YOUTUBE SPOTLIGHT: I.J.D.'s New Album: "Shattered Memoirs"

When I first entered YOUTUBE as mshypersinger (http://youtube.com/mshypersinger), I was discovered by an amazing artist called I.J.D   (http://www.youtube.com/itzEyeJayDee ). He is a Filipino, and his music revolves around interesting themes and personal stories. Of course, my favorite was when he rapped about Filipinos.


I've been invited to do a collab with him 2 years ago, but I guess we've been busy on things. However, I am proud to present his 3rd project, "Shattered Memoirs", because I'm in it. =p However, I feel bad that I somehow rushed my part due to my schedule, but overall, his project is beyond epic!


To tell us about his new album, here is I.J.D.! :)
---
Can you tell us about your new project?


"Shattered Memoirs" is my 3rd project overall, but my first album to be completed. It is probably the most emotional project I have done to date, with its somber tone and cutthroat lyrics, I was pretty clear in sending a message. The entire project from start to finish is split into stages (Reminisce, Revelation, Retaliation, & Retribution), the first stage being about what my life was like when I was with singer Maria Flores, the second stage was when I found out what sort of "relationship" she apparently had with me which ended up leaving me used and upset. Anger took over at that point, which led into the third stage and then in the end acceptance brought me to the conclusion that karma will end up knocking on her door and only then will I be truly satisfied with this situation. Nevertheless, this album was a way for me to release this personal demon from my system and in doing so I spared no detail of this relationship even mentioning names in my verses to send a clear message that this was for them.

Can you tell us the background of each song in your album?

1. "Welcome To The Shattered Memory" -- Simply an intro letting the audience know what they are about to hear and the type of emotions that will overcome them by the end of it. As you can hear, I gave Maria's personal business with me no mercy as I incorporated her voice from the private videos she sent me.


2. "Seductive Eloquence" -- Being in a long-distance "relationship", I don't even know why I'm calling it that considering that she didn't believe what we had was special, regardless, we did do a lot of dirty talking with each other and at this point I am beginning to reveal my feelings to Maria. Honestly, she's lucky I held some restraint to not include sounds from more "private" videos she sent me.


3. "Amazing" (Feat. Marnie Brown) -- At this point, we are deep into this thing that we had. I feel like the happiest man on the fucking planet. I did everything I could to be there for her, always messaged her, etc. & she told me how much it meant to her and how special I made her feel. Little did I know, all of this would come crashing down on me.


4. "Why?" -- Revealing everything to me in a Facebook message, she left my life abruptly. Telling me that she never broke up with her boyfriend (of 2 years) who she is still with by the way and that she was tired of lying to me & in the end said she never loved me at all. That day was one of the worst days of my life, I could not believe I put 8 months of my life devoted to her only to have it slapped back in my face. Apparently, she knew all along since Day 1 that eventually she would have to tell me, but decided to put me out of her life in the most disturbed way I ever experienced.

5. "She Was A Beautiful Song" -- A short song pretty much saying how much this woman meant to me, I wanted to spend my life with her, she was the one in my mind that I never wanted more than anyone in the world. She was my inspiration, now she's just another victim of my music.


6. "Lessons In Heartbreak" -- Taking a short step in another direction, I slowly let my temper enter the picture by revealing my past encounters with love leading up to my time with Maria. The second verse highlights a girl I was determined to woo years ago, but I was cut short by her current boyfriend Luis Villegas who eventually knocked her up and pretty much at this point I laughed hysterically in a very perverse manner because last year her older sister cheated on my older brother and she knew all about it, but didn't tell my brother until it was too late. I took that very personally, therefore taking shots at Eliza and Luis, her for being another statistic in America's teen pregnancy percentage and Luis' lack of knowledge to use protection because he's pretty much an idiot in life. The third verse was eventually brought back to my situation with Maria, it is here that the harshest line I have ever written is mentioned where I felt that the idea of her possibly getting pregnant by her boyfriend Aldeen as karma was not as satisfying to me. I took it a step further and wished that she would get throat cancer which would handicap her permanently from singing the one thing that gives her pathetic life meaning, I wanted her to lose the ability to sing, much like she took away my love and threw it away.


