MYX Music Awards announces nominees
The annual MYX Music Awards, a product obviously of the Kapamilya network, has created a good reputation by recognizing the most popular and acclaimed talents in the Philippine music scene regardless of network affiliation.
Deserving artists from ABS-CBN and GMA7 are nominated.
This year, music fans will see their favorite Kapamilya and Kapuso stars in one show of camaraderie and triumph come March 26.
"I really give it up to MYX for their open-mindedness and not joining the network war," said R&B singer Jay-R whose video for the song "Tonight" is shortlisted in the Favorite Urban Video category.
Jay-R, dubbed as R&B Prince and long-known as a performer appearing on GMA-7 shows, is co-credited for the said song with Mica Javier, its video directed by Romson Niega.
"My Husband's Lover" effect
The nominees for MYX Music Awards 2014 were recently revealed during a gathering at K-Pub BBQ in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. The announcement saw performances from Yeng Constantino, Jireh Lim, and Jonalyn Viray --- another face affiliated with ABS-CBN's rival network.
Jonalyn earned three nominations, namely, for Favorite Media Soundtrack, Favorite Mellow Video, (both for the song "Help Me Get Over") and the big one: Favorite Female Artist.
She reacted, "I'm overwhelmed. Sobrang laki ng impact nito sa akin. It's my first time to be nominated thrice."
Building block
Other Kapuso acts who earned nods are the duo of Tom Rodriguez and Dennis Trillo (Favorite Remake: "Forever"), Elmo Magalona (Favorite Media Soundtrack: "Kaleidoscope World Forever More" feat. Francis M.), Julie Ann San Jose (Favorite Guest Appearance in a Music Video: "Broken Heart" by Kaligta) and Barbie Forteza (Favorite MYX Celebrity VJ).
Kapamilya stars led by Yeng Constantino and Sarah Geronimo who are both nominated for Favorite Female Artist are also on the list.
"MYX has become a very important part of the building blocks of OPM," Jay-R added.
Varied names
Kean Cipriano, whose band, Callalily is among the nominees for Favorite Group, shared his feeling about this year's list of nominees.
"Ang lakas ng list. Varied, may banda, singers, and rappers. MYX is truly a very solid award-giving body," he noted.
Sixty percent of the votes will come from the public, while the remaining 40 percent will be taken off the artist's poll.
The MYX Music Awards night will be telecast live from SM Aura's Samsung Hall on March 26 over MYX Channel.
