Bruno Mars, Charice in Wherever You Are

I was really surprised when I heard this new song for 2011. A collaboration of two international hitmakers who have Filipino roots - Bruno Mars and Charice!

Just got this news from another music blogger, Rabsing, and after listening to their work, man, that's a great song!

Hope you'll all like it too! Here's the video and lyrics of Bruno Mars and Charice's Wherever You Are:

So i’ll be with you like a shadow
Cos you’re the one i want, i really really want
baby cos i want you that close
cos you’re the one that’s on my mind
I’ll be right behind, holding you just like
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
you won’t be lonely tonight…

no matter the time or the distance apart
I’ll be with you, just close your eyes
no matter the time or the distance apart
I’ll be with you, wherever you are

Remember when I’m on the road
Baby don’t think I forgot about you
gotta lead, gotta run this show
wish I could pause time
A million things are going on
but I know where I belong
and that’s with you ooh ooh
a, a, a, a, a, a

Boy you know you have go
and everything within me is gonna miss you
I’ll be here waiting for your call
before i close my eyes

Is this love or am I dreaming
am I up or am I sleeping
yes I might be delusional
cos it feels so unusual

I don’t this feeling to end with a maybe
I don’t wanna lose this tonight

So i’ll be with you like a shadow
cos you’re the one I want, I really really want
baby cos i want you that close
cos your the one that’s on my mind
i’ll be right behind, holding you just like
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
you won’t be lonely tonight

If ever you should feel alone
Baby call my name and I’ll be right there
through the cold and the darkest storms
I’ll be right on time

a million things are going on
but i know where i belong
and that’s with you ooh ooh
a, a, a, a, a, a

Even though we’re miles apart
I will hold you down just like a soldier
cos I’m yours and you stole my heart
love you got the key

Is this love or am i dreaming
am i up or am i sleeping
yes i might be delusional
cos it feels so unusual

i don’t this feeling to end with a maybe
i don’t wanna lose this tonight

so i’ll be with you like a shadow
cos you’re the one i want, i really really want
baby cos i want you that close
cos your the one that’s on my mind
i’ll be right behind, holding you just like
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
you won’t be lonely tonight

Every little step you take, I’ll be with you like a shadow
Every little move you make, I’ll be with you like a shadow
Even when my hands can’t touch you
I can feel your love oh

If you feel you’re missing me tonight
all you have to do is close your eyes

so i’ll be with you like a shadow
cos you’re the one i want, i really really want
baby cos i want you that close
cos your the one that’s on my mind
i’ll be right behind, holding you just like
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
you won’t be lonely tonight

no matter the time or the distance apart
i’ll be with you, just close your eyes
no matter the time or the distance apart
i’ll be with you, wherever you are

Far East Movement's Rocketeer is Magic 89.9's Top Song of the Week!

As promised, we're giving you the hottest and most requested songs every week as compiled by two of the most popular pop FM music stations in the metro - Magic 89.9 and Monster Radio RX 93.1.

But since, RX's jocks are still in Singapore and will be coming back to their regular shows this Monday, student djs may have failed to update their site with their Countdown Top 7. Anyway, we'll keep you posted with that. For the meantime, let's go to Magic 89.9's Top 5@5.

The Andi-9 and Jessica-hosted afternoon show in Magic listed Far East Movement's Rocketeer as Top 1 for the first week in 2011.

Bruno Mars' Grenade followed second while Taylor Swift's Back to December landed on the third spot.

Trey Songz' Bottoms Up and The Script's Nothing got the fourth and fifth posts respectively.

Here's Far East Movement with their Rocketeer.

DJ Rico Robles versus David Archuleta's Fans

Monster Radio RX 93.1 DJ and Party Pilipinas jock Rico Robles got an instant yearend bang from the David Archuleta fan base in the Philippines.

DJ Rico Robles tweeted his opinion on Archuleta's 'Elevator' being played over and over as requested by his huge fan base in the country. 

On his tweets, Robles said: 'I can only hear "Elevator goes [up], elevator goes down" over and over in my head, when I eat, take a crap, sleep, wake up. Please lang.'

Robles also tweeted saying DA's fans bombarding him with 50,000 text messages voting for it.

Another tweet that trigger the local fan base of the American Idol alumnus say: 

'Is it even on the Billboard Top Ten? As a DJ, my social responsibility is to cater to all my listeners, not just fan clubs.'

And of course, the root of this mess was with Robles' statement: "playing a David Archuleta is a waste of time."

Rico Robles got several comments on his twitter account that are mostly negative ones coming from the young singer's supporters. 

The DJ managed to reply to all his followers saying he'll 'practice balance playing of music from your request to the charts. I will always cater to you.'

Here's the remaining lines on his Twitter account:

'I always been and try to be your voice so people can hear your emotions. I have never hid anything from anyone. My transparency as a DJ/artist has been the same since 1998. If you love, thank you. If you hate me, at least I always kept it true.'
