King RICHARD.. i know your eager for a taste of Filipino Alternative Rock music.. i humbly suggest the group IV (Four) of Spades.. try "Mundo" (earth). As always.. "salamat" (thank you)!

Queen Morissette Amon👑😍🇵🇭 and Darren Espanto will have Concert Today in Frankfurt, Germany May 11, 2024 hope everyone near come and support them💗👍 Actually MORISSETTE has a video having a duet with Allan Menken Infront of WILL SMITH in Japan hope you watch it too😍♥️👏

[@feirydeleon7464]

Everytime you listen to Charice you get goosebumps all over. She’s phenomenal!

[@vlogsfavorsphileco8788]

No, i don't! I had collected cd's of charice's performances particular when she sang with the Italian singers back then. But after she or he change his gender and name, i thrown my collections away. And its not about discrimination, but its just my mind could not understand what he did anymore.

[@ehmjei6014]

Darren and Morissette has a concert tonight May 11, 2024 in Frankfurt Germany.

[@lepunksmoothie]

Ben&Ben is an amazing indie-folk band! They have a wide discography of original music. Another band you might want to check out is IV OF SPADES (they are on hiatus since pandemic) - a bunch of kids when they started but all members are great musicians, instrumentalists, and songwriters. Their music is more funk-rock/disco: MUNDO, COME INSIDE OF MY HEART, TAKE THAT MAN, HEY BARBARA are some of their hits.

[@madmaddox1139]

Yes! Johnny and Richard, I totally recommend Zild's, Ben and Ben's and Jk Labajo's collab LUNOD. That one is chef's kiss..

[@lai6068]

Filipino fridays is always a fun to watch. Seeing you guys giving realistic comments is already plenty and you guys enjoying what you are doing is the mosf important thing.

[@HOE-rv6ie]

Darren owned the 1st ever viral video on the Wish bus..."Chandelier". Also, his "Thinking out loud" cover shows many onlookers and the bus moves at the end. "The Chandelier" duet was impromptu. Morissette has a Disney original... "Imagine more" which is the theme for Disney+ channel. 🏆🤩

[@amyherradura378]

IV of Spades achieved for their original song Mundo on Wish Bus, the first OPM video to have achieved the milestone of over 100M views on YT in only 9 months.

I would give range to Morisette and Katrina. But u can’t deny the superiority of Charice’s Stage Presence, the way she performed on stage she always command and SANG on stage and she was a Star!

[@melanietacud1376]

Actually CHARICE Pempengco has sang I Am Telling You in David Foster and Friends Concert in Las Vegas👑😍🇵🇭 ALL BY MYSELF cover of CHARICE is the Best ever... In Star King she's 14, in OPRAH Show she's 15 singing I HAVE NOTHING she was dubbed by Oprah as The Most Talented Kids in the World👑😍🇵🇭 I just missed CHARICE she could be one of the Best in Hollywood today if she's not change her looks, sad

[@braddR]

🎶 New sub here! I'm absolutely hooked on your genuine reactions. When it comes to the timeless tunes of the 70s - the golden era of Manila Sounds! Just like Johnny, I've got a deep love for those soulful melodies that have shaped Filipino music history. I've got a suggestion for Filipino Fridays: how about featuring at least one singer or group from the 70s or early 80s in each episode? (Rico J. Puno, VST & Co., Boyfriends etc) These legendary artists were the trailblazers, the trendsetters whose music still resonates today and continues to influence the incredible talent we see in the Filipino music scene. Let's keep the spirit of Manila Sounds alive and thriving! Can't wait to see more awesome content from you guys. Keep those reactions coming! 🇵🇭🎤✨

[@brankitties]

That was so much fun. Thank you Richard and Johnny 💗💗💗

[@breyrey7612]

Another underrated is that Mori was also very young (18?) for that Chandelier performance. She was in command of the whole stage and they practiced it one time backstage.

Charice’s performance of All By Myself will forever be a top 5 for me. Only 17 years old then - insane! I love your Filipino Fridays. Thanks guys!

[@wenggeronimo5242]

Leaves always melts me . I don't know why but it makes me nostalgic, sad but hopeful . ❤

[@plumpuff4103]

Charice changed the lyrics to "You're the best MOM, I've ever known" instead of "You're the best man..." to better relate to the song. Charice and his younger brother were raised solely by their mother and Charice wanted to make sure mom knew she was loved. They grew up very poor, even being homeless at times, but his mom supported Charice in singing, and charice wanted to join singing contests (even if the prize money was small) to help support his mother. I think in an interview Charice said he loved pizza, but they couldn't afford it. If they won money from a singing contest that was the only time they could afford pizza. While I do miss Charice, I am happy to know that they found the strength to publicly become Jake and I hope they're happy after having such a hard childhood.

[@julitapineda2046]

Yes, the audience just requested Morisette to go up the stage and sing with Darren, of you noticed, Morisette is not wearing a formal wear, It's unplanned, But the two are friends. God bless

[@HOE-rv6ie]

Charice was the 1st Filipino artist that i collected videos. Unfortunately, during her time, very few HD quality are available unlike during the era of Morissette.

