KZ Tandingan - Anak (To Children) | Episode 12 | Singer 2018 | REACTION

[@musicgamenews]

We had to edit some parts out because KZbin blocked the full version. We really tried not to remove too much. DAMN YOU KZbin!!!!! (Kidding! We still got some love for KZbin :p)

[@bokempleo8903]

This song has the most number of translations to other language because of its message in phils history. It talks about the time when you were born until you had your own life and made mistakes and finally admits that you made a mistake in the end. I hope u look for the english version... i think it has a version too.

[@johnpatricksajor6068]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5q7o4SKrrB7d6s please kindly react this one.. its been too long that ive been requested this

[@reymarkable16]

Hi MGN, this is the same song that a guy sang with doll from Pilipinas Got Talent.

[@theblankcanvas9148]

Music Game News here's the english version of the song "Anak" m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4mciotpjb9riZI

[@artesiningart4961]

Anak = Child (in Filipino language, Malay language, and Indonesian language) To Child = Para sa Anak (in Filipino language) :)

[@johnbenneth8458]

I think the reason she didn’t add too much variations to the song is because of the fact that as much as she want to orchestrate a better version, she had so much respect for this “Kundiman” type of Filipino song. The original song was sang by a well known all time Fil. artist Freddie Aguilar decades back and “Anak” has already been translated to 27 different languages including Mandarin etc. Majority of Chinese people already knew the song back then. And i think KZ felt the need to stick to the “Filipino way” of singing it with the thought in mind that this is no longer fighting her way back to the Singer competition but to showcase the Original Phil. Music, show it to the world by singing in Tagalog, and at the same time manifest the current good relationship of China with the Philippines by adding few Mandarin version of the song. And as a Filipino, watching this performance, generally, a lot of us could say she nailed it really well without distorting the very soul of the composition. She gave respect and justice to the song & proudly sang it to Singer and to the world. 😊 Oh, btw she’ll have her last appearance on the show at the grand finale as a guest singer. Hope you react to that soon. God bless you both! 🤙🏻

[@andreaallen6095]

John B ☺☺

[@junriesalva8836]

true. i love kz❤❤ so proud of her..

[@marcky1920]

Hi John B. Freddie Aguilar Has his own style of music if I'm not mistaken Folk music and Rock.

[@carlobautista498]

She did respect the original arrangement. I guess whether she goes through or not she already brought pride to our country.

[@johnmariejimenez386]

John B Well said . . . Well said.

[@johndexodtohan99]

At this very moment, KZ just actually would like to present the Filipino music as best as she can. She didn't focus much on how she could make it really grand, explosive and such. She just put all her feelings and love of music on this Filipino sing which is very emotional and meaningful. So much feels in the song! We are all proud of KZ, she's the real talent!! 👏👏

[@catherineabellanosa2118]

The song may not have gained her a place back in the competition, but as a Filipino I am so happy she sang this song. Every time I hear this song, involuntary tears would immediately spring from my eyes. It's such an emotional song that would touch anybody with parents if you listen closely (and understand, hehehe) to the lyrics. Her rendition made it more emotional as she really felt the song. I'm so proud as a fellow Filipino. 😭

[@jhayshawnn]

I think with her last performance, KZ doesn’t wanna win. She just wanna show the whole world what OPM really is. Pure vocal power, soulful heart. It’s very risky song choice, but definitely she owns the whole hearts of the entire filipinos. She’s very proud to be a pinoy, and because of that were very proud of her.

[@purdudan]

Anak is the most iconic song in the Philippines. It actually got very popular in the late 70s, early 80s and spread like wildfire throughout Asia. Here's the english translation: The day you were born to this world Your parents were full of joy And their arms are your light And your mother and father Worry and don't know what to do Watch over you even in your sleep And in the night, a sleepless night, your mother Is still awake to prepare your milk And in the morning you are in the lap Of your father, who is so joyful because of you Now you are all grown up You desire to be independent Even if your parents forbid, they can't stop you Isn't it you that changed a lot Disobeyed them, remained stubborn And you did not follow their advice You did not take the time To think about all the things they've done for you For you desire, only what is pleasurable You just ignored them And the days have passed And you took a wrong turn in life You are imprisoned in a horrible vice And you approach Your dear crying mother And she asks "Child, what happened to you?" And your eyes immediately shed tears Without you noticing You are regretful and realize That you were at fault

[@alonaroduta6514]

Jack Ridge go ahead, translate the song then!!!!

