Toda Max Spoofs 'The Voice of the Philippines' (August 17); Who will be the coaches?

Following the trend of one of today’s hottest singing competitions, ABS-CBN’s “The Voice of the Philippines”, the hit comedy show “Toda Max” gives its own rendition of a battle of the voices with its very own “Toda Voice”.

Auditions will be held in order to join in on the competition, with the coaches being Bamboo’s, Apl.de.Ap’s, Sarah Geronimo’s, and Lea Salonga’s kalokalikes—and all those in Beverly Gils who think they have a talent for singing are eager to find out if they have what it takes to make the judges’ chairs turn.

One of the community’s tricycle drivers, Boogie (Bugoy Drilon) happens to have that knack for singing. However, with his confidence running low, he struggles to bring himself to sing in front of other people. Isabel (Angel Locsin) and Justin (Vhong Navarro), though, have heard Boogie sing—and because of the potential that they know he has, they push him to believe in himself, hoping that he tries out for “Toda Voice”.

Will Isabel and Justin have what it takes to coach Boogie behind the scenes so that he can show his true talent?

Find out in this week’s episode of “Toda Max”, airing on Saturday (August 17) on ABS-CBN Channel 2 after “Maalaala Mo Kaya”.

Liezel Garcia Releases Debut Album

From being one of Pinoy Dream Academy’s (PDA) ‘star dreamers,’ Liezel Garcia has finally claimed her shiniest moment as the newest voice of ABS-CBN teleserye theme songs releases her first-ever, self-titled album under Star Records.

“Music lovers, especially the hopeless romantics, will surely relate with the touching melodies and beautiful lyrics of the songs in the collection,” said Liezel. “As Pinoys, we are known to be sentimental and my album is like a playlist of different love stories.”

Being one of most requested interpreters of ABS-CBN teleserye theme songs, Liezel cannot help but be compared with Queen of Teleserye Theme Songs, Angeline Quinto. “I admire Angeline in everything that she does. Both of us waited for our own ‘time’ to fulfill our dreams. We are different in terms of singing style but we both want nothing but to entertain the people who love our music.”

Liezel’s nine-track album carries six well-loved teleserye theme songs including ‘Walang Hanggan’s “Wag Ka Lang Mawawala,” which is her duet with the ‘Prince of Sentimental Songs’ and real-life boyfriend Bugoy Drilon; ‘Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo’s “Bakit Pa;” ‘Pure Love’s “Gisingin ang Puso;” ‘PHR Presents’ “Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin;” ‘Kristine’s “Di Ko Kayang Limutin;” and her carrier single “Ngayong Alam Ko Na,” which is the official soundtrack of the hit morning Korenovela, “Two Wives.”

The album also features Liezel’s revival of Jaya’s “Wala Na Bang Pag-ibig” and Marri Nallos’s “Alipin Ako.” It also has bonus tracks including the song “Dance With Me” and the minus ones of all the tracks.

The “Liezel Garcia” album is now available on record bars nationwide for only P150. Digital tracks can also be downloaded via www.mymusicstore.com.ph. For more information visit Star Records’ Facebook fanpage at www.facebook.com/starrecordsphil or follow @starrecordsph on Twitter.
