Untamed Beauties is one of the new programs airing on TV5. It's a telenovela from TV Azteca orignally called Bellezas Indomables. We watched it in Spanish in the US, and it was okay, but I swear, hearing it dubbed in Tagalog on TV5 as "Untamed Beauties" was amazing. The dubbers in the Philippines really know what they're doing and did a great job on it, so much so that they actually improved the program I'd estimate 300 percent, hehe. So bravo Philippine dubbers for doing a fantastic job as usual! It airs 2pm.
Claudia Alvarez and singer Yahir (who sings the theme song) star in this telenovela about a rich girl who falls in love with her driver. In real life, that sounds yucky, but it works for a telenovela since not many drivers look like Yahir.
Yahir - La Locura (The Craziness) Music VideoListen to this song, it's such a great song, it's one of my favorites of all time, Yahir has an amazing voice, and this song is just unbelievable. It's a good song to make out to.
Interestingly enough, not many polubes look like Thalia either, but it works in telenovela land, hehe.
TV5 is aiming for a younger audience, and with this telenovela and Rebelde, I think they're headed for a home run.
I also think it's an extremely smart marketing move that they chose Rebelde, since RBD is one of the hottest bands in the world right now, if it sparks in the Philippines, that's a big opportunity for revenue like what happened with F4 and Meteor Garden. That's exactly what I was thinking of before.
Many people are mistaken in assuming that GMA has their own set of dubbers, and ABS-CBN has their own set of dubbers, etc. because in reality, the programs are outsourced to the same company that handles all the dubbing on all the foreign programs that air in the Philippines, whether anime, Spanish telenovelas, asianovelas, etc. The Philippine TV networks purchase the program, but the talents that dub the programs into Tagalog are under a separate company.
