Title: What made Sitti so popular?
Post by: skunkyfunk on October 26, 2006, 12:50:37 PM
To be dubbed "Queen of Bossa" is something to be taken seriously.  Her success in the business is so phenomanal that most clueless listeners get turned on to Bossa Nova even though there are people in the business who are far more entitled to being the title Sitti is getting.

There is an ongoing quarrel at the pinoyjazz Yahoo mailing list so I just wanted to know how you guys think.  I thnk I like Nyco Maca much better.

Sitti? Ha! No way. For me Flora Purim and Astrud Gilberto are the meter stick to which a bossa nova singer must be measured. IMO.

I think it's not so much the singer, but the songs ..

If you look at her album list, it's got a pretty good mix of easy-listening pop tunes that sound catchy, but haven't been enjoying airplay lately. So, there's that 'nostalgic' appeal.. And of course, add to that the 'bossa' touch ..

So, there's that feeling of: 'hey, I know that song, but it sounds different! Who is it?'

Not sure if it's a good comparison, but it could probably the same formula that propelled Nina's 'Live' album to the top of the charts not too long ago.

Bossa nova has definitely been around for a long time. So many unknowns who can probably do it ten times better have all but vanished into oblivion..

sitti s voice is so thin that it sounds like a cihip and dale anime voice but still in tuned, and her back up musicians are great, but the punch line is her beauty :mrgreen: hehehehe ganda ni sitti at seksi  kaya sikat

Yeah, and the marketing leverage really got her on the spot. Oh well, that's the Philippine Music Biz for you.  :-P

Well, yes, the marketing leverage definitely helped but ..

I do believe that its the songs themselves that 'sold' the album.

And in fairness to Sitti, she's also 'paid her dues' as a gigging musician. For quite some time, I do believe she was one of the regulars at the Stone House cafe/grill before she became a household name.

So, whatever success she's reaping now, she's definitely earned it well.
Title: Re: What made Sitti so popular?
Post by: frogfunk on October 27, 2006, 08:27:53 AM
Every musician must go through that rite of passage: seemingly endless gigs, etcetera.

I guess we have to give her that: She paid her dues somehow.

I know that it's already been mentioned but let me say that probably the reason why she's dubbed as such (Queen) is because she's the only one doing it. Regardless of whom comes next from then on it's undeniable that she's the first in this period of time.

So, I dub thee Queen Sitti.  :-D

Sitti is popular with D'Masang Pipol because they sense that she's a beautiful human being. That's why they adore her.

That's why WE adore her.

i sessioned on drums last monday for Fair Ground at Stone House...Sitti was there.  Took pics of her with my girlfriend.  She was very accommodating and friendly.  I told her I gave Ronna (gf) her album as an Anniv present last Aug. 29 and she really appreciated.

If you've heard Agot's rendition of ONL's "Umuwi Ka Na Baby", I'm sure uuwi nga talaga yun...

Hi din po. =)

Well... if Sitti is currently "The Queen of Bossa", i'm her knight in shining armor. A knight in service of the queen. Guess that's been kinda obvious over on Pinoy Jazz.

I've always been very protective of friends, family and loved ones.

Sitti's one of the good guys/gals.

Love and peace to all.

I loved Ugoy Ugoy but it must've been expensive keeping that band together because of all the players. In the meantime Lynn Sherman is trying to make it as a soloist. But of course Lynn wasn't what made the band truly special it was all those amazing horns.

So do I actually. But authenticity and soul isn't what necessarily sells to the masses - Sitti is light, sachharine, reasonably attractive, easy to digest, and the selection of familiar easy listening pop tunes set to a light samba beat sells a lot of coffee when they start playing it at Seattle's Best. Nyco Maca and Eileen of Guarana are closer to the real thing but maybe the fact that they can sing in Portugese and are backed by bitchin' brazillian percussion ensembles (cuicas, agogos, samba whistles, the whole ball of Uly Abante type wax) doesn't impress the average joe. But I know that Nyco Maca knocked me out the first time I heard her live.

Sitti is a packet of Equal. Nyco is a line of cocaine.

Caught Sitti's Eastwood gig last night.

Pretty good performance. Nice moments of phrasing on Sitti's part. And she sang in tune the whole night. This despite being hella tired. (Ahhh... the price of fame... weariness)

She's grown quite a bit since making Cafe Bossa.

