Red carpet glam on striking stripes that’s the theme of the “Myx Awards 2016” at the Kia Theatre, Cubao, Quezon city last March 15, 20
Expect it to be a star studded event, expect all the young rising stars and well acclaimed artists to be attending. It was my first time to attend to this particular awards night, it may be the hippest and grand awards I’ve attended (Hello I was surrounded by people from the media industry).
I didn’t really expect to meet Bretman rock who attended the event (I recently entered a contest for a makeup brand, to be able to win a M&G but sadly no luck for me. I’m glad I got to see him at the event- it was meant to be and highlight of my night!) and got the chance to chitchat with him a bit plus, a selfie too! Excuse my haggard face I just got from duty then attended an event at BGC prior then going back to Quezon city was a hassle (the travel time at EDSA – so much kill time).
My good friend Maris Racal @mariesteller attended as a presenter and my good friend’s sister, Sophia Andres too, It was nice seeing them and didn’t expect to see my nephew (one of the stylist at the Myx awards) -Follow at @rianfernandez888. Shout out to my good friend Sam Hidalgo and her bestfriend for accompanying me!
Imagine myself fangirling to those artists I really like and mandatory for me to ask for a simple selfie.
I got a copy of the list of nominees that night and yeah It was a competitive line-up (everybody was deserving). So its the viewers who gets to choose, I think. You have to vote and register online at the website.
The past Myx awards, I heard usually Sarah Geronimo and Yeng Constantino bag a lot the awards but yet lets give chance to others this time and the tables turned around. Surprisingly, Nadine Lustre dominated the Myx music awards and won a lot! Her named seemed to appeared in different categories along with her IRL partner James Reid. I thought Kathryn Bernardo may stand a chance but the JADINE phenomenon dominates (Certified OTWOLISTA fan here!)
Nadine Lustre was the top winner of the MYX Music Awards 2016, sweeping a total of five awards including Favorite Music Video, Favorite Song, Favorite Artist, Favorite Female Artist, and Favorite Collaboration along with boyfriend and onscreen partner James Reid.
Another big winner at the awards night was young artist Darren Espanto who took home two awards for Favorite Male Artist and Favorite MYX Celebrity VJ.
RnB princess Kyla also shone brightly at the MYX Music Awards as she won Favorite Remake and Favorite Media Soundtrack for her rendition of “On the Wings of Love.”
OPM icon Ogie Alcasid was a big star of the evening as well as he was recognized as this year’s MYX Magna awardee for his tremendous contribution in the local music scene.As a tribute, a mind blowing medley of some of Ogie’s best hits was performed by top OPM artists Jaya, Erik Santos, Christian Bautista, Yeng Constantino, Kyla, Angeline Quinto, Jona, Matteo Guidicelli, Jay-R, Aicelle Santos, and Top Suzara that earned a standing ovation from the audience.
My mom loves Ogie Alcasid, we have his album in our car and my mom plays it when she drops us to school. Then I saw him around our area, I was like this man was part of my childhood and since I heard he is gonna receive an award – He so deserves it. He is an OPM icon and brilliant song writer 🙂
And ika nga mabuhay ang OPM! I was able to watch the performance up front and it was so INTENSE, singing with OPM classic(s) that I’ve grew up hearing and singing to it as well. Matteo Guidicelli, was a revelation to me – he did really have a good voice (I just had a slight fangirl moment).
