00:00I was a judge when you first joined the contest, the very very first time, it was still a portion on Asapa, I remember that, you were one of the contestants, your voice, it was something that was distinct.
00:26What we did was, I didn't do the ret, if everyone did the ret, I would have done the baritone.
00:32That's positioning.
00:33That's why it's confusing, because the rest of them are doing the same thing and then...
00:37You need to know how to position.
00:38I didn't really fix my hair.
00:41Okay, this is the charismatic one, Ai-Ai, just us.
00:44No, no, let's talk.
00:48I'm sorry, Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai has been my talent for a long time.
00:53So don't be afraid, whatever you want to say.
00:55Does she really have a role in The Clash?
00:58Do you listen to her opinions?
01:01How do I say this?
01:02First, she's really funny, and of course, because of her experiences in the industry.
01:06But she's funny but she has no talent?
01:08She has, she has.
01:09Oh, she has?
01:10She has, she has.
01:11She has a lot to learn.
01:12Sometimes, she's the one who teaches me.
01:13Is she flat or sharp?
01:14Correct.
01:15Wow.
01:16This is a surprise.
01:17No, first of all, to be a judge in a singing contest, you don't need to be a singer.
01:22Of course.
01:23She insisted.
01:24She insisted.
01:25We were just talking.
01:26She insisted.
01:27We already know.
01:28No, no.
01:29You know, our stories are too long.
01:31It's true.
01:32I didn't insist, but I said, maybe I can.
01:35But she always says, okay, I'm not that kind of singer, but I know what's right and what's wrong.
01:39Correct.
01:40That's right.
01:41Correct.
01:42But you two have your own taste of international success.
01:46Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, etc., Las Vegas.
01:50My question is, why are we still having a hard time until now, in spite of the massive,
01:56enormous, colossal talent of the Filipinos in mainstream global music?
02:03Oh, gosh.
02:04Maybe it's the identity.
02:07Because, look.
02:09Where's the identity, Len?
02:11The most…
02:12Look, okay.
02:13Okay, let's say Koreans, right?
02:17Okay.
02:19Maybe their songs, their sounds are very Western, right?
02:25But…
02:26Their music videos are very Western, right?
02:29Okay.
02:30It's very American.
02:31Okay.
02:32But you can really see, oh, my gosh.
02:34But they're all short, fair-skinned, they all look the same.
02:38You know, oh, my gosh, Koreans.
02:40As in, us Filipinos, oh, my gosh.
02:43Oh, my gosh.
02:44There's Mestizo, there's…
02:45It's not too many.
02:46There's no solid one that you can say, oh, this is Filipino.
02:51You don't leave out the brand identity.
02:53You take it.
02:54For me, it's different.
02:55Because we're a mixed culture.
02:57For me, it's okay if our appearance is mixed culture or mixed.
03:01The most important thing is investment or financial support.
03:06That's also one of them.
03:08For example, in the Oscars, right?
03:09You're lobbying for your movies.
03:11You're campaigning.
03:12You spend a lot of money for your movie to be noticed.
03:15Clearly, we have a lot of talented talent.
03:17The whole country has to really invest.
03:21Put them where they are.
03:22But our time will come.
03:23But our time will come.
03:24Easy Mill, as I heard, is here in the country.
03:28And I hope, Mommy Hazel, if you're watching, welcome back, welcome home.
03:32Easy Mill is slowly making it.
03:35She is being represented by Eminem and Dr. Dre.
03:38It's funny because Eminem's latest song almost pays tribute to the boy, to Easy Mill.
03:46And Eminem is rapping in Tagalog.
03:49Yes, Easy Mill also.
03:50Easy Mill too?
03:52Well, anyway, I really wish him the best.
04:08Peace.
