KUDOS to GMA Films and Viva Films for producing “Till I Met You,” the film outfits’ first project together. It raked in a whopping P6.4 million during its opening day and may surpass the P100 million mark in its entire run.

The Regine Velasquez-Robin Padilla magic carried over to the launch of the movie’s soundtrack (under Indimusic), which contains the Songbird’s version of “Fallen,” “Don’t Go,” “Mangarap Ka” by Dennis Trillo and “Alipin” (duet with Binoe), among others. Regine was in her element during the launch. She cajoled the audience to enclose P20 in their request slips. The crowd played along. Some sent P1,000 bills and even yen!

Binoe sang live and Regine kept teasing him because, for the first time, he wasn’t off-key. Ogie Alcasid (whom Regine fondly calls “Mr. President” because he’s president of I-music and she’s the VP/treasurer) and Janno Gibbs joined them onstage. They brought the house down with their comical rendition of “Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang?” I was touched when Regine mentioned my mom’s name. “Pardon my bedroom voice. Ka-boses ko na si Ate Luds (Inday Badiday).”

She still has a sore throat after singing her heart out during her 20th anniversary concert. But that didn’t stop her from giving her all at the launch.

Enjoy ang nanood ng show ni Regine Velasquez sa Ratsky T. Morato last Friday, sabay ng launching ng soundtrack ng Till I Met You sa presence nina Robin Padilla, Janno Gibbs at Ogie Alcasid. Hindi malaman ng tao kung kaninong pangalan ang isisigaw.

May rason ang pagdating ni Robin dahil tuloy ang pagpu-promote nila ni Regine ng kanilang pelikula.

Guest naman si Janno at kinanta ang song niya sa album na Ako si Superman.

Kailangan ding present si Ogie dahil siya ang president at CEO ng Indimusic, producer at nag-release ng album na, pansin namin, ayaw paniwalaan ng audience.

Sigawan ang tao nang ihatid ni Robin si Ogie sa stage, na ikinagulat ni Regine at idinaan sa comedy ni Janno ang pagkakasabay-sabay nilang tatlo sa iisang venue at pare-pareho silang na-link kay Regine.

Kuwela ang sinabi nitong kay Regine nila itinuloy ni Ogie ang pagiging magkaribal kay Manilyn Reynes noon.

Hindi nagpahuli si Robin kina Janno at Ogie at kinanta nito nang live ang Alipin at sumabay sa tatlo na kinanta ang Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang.

Ipinarinig din ni Regine ang second single release ng album na Don’t Go, sinulat ni Viktoria.

Kumita si Regine sa show na ’yun dahil may nagbigay ng yen, dollar, peso at iba pang currency.

Ogie, Regine wagi agad sa first ‘baby’

WINNER ang unang baby nina Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid for their Indie Music label, ang OST ng Till I Met You.

Ang recording label ng mag-business partner na sina Regine and Ogie ang magri-release ng OST ng GMA Films/Viva Films hit movie na Till I Met You to be distributed by Universal Records.

Part of the deal ito ni Regine sa pelikula that she gets the OST right at ito naman ang naging unang project ng kanilang Indie Music ni Ogie.

Bongga ang album launching, through a ticket-paying concert by Regine sa Ratsky Tomas Morato last Friday kung saan hindi lang mini concert ang ginawa ng Songbird dahil napakarami niyang kinanta.

May guest pa siya, si Robin Padilla na first time yatang napakanta nang live nang mag-duet sila ni Regine for one of the cuts of the album na Alipin, si Janno Gibbs na may kanta sa album na Ako Si Superman at ang partner ni Regine na si Ogie na kahit walang kanta sa album, sing na rin dahil after all, business niya ito.

Hindi rin lugi ang album dahil may 14 cuts ito, more than the usual album na kadalasan ay 12 songs lang. Bukod sa carrier song na title rin ng movie, dito rin ang kauna-unahang release ng Darna theme song na Di Na Nag-iisa.
