    The problem, of course, is that all the Karaoke machines (including the 'Magic Sing', which Ruby received as a Christmas pressie) give a score for 'performance'. Now, as far as I can determine, the score is based entirely upon timing - it takes no account of pitch, tone, or any other musical quality. So, when Filipinos perform Karaoke, and are scored at 99, or even 100%, they all think that they are brilliant singers. The fact that they are tone-deaf, with a voice like a frog's, doesn't deter them one little bit!

    Hate to be a smart ass... but Myleene Klass is English, born and bred just down the road from me. Her mother is a filipino tho.

    What about Claire de la Fuente. Saw her in the Mall of Asia singing 'Something in your eyes'. Good but wasn't up to the Dusty original.