While most of these Sitti clones are just "some chicks" to me, Sitti herself ain't.

Don't know about you guys but to this dawg, she's ayt.

sitti sings well but for me, doesn't get into bossa jiggy that much.
Bossa is like teleporting to a distant land, while sitti is just, err, singing.

When i was younger, in my 20's, my purpose was to dazzle with prestidigitation.

Now, i'm in my 30's and my intent is to delve into true magic.

It's my humble opinion that this involves singing of who you are.

Sitti sings of who she is.

That's why I, for one, respect her.

Yes, she has a ways to go, as do we all but all things considered, Sitti is not just "some chick". I consider her an artist worthy of salute.

As my esteemed father is fond of saying, ten million Elvis fans can't be wrong.

Mishka's now in London. She's been based there for almost a year now.

She had a pretty huge farewell concert before she left. And she threw a despedida party at her house before she left, too.

Re Sitti: agreed. She's also a beautiful human being. No diva-ish-ness whatsoever. Very impressive.

OT: Sir! Borrowed your CD from a friend. Nice thing you got going in the disc, sir! May mga kopya pa ba kayo? He wasn't able to have it autographed by you so I'll bring it with me when I buy from you.

Good to know that Sitti has that attitude towards her music. From someone who's into the Philippine Jazz vein your word is close to gospel.

I'm not really a fan of her singing but with the kind of mindset she has and knowing what she wants she'll go beyond wherever she is right now in her music and her life as an artist.

Like the Fight Science feature on the National Geographic channel said, no matter how strong or fast a warrior is, it is still the heart of the warrior that counts.

I think i remember you guys - "No excuse for a name" from Clientlogic? Well you guys won that fair and square, and all the judges (raims, cooky, jett, kedy, etc.) thought so. Maybe you should start a "call center/BPO band" thread in another forum. I honestly don't know where you guys would find the time to rehearse and gig given shifting. I spent a year in purgatory at Accenture BPO on a night shift schedule and it just zapped my social life and was glad to escape with my sanity intact.  Anyway this is getting way off topic, best to move this to another thread/forum :)

I agree. As what was previously mentioned, it's all because of her packageing, her looks and probably her contacts. Artistically wala akong makita. This is absolutely just pure commercialism so definetely it'll just fall to the "pop" category. IMHO sana nga nag-variety na lang sya o kaya acoustic or maybe R&B pwede rin kasi. Sa Bossa Nova or sa Jazz in general di pagandahan or kelangan cute ka. Look at Miles Davis or Thelonius Monk o kaya Carmen McRae, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn or Betty Carter. Do they look cute to you guys? They're not appealing to me in any way physically but these people....they're pure talent. Now that's genuine and authentic jazz and that's the reason why these people became immortals.

Just a thought, after 10 or say 20 years kung kulubot at losyang na si Sitti....kilala pa kaya sya? Kasi si Ella di ko na inabot ng buhay pero all I can say is that.... :roll:uhmmmn...ewan ko basta in-love ako sa pagkanta nya.

Andon ako sa gig niya kagabi sa 19 East.

Ang ganda-ganda niya talaga, as in. Pramis.

And the really nice thing about Sitti is that she's equally sweet to everyone. She's just as sweet to watch-your-car boys and security guards as she is to managers and congressmen.

Finally nakuha ko na kopya ko ng demo na ginawa namin ng dalawa kong kanta. Sana pumasa sa Warner para maisama sa 2nd studio album niya.

Ang ganda-ganda talaga ni Sitti!

First of all you really need to take a back seat in assessing the music 'market' in the Philippines. Who are the listeners? Who is/are your target market/s?

After a careful thinking of who or what clicks - you may want to ask the following questions:

 - Who are the listeners? - general mass market; audio/music - philes; critics; radio-listeners; cd/dvd buyers; college/high school kids, etc, etc...
 - Who ended up buying the music? - again, which one of the above.
 - Timing is another important factor!

Then again you may one to ask the question - is it really the 'magaling' ones that get the mass appeal? or is it the 'saleable-to-the-masa/listeners'?

Often time you find that the 'magaling', authentic ones (the supposed deserving ones) that do not get the attention. Why?

