Inspite of us being a complete unit once more, i still feel that we have yet to reach our full potential, specially with this line-up...
i've been long wishing to get this band a really good singer/vocalist and i expected Jinky to be the one but i guess we still have a long way to go in that department... there are certain flaws that prevents her from becoming the "one"... it is in the manner in which she carries herself...
here's a slight run though of Candyaudioline vocalist and a little description of each...
Cheng - she's the first one we ever had... not really a good singer but her voice and her commanding presence on stage got things going for her... She's in Australia now...
Apol - well, she wasn't really made for Candyaudioline... she looked "preciously fragile" on stage inspite for her being a Ms. Rica Paraleja look-a-like... She bacame Soft Pillow Kisses' first vocalist and her voice was widely appreciated by everyone who's heard the song "It Will Never Last (Forever)" worldwide...
Tin Tin - she was too young when she sang for Candyaudioline... she was barely 16 i guess and she "looked her age" but she was a very very good singer... performing as a solo singer for school gigs during those days was of great use to us because she kwen how to talk to the crowd and she was really pretty... so what happened to her then... i had to take her out of Candyaudioline to pursue her studies but eventually she went into showbiz for sometime and did great doing solo shows... she didn't quite made it bigtime due to conflict of interests between her and her manager (mother)... WALANG TULUGAN!!!
Anna - She had a really beautiful but SOFT voice and she was really cute... strong stage presence and nothing more... so why is she not in the band anymore... i guess Ayn (former bassist) would contest this and would readily shout out "fallingout with me" but she (Ayn) and Anna were the first ones to fall out of each other... She now live in Canada...
Mich - one of the really best front woman that we had... very charismatic (hehehe)... she can really make the crowd listen... but we had to go separate ways due to a misunderstanding between me and her at one gig that we had at Freedom Bar... Kamusta na Kumare!!!
Selena - describe ko pa ba? Cge na nga... a really weird mix of personalities.... oftentimes she can be really commanding and confident but sometimes she let others ruin her concentration yet she never at any point lose poise on stage... she'll just do it... her leaving the band was due to a really stupid act which i've blame to myself... but that water inside the tank so to speak... I've recently watch her perform with her band (Ang Bandang Shirley) and would oftentimes stare at heaven's direction via the floor and would constantly ask my self... WHY WHY WHY...
Mavi - was a gamble of sorts... i first made her try out for Soft Pillow Kisses but i guess during that time, she wasn't really interested in being in a band... when Selena left Candyaudioline, i made a go at her again... the first rehearsal session did show signs of her being interested or maybe she was more interested in just helping me out with my situation then... she did blossomed into a really serious frontman material... she did had a great voice just as i had predicted and she was really a pretty cute sight on stage... but... but... but... i guess she's doing well right now with work...
Cuckooh - Surprisingly, she had potential... Modelling was also another thing going for her but me and my bandmates noticed that she had other things in mind... since we wanted someone who's really interested in fronting for us, we just had to let her go without her knowing...
Going back to Jinky... Confidence in the key... Maybe i'm just being impatient... She had her first gig with us last Monday at Mayrics... Singing-wise, she did very well but there were slight flaws but ignorable just the same... she still has to memorize the songs i think... so what's bothering me? Sabihin ko ba? maybe i will someday soon when she's able to shed all the shyness and uncertaities away... But here i think where the problem really is... i guess she has yet to really give an effort at letting herself lose during performance... she's always concerned at what audience might be thinking while we're performing affecting the way she presents herself... and the worse thing is... IT SHOWS...Hoy Jinky! baka naman magpa-apekto ka dito ha... uupakan kita... Just prove me wrong please... we're really counting on you... make us proud...
That's that for now...
