[vito corleone]

Win some, lose some?
It’s true.
The other night, the duo M.Y.M.P. (Make Your Mama Proud) Juris Fernandez and Chin Alcantara won the top award for Group Artist of the Year at the first Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) Star Awards for Music held at the Sky Dome of SM North EDSA.
It was a happy-sad victory for the duo who wasn’t present at the awards. Instead, it was talent manager Noel Ferrer who received the trophy on their behalf.
“I was asked to do the honor by the manager of M.Y.M.P.,” said Noel. “The manager told me to get the trophy kung sakaling manalo ang M.Y.M.P.”
Noel called up the manager to congratulate him and M.Y.M.P. and that’s when he got a little shocker.
The manager thanked Noel and said, “Congrats sa album natin. Pero ‘yon na ang last nina Juris at Chin as a duo. Juris is going solo.”
Sad, isn’t it? As the song goes, some good things never last...
“Nalungkot ako,” sighed Noel.
Funfare did some sleuthing and here’s what I dug up:
Juris quit the duo after Chin “booted” her and her manager Carla Lozada out due to disagreement over an “exposure” in the A.S.A.P. Sessionista.
Added Noel, “Juris is slated to launch her long-overdue solo album under Star Records, with five songs produced by Chin. The other original cuts were done by Jimmy Antiporda, Ryan Cayabyab and Gary Valenciano.”
No, Juris won’t be using her M.Y.M.P. “connection” anymore.
According to Noel, Chin told her, “Magkakamatayan tayo kapag ginamit n’yo ang pangalan ng M.Y.M.P. But what’s in a name? The people are after Juris’ voice, not so much the duo’s name. She will sound just as well even under another name.”
But still, Juris and Chin still have commitments as a duo until end of this year and they will honor them, thank you.
“Juris is excited about her new career as a solo artist,” assured Noel. “She’s looking forward to a happy brand-new year.”
Meanwhile, Chin is looking for a new partner.

Yung Chin ba yung gitarista ng MYMP?

Lakas naman nyang magsabi ng mga ganyang statements kay Juris. Sa totoo lang, si Juris lang naman ang may buhay sa duo nila. Gitarista lang siya, at ang magandang boses, galing kay Juris.

Juris can do it on her own. Sigurado kahit solo na siya, still a lot of people will patronize her songs.

Okay lang mag break up sila, huwag lang Side A Band, The Dawn, Bamboo. May pagkasintunado minsan si Juris, some of their covers are not the acoustic type of music we listen to, such as classic songs from James Taylor, Don Mc Lean, Carole King, Carly Simon, America, Bread, CSNY, Cat Stevens, Eric Clapton (Unplugged Sessions), Rod Stewart (MTV Unplugged).

...agree. I'll add True Faith to the list too.

sacred ata sa kanya yung name MYMP galing sa mother niyang who had passed away.

parang yung sa hungry young poets hindi pinagamit kay barbie yung name nung umalis siya sa band.

[james00112233]

si Juris lang ang madalas kong naririnig kapag kumakanta ang MYMP at yung gitarista nila eh parang backup singer lang

baka mahihirapan ang MYMP ngayong umalis na si Juris.

[p_borj]

I also skip songs performed by Chin. Cool kasi ang voice ni Juris and sa kanya nabubuhay ang MYMP. Sana makakuha sila ng isa pang magaling na bagong singer.

[Memphis Raines]

Para yun lang nagalit na si Chin?

Palibhasa hindi sya marunong mag-look back at their humble beginnings si Chin. Hirap talaga ng swell head tsk tsk tsk.

Tama, si Juris ang attraction sa MYMP. Her voice is magical especially sa live performances.

Chin will regret this.

But then again good riddance for Juris.

make you momma proud = M.Y.M.P

sumikat sila sa songs hindi sa gitara. so hindi si juris ang lugi dito.

[RC-V]

make you momma proud = M.Y.M.P

yup i know. yung galing sa mother niya doesnt mean na name ng mother nya yung mymp. parang nabuo yung name na tribute sa mother nya.

"JURIS ABANDONS MYMP. MYMP MOVES ON WITH A NEW SINGER."

