Vincent, “Musical! The Show” Winner
I was not really watching “Musical! The Show” at the Austrian Channel ORF1. But one night I watched it when I saw it being advertised in ORF1 as I normally watch shows like CSI in this channel. On that particular night I still kept on transferring to other channels and once in a while zapped back to watch the “Musical!”. Then I heard one of the members of the jury who was commenting on Vincent’s performance said, “Salamat”. It caught my attention, of course, but I still didn’t watch the other shows afterwards. I didn’t even bother to search about Vincent at the Internet. Then I saw again that tonight, January 11, 2008, was the final show of “Musical! The Show”. So I watched it.
Vincent, Singing in the Rain, Musical! The Show, 6th Show, December 28, 2007
I didn’t know the surname of Vincent during the entire program. I just watched the show. Finally, the winner of Musical! The Show was announced. Vincent won. He was so ecstatic, and was shouting, and even screaming in excitement. He was also shouting “I love you” in German. Then he shouted twice, “Philippines, Philippines”. So, for me, it was a confirmation that he is indeed a Filipino.
After the show, I searched for “Vincent Musical ORF1″. I found digitalpinoy.org site and there it was, Vincent was on the front page. To be precise, Vincent Bueno. I also clicked the link to the site vincentbueno.com and found out that his website was just launched today.
Quoted from the About page of Vincent Bueno Online.

Hello cheH!
Well, Vincent has a talent! I hope he’ll succeed! He seems to be so proud that he’s a Filipino. I saw one of the interviews when he was asked why he shouted “Philippines”. Unfortunately, I can’t remember what his reply was.
Anyway, have a nice week too dear! Hugs!
sa youtube ko lang din to nakita. ang galing ano? pero parang wala ng balita ulit sa kanya? buhay na ulit si kengkay at umalis na kanina ang bisita
Hello Kengkay,
Wala na akong naririnig tungkol sa kanya. Well, di naman kasi ako palaging nagbabasa ng showbiz tsismis e.
Mukhang nag-enjoy yata ang bisita niyo dyan a. Wine tasting! Great!
Anyway, have a nice weekend!
