Jessica Sanchez – ‘Change Nothing’ Studio Version (Audio)

Jessica Sanchez – ‘Change Nothing’ Studio Version (Audio)

The AI judges made us think that this song is awful that’s why no one is buying this on iTunes. But actually it wasn’t that bad at all. Check out the studio version of Jessica’s single “Change Nothing” and decide for yourself.



“Change Nothing” is an original song written by Jaden Michaels, Joleen Belle and Harry Sommerdahl. It was given to Jessica Sanchez during the American Idol Top 2 performance night as her winner’s single and will eventually become her debut single in case she wins the show.
But she lost and we all know parts of the reason why. The White Guy With Guitar had a better song accompanied with lavish production that garnered an overrated standing ovation from the judges. #StillBitter
Anyway, Check out the studio version of “Change Nothing” and the lyrics.



“Change Nothing” Lyrics:

Everyday I’m waking up to déjà vu
Someone it’s always telling me
Not to stick with you
Could it be the nights we spent to fixing us
I never thought that we were really
That messed up
Should have shut my mouth and kept it all to myself
Cause now they’ve got me feeling I should be with somebody else
They say we don’t fit together
I could do better
There’s always something
They don’t know the hell we’ve been through
Cause when you hold me like you do
That’s when I wanna change nothing

There were times when we would kiss with bitter lips
It don’t matter when the good ones taste like this
Maybe we were broken more than once or twice
What we got bad or not I’m not gonna compromise
I should have never let that words get under my skin
Cause all i ever wanted was to find a way through this
They say we don’t fit together
I could do better
There’s always something
They don’t know the hell we’ve been through
Cause when you hold me like you do
That’s when I wanna change nothing
That’s when I wanna change nothing
Should have shut my mouth and kept it all to myself
No
No
Ooooh
Yeah

They say we don’t fit together
I could do better
There’s always something
They don’t know the hell we’ve been through
Cause when you hold me like you do
That’s when I wanna change nothing
That’s when I wanna change nothing
That’s when I wanna change nothing
That’s when I wanna change nothing
Oh that’s when I wanna change nothing

Jake, Bangs, and Shaina, Thank OFWs for Their Drama Series

Hundreds of overseas Filipino workers were touched by the timely story of the first “OFW-serye” of ABS-CBN titled “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo,” which was shown in special screenings held in various parts of the Middle East including the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Doha, Qatar.



Lead stars Jake Cuenca, Bangs Garcia, and Shaina Magdayao, together with the series’ co-director, Lino Cayetano, personally joined the Filipinos in the Middle East who witnessed the first few episodes “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo.”

The cast expressed their gratitude to the OFws who served as the main inspiration of their drama series. “We made this especially for you, so we hope that you will like it,” said Jake to the OFWs who went to the special screening hosted by The Filipino Channel (TFC). “We want to show, especially to the viewers in the Philippines, the real story of hardship and sacrifices of people working abroad.”

After the screening, a mix of emotions from the audience members filled the venues; most of them cried and missed their loved ones because of the realistic portrayal of the life of OFWs in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the plot thickens in “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo” as Paul (Jake) and Sarah (Shaina) start their married life. Now that they have decided to live with Paul’s family, the strength of love will be put to test with the meddling of Remedios (Gloria Diaz) in their relationship. Unlike other wives who remain meek despite the harshness of their mothers-in-law, Sarah knew how to protect herself. With her wife and her mother’s clash, whose side will Paul be on?

Together with Jake, Bangs, and Shaina in “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo” are Gloria Diaz, Sandy Andolong, Maria Isabel Lopez, Ronnie Lazaro, Dick Ysrael, Nikki Valdez, Jojit Lorenzo, Ron Morales, and David Chua. It is directed by Manny Palo and Lino Cayetano.

Don’t miss the country's first ever "OFW-serye," “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo,” after “Mundo Man ay Magunaw” in ABS-CBN’s Kapamilya Gold. For more updates log on to www.abs-cbn.com or follow @abscbndotcom on Twitter.

Ara Mina Longs for Cristine Reyes' Sincere Apology

Ara Mina and Cristine Reyes to reconcile very soon?



Ara Mina mulls withdrawing libel case against her half-sister, Cristine Reyes, specially now that the latter dedicated her Box-Office Queen trophy to her.

During the Guillermo Mendoza Box Office Entertainment Award on Sunday, April 29, Cristine gave an emotional speech when she accepted her Box Office Queen award for "No Other Woman" (the awards she shared with Anne Curtis).

Reyes said "Hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman ninyo na meron akong pinagdadaanan. Dine-dedicate ko ito sa kanila (her family) at sa ate ko na naging inspirasyon ko sa pag-aartista ko"

Earlier, Reyes also sent her ate Ara text messages saying sorry for the libelous messages that she earlier sent.

Ara Mina felt the apology via text was insincere.

"Nagti-text nga siya. Sabi niya kalimutan na raw namin ‘yung nangyari alang-alang kay Mommy. Pero hindi ko maramdaman ‘yung sincerity, e."

Now that Cristine dedicated her award to her, will Ara finally change her mind?

Jessica Sanchez, Next in Line to Sing Philippine National Anthem in Pacman's Bout

Jessica Sanchez may be next in line to sing the Philippine National Anthem or "Lupang Hinirang" in our Pambansang Kamao Manny Paquiao's future bout.



The 8-division world boxing champion expressed his admiration to the 16-year-old Filipino Mexican singer who is currently among the Top 5 of the ongoing 11th season of American Idol. Pacman even predicted that Jessica Sanchez will win.

In an interview with ABS-CBNNews.com, the Saranggani Congressman said he is praying for Sanchez, and he believes she can win the whole competition.

"Jessica, good luck and we're praying for you. Sana manalo ka. No, hindi sana. I declare that you're gonna win in Jesus' name," he said.

However, in Pacman's June 9 fight against Timothy Bradley, Filipina-New Yorker Kirby Asunto has already been assigned the highly-coveted job of singing the country's theme song.

So if ever, Jessica will be lined-up in Pacman's bout after Bradley, and it should not be Mexican because the American Idol singing sensation is half-Mexican. If that happens, Jessica might end up singing 3 national anthems in one bout: USA's, Mexico's and Philippines', how cool is that?

Furthermore, it will depend on Jessica's management in case she makes it to the final 2 of the reality singing competition. Will the company that will manage the winner and runner up (19) allow her to do so?

Those who have sung the Philippine National Anthem in Pacquiao's previous fights include Charice, Maria Aragon, Sarah Geronimo, Lani Misalucha, Christian Bautista, Kyla, Jennifer Bautista, Jonalyn Viray, Aicelle Santos, Maricar Garcia, Arnel Pineda, and American Idol alumn Thia Megia.
