Thou we always say we pinoys are born entertainers, we have yet to start a fad or trend that is catchy. Lagi tayong nanggagaya lang.

well, OPM is nothing compared to Korea's entertainment-industrial-complex
they not only export cars and electronics... they also export pop culture
they manufacture entertainment like they manufacture goods

pa OT lang mga tsikoteers kasi the Pilipino (hindi Pinoy) can make it big indeed and profit in the process

siguro lahat naman will agree with me that talent-wise, especially sa entertainment at language, nothing beats the Pilipino. I will use Bitoy (Michael V) and Charice (Pempengco)

kaya lang, as pointed out by sweet, nanggagaya lang (ex. Charice) o di kaya nang spoof lang (ex. Bitoy sa klasik na Bathroom Dance o spoof na Bad Romance)

as pointed out by uls, the Koreans "manufacture" their brand of entertainment. saan galing ito? read Psy's biography sa wikipedia (Psy (rapper) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) -- he is not just talent, dumaan po sya sa Boston University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berklee_College_of_Music; nag-aral yung kuya

pansin nyo po, nag-aral sya sa course related sa talent nya at sa unibersidad sa USA pa! diba sabi nga ni MJ, "for the love of the game" hindi nya ramdam na trabaho ang basketball kahit na ganon ka-demanding ang NBA

hindi po ako magtataka kung meron syang elective na business course na merong technology proliferation

pansinin ulit yung biography ni Psy (Psy (rapper) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), bago sya napansin, wala naman sya sa isang major record label. so upload lang sya sa youtube -- libre pa!

nang spoof din yung kuya. pero meron din syang sariling estilo. sabi sa wikipedia

He is especially popular for his sense of humor and his unique concerts in which he imitates female singers such as Park Ji Yoon and Lee Hyori. Starting out with "Bird", the title song of his first album, Psy showed off his own style, fashion and confidence. He broke down the stereotype among K-pop music lovers that male singers have to be good-looking and be able to dance well.

so ano ang mapupulot natin kay Psy, or at least si Bitoy man lang kasi tapos sya ng Mass Comm (Michael V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) at bilib talaga ako sa kanya?

at alam din nating texting capital of the world ang Pilipinas (hindi Pinas) at kumpirmado ring social networking capital of the world
Top Facebook Users per Population: Philippines
Philippines 5th biggest Facebook nation: Users up 1.7m in a month | Asia News – Politics, Media, Education | Asian Correspondent

sana merong isang may pusong Pilipino (hindi Pinoy) na ekspert sa business/technology na makapag collaborate kay Michael V (este Bitoy). GMA sana pero malaki ang overhead nya kaya better freelance business person (kasi pwedeng man or woman) at youtube ang media outlet

sabayan ng mga reliable na Pilipinong manood ng bagong project ni Bitoy, eventually mapapansin sya sa USA mainstream. pwede rin sigurong bulongan ni Charice si Ellen or Ophra na i-endorse or invite si Michael V

not about Psy but Kpop in general

manufactured entertainment

The Chosun Ilbo (English Edition): Daily News from Korea - Has Manufactured K-Pop Run Its Course?

Has Manufactured K-Pop Run Its Course?

June 10, 2010 was a momentous day for Korean pop music. A large-scale live concert of K-pop stars like Girls' Generation, Super Junior, SHINee and f(x) was staged in Paris, and some had high hopes that this would mean the Korean Wave had splashed beyond Asia into the wider world.

There have since been some 260 K-pop concerts in the West, from New York via Barcelona and Berlin to Santiago de Chile, according to Korea Creative Contents Agency. But is K-pop really moving in the right direction?

Some industry sources believe the focus on manufactured bands is losing its luster. Singer Kim Chang-wan said, "Those who are leading the Korean Wave are professionally trained bands manufactured by mega management agencies. Most of them sing the same way in similar productions and tend to launch their careers abroad. Their goals are far too commercial."

Another problem is there are no notable newcomers to succeed Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, Kara, and 2NE1, who have been leading the K-pop's sweep abroad. Music critic Kim Zakka said, "Many groups and singers like Lee Seung-gi and IU launched their career in Japan, but the result was underwhelming. If there are no charismatic newcomers, K-pop could regress into a niche market."

