You should react to his cover of SPAIN. im sure you are going to amazed with him. And he is one of the legend singer in the philippines .

[@wondersnwanders186]

The theater/musical/choir training happens in school or in the church, and I agree the movies before are very musicals. If you check on the background on Filipino singers, they're mostly from a working class family so paying for formal training is not a priority, hence, they're heavily influenced by what is readily available in the public. Aside from that we don't have that many music schools here.

Gary V is not just a nice cool dude. He is a music icon in the Philippines. He is huge in the entertainment industry and yet He remains a devout Christian, a loyal husband to his only one wife, a great father to his children, a good example to everyone how to be famous yet still remain humble and obedient to the Word of God. I never heard any scandal or whatsoever involving him in the past with another woman or something. Definitely he has so many women admirers considering his kind of talent and charisma, but still he remains loyal to his wife and children. What a man of God he is. Really one of a kind.

Filipinos aren't generally into theatre. And when I say theatre, it's the live, singing, broadway type of entertainment. However, songs here are really intertwined into any other form of entertainment. The biggest songs in the Philippines are mostly tied up with movie or tv series soundtracks to the point where their titles are the same (or probably taken from) with the soundtracks. I would say though, Filipinos in general love ballads. That's probably the reason why any other genres in the OPM spectrum, singing and melodies are important.

[@JohnMarkYo]

Because Filipinos loves soul music..So, music genres has soul or emotions on it..Even the rapping has emotion

Lea Salonga, Gary V. , Martin Nievera and other singers in their generations, they came from a rich family and they have proper voice training and they do perform musical theaters. In their generation, it is almost not possible to enter the music business or show business if you are not from a well off family or with the right connections. Then there comes Regine Velasquez who came from a poor family but she can belt and have different technique in singing without proper voice lessons, she is so talented that people don't care about her family background. She sets the new standard in singing here in PH, but now the younger generation of singers like KZ, Budakhel is setting a new trend to singers who can't belt that high, in older generations if you can't belt high then you will be singing Novelty songs.

[@ldluna]

One of my fave vocal tandems is him and Martin Nievera. They are both very expressive singers and well rounded entertainers (there's a KZ connection there too after Xfactor; they both mentored her. And Martin mentored Regine). MJ of the Phils or Mr Pure Energy: Gary's a triple threat). They broke into the industry in the 80s as singers and were also catapulted into acting in film and tv. I'm pretty sure I will be here is his original as he has always been a prolific gospel songwriter; he sings it frequently in his concerts. There's an awesome one on Gary's channel where he sings it with Martin in a concert, mashed with his other hit, Take me out of the Dark (As 1 Medley). Highly recommend, it's a great duet of two of the most distinct Filipino voices and a nice intro to the Concert King.

[@untaughtbiblelessons]

historically speaking, the Filipino music and movie industry can be traced back to vaudeville-inspired roots vaudeville is also the origins.of the hollywood broadway industry, i believe and this was brought to the Philippines during the American occupation at the same time, our more traditional music and entertainment came from our various ethnic tribes and ancestors so you can definitely see an amalgamation and fusion of the east and west in our music i recommend you check out Filipino movies in the 60s and 70s done by actors such as Dolphy, Gloria Romero, Susan Roces, etc. = broadway-like singing and dancing were always part of their movies.

Gary V actually one of the first to do gospel music in the Philippines mainstream. Also understand he been through a lot in life and had near death experience so he’s very close to god where he gets his emotions from when he perform. The most theatrical artist you’ll find in the Philippines is Lea Salonga. But a lot of Filipino artists are very versatile when it comes to different genres

[@kbm2340]

Theater isnt really accessible to an average Filipino. Like proper musicals arent affortable you know. But it is infused in most of our music/ songs. And disney songs are looooved here.

There's a legend ahead of their generations such Dulce; Freddie Aguilar; Marco Sison; Rico J Puno; Bing Rodrigo; Pilita Corales and a lot more before Gary Valenciano's generations. From 1950's to 70's. Gary Valenciano, Regine Velasquez, Lani Misalucha are from 1980's generations of Philippine singers.

Both songs are Christian/gospel songs. I Will Be Here was originally by Steven Curtis Chapman. The Warrior is a Child was originally by Twila Paris.. Gary Valenciano has many Christian, inspirational songs that can cuts through you.. Search it up 🙃 Nice reactions from you mates as always. Keep it up 💜🤟

*It's NOT uncommon that Filipino singers can perform well across different musical genres. It gives the artist an edge that expands their repertoires and not be limited to just one form.*
