First of all, this blog is not new to me. (And to the people who have followed my blogs way back 2004 when I first featured people I see - either on competitions on TV, or doing front covers on concerts, or performing locally on local bars - who have those talent that should be heard nationwide - and even internationally.)
On the original blog, I first featured talents that I saw on TV - usually those who are joining various competitions (I was on my senior year at STI - Baguio then. Sa computer room pa ako gumagawa noon - libre eh!). Matunog na yung Starstruck noon - the artista search competition where a hundred people was trimmed down until the final 14 was selected and then every week, one of them have to bid goodbye to the show. That was where I featured Jennylyn Mercado. She wasn't that good in acting before but her talent in singing was awesome. She outlasted the 13 finalists when it comes to singing. Then came Starstruck Kids wherein I have featured Bea Binene. She didn't win as the ultimate survivor but looking up to the present, she is again watched on TV while the others are missing.
Anyway, that was just a preview of my old blog. This blog entitled "D' Road to Fame" is the same as the old one but with new faces, new beginnings, new talents. I have been watching Diz Iz It (A pre-noontime variety show at GMA) ever since it started (only there are months that I can't watch episodes of the show most especially when I am on morning shift at work which is 7am to 3pm and on graveyard shift from 11pm to 7am) and too good that I have reached episodes before the Diz Iz It Battle of Champions. I've watched the 8 finalists perform and it came to my mind to revive this blog especially when Shivaker mentioned that everyday the finalists will sing different themes. This will show the versatility of the finalists. It was after the finals then that I decided to push through with this blog (again). I will be updating this blog until the time comes that the people I will be featuring here would someday be on my Mp3 playlist and their performances on my DVD collections.
