GRADING THE CHARTS

Grading the Top 10 Songs in ... THE PHILIPPINES

By Molly Lambert at

1. Krizza Neri, "Ba't Di Ko Ba Nasabi"

Krizza Neri is the champion of a reality singing contest called Protege: The Battle for the Big Break. Prior to that, she placed second in a show called Mindanao Pop Idol, where she earned the nickname "RnB Princess." "Ba't Di Ko Ba Nasabi" is the theme song to a GMA Network show called The Good Daughter. If you love big sweeping early-'90s diva ballads that show up on easy-listening stations and ambiently soundtrack late-night drugstore hangs, you will also be a sucker for this, especially the bridge. Stay tuned for the incredibly creepy blurred-mouths effect in the video as the song winds down.

Grade: B+

Best YouTube Comment: "this song dedicated to my only one crush mr. tall dark & handsome…..JERIC IB-IB" — mildredtolomia
