Songs Choose Their Singers

I wrote this post because I find these stuff remarkable. There are a lot of songs that were given to certain artists first before they got to the hands of the artists who popularized them. I also know that you can find these through the World Wide Web but I wanted to compile it for you guys to enjoy. (ang bait ko diba? :_)

I got these bits of information from my Twitter friends then I looked it up on Wikipedia.

Ryan Tedder said that he only tentatively offered the track Halo to Leona Lewis after Beyoncé initially took a long time to record it.

I train people who like to work in call centers. I came up with this list because I noticed that most Filipinos translate Filipino words to English literally. It’s called direct translation or transliteration.

I got these transliterations from my former trainees. I tried my best to correct them here.
Feel free to comment (or correct).

Filipino expressions are italicized, the transliterations are in brackets, and the suggested expressions are in bold letters.