[@levilising9739]

[@crispyliciousvlog8902]

@@joeygonzo If you're feeling the song whether it's translated correctly or not you'll like it .... it's a song .... a universal language so you have to consider it ... tsk

[@dreamer9267]

We know this song is not enough for her to get into the competition again.. But to most of Filipinos, we are very proud and happy of this performance.. This is an iconic song in Philippines and every Filipino, by just hearing the intro, already felt the victory in our hearts. KZ made us so happy. We love her.

[@josedeguzman5667]

Had so much respect for her. I love the fact that she didn't change it the way how she changed other songs because she has so much respect to the song. I love you KZ! Your rendition so far is my favorite!

[@sofiacff]

Anak is a really old and popular song written by a filipino folk-singer. The song was translated in 27 languages. It has a really deep meaning. Great reaction guys!

[@mikoto0311]

Anak is a classic It's really hard to make a variety from it while respecting this classic Pinoy rock rock "Fun facts" it is the most translated (50+) Filipino song

[@rubieaying1631]

The first time i heard kz sang the song anak ...i had so much emotion i cried a lot becoz it is a heartfelt song...and the rendition is really nice ..kz you really a great singer ang still you are the winner in my heart..thank you for bringing opm music in china mixing mandarin language....

[@georgepr5976]

Hi guys...this show is extremely proud of their musicians. They introduce them one by one to the crowd at the beginning of each show. The pianist is the musical director. THe chorus line if of five people, the one that they show continuously is the lead singer in the chorus. And yes, the singers and the band work together in the arrangements.The singer has to develop the main arrangement and work with the band to accomplish hir or her vision of teh song.

[@greatmusicdilettante6405]

Thanks. Interesting info. Is the lead singer famous as well? I've seen her on a couple of non-Singer shows too. She's really good (and pretty :D ). I've seen the pianist elsewhere before previously too.

[@purdudan]

The guitarist is KZ's music partner in the show. They usually just talk and give suggestions but he and KZ became very good friends so she asked him to play the guitar for her. He's a famous celebrity in China with 11 million followers in his Weibo.

[@SasukeUchiha-cw9oz]

The song is a filipino classic, and it’s one of the songs that will not hesitate to make you cry once delivered. Hope you’ve got the meaning because KZ accentuated some parts to make it more emotional.

[@pedrolim7838]

If international voting will allow. She is the real winner.

[@tomyrana5292]

Oh my! This performance is so beautiful. I love you, KZ. Im so proud of you! I really love "Anak" because that is what we call ART! Kz, you did great! MGN, your echos are so interactive. Congrats!

[@sibyl1210]

What I would suggest is to listen to the original song sang by Freddie Aguilar then give us your honest reaction. Also the meaning of this song is actually very sad. I think it was already translated to English here in your post. Her version is way different from the original. You'll feel the real emotions she put in this song. Pls.

[@marificeno6320]

Hi, It should be Child, singular form. If it's "mga anak then it means children, plural form. It's the story of a willful child who wants her/his own way in this world and made wrong decisions in life along the way and full of regrets in the end. And parents, hurt and confused but always understanding and loving towatds their child unconditionally. Literally, it is the story of the Prodigal Son. The composer they say of this song, Freddie Aguilar, wrote this while in prison. His dad wants him to continue his education but then he wanted to pursue his music. Got involved with the wrong crowd and made bad decisions. Eventually he became one of the greatest musicians in the Philippines. This song alone was translated into 64 languages at that time.

[@rodelioramonjr]

'Pag CHILD kasi, ang tagalog no'n BATA. Eh ANAK ang tintukoy, so tama lang na children.

[@carpenuctum]

youre too literal. the song talks to the child. you. me. everyone as our parents' child. that is why it is more logical to have been translated as "to the children". it talks abt us, our parents' children, being to arrogant to feel like we know how the world works and be emancipated.

[@marificeno6320]

It is what it is. Do you think ka Fredie wrote this song citing him and his siblings' experience? I think not. It was all based on his own experience.

