Stars do come and go.
Entertainment is an industry where people make money out of amusing
their viewers with their talent or skills. It might be out of a funny instance
or out of the celebrity’s one-of a kind ability.
Many have dreamed but very few were lucky enough to achieve
what they have dreamed of. This post list out the celebrities who I think will
rule the entertainment world in the coming years.
I made a short-list of upcoming stars, mostly teen stars who
have barely been in the business, or who have just getting fair recognition recently.
Here it goes! First of my Top 10 series, My Top 10 upcoming stars that will most likely
rule our picture tubes or will lead the box-office lines next year!
Runner-ups!
Elmo Magalona, Martin del Rosario, Bea Binene, Khalil Ramos, Barbie Forteza,
Paulo Avelino, Jerome Ponce, Janella Salvador, Eula Caballero, Meg Imperial,
Yam Concepcion
These stars have been barely in the business and have gained
quite good amount of followings and appreciation. Given the right treatment and
project, these celebs would surely go places. We have seen them act, some sing
and danced but their names, safe enough to say, became part of our households
recently because of the series and gigs they have appeared to. Needless to say,
these network stars can make it bigtime if the machineries and exposures are
treated with high regards.
However nothing is permanent, thousands of teenager hopefuls
fall in lines and wait for their chance of stardom, how long can they stay
strong to keep their careers going? Only time can tell.
10. Angeline Quinto
A singing contest champion, Angeline has proven that she can
stay long on this business. Right after the Sharon Coneta hosted singing
contest Star Power, hopes are up for Angeline. She landed a hit debut album and
a movie with ABS-CBN’s flavor of the month Coco Martin. Though the box-office result
of her first movie venture did not turn out as expected, ABS-CBN still gave her
a lead role on a primetime romantic comedy series “Kahit Konting Pagtingin”
with no less than Paulo Avelino and Sam Milby. This proved enough that the
Kapamilya Network is optimistic that they can do the same magic they did with
Sarah Geronimo.
Given the right approach and a better packaging, I believe that
Angeline can show her detractors that she is not just a singing champ who
passes by.
9. Julie Anne San Jose
A former Popstar Kids finalist, Julie Anne has grown up to be
a proud young musician. She sings well, she plays instruments and composes her
own songs. Her multi-platinum debut CD was a success along with the awards and
recognitions on her belt. Aside from that, her online fans are a force to
reckon with. Her movie with Elmo Magalona though was a disappointment, showed
the trust Kapuso Network has bestowed on her.
Her new look shows a more mature and aggressive Julie Anne,
far from the sweet and promising hopeful we’ve seen on SOP days. I believe that
she will be more successful if she ventured herself more on her music than
being an actress. Her team should focus on cementing her status as a
record-selling singer and hopefully everything else will follow.
8. Julia Barretto
A stunning young beauty with a promising career ahead of
her; that is what everyone says whenever Julia’s name is dragged to convos. Being
a Barretto indeed has its perks despite the controversies they are facing right
now. Reportedly, she will lead her own teleserye soon; a far cry from the usual
supporting roles or second wheels that newbies get commonly.
Julia exudes a Gretchen Barretto-appeal while her Claudine
Barretto-like acting prowess has yet to be seen. How will Julia fare on the
boob tube? Let’s wait and see!
7. Jessie Mendiola
After
being seen on commercials, Star Magic tapped and groomed her to be one of its
prime artists. She starred “Gimik 2010”, a mellow hit remake of the
teen-oriented show “Gimik” showed almost a decade ago. Within a year, she led
her own titled-role series “Sabel” which is a mild hit and starred on movies in
between. Her series “Paraiso” was a
qualified success and apparently a “Maria Mercedez” remake is on the way.
Can the Kapamilya Network make a better version of Kristine Hermosa out of
Jessie? We’ll have to wait and see!
6. Richard Yap
Richard Yap, the ultimate dream guy of our yayas and moms
alike! After being Papa Chen on the Kim Chiu series “My Binondo Girl”, he is
now Sir Chief to everyone! After starring in the daytime mega hit “Be Careful
with my Heart”, life was a 360 for Richard; endorsements fell in line and a
movie is on the way. What more can a 40 year old businessman turned actor can
wish for.?
