REFLECTIONS (Full Concert) - Regine Velasquez

Regine Velasquez...Reflections.
People who now see Songbird Regine Velasquez as stuck in Mariah Carey-mode will be reminded of how expansive her influences are in Reflections at Aliw Theater that runs until December.
Announced without funfare as Chona Velasquez (her real name), the show kicked off with Hannah Mitra and Kim Flores as Regine, the child and teen singing sensation, respectively, who was honed in several small time stints prior to discovery. "Enough Is Enough" and "Fame," with their strong statements on breaking away and making a name for oneself, set the tone for the show that affirms the dues the Songbird paid musically to get to where she is now.
Next was tribute medley to her earliest influences, Angela Boffil and Sheena Easton. Here, we get a taste of Regine minus R&B styling. Sung simply yet still with unwavering powerful voice, it proves that genre or technique are just aids she uses lately to challenge herself vocally and to keep up with trends. Even bereft of both, Regine has pipes that spellbinds.
Ditto with the Sharon Cuneta medley, all movies of whom Regine professes to have watched "because I m a big fan of Sharon and Gabby love team." No birit in sight, and far from sophisticated arrangement, people still gave hearty applause.
Regine then jumps to her recent original hit songs. Rendered with guest Jonalyn Viray, she gave a spattering of "Kailangan Ko y Ikaw," "You Made Me Stronger" and "Dadalhin." The thing with Regine is that her shows can never be spoiled or preempted just by knowledge of the repertoire. These songs were expected yet actually hearing her do these, creates the same excitement as if it s the first time.
The first real surprise in the repertoire is the Songbird s hats off to the last girl band era. In the Spice Girl medley, people see that she has a strong pulse on what mainstream is into and that she is not at all squeamish in embracing stuff most would deem unfit or, shall we say, subpar for her to do. With "Holler," "Wannabe," and "Who Do You Think You Are," she gets away with frivolity by imbuing these with the gusto of a teenager. And she raps "in Pepsi Herrera gown, no less!"
Sobering up, Regine moves on to Kuh Ledesma songs; again, another unexpected twist. Though she could ve done more of the pop songs of the latter, Regine opted for ones with cinematic feel, heavy Tagalog lyrics and complicated melodic lines that necessitated mature emotional attack.
The covert highlight of "Reflections" is Regine s take on Anita Baker s "Just Because;" a breezy ditty belied by difficult series of vocal acrobatics. Here, we finally understand why Regine sings the way she does now. "I ve always wanted to have a bigger voice," she confesses.
Thus, the predilection for R&B singing that s predisposed to earthy voices. Think Whitney Houston. And, yes, Mariah Carey.
Regine ends with showstoppers that climax one after the other. In her takes on Whitney and Mariah songs, she went straight to vocal highlights; giving one-two punches leading to the knock-out number, "Reflections." Originally done by Christina Aguilera for the movie "Mulan," Regine outdid herself by moving the key one notch higher in the end, thus, blowing the high notes right out into the universe. Standing ovation followed.
For encores, the Songbird did a medley of dance tunes by female singing icons from the 80 s as "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," "Lucky Star," "Gloria," among others. Had the crowd called out for more, we suspect that Regine would ve brought out a song by Barbra Streisand the only diva Regine did not acknowledge musically that night, yet one who has shaped her singing style immensely.
If "Reflections" aimed to channel the stages of maturity the Songbird has undergone via musical heroines, then Regine Velasquez definitely succeeds. Here, she opens the blue print of how to become a singing icon. As usual, copycats take note.

Ngayong napanood ko ulit 'to, narealize ko, wala pa talagang makakapantay sakanya. Yung body language nya, emotions, kapal ng boses, lahat na! Nag-iisa ka lang talaga Regine Velasquez 🤍🤍🤍

[@user-jm1tp9bj4e]

True

[@ramoncyruzodon8742]

Almost over you at around 19:××, wow. Wala na. Tapos na ang laban. This was 2005, and this is the voice na hinahanap ko, na medyo hirap sya i sustain ngayon, but that is very understandable. She's also human na nababawasan ang kapal ng boses as we aged. Pero walang makaka abot ng ganyang boses kahit sa generation ngayon. As in wala. Sa mga loyal fans nya, hindi na ang boses nya ang hinahanap natin kay regine ngayon, kung hindi ang makasama at suportahan sya. I remember nong silver concert nya, kung saan nawala ang boses nya,sabi ni vice ganda "regine, hindi naman kami nagpunta dito para marinig ka kumanta ng matataas na tono. Nagpunta kami dito para makasama ka uli". So, ating mga fans nya, wala sa atin kung may mga times na hindi nya maabot ang tone minsan o kung may acid reflux sya. Kapag nanonood tayo ng concert nya, andun tayo para suportahan ang ating idol. That's it. Pero kapag nasa kondisyon siya at may pahinga, kaya pa rin naman. She's not only a good singer but also a good soul that God used as an instrument

[@phillippascion6844]

now kayang kaya n nmn nya hehe

[@malditamanrchris9868]

Ramon Cyruz Odon napamura LNG ako at goosebump hayyyy nothing change for me about R2k

[@ramoncyruzodon8742]

[@babyface2k]

Regine is obviously the original Riffs and Runs of the Philippines 💞🎙. She would even try to sing a song different or add new notes to her own version. Regine the Great 👸

[@kazkucafevlog6604]

She is the only singer that have several medleys of songs as tribute to other singers which is obviously vocally demanding and hard to sing, and yet always gives justice to it..

