Lea Salonga on Anne Curtis: "I'm not sure that she should make a career out of singing but I thinknaman she... In reality, she knows what she is. She knows who she is. And I think she just basically let out a wish and somebody made it come true. I thought it was really cute. I didn't get to see the concert. But everybody that I know that went there had a lot of fun."

Laman ng balita ngayong linggo ang diumano'y pang-iinsulto ng international singer na si Lea Salonga sa pagkanta ng aktres ni Anne Curtis.

Ito rin ang sinasabing dahilan kaya nagalit diumano ang fans ni Anne kay Lea.

Nag-ugat ang isyung ito sa report na inilabas ng InterAksyon.com, ang news portal ng TV5, noong Linggo, Pebrero 12.

Sinabi ng portal na ininsulto raw ni Lea si Anne sa isang interview nito sa iba't ibang media outfits.

Pero nang mag-react na ang kampo nina Lea at Anne, hindi pinanindigan ng portal ang inilabas nitong balita: agad itong umatras at naglabas ng apology.

FULL TRANSCRIPT. Inilabas din ng InterAksyon ang full transcript ng interview kay Lea upang malinawan ang buong konteksto ng pahayag ng singer tungkol kay Anne.

Naganap ang panayam kay Lea noong February 11 sa music video shoot ni Lea para sa bagong reality singing search ng TV5, ang Kanta Pilipinas, sa isang studio sa Cubao.

Sa una kasing inilabas na report ay naputol ang ilang pahayag ni Lea, kaya lumabas na nilalait ng Pinay international recording artist ang Kapamilya actress.

Sa interview ay tinanong si Lea kung sino sa hanay ng singers sa Pilipinas ang mga gusto niyang makasamang kumanta.

Nabanggit ang pangalan ni Anne Curtis, na nagkaroon ng solo concert noong January 28 sa Araneta Coliseum.

Sagot ni Lea, "No. Sorry."

Paliwanag niya sa kanyang naging tugon, "No offense to her. But you said, what singer? 

"Anne admits... she is not a singer. I have to give her that. I congratulate her for the concert..." 

Tinanong din si Lea tungkol sa mga non-singer celebrities na pumapasok sa music industry at nagkakaroon pa ng album.

Muli, nabanggit ni Lea rito ang pangalan ni Anne.

    Si lea din dapat wag mag claim na actress sya, dahil pangit acting nya! Kala mo naman super perfect nya, sya rin kaya singer na for the sake of promotion pumasok sa acting di naman maganda.

    allyouloosers - Di naman siguro damihan ng pera ang sukatan bilang Artist or Entertainer... I think kung ano ang na contribute mo as an artist... atleast kung malalaos or maging poor si lea, di na mawawala ang pangalan nya sa history ng pinas. sina anne curtis, marriane rivera, angel locsin ano ba ang na represent nila para sa pinas ?

    Lea is just bitter because even if she is a world renowned singer, still di sya sumikat ng sobra dito sa pilipinas. Mas mayaman pa sa kanya sina anne curtis, marriane rivera, angel locsin. Sad but true. Ang tagal na nya sa showbusiness di umusad usad ang career. It is not enough that you a beautiful voice, you have to have the charm, charisma to get the people's adoration. Eh napakaantipatika at arrogante pa naman ni to. Ever since , whenever she was interviewed we get the impression that she is so full of herself, so arrogant.

    She has the right to feel offended by the singer-singeran, if you think about the amount of HARD WORK, PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE, PRACTICE, PAIN, SWEAT AND BLOOD she has shed just to perfect her craft for like 20-30 YEARS. Again, balikan nyo na lang ako kung may check na lahat ng naka-caps. never mind kung di perfect.

    hindi sapat ang mga box office hits ni anne curtis para tapatan ang mga achievements ni LEA SALONGA. sa mga fans ni anne na halatang taga squatter lang stop harassing ms. lea salonga. she is popular around the world compared to anne na sa pilipinas lang sikat. kaya nga kinuha si lea na mag judge sa miss universe eh. get's nyo!?! walang nakaka-offend sa mga sinabi nya. pinapalaki nyo lang ang issues for publicity!!!

    Totally agree with Lea Salonga, singing is so special, it's not just a profession, and should not be played. Singers, like Lea, sings from their heart and with passion. The reason they are insulted with those individuals, claiming they're singers.

    I definitely agree with Lea and those who hate her for her statements are either narrow-minded or completely did not understand what she said. Anne C is not a singer and she admits that. What Lea wants is for her not to pursue a singing career just because many are entertained by her and she brings heaps of money for that. UNDERSTAND. if Anne C continues to 'sing' what will happen to the high standards of Filipino vocal scene?

    PEP, Please read carefully and understand what Lea's said in this article, she clearly said that Anne C, herself admitted, not a singer. so why you guys are so affected! are they giving you guys anything or you guys are giving them? try to analyze, and instead mind on your own business.

    269 slickchick02 February 16, 2012 00:29 AM i agree that anne shouldn't have signed para mag world tour. kung kakanta sya wag na ung overrated song na Alone. sing britney's songs, madali kantahin. with this lea naman. im aware of her accomplishments pang world class pero hindi world class ang ugali, what she said on this article was true. just cause she accomplished big things, received awards, recognized sa buong mundo, doesn't mean she could say whatever she wants. ganyan ba sila celine dion and others? i have 0 tolerance talaga sa mga mayayabang. ----------------------------Ako din I have ZERO ...NADA...ZERO tolerance din sa mga MAYAYABANG NA PANTARDS NG DOS bwahahahaha
