MAY exodus nga ba over at GMA ng mga mahuhusay na mang-aawit? At nagkataon lang kaya that this pack of “crossers-over” have names that begin with letter “J”?
First and quite a long time ago, there was R&B Prince Jay-R. Later, sinundan siya ni Jonalyn Viray who was rechristened simply Jona. At ang pinakahuli na bahagi na ng It’s Showtime ay si Jaya. All topnotch performers who lost their singing platform nang masibak sa ere ang Sunday All Stars ng GMA and was replaced by Sunday PinaSaya.
Dahil isa-isang nagluluksuhan ang mga mahuhusay na singer ng istasyon sa ABS-CBN, isn’t this reason enough para ma-bother ang GMA which—let’s face it—wala na ngang gaanong maningning na bituin ay nalalagasan pa ng mga singers?
Sa aminin man ng network o hindi, such crossover (brain drain ang katumbas nito sa mga professionals who choose to work abroad) is reflective of how it treats—or mistreats—its artists.
