PRODUCERS REACT - Katrina Velarde Go the Distance Reaction

[@HappyKat9]

That video was 6 yrs ago. Katrina's voice is even better now. Check her duet of I SURRENDER with Jessica Villarubin & ONE SWEET DAY with Budakhel (3 male singers u need to discover). Still waiting for more Gigi De Lana, her ANGEL BABY, BETTER DAYS, THROUGH THE FIRE, OFFICIALLY MISSING YOU, ALL I ASK..Thanks!

KATRINA Velarde is one of the most powerful voices among the singers in the Philippines..

[@alexfabre9666]

She's called Asia's Vocal Supreme. She can hold notes for seconds while belting, she's one of the Queens of riffs and runs and she can whistle while doing riffs and runs. She can also go deep with her voice. She can impersonate high calibre artists.You just have to keep on reacting to her to witness her abilities.

[@itsmeeeloveeeey122]

PLEASE REACT TO THIS LIMUEL AND FRIENDS KARAOKE SESSION ❤️❤️❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZiqg2SCrdqAbck ❤️👏🏻

[@rogerlack1008]

Katrina is way better than this now. Her vocals are actually insane. Her vocal agility and high register belt out of this world. She’s a real pro now you should see some of her newer stuff seriously.

[@judithtorres4409]

Yes, GKD. Her new stuff is incredible and deserves attention.

She's one of the vocal powerhouse in the Philippines..👍👍👍

[@judithtorres4409]

Katrina is self taught and self trained as virtually all our soloists are. Only classical and theater singers, choirs, and now the young pop groups assembled by labels and talent companies undergo training sessions. We train ourselves by listening to the greats, mimicking them, then experimenting, and singing every chance we get-at school, at home, in the bathroom, at the corner store and mall, at parties, in videoke and karaoke bars, beer gardens, in church, and for those with dreams of performing professionally, joining contest after contest after contest. Every neighborhood (barangay), municipality, town, city, and province holds singing contests. Then of course, the television talent shows. Singers like Mori and Katrina did the rounds of local and national contests. They become the breadwinners of the family as one or both parents devote their time to manage their children’s careers. Kat had much less than Mori to start with. We were all extremely happy for her when she began collaborating with and later married American drummer, percussionist and music producer Mike Shapiro, who would arrange and produce Kat’s recordings. (He recorded and toured with greats like Sergio Mendes, Natalie Cole and Al Jarreau.) She does the vocal arrangements of her backup vocals and her collabs with other singers (BuDaKhel). She sound engineers her vocals! Mike and Kat were great together! But Shapiro died in 2021 a few months after their wedding and Kat disappeared for awhile to grieve. We are so so happy for her that she has come back and been producing for herself. She deserves the best the world has to offer because she has worked so hard and lost much and now helps young artists by collaborating with them! Do please support her. She has amazing content and does not disappoint.

[@habibkareem5506]

One of the best singer the world have, not just in the Philippines. more of Katrina Velarde please.....

[@marilyngeneral6255]

Kat is known here in the Philippines, can hold a breath even in 30+ seconds straight while on singing or belting!

[@musezic7911]

30+ 🤯

[@breyrey7612]

That video is what solidified the Wish Bus as a global platform. Relatively speaking, Katrina was an unknown before this and both Wish and Katrina's popularity sky rocketed and the pinoy rabbit hole journey approximately started with reactors across the globe. There's a lot of performances in the wish bus that contributed to this and can't wait for your take on those . I have a feeling you may appreciate the pinoy R&B and hip-hop artists as well as we have taken those genres to a different level. :-) . As always, appreciate your videos.

[@vovovivi7353]

True

[@thelmapineda6322]

Thanks for featuring Katrina, she’s one of the versatile Filipino singers. Please watch her impersonations of Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, etc. with her 2 yr. old son (lol)!

[@yummevans2765]

That was her son?? I thought its her sister son. Lol

[@paulhenryk.flores7361]

Yes she did a cover of Burn

[@flixyble]

Her voice is even better now.

