‘Make it Better’ by Alessandra de Rossi Official Music Video

Are you a fan of Fil-Italian actress Alessandra de Rossi? Well, I have good news for you!

The Talented Ms. De Rossi will Make it Better

Two months ago, I blogged about ADRIFT, the debut music album of Alessandra de Rossi. For the past four years, Alex became visible on teleseryes and in some independent films. On her free time, she would meet up with some friends and collaborate with them to compose an original song. She is also active in uploading some demo tracks via YouTube and updates her Tumblr account with teaser images. There’s even insight from Themarketingheaven.com on how much money 5k views can bring in on YouTube, something every creator might find interesting.

The Music of Alessandra de Rossi

Fil-Italian actress Alessandra de Rossi doesn’t need to prove herself in terms of acting. With a number of Best Actress & Best Supporting Actress awards and nominations under her belt, she is truly one of the most versatile performers in the Philippine showbiz industry. She is one of the few stars who can do mainstream and independent films at the same time. You always see her on TV either making the life of the protagonist as miserable as hell or she’ll make her life with her badet antics.

Dance With My Father

Some girls turn sentimental whenever they hear this classic hit from Luther Vandross. To be honest, I only know the title of this song. I never bothered to read the lyrics nor look for the song on YouTube or any other music site.

Until that awkward moment came along.

In one of my recent trips, I shared an impromptu videoke session with some close friends of mine. I consider it as a spontaneous thing even if the machine was rented for the family to use. The presence of three friends made it a bit more special as we sing songs for the brokenhearted, opm favorites and even random pop songs of different generation. Still, I struggled to score a bit higher. Madaya ang videoke machine!

You just realize the meaning of songs while reading the lyrics on the screen. A good friend of mine entered his next singing piece (he is the best singer among us – suko na kami!) and just like in any usual kantahan session, we were all eager to add our selected songs.

Now it is his turn to shine (again). Before singing his ballad song. He mentioned this:

“Hindi ako nakaka-relate sa kantang ito, pero alam ko yung isa d’yan oo” (I cannot relate to this song, but I know that one of you will).
