I Love the Money

There is no doubt that International Diva ID is oozing with talent. Her voice is superb, powerful, a class of its own that won for her not a few international awards and recognition.

ID, who comes from a musical family began her career as a vocalist and back-up singer of various bands. Even at an early age, she was so passionate about her craft and wanted to be in the league of professional singers. Years of dedication have paid off. In no time, ID became one of the most sought-after singers in the country.

Expectedly, awards came one after another - as more and more established singers were getting intimidated by ID's presence in the music industry. More than anything, ID was a true artist and a professional – someone who was bold and unafraid to try anything.

Some observers are amazed at how ID continues to enthrall people, even at times that she was gone from the country for long, the public still longs for her. Thus ID is allegedly never lacking in projects – enough to assume that she has earned considerable sums to tide her over. Reportedly, ID has made several investments here and abroad, really smart enough to make hay while the sun shines.

But alongside is her quirkiness, too - as some artists are said to possess.

In every performers' shows or gigs, normal payment procedures are done after the show, usually through checks especially if the artists talent fee is big. But events organizers in ID' s corporate shows reportedly wonder why ID demands to be paid in cash (not checks) before every show – or she will not perform. This happens all the time even if the company is a repeat client.

Until one day when ID told them why. She said that unless she is fully paid in cash before a show, she is a sluggish performer. Only the thought of a cold cash already paid to her before she goes onstage gives her a different high and immense energy to wow her audience to the hilt.

    4. yea, okay lang un. diba may mga producers na naglipana, na ang tagal magbayad, magpapahabol pa... o at least pag ganyan ang setup, sure na bayad ang performance nia

      Delete
  3. her family was not that wealthy, and everything she is now enjoying is through hard work so i can imagine where she is coming from esp with a lot of untrustworthy in the business ( a lot of entertainers not paid and such stuff is not unheard of) ...

    1. I can't blame her, I heard a lot of stories na hindi binabayaran ang performer after mag show kaya lesson na sa kanila yun. They also have a family to feed kaya dapat lang siguro na maging wise.

      Delete
  4. Why not naman ano! With her talent dapat paid in full! Pak! Para-paraan lang yan

    ReplyDelete
  5. I think there is nothing wrong with that. She paid her dues. And she is an icon in her own right. As long she is nice to people who work for her, as long as she delivers. Keri na yan. Mas mahiya naman ang walang talent kung maka demand ng talent fee.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Agree. And I would take her remark in jest but still give her the cold cash if that's how she prefers to be paid. Keri lang yan, bawing-bawi naman sa performance nya eh!

    2. Oo nga. Organizers still get their money's worth as she seems to be very professional and obviously talented.

  13. Nasa title na initials nya. Super laki ng binata nya.

  14. Maybe she had an experience with a bogus producer. Singer L looks like she overdid it with the surgeries though.

  15. Pag cash ang involve mas madali doctorin ang taxes.

    1. You have evidence to back-up your claim?

      Delete
    2. yeah i was thinking money laundering but the others could be right in that maybe she's just being careful. which makes sense. besides, our country mostly deals in cash.

      Delete
    3. khit cash may rcpts pa rin saka sa tf nila bawas na automatucally ang withholding tax

      Delete
  16. tama lang naman yon. minsan kasi di nababayaran kung ano na pag usapan. daming ganyan, sad to say.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Si L. Tama lang yan para sure na hindi mag bounce ang checks. And shes super talented worth it naman

    ReplyDelete
  18. Check is good. But cash is better.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I don't see anything wrong with that. As long as she can make the audience happy through her songs. Win-win situation.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Si L na super ganda ng voice na mabirit din.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Kaloka siya huh! Literrally mukhang pera. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  22. That has something to do with taxes, walang papeles...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. it has nothing to do with tax...

      Delete
    2. possible na tax reason kung di sya pumirma na kahit na anong cash voucher or walang written contract with tf indicated, pero kung meron, it defeats the purpose.

      Delete
    3. nyek khit cash required pa rin ang resibo.. saka kung tutuusin mas pabor sa organizers na cash na wala rcpt kc pede nila iwasan magbyad ng evat

      Delete
  23. segurista lang siya kaya ganun! sa panahon ba naman ngayon dapat mag ingat ang mga performers sa mga bogus producers...baka din naman naloko na siya noon kaya nagsisiguro na siya ngayon diba?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wala akong nakikitang masama dun.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Well, tom. na lang

    1. makatadtad ka akala mo naman kilala mo sya ng personal...

      Delete
  35. hmm, cash payment first before performance. reminds me of another profession that requires talent :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. she deserves it. magaling sya, napakagaling. fantard ako ni ibon nung bata-bata ako...but as i grew older, narealize ko masmagaling si L.

