Aside from Lea Salonga, Regine Velasquez is the first solo artists who've crossed boundaries and has achieved massive success outside her home country. (In love with you with Jacky Cheung) She's also the best selling filipino artists of all time and inspired a generation of singers to build their careers through singing contests. Regine alone have won 200+ singing contests before debuting and she even won the 1986 asia pacific singing contest, it is like the eurovision of asia.

Fabulous musical! Saw it on opening night.

Karaoke was invented by a Filipino Mr.Del Rosario , its called minus one and popularized by Japanese.

because karaoke is all they can afford.

Wasn’t just the first Asian sex symbol, but the first Hollywood sex symbol

Can someone answer me? I have a question.. Why does he keep saying our indigenous music came from the east or has eastern influence? Didn't the filipino indigenous people just made their own music? I mean right from the beggining? The indigenous people were already living in the Philippines right before any foreigner discovered us, right?

Really sorry I missed this

Even in fiesta in different Province in Visaya Samar see dance and singing contest

❤❤❤❤❤

Bella poarch also a Filipino

The Asian guy host is kinda irritating.

The Cheat was not his second movie. Still, really enjoyed this video!

This was such a joy to watch!! I hope y'alls release an album because I would love to add this musical to my library ❤

I'm just curious...as good as Filipinos sing, why do Filipino Nationals listen to and adore the most boring, soulless music? Even the American songs they prefer are BORING as hell...and my Filipino Boyfriend knows I feel this way.

You forgot Enrique Iglesias

We all miss Charice too right

the filipinos spent 300 years in the convent, 50 years hollywood and 4 years of anime.

Even in death we live music...try to go on a "LIBING"

Its simple Korea is successful and well known around the world of there K-pop Because of one important thing they have it's called Originality🤗 In K-pop Original music compositions, they have a teams and company's such as jyp yg and many more that has already established A Global branding. They master the art and practice it and perfectly excecute and when the time has come they released it world wide so they're target audience around the world will have profit and will continue the cycle In the Philippines they just don't have this well known organisation and structure's That will help musicians So in short they just doing rendition and covers Very important in the music industry is Originality and style those are the things will attract audience

But Morissette Amon is the best of them all ! :)

Ugh "My way" reference! Iconique

Singing is part of the Philippines culture because our ancestors used their voices and instruments in praising different gods and goddesses of the old times. Music is heavily part of their daily lives, from passing on knowledge, marriages, tribal affairs and wars, different songs are used. When we were colonized by spain women would sing their attack plans on river banks to pass on the messages to different women and warn males of upcoming spaniards who would attack, they would wash clothes and pass on messages by singing about them so they wouldn’t be detected, the same thing they did during the japanese occupation of our lands. They used music to cope with lost lives, to celebrate new life, to praise gods, to show compassion, attraction, empathy, sympathy. Music wasn’t brought to us by our colonizers, they stole most of our history and traditions. It’s not something we celebrate.

The filipinos used singing in all walks of life, like serenading or harana, in the barrios theres always the singing contest, pasyon singing religious chants non stop for days, like the black community the mass starts and ends in singing, Parades processions, all have singing.. I think singing gave filipinos a sense of pride, since the Smokey mountains and Regine Velazquez won multiple awards internationally..

Philippine indigenous songs are not actually leaning into eastern side of asia but more like of a southern touch to it in my opinion.....

Why do Filipino-americans always has this false assumptions and narratives that the western styles only penetrated in the urban areas? Why are they keeping this false narrative everywhere? Western and hispanic style music penetrated not only in urban areas but more so in provincial rural areas. How do you think these provincea became christians and have spanish-style town plazas and baroque ancient churches?!?!? These arent only present in urban areas but provincial towns scattered all over the country

Woah didn't know Darren Criss was a Filipino her mom was born in Cebu City👍

Simple Answer: Because we love Karaoke. And everytime there is a party, there will be someone singing Karaoke. Yes, even in schools.

sana naging humble naman tayo dito. jusme 🙄

We love being loud. We sing even while washing dishes. So, if there's a way to sign loudly, you count bet we'll count ourselves in.

A small suggestion, if you present a whole nation please go all out on the research. Especially the native names. There is quite difference if you do this.

Wala man kaming karaoke eh. Mahal kaya non. Chz

i am starting to believe im not a filipino lol

Where's BELLA POARCH? <3
