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.

    Eh kung kay Anne Curtis lang naman, kampi ako kay Leah Salonga. Di ko type yang si Anne Curtis na kahit isang kalabaw kayang dumaan sa napakalaki at napakaluwang na bibig niyan! Hilig pang mag lipstick ng pula na lalong lumalaki ang bibig niya!

    Buhay pa rin pala itong thread na ito at active pa rin ang comment section. Hindi pa rin ba pumapasok sa kanilang mga kukote ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng article na ito? Aba eh Thursday pa lang, may pasok pa sa paaralan. Pumasok muna kayo sa Psychology class ng tumulis ang mga mapupurol niyong utak. Pero huwag kayong papasok sa Assumption. Kasi puro assumption lang naman ang alam niyo at hindi facts. Kapag na-comprehend na ninyo ang tunay na pakahulugan ng artikulong ito, then saka kayo mag-enrol sa Law School at iapela niyo mga paniniwala ninyo.

    I think we should support the real singers. Good on Lea for voicing her opinion. It's about time someone did. I heard Anne wants to do a concert overseas. Well good luck to her coming to Australia, I doubt it will be a sell out, we don't want to waste our money on someone who is abisiyosa and cannot sing we will only watch 'real' singers. Unlike in the Philippines, whether you can sing or not, there are die hard fans who are willing to pay sum of money just to see their idols. But it's not gonna happen overseas.

    Just my .02 cents, ang daming di maka-comprehend dito. Number one na yang isa diyan na nag-ge-generalized comparing Lea's bad attitude due to her comments, to someone from the province. I think ninety percent of Philippine's showbiz population are from a province or two noh?

    Dahil sa MAKASARILING ambisyon ni Anne Curtis, binigyan niya ng malaking kahihiyan ang pilipinas at mga pinoy singers. Sana lang, malaman at masingil si Anne Curtis ng AUSTRALIAN TAXATION Office ng tamang tax sa mga kinita niya sa mga rakets niya dito sa pinas, including the her shameless act and performance at the Araneta. I- DUBbed si Anne Curtis sa Australian Taxation Office, para MASINGIL ng tamang TAX! Fair Go!

    nakakatawa naman kasi ang ibang fans ni anne curtis na may pea brain. inaway pa talaga si lea salonga. kasi naman tigilan na yang pagdadahilan nila na --hindi naman singer pero nakakapuno ng araneta--. please, it is okay to enjoy but to brag about arrogance of mediocrity is something else. come on, give some yourself some dignity and perhaps intellect.

    anne didn't mind what lea said so why are some of the fans reacting negatively, particularly, this Lord Amstel? you are so darn funny dear, did you even read the article? lea was not referring to anyone in particular and there was nothing even remotely insulting about anne from lea's statements, if not, she was just being very honest. Anne has admitted herself, that she is not a singer, so Lord Amstel, I suggest you get a life because you are getting so worked up over nothing, please go back to the EUROPEAN cubby-hole that you came from, mas nakakahiya ang mga pinoy na katulad mo na di marunong umintindi ng simpleng ingles para lang makuha ang nasusula. BTW, lea salonga has given the Philippines so much more, di ka pa siguro pinapanganak when it all happened, kaya eng eng ka pa...

    Ahahahaha! Anne Curtis, listen up! Lea Salonga has spoken! I just admire Lea's being straighforward. She'd say what she wants to say whether it hits a person or not. I just thought that Anne should stick to acting, singing is not for her phuleeezzz!

    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.

    ok, boys and girls! enough milking this article, this is not going to help Anne since she was talked about in gist and made sure Ms. Lea clarified that she did not dissed Anne, clear na yan. Wag na magalit kay Ms. Lea. This is not what Ms. Lea need to resurrect her relevance in the industry, it's too beneath her! So, please stop now, how dare you talk about her that way, she was once an international star,mind you!

    lea hear my 2 cents.. no matter what one do to earn a living in the business it is ultimately the audience choice to watch d show or not or to buy their cd or not. kung nag e enjoy naman ang tao why not..i really do not see d point on u feeling insulted..as if naman the audience will care...u may just be voicing out a strong opinion but u know what..u always sound too self righteous and too all knowing...ang galing mong singer no question about that but i hope the next time you open your mouth you know how to spell humility..yan talaga ang wala sa iyo.