You may argue that Flor Purim/Airto Moreira, Astrud/Joao Jobim, LAni Hall, Gracina Leporace etc. etc. are the starndard bearers...but who are these artists to the majority of listeners. In other words...the 'common listener' is not the 'afficionado', the 'common listener' does not really care if the pronounciation is Carioca or Italian or Frenchy.  What do they care about;  or what makes them listen.

Maybe Sitti had that 'voice-of-the-time' as did Barbie, Kitchie, or the girl of UP Dharma Down or the girl of MYMP. And it so happened that 'that voice-of-the-moment' was timely used in Bossa NOva.

I am a purist and a hard critic of artists BUT again, I do not follow the 'mass market' mentality. You may say that I would not be able to produce/choose a 'Nora Aunor' because I simple do not ride on that 'taste'. I go for the 'original' feel, for the 'pure' sound, and for this kind of taste/attitude, I will not be able to make the mass market like 'my kind of music'.

I may not be 'the market', you may not be 'the market'; bottom line is you'll make money IF YOU KNOW AND WILL SATISFY THE MARKET.

Do you know your market?

I met her way before sya sumikat and she's really very nice and napaka yumi.She has a nice voice but according to some di naman daw ganun talaga ang pagkanta ng bossa.Well anyway,in fairness soothing ang voice nya.Siguro naka add narin sa pagsikat nya ngayon ay nagkaroon ng panibagong flavor sa pinoy music scene.Nauso showband,then acoustic tapos balik yung alternative band..biglang pumasok si Sitti with her Bossa Nova music na di gaanong popular sa masa.Syempre for a non musician listener panibagong tunog to at nagustuhan naman ng pinoy.. :wink:

it's really difficult to strike a balance between being faithful to a genre, and personalizing your own music. it's purely a matter of personal preference, and you're not likely to reach a point where nobody would criticize you. and just for the sake of argument, even if there's a point where everybody will be happy your music, maybe you won't, because your work would be lacking in artistic integrity.

the brazilians don't seem to be complaining -- maybe sitti is doing just fine. slightly OT -- i got to play for her a few times. she's very easy to work with, very pretty and charming.

i guess sometimes it just boils down to whether or not the music is pleasing to the ears, and that is entirely subjective, and will vary from person to person. sitti's popularity i guess is one indication that a lot of people like her -- whether it's her voice, her looks, or the entire package. the purists don't seem to be happy, but nowadays, "genre-bending" isn't exactly something new.

She's not poor. She doesn't need the money that badly.

Look at showbiz artistas in this country. See how they're treated. Witness how they treat themselves.

As someone who loves Sitti as person, as human, as friend, it breaks my heart to see her walk that path.

It breaks my heart to see her name linked with Aiza Seguerra's (showbiz tsismax generated by illusion-addled monkey minds).

It breaks my heart to hear of how badly she acts. It breaks my heart to see people make fun of her and how she dances.

It breaks my heart to hear her still sing slightly out of tune.

It breaks my heart to peer into a possible future.

Linked to whoever the new Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual will be, she'll be the new Anne Curtis or Angel Locsin. She and her leading man will be linked in real-life (pero tsismax intriga ever lang dahil sa totoong buhay vadingger-lacious everlooh talaga ang lolo mo, vaglah).

Puputaktehin siya ng mga obit. Sabi niya dehin niya type ang eksenang ganitech pero malay mo... sa mundo ng showbiz, maraming ilusyon. Akala mo walang batas, walang bawal. Sa dami ng droga, kemikal, alak, ilusyon... sa dami ng mga ilusyong pampatulog ng kaluluwa....

Sitti, dear Sitti, you can be so much more than this.
You are so much more than this already, if you but remember.

Sitti, please, for your own sake....

Tread carefully. Keep your eyes wide open, your feet on the ground, your soul in the magic of the wide open sky.

And when they're gone
your name forgotten
i'll still be calling your name
you are the queen who lights my day


Ingat lang, kapatid.

I remember playing guitar for Sitti once. She was 4 hours late for the performance hahaha.

She has nice legs  :lol:

But actually, she's a nice person and at least she's made people aware that Bossa Nova EXISTS. Kahit na hindi "real bossa" ang sikat ngayon (SORRY AH, DISCIPLE PO TALAGA AKO NI JOBIM, JOAO, ASTRUD AT GETZ HAHAHA  :-D) at least people know it exists and people are getting into this wonderful old groove again.

