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.

    Totoo naman eh. Anne Curtis doesn't have any talent. She is just really beautiful and sexy pero no talent whatsoever. Kahit di sabihin ni Lea ng diretso everyone already knows this!

    Hehe. Pang broadway lang si leah? Hello. If she can go broadway, then that is less an effort to sing any other songs. Kung si barbra streisand can sing broadway songs, that does make her less of a singer. Eh lalong sisiw yong mga ibang kanta dahil broadway is not a breeze lalo nay si anne pa ang kakanta.

    i think her view is limited. and who is she to be insulted. anyone can be a singer as long as he or she can sing. it doesn't matter if you are gifted with a great voice or not. napaka showbiz nmn niya. Music is a gift from God and singing is a part of it. so who are we to say someone is not a singer. someone's voice or singing may not be to our liking,but to God they're all beautiful.

    may point din naman si leah. kaya lang naman nya sinasabi yan kasi INSECURE sya sa mga HINDI SINGER na may ALBUM at kumikita ang ALBUM at CONCERT. sabi nga ni joey deleon lahat naman nakakanta iba iba lang ang galing. feeling kasi ni leah PERFECT na sya as a singer. eh hindi naman lahat ng genre kaya nyang kantahin.

    Lea has point. Kung sabihing mayabang siya ay may maipagmamayabang naman talaga.
