Music video postcards are customizable and users may write special messages and send their best performances to their family and friends for their loved ones to enjoy.

The “RISINGSTARS” tab in the entertainment section leads to the online karaoke community portal. Akin to a music library and a virtual recording studio, RisingStars is a music hub where you can pick a song, practice, playback, record, edit, render sound effects, and pitch correct your performance, all done online without any need for software download and installation.

RisingStars CEO Andrew Gonczi said, “We are delighted to launch this partnership, which places the best online karaoke experience anywhere just one click away to INQUIRER.net readers, while our own users will have instant access to national and global news, articles, and all other INQUIRER.net content.”

Since the launch of the Philippine website in 2012, RisingStars has also exerted effort in making its presence felt on-ground. Currently, RisingStars is touring around the country’s key cities, hosting singing competitions made possible by its portable recording studio booth. This outreach activity aims to encourage, inspire, and fulfill the dreams of aspiring Filipino singers to showcase their talents before a live audience. Recently, RisingStars discovered a new breed of talented singers in renowned festivities like the Sinulog Festival in Cebu and the Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo.

And what’s more to RisingStars is that, it also has a regular roster of competitions where one can win special prizes such as mobile phones, cellphone load, premium items, gift certificates, and cash prizes. In fact, as a welcome salvo for its partnership with INQUIRER.net, RisingStars will soon be launching a new contest that will give users a chance to win tickets to the highly anticipated concert of teen heartthrob Daniel Padilla, happening on April 30, 2014 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. This and more exciting activities and competitions are what’s in store for RisingStars’ talented, both old and new, community members.