1) Walang kamoti-motibo si Chin para mag threaten kay Juris o kay Carla Lozada man:
A) Si Chin pa nga ang nag-encourage kay Juris na mag-record ng isang solo album, for the sake of variety, because Chin believed in Juris more than Juris believed in herself. Alam ng mga close friends nila yan. Chin is the producer of Juris’ soon-to-be released solo album.
B) Kilala sa band circle ang pagkabatikan ni Chin sa pag self-evolve ng mga bandang pinamunuan niya, from rock band, to show band, to acoustic band, and back to full band. Kasama na dito ang subok na kakayahan niyang mag-arrange ng love songs, soul music, RnB, jazz, at light rock.
C) Hindi maikakaila ang “craftiness” ni Chin sa pagsanay at pagpapatingkad ng talento ng sinumang mapili niyang bokalista, babae man o lalaki. Iyan ay hindi nagawa ng mga dating nakabanda ni Juris.
Kaya mahirap paniwalaan ang naturang bintang. Ang alam ko ay madaling natanggap ni Chin ang eventual departure of, but not the deplorable and high-handed treatment he received from, Carla and Juris. He has bigger and novel ideas to pursue as founder and leader of MYMP.
2) Ngayong malapit ng i-release ang solo album ni Juris, huwag namang gumamit ng threat-gimmick promotion ang mga handlers ni Juris at Chin’s expense.
3) Itong si manager Carla Lozada ay talagang natuto nang mag-dirty tricks buhat ng magka-boyfriend, na anak ng isang ABS-CBN bigwig, na inagaw niya kahit malapit na sanang ikasal yung lalaki.
4) Below the belt yang threat-gimmick promotion na iyan. Minahal din ni Chin si Carla. They lived-in for more than 4 years. During those years ay kinupkop si Carla ng pamilya ni Chin at itinuring na higit pa sa isang miyembro ng pamilya, hanggang sa lumaki ang kita niya upang makaupa na ng apartment. Kahit bukod na sila ng bahay ay may ilang taon pa rin silang on. Chin moved on after their breakup. He is moving on now, after professionally breaking up with Juris, and will continue to evolve like many times before when he parted with Nina, Brix Ferraris,Jimmy Bondoc, Fritz Ednacot, etc. Said partings happened without the pompous maneuverings (pagmamarangya) ng mga handlers ni Juris.
5) Wala namang ganyanan. Kaya tinanggal si Chin ay dahil hindi na niya masikmura silently ang pandidikta sa kanya ng mga planong patungo na sa kabakyaan na naayon sa manipulation ni Carla at ng kanyang mga co-conspirators. Sanay na sanay na nga si Chin sa pag-o-organize at pagre-reorganize ng mga banda. Ang ginagawa ng mga handlers ni Juris ay nilalagyan ng media spin ang sulsol nilang mag-solo na agad si Juris, at si Chin ang fantasy villain sa media spin. We don’t want that to happen, do we?
6) Sinong may matinong pag-iisip ang maniniwalang coincidence lamang ang nalalapit na launching ng solo album ni Juris sa paglabas ng mahalay na threat-gimmick promotion na iyan?
7) Bakit pa magde-demanda si Chin? Eh, di lalong magkaka-media mileage yang threat-gimmick promotion nila, at sa mas murang halaga pa. At isa pa, madaling palusutin ng corporate lawyer ng mga bumu-bully kay Chin na wala daw malice ang PR writer, diyaryo, at source (sic). Even the lawyers of Chin say, “We will be playing into their hands kapag nagdemanda tayo. Who wouldn’t see through their gimmick, anyway?”
8) Alam ng mga fans na naging very protective, like an elder brother, si Chin kay Juris sa mga madilim na panahon noong sinalbahe si Juris ng nakarelasyon niyang kabanda na two-timer; noong may boyfriend siyang may asawa na, during her senior year in college; at, noon din may karelasyon siyang Cebu DJ na may girlfriend na noon.
9) Chin believes that his and Juris’ talents are enough to make the solo album project (not this messy start of her solo career) a success. Kaya tigilan na iyang counter-productive na threat-gimmick promotion na iyan. Siguradong magba-backfire lang yan.
10) Remember what Chin said just recently to his sympathizers, “All good things come to an end. Every ending is a beginning...I’ve forgiven them.”