Naasar lang ako when Sitti said nung performance "Let's play just with the guitar, sax and drums because THE REAL ORIGINAL BOSSA HAD NO PAINO" Medyo thought balloon moment ako dun: "So Antonio Carlos Jobim was a pianist. Jobim is the person accredited as Inventor of Bossa is not REAL ORIGINAL bossa nova?" hahah. Well, I just shut up na lang and play cause people are there to see her and not me hahhaa!

One reason I repeatedly listen to some of her songs is HER BAND!

Ang lupit nila lahat! I suggest you look for her Live album and listen to:

Track 16 - Pais Tropical
Track 17 - Mas Que Nada

Hindi ko ma-explain eh. Malabo kase ang bossa, bumibilis minsan pero oks lang pakinggan. Pinaka-idol ko yung drummer niya  :-o

Track 17 - Mas Que Nada

Hindi ko ma-explain eh. Malabo kase ang bossa, bumibilis minsan pero oks lang pakinggan. Pinaka-idol ko yung drummer niya  :-o

 :mrgreen:

Seryoso? Idol mo yung drummer? Bossa na walang humpay na rolling?

That guy needs to practise with a metronome.

No, but she was once told by a Brazilian that she has "the soul of a carioca", which or may or may not be a compliment.

sitti s voice is so thin that it sounds like a cihip and dale anime voice but still in tuned, and her back up musicians are great, but the punch line is her beauty :mrgreen: hehehehe ganda ni sitti at seksi  kaya sikat

Yun yun eh...

She's a decent singer, but not that great. Easy listening din kasi ang Bossa Nova, at maraming Pilipino rin naman ang nakaka-appreciate ng easy listening... Tsaka sa palagay ko dito lang sa Pilipinas applicable ang title niyang "Bossa Nova Queen" kasi kung hindi, malaking pambabastos naman iyon kay Astrud Gilberto at sa iba pang mas deserving...

ganda ng boses, naiba rin sa kanta since puro pop at extreme sounds while sa kanya mas relaxing ang tema na mas prefer ng maraming tao

Gail Blanco I may say parang si Sitti rin  :mrgreen: I found her way of singing na passionate din  :mrgreen:

mas magaling kasi yung pagpromote kay Sitti compared to the others.

MISMO! Kaya yung question ay dapat i rephrase to : WHO made Sitti so popular?
Title: Re: What made Sitti so popular?
Post by: kawal on September 15, 2009, 12:34:53 PM
^Sitti started about 7 or 8 years ago singing jazz standards (and konting bossa) sa mga hotel lounges. she was managed by gary trinidad back then. come 05, together with warner music. they recorded the album Cafe Bossa. it was recorded sa loob ng isang CR (yup. sa isang restroom), ng isang pasada lang. siguro warner did not want to put too much "bet on the pot" dahil hindi siguro ganun ka-assured na magki-click ang bossa. for a while there had not been any bossa nova recording done sa local scene. sino ba dati? bong peņera? jackie magno?

tapos, yun na. the album cafe bossa hits gold in 3 months and platinum in 5 yata; double platinum before 06 ended. but sitti continued her usual gigs. tapos naglipana na yung "pang-bossa" ng ibang record companies. sitti did a live gig in 06 na naging record album. this made double platinum in a few months after being released. she still did her typical gigs and syempre raket sa kung saan meron. then the album "my bossa nova" later 07, which also made double platinum. then she got boy abunda as her manager. then gigs abroad. pakonti-konting gigs nalang. last month kaka-release lang nung new album nya. all four recorded albums were done by warner.

with that info, you should be able to pretty much figure out who or what made Sitti popular. there should be a lot of answers to that question and most of them would probably be correct.

i do enjoy watching Sitti, iba rin kasi ang aura kapag siya ang nagpeperform, carry din niya.
besides, wala namang paki ang average listener kung pure bossa o hindi, basta enjoy lang sa music... and yeah, she has a very good voice!
two thumbs up kay Sitti! :)

EDIT: oh yes, she's really pretty! package deal talaga -- looks + talent... astig :)