[@mandaze]

THAT IS LIVE. All wish bus performance in the philippines is LIVE.

[@marilyngeneral6255]

Katrina Velarde is a MASTER of her own Voice. She is precise pertaining to vocal technicalities and dynamics!

[@Architelle88]

Katrina, so effortless… she is so underrated.

[@cristinskadell338]

that's a pity and A SHAME. she deserves a massive following. but the phils' fan base / market is small. maybe sing spanish songs - there's more than 1 billion spanish speakers- latin/central America plus Spain.

[@aileneguardalupe6777]

Finally got an rv of Katrina 💙💙 try to react to the song one sweet day with budakel and she have a lot of solo songs too💙💙 thank you for rv to our Filipino singers. I’ll always watch to your live even though we are big time apart 💙💙

[@camalusman7635]

I second the motion🤗 and I also recommend her Whitney H 's medley.

[@zeneeburton]

Yes Please react to " "BUDAKEL"

[@tinasegalesmith2378]

They did an awesome cover of this song.

[@majoy0173]

UP UP UP UP UP. U two won't regret when u watch this avengers from Philippines. BUDAKHEL with Ms Katrina cover ONE SWEET DAY.💙 I'm A'tin and I love my boys SB19. But we appreciate if u can react this very talented artist

[@barbydal6217]

I love Katrina, she is one of the best..she can do whistle too...

[@dennisfrancisco9703]

If there's one person we can think of, who's brilliant as Mori, it is Katrina Velarde. Unbelievable talents. That video was 6yrs ago and you'll be more amazed in what she can do now. As superb as Mori

[@marilyngeneral6255]

She is a multi-talented Singer. She is so GREAT doing collaborations with other Great Artists, as well.

[@Zee_1003]

Katrina has amazing musicality and she really works well with a live band. she knows how to communicate with them and lead them, even when the band goes off, she knows how to work it out.

[@lydiasalaveria2491]

Thank you guys for reacting katrina velarde one of the best singer in the Philppines

[@poltes5]

So glad you finally reacted to Katrina Velarde ❤ She is one of my favorite power vocalists. She has a latest song, a cover of the song Araw Gabi. Also do try to see her collaborations with the group Budakhel (BUgoy Drilon, DAryl Ong, MiCHAEL Pangilinan) all excellent soloists in their own right. You will enjoy it as well. I loved their rendition with Katrina V of the song One Sweet Day. Katrina V used to be married to an American music producer too, unfortunately he died 6 months after they married. But Katina Velarde has long been in the music scene, going into many competitions so her voice has been honed well and continues to be fantastic.

[@Dheng3853]

Her late husband is Mike Shapiro

[@GingSing25]

She also did a Latin Medley and Whitney Houston Medley (Qritiko channel)

[@blueisback3683]

Now you have stumbled across the true queen. Her range of things she is capable of is elite. I hope you guys keep checking her out, she has so many great videos. And yes, I Surrender is a must, One Sweet Day was pretty incredible.

[@luzmoslares5691]

Every singer sings live in the Wish bus.Everything is live.💯💯✌️✌️👍👍This was done 5yrs ago

[@darylalbarracin3140]

Her “Reflection” cover was impressive too.

[@rbo350]

Kat is one of my favorite artists each new song she put out she got better

[@deeb.9250]

now you meet our prodigal genius... I don't know how she's almost always on key and in tune even when she does so much impromptu on her phone

[@richardfranz3180]

For other covers by Katrina, checkout "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", "Joy to the World", and my fav "Reflections". Much like Mori, her interpretations become the new standard.

[@judithtorres4409]

Love all these ones!

