NOT A few raised their collective eyebrows when theater veteran Lea Salonga took a swipe at a contestant’s bashers.
Ayaw magpaawat ni Aling Lea when she tweeted, “Just because an artist that gets into TVOP doesn’t conform to your taste, it doesn’t give you the right to bash them. Wala kang karapatan.”
Wittingly or unwittingly, Lea opened herself on harsh criticism when followers of one website was besieged with nasty comments against the singer.
“Sumosobra na tong si Lea kala mo kung sinong magsalita pero kung mag bash sya tse hypokrita mo,” one guy opined.
“Don’t take my fan, don’t call me tita, can’t say this or that, do as I say but not as I do. Lea sounds like a hypocritical dictator,” say naman ng isang nag-comment.
One thought that “Baka patama nya dun sa isang artist na walang umikot kahit isa. This artist vented it out sa social media eh inayunan naman ng mga friends nya. Sumobra birit ni artist masakit sa tenga, sobra na hurt sya at wala nga umikot. Tinawag pang laos na daw ang mga coaches. Bitter much lang kase. Mahirap naman kasi sa ibang mga artist/s sobrang bilib sa sarili. Haven’t made it pa nga antipatiko na ka agad. Sabi ko nga in this industry, makisama, makibaka lang kung may social relevance ang pinaglalaban mo.”
Eh, ano naman kaya ang masasabi ni Lea sa mga celebrities na ginagamit ang social media para mag-promote ng kung anu-ano at hikayatin ang kanilang followers para panoorin sila? Hindi ba’t nakakasuka ang mga artistang super promote ng kanilang shows to the point na nagmumukha na silang alipin ng kanilang network?
