also, because I'm trying to confirm an observation I have regarding Maki and Halca.

I've been listening to Pearl Shadow for the whole day yesterday

I'm beginning to see why fans never really took to Halca :|

Kay Maaki sila attached

it's not just that eh. Part of the problem is that all songs pre-Halca - which is virtually the whole HandMC discography before 2009 - has..

... Maki's stamp on it. The fans were used to her, the way she does the songs.

and that's the OTHER part of the problem. Halca's fine, yes, I'll give her that. My ears don't hurt when she sings

But when you compare how she performs to Maki... it all starts to unravel

Maki... it's not just that Maki's prettier. Maki has this... presence. The songs SPEAK to you, when Maki sings them

and she ROCKS. She injects so much energy into the songs that they come alive inside of you

no offense meant to Halca, pero para siyang tuod. Live OR studio.

you can't do rock that way. Hell, Maki ROCKS even when she's just standing still

Maki just gives that vibrant feel to HaMC. Thing is, their music sounded different after she left.

too true, that, no offense meant to Halca

ditto.

and I'm listening to their single "Amazing" right now. HaMC was a part of my college life, so thanks for the memories HaMC

amazing :3

one of my fave HandMC songs. Iba and imba talaga si Maki XD