[@mimianastasia2699]

Anu nmn Tagalog ng kid?😁😊

[@Hobihobi-mc9kc]

Joem Lozada Bata is Kid.. not child.. anak is Child

[@ALex-kg2dl]

This is a classic Filipino Kundiman, I think this is the only way she should sing this song and I think it is beautiful the way it is. I suggest you guys should listen to the original rendition of this song, so you would have a total understanding why she sang this way. Also check the meaning of the song, so you would understand why auto tune is a no no for this song particularly. 😊 Best of luck for both of you guys.

[@jovananayo6421]

agree. please understand the song first so that your reaction will be more meaningful and with more depth.

[@davemondez6130]

Everytime we filipinos hearing this song makes us so emotional. Because this song is the themesong of one of the most popular drama movie"ANAK" means children. A story of a mother and child. A mother had no choice but to go to work seperated away to her children for long time because of poverty. And a child who grew up with full of luxuries but they dont appreciated what their mother`s sacrificed and hardship for them. I hope you watch it.

[@jaypeesalazar5314]

you guys are my favorite... very technical and honest.

[@realdonmoreno987]

The girl that they frequently show during the performances is one of the singers and is also the host of the live shows. Her name is Angela. She's also going to the finals along with 6 other finalists.

[@alliswellnow62622]

Yes guyss we filipinos all cried watching her sing it ..we all agree that this is the best cover of this song ever ..she sang it emotionally which is par with the meaning of the song ..i am very proud being a filipino watching this

[@rowerudis4922]

It's an iconic original tagalog songs released in 1978 and was translated in 27 different languages... it solds 30 million copies... KZ sang it both in Tagalog and Mandarin languages with KZ twists of course...

[@roommate8301]

This song was originally translated to many different languages. And was really popular iconic song!!!

[@kizzyr.1073]

Damn this song gets me everytime 😭

[@trs4fears]

English translation of Anak is “Child.” It’s an original tagalog song in the 70’s or 80’s and it became so popular in other countries. There are quite a few of this song translated to different languages like Mandarin. So the Chinese people know this song. There are even Chinese singers who sang this song if you search KZbin.

[@rowenadangoy5176]

trs4fears yah the original artist Freddie Aguilar has english version of the said song called "CHILD".

[@docdanken]

Hahaha! I was literally laughing out loud when M-angel was singing "Mali!". Mali actually means "wrong" in English.

[@rhichbelmonte7594]

that was a legendary song here in the philippines... Theres so much emotions in these song. Many people will be related in this... It says that the values of being a person. That your parent is always there for you through good and bad times even if you were taken the wrong path...

[@irichpangilinan5483]

yes finally...thanks for reacting...

[@李亚基]

Finally ive waited for this...KZ sung it perfectly & i was captivated by her beautiful & soulful voice ..too much emotions she gave..i love it😘😍

[@larrylachica4598]

Anak or Child is a famous Filipino sung by Freddie Aguilar and it was so famous that it was translated into many many versions like German, Korean, Japanese. English and other languages...

[@iamambetzkie03]

Cause this is a very emotional song. This is a song made as an apology of a child to his/her parent. It's a classic Filipino folk song by Mr. Freddie Aguilar which popularized during the late 70s that was even translated in so many different languages across the globe.

[@chrsfrtz2009]

"ANAK" (CHILD) is a song by Freddie Aguilar translated into several languages including chinese and japanese... it is a song about bringing up a child.

[@bryxoiiLEE02]

She sang not to win, she performed and told the story of the song. And that alone is triumphant and victorious for us filipinos 🤍

[@aquariusmj9953]

Wow.. Most awaited reaction. Anak means child.

[@homesick1012]

Not a winning performance for a contest but definitely a performance that indeed gives justice to the meaning of the song. Very well done.

[@aarondimaano3481]

[@ttitozarate544]

KZ puts the character of a mother to her child on the song.

