Another star in heaven

And it's not just a star, but a superstar.

The news of Nora Aunor's passing came as a shock to everyone. Especially for those still reeling from the loss of Asia's Queen of Songs - Pilita Corrales a week ago. Not to mention Ms. Gloria Romero a few months back.

Despite some questions on her personal life, it's no question that as an actress, Nora Aunor was excellent and unmatched. No actress in the Philippines has produced as many iconic characters and lines as her, and that's what makes her super.

Looks like they're going to have a big production up there soon.

FMM: Heading out

For today's Friday Magic Madness, we have a triple feature!

It's just one song, but it was done by 2 different singers. Each rendition was so catchy and infectious that both versions deserve an FMM spot today.

The song is "Going out of my head," It's a song that was originally sung by Little Anthony and the Imperials in 1964.

But the version I'm more familiar with was the one from Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. Credit it to their Brazilian roots, but their rendition has this samba vibe to it.

But wait, there's more! There's a version of this song from the country's one and only superstar - Ms. Nora Aunor!

Her version has its own charm and flavour, and is equally infectious.

Gosh! This song will be playing in my head for a long, long time.