Truly an unconventional tale of fame, Richard has proven
that age does not matter on the business of entertainment! We will see a lot of Sir Chief more this
coming months as his network preps up big projects for him.
5. Alden Richards
A good looking face matched with a precise talent for
acting, Alden is Kapuso’s biggest shot for stardom. If they made Angel, Marian
and Richard the stars they are now, they can surely make it with Alden this
time. His hit series with Louise Delos Reyes “One True Love” enticed the fans
with his matinee idol charms while his performance on the horror movie “The
Road” gave us a glimpse of his talent as an actor. With teleseryes on his belt
and right movies on the way, Alden is definitely one of the upcoming stars to
watch out for.
4. Enrique Gil and Xian Lim
Both Enrique and Xian have been there for quite some time
but weren’t getting attention until 2012.
Enrique starred on the hit Kathryn Bernardo led series
“Princess and I” sharing billing with Daniel Padilla and Khalil Ramos. Aside
from the TV series, he starred on movies “The Reunion” and “Way Back Home”.
Enrique proved that he has the X-factor and ABS-CBN is not numb to not notice
that; big projects are lined for this young star. A star-studded teleserye with
Julia Montes is on the works and movies on the follow.
Xian Lim was one of the hopefuls before, I
remember him on the Kim-Gerald’s weekly drama series “My Only Hope”. He has the
leading man built and a very Pinoy look but it was not enough to get the
bigwigs’ attention, it was until “My Binondo Girl” which proved that his
chemistry with Kim Chiu was not behind of Gerald Anderson’s. The series paved
way for big endorsements and another big series “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” which
currently hooks viewers all around the world. A KimXi movie is the only thing
that is lacking however a report says that this is bound to happen anytime this
year.
3. Kathryn Bernardo
After the Mara Clara remake which she shared along Julia
Montes, Kathryn Bernardo became a household name. Kathryn is the new teen queen
of this generation, her team up with Daniel is exciting and her acting ability
is promising.
A Goin’ Bulilit veteran, this child star has grown to be a
gifted actress. Her role on Mara Clara paved the idea of her being a top drama
actress and her series “Princess and I” flagged her teen queen status.
Her network is grooming her to be the next big thing; it is
not far from impossible since she emanates Filipina beauty along with
exceptional acting talent. Big projects are on the way and with right attitude
and career move, this lass will go places.
2. Daniel Padilla
“Nasa kanya na nga ang lahat” is what everybody said
after his successful Big Dome debut. His first major concert proved detractors
that he has the charm and talent to fill up the country’s biggest coliseum. It
did not take too long for Daniel to achieve the “hottest teen sensation”
status, he owes it to the Kapamilya hit series “Princess and I” and
multi-platinum albums from Star Records. Her team-up with Kathryn Bernardo is
the hottest right now and his song “Nasa’yo Na Ang Lahat” tops the airwaves.
The KAthNiel movie was a mild hit also, proving the buying powers of their
fans. His success is impressive despite the common feminism on Filipino fans but
what made him special is the fact that the boy can sing and that sets him apart
from all of his contemporaries.
Endorsements, TV series and a movie are all in the way;
ABS-CBN indeed has another multi-media gem to polish, it is up to Daniel on how
to maintain his newfound stardom.
1. Julia Montes
Like
Kathryn, Julia is on her way to superstardom but what sets her apart from Kath
is the network’s treatment in favour of Julia. Unlike Kathryn, Julia can tackle
more mature roles and seemingly, the network is grooming her to be the next
Claudine Barretto or Bea Alonzo, big dramatic actresses of their time.
Julia’s team up with Coco Martin was a huge
success and “Walang Hanggan” was definitely phenomenal. Her movie was a mild
hit but the network doesn’t seem to care. They have a lot in toll for this
young actress.
She
will be doing a TV drama series with Enrique Gil among other big stars and rumors
say that she is slated to play a major role that every female celebs on her
network is wishing for, well let’s see how will this lead into. Julia is
definitely the one to watch out for!