[@ChannelS.417]

yess Katrina is another stunning diva that you will appreciate and admire more as you listen to her performanced including impressions or impersonations of western divas, thank you, stay bubbly and hilarious but evocative

[@santosantito342]

Yeah ! Her voice makes us in a state of 😲 shock. More of Katrina pls

[@angelicaaraneta5696]

This was an old video. You can also check her new covers, she is too good 😍🥰 Love you two. I'm also an Army.💜

[@larrydelossantos5594]

For me morisette and katrina are the 2 best vocalists here in the Phil. and there are lots of them you have to react too. Thanks to both of you for apreciating our local talents

[@brydcsd]

Check her live performance in Expo City Dubai with the World Renowned Firdaus Orchestra. Also, her live performance of Come In out of the Rain in Los Angeles

[@kotse9129]

Wow! Nice reaction guys!!! More of Katrina Velarde pleeeeeease!!! 🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩

[@glitzaustero3428]

One Sweet Day by Katrina with the BuDaKhel (Bugoy, Darrel and Michael) is a legit powerful song cover performance too.

[@lirzt.4943]

You must definitely react to the collaboration of Katrina and Budakhel where they covered the song “One Sweet Day” and a lot more. You’re in for a wonderful treat especially if you love, love harmonies.

You may want to check out Katrina Velarde collaborating with other 3 talented men singers called BuDaKhel (Bugoy, Daryl & Michael)with their cover one sweet day and I'm your angel. Their vocals and the harmonies are insane. ☺️

[@konnichiwa7719]

Katrina Velarde masters of all breathing techniques...😊

[@vonvinz07]

A lot of singers here in the Philippines starts early as 7 yrs old and didn't even undergo voice lessons or voice trainings. It's purely in our culture that we love to sing and dance despite of challenges in life and that is our stress reliever.. To SING and DANCE.

[@marilyngeneral6255]

FINALLY! Thanks guys for featuring the "ASIA'S VOCAL SUPREME" of the Philippines 🥰

[@lowiemark]

4:33 This song is one of the staples in Filipino karaoke parties! Im sure she sang this hundreds of times already.

[@ilyrics2775]

This now is only in HIGH category, she has the HIGHEST version of that.

[@ChannelS.417]

Yes no live piano there, because that is soundtrack but she is still singing live, it is the Wish Bus and that is the highest cover of the Disney song originally by Michael Bolton

[@leonoelgaming3870]

She is the Asia's Vocal Supreme! Pls react to her Burn All Stars Impressions, and Mulan Reflection cover.

[@heidicardenal7554]

A must watch performance is One Sweet Day cover by her and Budakhel!

[@zhehanyguillergan5010]

One sweet day with Budakhel would definitely be a must to check out next. 💯🇵🇭🙂

[@mechocaacosta7743]

Thank you for reacting to her. More of Katrina please. Her Somewhere Over The Rainbow is insane as well as her One Take Cover Sessions in her own channel. Her impersonations are great and is fun to watch. There is also a video that was made for her which s called Katrina Velarde Lung Power/ Longest Note Ever Belted. Her collaborations with other artists are also great - BuDaKhel One Sweet Day & You're My Angel. Her duets are really nice - I Turn To You (Sam & Katrina), I Surrender (Kat & Jessica), I'll Never Love Again/Without You (Kat & Eumee).

[@tinabesenio8504]

It was live. Wish Bus always showcase live performances

[@felysantos603]

shes one greatest filipino singer..🤩🤩🤩

[@FishFinga17]

Top reaction to the beast which is Katrina Velarde. This is a very old performance. Even though her talent was undeniable then, the vocalist she has developed into is ten times more skillful than the starlet you just witnessed. Check out her "One take cover sessions". Katrina Velarde is a vocal gymnast of the highest order

[@-R.Gray-]

Another Wish Bus performance is one by her former mentor, Gary Valenciano, who does a cover of Chick Corea's "Spain". Gary has been a fixture in the Philippine entertainment scene for years, and was a judge on a singing competition that Katrina had entered as part of a group. After the contest, he gave her a job as a backup singer. Some other Katrina suggestions : "One Sweet Day" with her and a sometimes trio of male artists called BuDaKhel, "Reflection", One take cover sessions : "Mamma Knows Best", Katrina and Sam Mangubat - "I Turn To You", Katrina and Jessica Villarubin - "I Surrender", and the best of her musical impersonations "Impersonating Singers 3 (Burn)".