[@hitomiochiai8787]

Welcome back! I literally got back last night and jet lag is still a thing, so woke up late to catch your stream. It was great meeting you guys. They must have magic water in the Philippines.

[@rollynacpil8670]

If you want to see Mori singing in another genre watch her Rock medley at the Mitsubishi auto show composed of 3 iconic songs.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

I did see Morissette Amon and Darren Espanto sing at the New Year's 2022-2023 weekend in The Philippines 🇵🇭. The producers liked what they heard from solo versions of Chandelier from Morissette Amon and Darren Espanto. This was impromptu! 🤯🤯 He was 14 and Morissette Amon was 19. She and Klarisse de Guzman auditioned for The Voice Philippines 🇵🇭 in 2013. Darren Espanto and Lyca Gaironod, winner 🏆, in 2014. Zephanie Dimaranan in 2015. She lost 😖 but won 🏆 Idol Philippines 🇵🇭 in 2019. Chloe Redondo auditioned for The Teens version in 2018. Pia Banga in 2019. All were coached by Sarah Geronimo. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Darren Espanto and Callum Scott sing Heaven 2 Darren Espanto, Zsa Zsa Padilla and Jim Brickman perform Love of My Life. 3 Morissette Amon and Zephanie Dimaranan sing Bang Bang 4 Chloe Redondo and Daryl Ong sing Almost Is Never Enough 5 Pia Banga sings Loving You.

[@MILLIESCHANNEL-qs4fo]

Excited for Wednesday!!! Mori 😍

[@frankennyg1]

For Jona, you can get 2 for 1 or even 3 for 1 by reacting to her duet with Klarisse DeGuzman (Tell Him by Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand), or Jona/Klarisse with Morrisette in their medley of Let It Be (Beatles), Someone You Loved (Lewis Capaldi) and Memories (Maroon 5). Both videos are out of this world and you'll be blown away! Also check out Jessica Sanchez with her "And I'm Telling You" duet with Jennifer Holiday from the Anmerican Idol Finale (life changing! LOL), and also her duet with Morisette singing Stone Cold. All four of these performances are beyond amazing!!!

[@thezissers]

Agree! They’re so underrated but they’re one of the Pinoy singers! 🥳

[@patroclus8891]

Please react to Charice’s Note to God on Oprah Winfrey Show and In this Song , The body guard Medley and you will definitely blown away.

Uhm not them please, individually they're okay but when they sing together you could obviously hear them singing flat and some of their voice blending don't work. They should get tips from those who work with TNT boys for amazing voice blending.

[@markmarkysandoval1377]

These have most probably been requested already, but MY suggestions include 1. Morisette duet with Daryl Ong "You Are the Reason", 2. iv of Spades "Mundo" or 'Take That Man" or featuring Moira in "Same Ground", lastly 3. Arthur Nery and Janine Tenoso in "Pelikula" which means FILM. Love your show. More power....

The Phantom of the Opera by Darren Espanto would be great for you to see his voice range. He sang it in a concert with Lani Misalucha and Jona Viray, two great singers....(you may try doing an rv on them, too, and you'll be amazed with their vocal range). Thank you for this rv.

[@aleanahsacar4214]

Before Mori and the rest, there was Charice. Her rise in the international stage was through her efforts alone and her mother. She went viral (even before the word viral was invented) with her performance on Star King (the audience who was hollering were members of Super Junior). Then she caught Ellen's attention and more importantly Oprah's attention who paved the way for her, introducing her to David Foster, fulfilling her dream of singing with Celine Dion, getting casted on Glee, penetrating the American music industry with her song Pyramid.

That was another great live event with you. I really enjoyed every single second - as always! It's so much fun to discover extraordinary singers with you. I envy you a little if you find harmony changes unexpected. If you make contemporary classical music, as I do, that somehow falls away for the most part... 😅 But thanks to you, I'm finding my way back to the amazement of such harmony changes. Thank you very much for the fun with you! 🙏 With love and a big hug ❤💞🤗

Hi Richard and Johnny. For RHEO Brother's first song next week, i suggest the Ballad of John and Yoko. And for their second song, here arr my recommended choices; 1.

Darren's voice didn't change still belting up to the ceiling

[@jingleslay6370]

Katrina Velarde has a version of “all by myself” as well. You’d be amazed cos she almost forgot to breathe in that song. And while you're at it pls react to her, “I Surrender” by Celine Dion from her one-take cover session. And “I wanna know what love is” if you are interested to hear her whistle register. And her Beyonce Medley is so good, you won't regret reacting to it! Thank you so much in advance!

[@ApriledeLeon]

I truly appreciate your respect for Jake/Charice’s transition. Most fans still use his former name and pronouns - I’m sure without meaning disrespect. Just that Jake would appreciate being acknowledged as who he is now.