[@alexxander7685]

Among the reactions, this team is what I'm waiting for

[@jethmangubat_325]

Love this, thank you for the love you’ve shown your way to KZ! 😍 Just a background of the song, “ANAK” is one the most popular (if not the most popular Original Pilipino Music (OPM) songs of all time in the history of Philippine music by Freddie Aguilar. It’s so popular that it was translated, sung, and recorded in about 26 languages in the 70’s! “ANAK” literally means “child” or “son/daughter” is a song of remorse and apology from the child to parents. It is a powerful and an emotional song particularly about Filipino family values. KZ’s emphasis on the lyrics “Nagsisisi sa isip mo ng nalaman mong ika’y nagkamali” Literally means “How remorseful the child is when he thinks back of the wrongs and the pains he brought to his parents”. NAGSISI - means feeling remorseful MALI - means wrong NAGKAMALI - committed a mistake or wronged someone It’s actually quite a very simple song (in terms of music progression) but the meaning behind each line drives it straight to the heart. KZ tries to break the song (a little) and tried to make it more current when the song modulated (rock part). I appreciated that she didn’t fully break the song and kept its simplicity because that was really the intent of the song. What is amazing and where she really continues to prove her musical artistry is when she owned it and nailed the important message of the entire song. The simple line and her repeated lyrics of “NAGSISI - IKA’Y MALING MALING MALING MALING MALI” which means “feeling remorseful or regretful for being so very very very very wrong”.. makes you just want to weep. Kz is just incredible. ♥️

[@jehoshuadelosreyes611]

It gave me goosebumps when KZ gave emphasis and repeated the word "MALI" which basically means wrong in Filipino. It made me feel more the repentance of the "ANAK" (child) from taking his/her parents for granted despite all their hardships.

[@gemmasingian7410]

Oww, I wish you had seen the whole episode, because it was beautiful..as always I love your reactions, she’s so talented and love her versions of one of the classic Filipino song..love u guys😘

[@marcjaygagarinlakay1737]

The guy really felt it. He's very right.

[@venusfrias5188]

📍in the late 70's to the 80's the song was a phenomenal hit worldwide, was translated in different languages, was also translated in Chinese back then, its a Pinoy Folk-rock CLASSIC entitled ANAK (my child), i think she did not change the song that much out of respect to the original singer the legendary singer-song writer Freddie Aguilar, it is a song of the great love of parents to their child from the time he was born, grew up, but followed the wrong path and later in life was full of regrets because he knew in his heart he was wrong, whatever it is, KZ might not mean that much to the world but she is true to her roots and because of that we Filipinos are proud of her❤our Philippine Ambassador to China was in the audience❤Chinese singers still sing ANAK up to this day.

[@ainsley2115]

I love how she really represent this classic filipino song and did not just focus on changing the song to impress 👌👌

[@aniasyakovgallardo3974]

Anak is an original pilipino music (OPM) - one of the most loved. Thus, She can’t change that much-or she’ll get a whipping 🤣🤣 This song was translated to so many languages so u can look for the english version “Child” - by Freddie Aguilar.

[@emmanuellakern9863]

You two are funny in reacting,the song was edited, it's a happy and sad song, parents raising their child the best they could and the child went bad and in the end she regretted it...so that's it, KZ is KZ and Regine is Regine.

[@mae_greenday2950]

This is one of those songs that translations just cannot give justice to. It may not be written in deep tagalog but this song connotes very very heavy. Her delivery makes it even more moving and powerful. As a native speaker, this just left me in pieces. Although many had pointed out the gist of this song, I trust that you at least felt the deep meaning of this timeless song.

[@rodolfodizon6485]

The title "Anak" means "(My) Child" This song was written and originally sung by Freddie Aguilar who is also a Filipino singer. What is notable on the song is it was translated to more than 10 languages. Mandarin, Chinese, English, and others. "Ng isilang ka sa mundong ito" - When you were born in this world "Laking tuwa ng magulang mo" -So much happiness that you're parents felt At ang kamay nila ang iyong ilaw" - And there hands became your light "At ang nanay at tatay mo'y di malaman ang gagawin" - And your mother and father don't what to do "Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo" - They're are even watching you when you are sleeping "At sa gabi napupuyat ang iyong nanay sa pagtimpla ng gata mo" - When in night your mother can't fall on sleep to fed you some milk "At sa umaga nama'y kalong ka ng iyong amang tuwang tuwa sayo" And at day you are with your dad so happy carrying you. -you can Google some translation of this song! More power to you guys! I'm an avid fan of both of you!

[@tsokoolet]

The song is about a kid growing up realizing his mistakes because he didn't listen to and appreciate his parents. True. It is more of a "kundiman" song, that's what we call it here in PH - the original version is. Technically it is a song that kind of focus on the storytelling part rather than giving it different range or tone etc. Hahaha.