Others say the K-pop PR machine has failed to introduce the variety of Korean pop music to the wider world. Roh Jun-seok at Korea Creative Contents Agency points out that manufactured bands account for just 10 percent of the U.S. pop market, but some 90 percent of Korean musicians who have launched their career overseas are manufactured bands. "It's not surprising that K-pop is losing its appeal after 10 years of that," he added.

Core Contents Media CEO Kim Kwang-soo, who manages T-ara, said, "In Japan, where K-pop has been very popular, we're now seeing bands who resemble Korean ones with their pretty looks and good singing skills. Only K-pop singers who can distinguish themselves from foreign groups of similar style will be able to survive the competition."

Nam ***-jeong, a former head of MBC's Music Center, said, "Although nobody intended it, there is now a strong impression that K-pop equals manufactured bands. We should be showcasing a greater variety of music, more individual character and greater sincerity."

Some believe that Korean musicians can only succeed abroad if they play not only in big, meticulously planned concerts but also smaller, more informal gigs.

Kim Chang-wan said, "The K-pop scene has been excessively dominated by manufactured bands. We need to create an environment where musicians with individual character and music can flourish, like Lady Gaga."

And Kim Zakka points out that there is governmental organization in Japan which makes sure that Japanese indie musicians are heard in various parts of the U.S. "That's what we need in Korea as well."

To all the haters, let us just take the song for what it is. A fun tune people can dance to without even understanding the lyrics.

sabi pa nga dito (#GangnamStyle – Creating online audiences even-though they don’t understand a single word | Social media in the public sector), eh pang S. Korea lang talaga

so bakit nagka interes ang mga nasa kanluran?

kasi interesado ang ibang lahi malaman ang kultura ng iba. baka sawa na sila sa araw-araw nilang nakikita. kaya karamihan din naman ng sumisikat sa internet ay short-lived din lang

para mapanatili ang kasikatan, dapat lagi silang "in", kakaiba or adoptable. classic example siguro si Madonna, walang kakupaskupas. malalaos na si Britney nandyan pa si Madonna

[uls]

let's say you're a music label

you know what the public wants... the public wants to watch a bunch of young good looking boys (or girls) singing and dancing

so you gather a bunch of young, good looking boys (or girls) from all over the country. you pick the ones you think will appeal to the public. train them. form a boy (or girl) band. sell them to the public. a manufactured band. that's Kpop

[dfopiso]

^^ pls dont hate Psy or Gangnam Style

he just showed us a template on how to make it big in the world stage, in the world arena. pero syempre dapat meron ding ibubuga, talented din dapat; gaya ni Bitoy

sabi nga ni Tomas Friedman, the world is now flat (ulit!)
The World Is Flat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Is Flat | Thomas L. Friedman

so tama sa ngayong panahon yung sinabi during the ancient times

[uls]

teka lang, sino hating?

[stickers]

naging patok dahil dance moves yan ni vice ganda.. takbong kabayo style.

[ZENMasterTYL]

oppa gangnam style, wok wok, wok. kpop trance/house. naka 6 na ulit nako sa video

[uls]

hahaha the world is flat

people still take that book seriously?

[dfopiso]

^^ though sabi sa Psy (rapper) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[Psy] describes himself as not following the K-pop mold.

because [Psy] broke down the stereotype among K-pop music lovers that male singers have to be good-looking and be able to dance well.

i think kopya din nya si Francis M though sa wikipedia sabi influences nya sila Eminem, Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z and Dr. Dre

excited lang talaga ako para kay Bitoy

[dfopiso]

teka lang, sino hating?

sabi kasi ni otep, haters daw?

tama ba otep?

[ZENMasterTYL]

[dfopiso]

yung Bagsakan ng Parokya, et. al showcased also the talented Pilipino

kaya lang since rap, i-claim lang ng mga taga kanluran na sa kanila galing iyon

daming talented Pilipino! kailaingan lang mahanap yung sariling atin, na hindi spoofed or ginaya

naalala ko tuloy si Eskalera. dapat nag patulong na lang sya sa another Eskalera brother (Joey) -- galing din na writer diba

[ZENMasterTYL]

[dfopiso]

hahaha the world is flat

people still take that book seriously?

btw i used T. Friedman kasi wikipedia said The World Is Flat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title is a metaphor for viewing the world as a level playing field in terms of commerce, where all competitors have an equal opportunity.

ganon ang Gangnam diba? ganon sa youtube. look where Psy is now

so Bitoy could also reach the same level, or any other super talented Pilipino!
