunt - the search for the next MTV Buddies during the last quarter of this year so if you're eager to be one, they might go to your campus during the last quarter of this year, you just have to wait! 

If you want to know more about Jess and the search, head on to MTV PH on Facebook  or follow @mtvph on IG and Twitter because they're all there! Make sure you also watch them on Sky Cable Channel 71 (which I do) and Cignal Channel 151 because it's cool to do that ye know!

Missing Their Music

I wonder what happened with these three artists. Good thing there is youtube otherwise I would have died boring my self to the amuse of a couple of my enemies. I love Macy Gray and her oh so husky voice. Where else could you see a woman like this kiss a dreadlocked guy on her MTV. When all the things I watch over channel V and MYX are all Korean you kinda sit back and wonder whatever happened to those artists you love so dearly from the US. MTV decided to cut back on costs because of the crisis and those regional MTV stations were all recalled. I hate that executive decision!

If you talk about easy listening and when you dream of that perfect summer - spring day while on a journey with your bike that has a lil bell on it, you have to think of her. Corrine Bailey Ray may not be that popular here but I've got a soft spot for British acts and she is one awesome lady. If you watch her acoustic sessions with other artists from that part of the globe, you'll understand why a lot of people like her. It's sheer feel good music!

No I don't miss timbaland since he just came over with Justin Timberlake and Jojo a couple of months ago. I'm not a fan of his work but I'm a fan of those who he collaborates with. Don't you ever wonder what happened to this lady?

I kinda miss her and her awesome music. Nelly Furtado had that genre of being so mad at everything else but still wishful. Her voice is distinct and I could never mistake her music for someone else since the time she broke Pop Music to pieces... remember she went out when Britney and the others were around so she was really unique at that time!

How about you guys?! Who do you miss most? Let me know!

ELY BUENDIA: Out of the hospital! ^_^

My idol is now out of the hospital! Weeeee!

I am ecstatic! Yesterday when I watched a couple of local showbiz shows in you know where they reported that Ely is out and fine! ^_^ Weeeeeeeee!!!! Now the heavy process of not working and resting for 2 whole months is needed to recuperate from the angioplasty (that was a lil hard to pronounce!) surgery he got from Heart Center ^_^

Things are looking great from hereon... he just needs to get his medicine and checkups in tact so it won't happen again... of course the 2 month vacation is not that bad!

Now we wait until ERASERHEADS (his former band) would perform part II of the much awaited REUNION concert.... Ain't that a nice thing to know!? ^_^