[@flordelizaflores1145]

The concert was 2006 but here I am listening 2022 still the power of voice of Ms. Regine didn’t fade 👍👌She is the Ultimate Diva of the Philippines of all times 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@dudzskitv1594]

Yesterday is Regines 50th birthday, and as of today, still Lockdown kaya mag Concert marathon tayo.

[@honey6674]

I'm so emotional while watching this concert all over again. Now that Regine has gone older, we can honestly say that no one has ever replaced her, yet. We now realize how important it is to have someone like her whom we can be proud of to represent the Philippines alongside Mariah, Whitney, Celine, etc. Thank you, Regine, for sharing your talents with not only us, the Filipinos, but the whole world. 🌹🌹🌹

[@aevalencia21]

dito yung best version for me ng run to you nya.. galing ng control👌👌

[@JanetAsna]

She is so young and beautiful here...❤️She is the idol of idols..❤️

[@OliverCar]

Ubusan to ng data ha ha ... Thanks for sharing .. God Bless .. Keep calm, stay home ...

[@AndreSongCovers]

One thing I noticed. You can barely hear her breathing heavily while singing. Her voice is really flawless!

[@ytchannel613]

This. How little Regine breathes between each line of a song - it's one of the things that make her a real freak of nature. The Long line sustains with split second breathing spaces are her specialties. Ang tagal tagal niyang bitawan ang kada linya ng kanta - she doesnt really do pauses and it's one of her many trademarks. Not only that she has pipes of steel; she has lungs of steel too. Lalamunan at bagang bakal.

[@aidarosamelo1088]

Beautiful clear and sweet singing voice, that's Regine Velasquez!

[@flordelizaflores1145]

True , now ang mga singers not to mention theirs names puro nlang hininga nila marinig mo at high notes hnd mo na maintindihan ang lyrics ng song 🤣✌️

[@habeyertrinidad3125]

She deserves millions of likes, comments and subscribers.to God be all the glory

[@arielramos8612]

One of the most memorable concert niya na napanood ko ng live. Share ko lang. Kaka-break lang namin ng jowa ko, tapos nakita ko siya sa concert na to kasama ang bago niyang jowa na dinedeny pa nila that time kasi parang ilang linggo palang kaming naghihiwalay. Nakaupo sila 5 rows in front of us. Hahaha. Sobrang sakit tuloy ng Break It to Me Gently rendition niya dito. Buong concert yata umiiyak ako at sa kanila lang halos nakatingin. 🤣🤣🤣 after 7 years nagkabalikan kami, and now we're engaged. 👍💃❤

From 43:12 - 43:24 Grabeee yung mga mata ni Ate Reg. Nangungusap. Napaka feminine din talaga ng boses nya. On the other hands, trade mark niya talaga yung ganyang mata. Kaya madaming baklang gumagaya sa mala duling dulingan nya. ANG CUUUUUUTTTTEEE!!!!!! 😍😍😍

[@ytchannel613]

19:54 The stage was filled with some of the ~40 designer gowns that Regine auctioned for the benefit of the less fortunate children and GMA Kapuso Foundation. Among the notable auctioned gowns are the Black Louie Mamengo outfit from the 1989 Asia Pacific Singing Contest, the black sheer Rajo Laurel gown from R2K, the fully beaded nude/white gown from Martin and Regine concert and the yellow gown with a long train from Reigning Still.

[@arielramos8612]

pag- pupugay Sayo Regine dahil nabigyan mo ng makatarungan damdamin ang mga kanta na iyong inawit

Grabe naka todo sa taas ung key ng mga songs nya dto lalo almost over you ... Ms Reg idol tlga kita hahaha

[@ytchannel613]

Baby girl talaga ni Ate Reg si Jona eh. Guest si Jona lagi sa napakadaming concerts ni Ate Reg.

[@ytchannel613]

Reflections is a concert series which ran for 8 nights at the Aliw Theater in 2005. The theme are the memorable songs of Regine's career, dreams, and heartaches. It also featured the music which inspired her own.

[@jaycastro07]

It was actually inspired by Celine Dion's Vegas residency "A New Day" because it was an eight-night concert series and look at the stage design, just like Celine's concert in Vegas!

[@romeomartin1411]