    ReplyDelete
  37. may edad na to na halos di makilala after all the surgery, parang nag ibang tao. sa totoo lang kaya ko lang nalaman na sya pala yun dahil pinakilala sya pero kung di dahil sa introduction, ibang anyo talaga

    ReplyDelete
  38. baka cash din magbayad sa mga plastic surgeon nya

    ReplyDelete
  39. baka nagpupuno rin ng bathtub ala napoles kayo naman

    ReplyDelete
  40. Dapat lang kasi di mo ma-trust ang mga producers or organizers. Baka maging ulan sa tag-araw, patak patak ang bayad, kung minsan yung barya sige na lang mabuti kesa di mabayaran. Tama siya, tama siya. International calibre ata.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Buti na lang kamo kahit nagparetoke siya hindi naapektuhan ang boses niya, unlike La A.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Eto yung nagmuka ng A dahil sa retoke

    ReplyDelete
  43. Si 'L' pala to. yung kalokalike ng A. Lol - Inday Kura

  44. gusto nya cash dahil maraming incidents na niloloko lang xa, kaya gora lang teh, kesejodang cash gusto mo, may maipag mamalaki naman gwapong pikoy

    1. Walang masama sa cash payment. Usually kasi ang check ay may 3-day clearing period pa at kung provincial ang check mas matagal ang clearing period. So medyo matagal bago maging literal na pera.

      Second comment ko, sana di na siya nagparetoke ng bonggang bongga..No problem with her voice, she really delivers..At mas gusto ko ang mga tagalog songs niya mas may substance.

  45. If L delivers what is expected of her, why not. Ibinibalik naman Nya yun worth ng pera na ibinayad sa kanya.

    ReplyDelete
  46. L is goo kaya lng makaluma ang mga kanta..iBON THE BEST at kayang magblend sa panahon

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. makaluma is not necessarily a bad thing. the market that appreciates that kind of music is the type who can afford to attend her concerts.

      Delete
  47. There's nothing wrong with that as long as she's doing her work. She deserves it anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Basta declare lang niya ng tama ang cold cash na kinita niya sa kanyang income tax return oks lang iyan.

    ReplyDelete
  49. tama lang. she is asked to sing to please the audience for an event. if she delivers, no problem with cash.

    ReplyDelete
  50. is she avoiding to pay high taxes?

    ReplyDelete
  51. naloko na kc sya before so its not surprising... she's worth the price ...cash or check

    ReplyDelete
  52. ayaw kase niya na tom pa siya babayaran.. Lol

    ReplyDelete
  53. Eaaaazy. Nasa title naman lagi ang initials ng bida e. L ..first row!

    ReplyDelete
  54. That's perfectly fine! And she gets the job done! Love you ID! At totoo nga... It's a preventive measure! I'd love to do thesame!

    ReplyDelete
  55. kung ang katapat ba naman ng pagiging atat sa pera eh world class performance? why not? wala pa naman akong naririnig na sumablay siya sa performances niya. unlike yung iba na matapos mabayaran eh so-so ang performance. kumbaga, nagpakita lang sa venue masabi lang na na-fulfill yung commitment. off-topic: anyway, if this is really L, nagustuhan ko yung boses niya nung kumanta sila. hindi siya nabirit pero nangingibabaw talaga boses niya without the need to upstage the others. unlike Kawayan.

    1. good point. i remember the BI here about the performer who didn't perform well and just sang a few songs

      Delete
  56. If this is L.. If I remember correctly, there was a time na hindi siya nabayaran sa kanyang performance. Maybe that's the reason. Ayaw na niya maulit. It took years of sacrifice and hardwork to be where she is and then lolokohin ka lang. I guess she deserves to demand. After all, sulit naman ang ibabayad.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I personally don't find anything wrong with this. Kanya kanya lang yan. Wala pa akong narinig na nagreklamo about sa mga live performances nya unlike other singers. Sulit ang bayad. More power!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Ibon is far better. This A cannot sustain her high notes.

    ReplyDelete
  59. si A ito. naloko na kase sila. nothing wrong with this attitude. what would be wrong is if she wants more than what producers can afford.

    ReplyDelete
  60. This is Local W turned B doll..

    ReplyDelete
  61. baka naman matindi ang panganga-ilangan. aba! mahal ang gatas ngayon!

    ReplyDelete
  62. ah, si A queen itey. pero magaling talaga sya. im a fan of her.

    ReplyDelete
  63. She is known to be a person of respect of her wit and worldclass talentyet she has something that is not worth what she is receiving from people who admire her. love for money? tsk.tsk. turnoff!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Fact is, she got entangled in some scams.