[@melbzaycardo5639]

So glad u feature a lot of talents from here ( Philippines) we appreciate it so much!! Thank you!! 🙏🙏🇵🇭💖

[@paulvincentnicha9796]

The first time I saw this performance my jaw dropped. 6 years had past since then, I'm still in awe and cannot believe she held that note longer than my past relationships.

[@lovelynmendoza1668]

Lol 😂

[@marilyngeneral6255]

Kat is good on RIFFS and RUNS, LONG BELTING w/o straining of the voice and even doing on LOW KEYS!

[@edgardoarcangel2009]

Men that's live all singers perform on the wish bus is totally live ..Katrina is the real queen ❤❤❤

[@smulemaster]

Producing vibratto with that powerful chest voice requires a lot of talent to pull through and that separates her from the other artists.. that's Katrina's signature...

[@elsaarevalo2172]

You may check all the Katrina velarde's one take cover there you will see her singing live

[@lazybear236]

Think about the fact that just four years ago, when she was already pretty well known due to this video and other performances, you could still hear her, several times a year at the Music Hall -- a small pub concert venue -- where they only charged you 4 bucks to hear her and you bought a beer or two. I was visiting the city in 2019 and listening to her live in two back to back one hour singing sessions one evening was a memorable experience. Especially since I was sitting no more than 15-20 feet from the stage. It was so obvious to me she was levels above many of the other fine singers I heard in those few weeks in the Philippines.

[@kiwipina4716]

Hi Josh & Lucas, thanks for reacting to Katrina Velarde... she's one of OPM greats in my opinion but very under rated. Please do check out more of her solo covers on her official KZbin and also her collaboration with BuDaKhel (Bugoy Drilon, Daryl Onga and Michael Pangilinan), they sang about a couple of songs like 'One Sweet Day' by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, and something else. Let us know what you think. Many thanks for your growing support for our local Philippine music artists.

[@kirara7154]

You will be amaze more about her when you heard her impersonation of local and international singers and the one sweet day cover.

[@anythingniceandfun2022]

Tnx for adding KATRINA VELARDE...SUPERB DIVA ... Just like MORI .. YOU will never be disappointed ❤️❤️❤️ Great Reactors

[@mherjtv4091]

Yess...more of katrina pls...must rwact to her cover of Mama knows best🥰

[@maylabonjoc7452]

More Katrina V please...❤😊 Im looking forward to watch all ur reaction. Again tq for giving time reacting our artist🤗🤗🤗

[@kian5293]

Just a glimpse of what Katrina can really do. Do check her videos where she showcases her vocal abilities.

[@leilanihuab6036]

Thanks for reacting to Katrina Velarde. Her timber is different from that of Morisette but as equally amazing. Just a trivia here. Morisette and Katrina both idolizes Ms. Regine Velasquez, our Asias Songbird, the diva of all the divas in the Philippines. One of her greatest performances is her live rendition on one of her musical influences, Barbara Streisand's "Papa, can you hear me". Btw, Ms. Regine had a live cover of " Go the Distance" as well. Hope you could react to her as well.

[@patricepalmaadventures7987]

It’s live. 😁 please react more Katrina Velarde. She’s my favorite female singer in the Philippines. ❤️

[@mariacoons9148]

Wish is always live

[@Shin-hc5vj]

The likes of Katrina and Mori are today's power vocals. Wait till you hear the OGs of the Philippines-I mean the likes of regine, gary and martin. Please continue exploring the Filipino talents.💕

[@sbts19]

One of my favorite performance from Katrina🔥❤️ thank u for this RV mga kuya😊

[@OPM_Viking]

She is on solo-tour in the US this year. Go watch her or regret it forever afterwards 😊

[@joyddeyto5345]

What a Disney original performance 👏👏👏

[@leontxtv]

That’s her own rendition of that song and it is already recorded, there’s also a rendition of Regine Velasquez and it is a live. You can see the differences between the two singers.

