Richard on the news in Philippines

“Something in Your Eyes” with Claire de la Fuente

I was searching for "Richard Carpenter" at British site and found a couple of news articles in Philippines.

....1970s Jukebox Queen Claire de la Fuente, who recently recorded
an album in the US with a lineup of musicians identified with Barbra
Streisand, Michael Jackson and Josh Groban.

The album, whose title track, “Something in Your Eyes,” was originally
composed by Richard Carpenter (of the brother/sister duo The Carpenters) and
sung by Dusty Springfield in 1982, has gained praise from Carpenter himself,
who welcomed De la Fuente in his home last December and has committed to
come to Manila for the record launch in February.

De la Fuente, also known as the Karen Carpenter of the Philippines, said
Richard had likewise agreed to compose a new song for her next album.

Richard, would you come to Japan, please?

Great video Sakura, she's speaking in that mixed Phillipine/English again

What was she crying for during that interview I wonder?

You don't understand, either?

Maybe Richard told her "No, no, no, no" just like at the recording with Dusty. (Just kidding.)
Have you heard the BBC broadcast?


Can you tell what language was used in the newspaper with article about Richard in first video?

I think it was Tagalog - the national language of the Philippines.

Interesting that the song Something In Your Eyes was mentioned. I just attended my cousin's wedding in Malaysia and she sang this song at the wedding dinner reception, as she walked toward her bridegroom. It was great!