7. "Long Night Ahead" (Feat. Stephanie Singer) -- I couldn't sleep as well ever since Maria left my life, I was in a constant battle with insomnia and eventually I was beginning to feel more depressed and angry that my music life was slowly spiraling as well, noting that I was consistently overlooked and how certain people in my college were a fucking pain in the ass to share a room with because of their "fake" nature. These personal demons were always chained to my life and only through music was I able to break free from them.


8. "The Petal Comes Off The Flower" (Interlude) -- Think of it like an intermission, having gone through 3 stages of the album, we move to the present and how I am currently coping with this and how finally I am ready to move on.


9. "Tell Me (You're Wrong)" -- A short simple song retaliating against her song that she released about me entitled "Worth It", where she states that I am the one with the problem and not her, leaving me even more irritated that she has the nerve to say there was an explanation for all of this when there really wasn't considering she told me she did not know why she connected the way she did with me. I wanted to hear that everything about her was a dead lie, nothing, but a pretty face.


10. "All We Are" -- It is an emotional roller-coaster of life. Life Itself can flash right before your very eyes if you don't cease the moment and take flight to reach and achieve your dreams. I wanted her to know that despite being in this, we are artists and as artists our only mission is to make it, and I made it clear that if she reached the top of the mountain, I'd be there to push her off with my achievements.

11. "A Day In December" (Feat. Dineen Laurel) -- My own creation (concerning production as it is my own original), I wanted the album to culminate here because the video was released on her birthday, which was 5 days after mine. I gave a picture of what our birthdays would be, mine would be depressing while she would most likely drink and have her usual sexual romp with Aldeen. In the end, I said it was time to move on and that soon karma would arrive not for me, but for her and when it does, I would be there smiling as the tears flowed from her eyes. It was the rough ending to a chapter in my life that would seem that my character in music was left in limbo, but I feel it was a silent victory for myself personally.










How do you see yourself in the coming years?
As of now, with 2012 here, I have taken the year off from YouTube to pursue other forms of entertainment like mini-films, etc., but also to re-invent my music persona because I feel it has gotten old and I want to give myself a fresh start. I am still working on new music, for example a new 5-Track EP that will be released on iTunes in 2013 and my eventual official album also releasing to iTunes. This year, I plan to look for booking agencies in order to perform at various shows in the near future, but one thing that will remain constant is that I am always honing my skills, so that when I come back next year, I will be better than ever.

Thank you so much I.J.D. for the time and for inviting me to be part of your project! Good luck with your  music and other plans! Continue making us proud!

YOUTUBE Finds: The Long Distance Relationship - GO CRY!

Not your usual "long distance relationship" story...


When my friend, Geeman, shared this video, I was like "Oh no... Not another LDR film again please..." You see, I've seen so many LDR videos, and of course you know how the plot would go... Despite knowing the content, the impact of these videos depends on its execution, and most of those I've seen didn't really make me go "Awwww" and more of "Say what?...Whyyyyyyyy did you kill the sweetness...???"

I've seen good and sweet film productions, but this video IS DIFFERENT. Seriously, it's different... At first, I was like "Oh... It's the usual plot...", but when I got to 4 minutes, I found my eyes all blurry and...TEAR TYPHOON TIME!!! You might relate this to a certain film (which I will not say, because I don't want to ruin your moment lol), but how it was incorporated into this storyline made it more "Awwww".

One of the best scenes in THE LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP by The Grim Film

Okay, I'll stop talking, and I'll just let you watch the video...

Here it is, "THE LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP" by THE GRIM FILM:

TO THEGRIMFILM,
You guys created a wonderful film. I wish you guys all the best! This was indeed amazing!

Already Gone - My Cover

I've been wanting to cover this song since 2010, but it never came to be. Suddenly, the moment struck as I was finishing my school report and heard this song on shuffle. Thus, for my break time, I decided to record this Kelly Clarkson song called "Already Gone"...

And uhm yes... I had a haircut... I know, I know... Some like it, some don't ... LOL. My explanation? My hair's really damaged and my curls have tangled up. I wanted to start off again with an undamaged hair, so I had to do this. LOL. Hey... NEW YEAR, NEW LOOK! :P

Here's my cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone"-- the acoustic version! :)
Yeah... My long hair is... "ALREADY GONE"... LOL

Yeng Constantino: Ang Pag-Ibig (Music Video)

Yeng has been known for being a really talented rocker, but her versatility continuously appeals me more. She can rock it out and be cute at the same time, and her talent forever shines through. Lately, I've been fascinated by the cuteness of her music videos, but one of her videos is circulating SO MUCH in social networking sites.

