What people must know about her

Once and for all, I will tell you the reasons why despite my being a rock, blues, and jazz music lover I still remain as one of Kyla’s avid fans. Many of my friends (who rarely watch GMA shows) wonder why I am head over heels in love with Kyla’s music. Some of them would even give me a contemptuous look as they ask me “why not Regine, Sarah, Nina, or Charice?” Ugh!!!! Well, besides her being cute, sweet, and professional, in terms of musicality, she’s way better than her contemporaries (the screaming biriteras).

No, not that she cooks. This is just to give you an idea on how she possessed such melismatic voice, which is very rare in the Philippines. This would somehow explain why her high-class original songs don’t appeal to the masa. And take note, she writes her songs too (extra points), and her penned songs have been nominated as best RnB song/ballad in Awit Awards and Katha Awards.

(thanks to niccholson01; watch until the last song for a sample of her scatting).

I was amazed when I knew she’s also a fan of THE Ella Fitzgerald. Those who were able to witness her sing that 7-minute scatting on Janno Gibbs’ concert have become her loyal fans, and like them, I’m still looking forward to watching her sing again standard jazz songs. As a matter of fact, her latest album shows an obvious transition to jazz. The songs are just too jazzy perhaps for the common masa to appreciate, and it’s okay (its not their fault anyway).  As long as the quality isn’t compromised, it’s fine with me even if she revives song (she herself is a victim of this “revival syndrome”).  There are still a lot of things to watch out for about Kyla, and I couldn’t care less about people who do not like her simply because, so far, I still trust my taste in music.
