This online voting process will make up 30% of the overall scores to determine a winner. The other 70% will be determined by global music judges.

Voting is simple

a) Open voting page and you will see two sections – on the left side will be the various categories. On the right side will be the popfolio player.It will be empty in the beginning and will take 60 seconds to load all songs.
b) Choose a category/s you want to vote and automatically the page will expand at the bottom to reveal the nominees and the links to the artistes music profile (view)
c) Choose the nominee you want to vote for. Or if you need more info or to listen to the songs of the indie act, then click view and you will get to access the artiste songs and info.
d) Do take note that sometimes the artistes profile page may be slow to open due to high traffic.We encourage fans and friends familiar with the act to visit the acts other sites such as myspace, reverbnation, facebook or even youtube to gain access to songs and info. This will act as a back up plan.
e) You may vote as many times as you want but do take note there will be a lapse of almost 10 seconds between each vote.
f) The popfolio player on the main page which is empty in the beginning will start revealing all the songs after 60 seconds. This acts as a further back up plan to allow music votes to access songs to the nominated acts.However, please ignore the categories on the side of the songs.

I know found out that “Parang si Ely Buendia” is a new song by Soapdish and they will be launching the music video of the song Friday, March 26 at Ten 02 Bar in Timog, Quezon City. (With performances by Above Zero, Cunejo, Silent Sanctuary, Rubberpool and Soapdish).

Ok, since that is out of the way… What’s up with the title.. or the song?! I don’t want to assume that I am right, but don’t you guys think that this band who made this “Parang si Ely Buendia” song is just riding Mr. Buendia’s popularity? Maybe hoping that they will get a few of the masses’ attention to them, you know a little spotlight?

heck, anyway, here’s the lyrics of the song.

“Parang si Ely Buendia” Lyrics

Walang ibang makukumpara
Sa akin ay walang iba
Naggigitara siya maghapon
Kumakanta buong taon

Pati pa nga sa porma niya
Pito ata Chuck Taylor niya
Pantalong kupas at punit
Matang naniningkit

Bokalista siya ng banda nila
May boses na mapapaibig ka
Halina na tayo’y sumama

Nagigitara na kumakanta pa siya
Parang si Ely Buendia

Pangarap lang niya ay mapunta
Sa radyo, songhits ang kanta niya
Awiting ipagmamalaki
Ikinakanta sa videoke

Bokalista siya ng banda nila
May boses na mapapaibig ka
Halina na tayo’y pumila

Nagigitara na kumakanta pa siya
Parang si Ely Buendia

…

Turuan mo ako, turuan mo ako

Dahil gusto ko na ring kumanta
Bumili na rin ng gitara
Meron ding Chuck Taylor puti
At sabay kaway, sabay ngiti

Bokalista siya ng banda nila
May boses na mapapaibig ka
Halina na tayo’y pumila

Nagigitara na kumakanta pa siya
Parang si Ely Buendia
