Regine Velasquez - Can't Take That Away (2000)

Asia's Songbird - Regine Velasquez' dedicates her heartfelt rendition of "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)" to herself live on SOP 2000.
Sporting a very short funky hairstyle from her long jet black hair as a rebellious act on what she was feeling that time. Sure she was going through something difficult here as we can tell seeing her in a brink of crying at some parts of the performance.

Wowwww 😍 This is my first time seeing RVA singing Cant take that Away. I've seen Mori's and Katrina's versions, both gave justice. But this one 😍😍 Sa bridge, hindi nabago yung texture kahit tumaas na yung notes. I admire Regine's consistency in singing. Truly she's the queen.

[@carleoke2400]

This SOP performance was amidst her US visa issue. She was supposed to fly for her R2K US Concert Tour, but she faced a ban from entering the US due to a visa application controversy involving a production staff member. Despite the emotional strain, she maintained silence professionally. A year or two later, the ban lifted, allowing her to share her side in KZbin videos. It revealed she was unaware of the staff's plans, and she successfully proved her innocence in the case.

Totoo po ba na Mariah called her Brown Monkey?? Parang may ganun issue before eh..

@@ronjk97 As per Regine, wala naman daw ganun. Tapos tinanong din si Donita Rose, who was then a VJ in MTV where the interview allegedly happened, wala naman daw ganung statement si Mariah.

People are comparing this performance to Mori and Kat. Not fair. Regine was going through a tough time in her life and was obviously very emotional singing this song and trying to hold back her tears, which made her voice shaky and pitchy is some parts. It’s insensitive to even compare this performance to others.
