Somedaydream, Gloc-9 lead MYX Awards nominees

13 February 2012 at 11:33 pm

Rapper Gloc-9 and newcomer Somedaydream garnered the most nominations for the MYX Awards 2012, which will be held this March 13 at the Music Museum in San Juan City.

Rez Toledo, popularly known as electropop artist Somedaydream, earned seven nominations, including nods for the Favorite Artist, Favorite Song, and Favorite Music Video categories.

Expectedly, he is also nominated in the Best New Artist category, alongside Zia Quizon, Solenn, Angeline Quinto, and, curiously, former Sugarfree frontman Ebe Dancel (who just released his first solo album last year).

Meanwhile, Gloc-9 (real name: Aristotle Pollisco) got the most recognitions, earning eight nominations in six categories. Besides snagging Favorite Artist and Favorite Song nods, he also got three nominations in the Favorite Collaboration category.

Parokya ni Edgar received the most nominations among the rock groups.

MYX Awards 2011 big winner Yeng Constantino got two nominations for Favorite Artist and Favorite Female Artist.

Among the solo acts, Christian Bautista is second to Somedaydream in the nomination tally with five nods (including one for Alodia Gosengfiao in the Favorite Guest Appearance in a Music Video for “All That’s Left).

MYX Channel Head Andre Allan Alvarex explained how the nominees were chosen: “Basically kung sino sa maraming votes na na-garner from the past year. So yung mga nagta-top sa MYX Daily Top Ten, Pinoy MYX Countdown, MYX International Top 20, and MYX Hit Charts.”

He added, “Basically we give it to our viewers. It's their choice. So talagang representative of kung ano yung mga gustong iboto ng mga tao.”

Winners of the MYX Awards 2012 will be based on online fan votes (in the MYX website and Facebook page) and artists’ poll.

Trump says he might demand Panama hand over canal
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday accused Panama of charging excessive rates for use of the Panama Canal and said that if Panama did not manage the canal in an acceptable fashion, he would demand the U.S. ally hand it over. In an evening post on Truth Social, Trump also warned he would not let the canal fall into the "wrong hands," and he seemed to warn of potential Chinese influence on the passage, writing the canal should not be managed by China. It also underlines an expected shift in U.S. diplomacy under Trump, who has not historically shied away from threatening allies and using bellicose rhetoric when dealing with counterparts.

OPINION - I'm sorry, but this is why I have no sympathy for the woman whose £10,000 handbag was stolen in London
It did not, I have to say, take long for my sympathy for the woman who had her designer handbag stolen from a changing room in Oxford Street to evaporate into thin air. Nothing sums up more the vulgarity of the culture than the fact that it’s now de rigueur for a young woman to flaunt £10,000 worth of designer handbag as a measure of success. As an artefact, the Hermes JPG Shoulder Birkin, in red is an attractive piece; it’s well made and an intelligent take on the original designed for Jane Birkin.