The video? Simple, yet very innovative. The song? It has this catchy beat and tune. The lyrics? Funny, but sweet. Overall impact? SUPERB... goes right through you... Sapul!

I suggest you check her video out, and tell me what you think... Everyone seems to be infected by it.

YOUTUBE SPOTLIGHT: TheCountessAnna

Way before the famous NURSING video, I have already seen her various entertaining videos, which instantly turned me into a subscriber with a question of "Why is she still not getting discovered?" Finally, a few months later, her cool and humorous personality caught a lot of attention through her "Why Nursing, Anna?" video, which enlightened the many about what nursing students go through in the funniest way of delivery ever.

A fellow nurse, Anna spoke for the community with wit and humor, that made everyone look at nursing in a whole different light-- a cooler and more awesome light that is. With Philippines being a country full of nurses, many people can relate to what she was saying, making her video spread like bushfire. This led her to further video productions and TV appearances, and she even became the winner of the CGEStar show on CGETV, making her a CGETV VJ.

With requests from some of my readers, here's the NURSE VLOGGER, Anna Tan!

Youtube & CGEStar's
TheCountessAna / AnnaTantrum

NAME: Anna Tan

AGE: 22

LOCATION: Quezon City, Philippines
YOUTUBE ID: TheCountessAnna

When did you start Youtube?

- Sometime in high school, I made an account, which kind of explains the username. Haha! But I only started making videos around May 2011.

Why did you decide to finally share your videos online? 

- When my good friend Sab aka MissCoryPotts "guested" me on one of her beauty vlogs, she kept telling me about how people thought I was funny, and how some would even say I should have my own channel. Guess that, plus a lot of coercing from her finally pushed me to publish a few videos.

How long have you been producing videos (even outside the online world) ?

- I tried making some on Facebook! Can't find them now though. Like, this one time, I ranted about how stupid Pet Society is. Guess ranting was already in my system way back in high school!

How did you come up with your username?

- I have a long-ass name. Anna Karanina Francesca. And it sounds so colonial/periodic, so I decided to give myself a title. Baroness sounded like an old lady, Duchess and Lady sounded too stuck-up. Countess felt just right. Although I'd give anything now to change my username to "AnnaTantrum" just so it goes with my rants... and every other social network I have now.

What kind of videos do you do?

- Like I said, mostly comedic ranting. I've done rap covers too, and right now, there's one ballad. I don't know, just to share some of the other talents I think I have.

Where do you get your inspiration when it comes to making these videos?

- I've always admired itskingsleybitch's videos on YouTube. He's hilarious yet sensible. I had mad respect for him. When I started my channel, I tried to do what all the other Filipinas did on YouTube: makeup. But I felt awkward every single time I'd do a girly video. Comedy/ranting just felt more natural, plus I get to make people happy. Now THAT's rewarding.

What is your BEST VIDEO that will summarize what you can offer? 

- I think my semi-viral "Why Nursing Anna?" video pretty much sums up who I am - not just online, but in real life. In there, people identified me as a registered nurse, and I got to talk about the funny yet tough experiences in Nursing, as well as show my compassionate side.

What is your overall goal in terms of video production? Do you want to fully pursue this career?

- I don't really have any specific goals, nor do I see a distinct career path in this, but I'm pretty much content with just being able to reach out to people from all walks of life, even all over the globe - especially my beloved fellow Filipinos. Although, lately, I did win Cge Star Season 1 on ABS-CBN's CGE TV because of videos I made according to weekly themes. I guess that counts as a career to pursue, since I just won myself my own show to be a VJ in.

Any message for the viewers?

- Basically, I'm just grateful for all of the support. Without them and all of their kind words and unwavering support, I wouldn't even bother making more videos. I'm where I am today thanks to my viewers, family and friends. God bless all of you!

---
Thank you so much, Anna! It was really nice meeting you and having you here... You haven't changed since the time we first stumbled upon each other, proving that you are still the friendly, spontaneous, and down-to-earth Anna! =) Congratulations and good luck with your career! Continue touching people's lives and making the nurses & Filipinos proud!
