3rd MyFABEMusic Awards: Movie/Musical/TV Song of 2012

Two of this year's nominees for Movie/Musical/TV Song of the Year come from the opera The Barber of Seville.  This was due to the fact that four different operas were staged in Manila in 2012.  Pretty impressive!! However, the versions that charted were those done by the legendary diva Maria Callas.

The two other nominees come from movies, the huge blockbuster hit Breaking Dawn 2 and 2011's The Muppets, which was only shown here this year.

The last nominee is from the Tony-winning Broadway play The Book of Mormon.

Here are the nominees for the Movie/Musical/TV Song of the Year -

Cast of the Barber of Seville - Largo Al Factotum (from the opera Barber of Seville)

Cast of the Barber of Seville - Vechiotto Cerca Moglie (from the opera Barber of Seville)

Cast of the Book of Mormon - Hello (from the Broadway play The Book of Mormon)

My Ten Favorite Songs of 2012: 10. Hello - Cast of The Book of Mormon @BookofMormonBWY #TheBookofMormon

This year, I was lucky enough to be able to watch the Tony Awards live telecast - and I was really glad I did!  I was blown away by the opening number done by the cast of The Book of Mormon.  Their song, 'Hello' is my #10 favorite song of 2012.

The Book of Mormon is definitely the first show I will watch if I do get the chance to visit New York in the future!

The Book of Mormon's "Hello" - Already a Showstopper

I first heard of The Book of Mormon because the album debuted at #3 in the US Top 10 album charts, a rare feat for a Broadway musical. It did help that it won nine Tony Awards the week before the album was released. Basing it from the first song alone, it's not hard to understand why it won so many awards. I can't wait to hear the whole thing and hopefully, watch the play!