[@bienbalajadia8345]

Funny how her voice was so powerful in the end, the mic audio actually clipped. 😁

[@josephernest8064]

Welcome to Katrina's world. I hope you guys also do a marathon of Katrina's performances especially at the Music Hall Metrowalk.

[@sibyl1210]

Finally. Thank you for reacting to Katrina. Next her cover of Mama Knows Best by Jessie J on her One Take Cover Session.

[@Woody-2837]

She regularly sings these high notes much more comfortably. ARAW GABI shows her whole range. Don’t be scared for her 😂😂😂 you are just beginning Katrina Velarde!

[@Woody-2837]

Notice she sings sitting down.

[@julitapineda2046]

All performances at WISHBUS are live, that's on the spot recording live, Thanks and God bless

[@kevinbruno5677]

Great reaction - Katrina Velarde is a vocal beast and not only that, she is a superb songstress and technical master singer. She should be an international superstar, household name. FTR, I am a retired professional music critic with 45+ years experience. I saw Whitney, Celine, Mariah, etc., live, in their Apex elite prime and Katrina is a match for all of them.

[@tingangeles1454]

One of my earlier Wish Bus performance favorites! Glad you guys reacted on this!

[@aliciajoyce3675]

Katrina is Awesome you have to react to her more,often you won't regret it I promise...She got lots more, like Whitney Houston medley, Latin medley,Somewhere Over The Rainbow Aretha Franklen version,Reflections and more...

[@bettyjackson5944]

She has a beautiful " Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

[@Sascha_Germany]

I have 400 vids of her in my playlist. And i have never heard a single note she did not want to sing." Best singer i have ever heard . Whitney houston medley from feb 2018 in musichall " i would suggest. Greetings from germany

[@meh_ai]

Katrina became viral because she covers high note song with a comb as her mic. U should check those.

[@OPM_Viking]

Katrina is every composer/producer’s dream. Her ability to sing/express anything you throw at her sets her apart from other singers. Check out the thousands of videos for the versatility and ability to perform what you are most curious about.

[@panfilavelo]

More of Katrina ❤️❤️❤️

[@Zee_1003]

speqking of OH HOLY NIGHT, Katrina has a ONE TAKE cover of that and her latest version was a performance at an event where she included a whistle register at the end.

[@cahl512]

Ppop vocals in general is already very good but there is another level in the Philippines and Katrina's vocals belongs there.

[@fiorellageno3797]

She is great, you should also see her newer stuff, produced very well to her voice. The wish bus camera is facing the control room, as they used to years back. So much good talent on the bus. They will also have foreign artists I remember Dua Lipa. Also have seen a KZbinr fan invented by the artist singing to sit in that control room, of course pre-Covid days, don’t remember who they were though. Maybe you can get to see the wish bus while you’re there.

[@Loren.M]

Kat is one of the best singer here in Phil. She is my #1, try to react Kat I Surrender duet with Jessica Villarubin, the mv and the LIVE version in GMA's ALL OUT SUNDAY segment QUEENDOM. Singers in this show are just like Kat's power.

[@danilolandicho454]

Here's my take on your reaction to Katrina Velarde's cover..this is the highest key performed by any other singer ( of this song). Katrina started joining singing contests in her locality at age 6...she has developed her vocal technique and won many singing competitions before she broke in into the you tube...she is the highest paid singer/ performer in Manila & an exclusive artist of Viva Records & Entertainment....

[@marilyngeneral6255]

I do hope, MORE of her 🥰

[@alancanan]

You guys have to watch Katrina with BuDaKhel. They covered the song One Sweet Day by Mariah and Boyz II Men.