[@kikimo5558]

the meaning of the song is basically the story of child rebeling from either of his/her parents and doing something so wrong then the realizing that everything she did bad to her and her parents and regretting each and everyone of it. (theres also a movie adaption to this song)

[@wynncruz1467]

Anak means my daughter or my son was a song written by a folk Singer Freddie Aguilar.It was first performed in the inaugural in the Metropop Song festival in 1977 and became an international hit.It was the most successful Filipino song of all time.It was translated in 26 different languages...

Kz you did well.. It wasn't exaggerated.. Not necessarily add rnb's like m-angel adds suggestions because of it's already been so good. Maybe they don't appreciate kundiman but they like kz performance it's difference. But maybe they also not understand the translation mean't. The anak is already emotionally sang over years. Though kz made it epic for me as well as other agreed to it. KZ already made her part and I am already proud to her to represent our music. 👏Elegant clap kz.

[@dobentiapon8481]

this is the pinnacle of tagalog classic but you have to understand the lyrics black eyed peas apple had used it as a sample

[@gurlrockz31]

Lol M-Angel youre so funny. Btw, the song is about a child who did bad stuff, didn't follow parents advice parents and regret everything. The song was written in the 80s. Kz gave justice to the song but I agree that it's not enough to bring her on finals. It's just sad because i heard she's supposed to sing "Close to You" by the carpenters and surprised the audience with her Trumpet Mouth. But yeah, i guess they'll never hear it anymore. Hopefully she'll do it on WishBus.

[@ColdestAshes]

The correct translation for Anak in English (though there is no direct one word for it) is Son or Daughter. The song and how it was composed fits a narrative or story telling...

[@ellenpacifico3459]

[@dakot5911]

song is heartfelt song for the children who misunderstood how parents discipline their kids. Its a well known song all around the world. She respected the song and the composition thats why she didnt change the song and the arrangement differently. you can visit the original singer singing the song FREDDIE AGUILAR " ANAK"

[@seatin5332]

awww, you guys. Tengger is cute as a teddy bear haha. The arrangement could have been a little bit better but I really love how they put it overall. The guitarist is a singer as well and KZ's music partner of the show. Here is the English translation of KZ's Anak(Child) by Freddie Aguilar (1978) (Filipino) When you were born into this world Your parents were full of joy And their hands were your light And your mother and father Didn't know what to do They watched over you even in your sleep But you didn't even think about what they were doing for you Because you want to follow your pleasures You do not notice them (you just ignore them) (Chinese) Everybody has a dream of going far away Everybody makes mistakes You have to walk through this long path If you are cold, hold me tightly If you are tired, lean on me Let me wipe your eyes and take your pain away (Filipino) And your eyes suddenly tears up as You didn't even notice Your mind is regretting when you learn you were wrong Your mind is regretting when you learn you were wrong (Chinese) My hair turned grey as time went fast My youth has passed and voice hoarse Please don't be worried or scared When you are flying high I'll be leaving this world Hope you remember my love which will never fade away (Filipino) Your mind is regretting when you learn you were wrong OH! And your eyes suddenly tears up as You didn't even notice Your mind is regretting when you learn you're wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! Your mind is regretting when you learn you were wrong Oh oooo Your mind is regretting when you learn you were wrong

[@UltimateAthan]

Im really looking forward for uncut version. The cuts in video distract me.

[@d0wntr0dden]

"Anak" (roughly translated as "son/daughter") is a classic Tagalog song written by Filipino music icon, folk-singer Freddie Aguilar. The lyrics is about family values and has the theme of the "prodigal son". It was a finalist in the Metropop Song Festival held in Manila. It became an international hit in the 70's and 80's, and was translated into 20+ languages.

[@christiansamontr8348]

I think the movie " Anak" won the best movie of the year at that time.

[@kitchmariano5807]

It's also the song the guy sing on the Pilipinas Got Talent you reacted where there is a doll on stage. It's actually an emotional Filipino song about child and translated already in different languages.

[@gilromerosaviinti9001]

Kz did the closest to the original message of the song. She make it as a tribute to ka fredy and to the kundiman approach of the song.
