The Filipino Music Industry is not lacking talent |Latinos react to Katrina Velarde NO MIC CHALLENGE

[@Nono-lr1ry]

I'm just so happy that she's currently getting the spotlight she deserves.

[@buchi777_]

AGREE!! ONE OF THE BEST TECHNICALLY NOT JUST IN THE PHILIPPINES BUT ALSO IN THE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC INDUSTRY. THANK YOU GUYS.

[@paulabrahamacuna9935]

Wow!!! Super love it!!! Superb as always Katrina velarde!!!!👸🏻🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@bokrason6194]

efra is exactly right ! Filipino singers have the amazing talent, what is lacking are the original works that the world can relate to.

[@lazybear236]

Aside from marketing they need good translations to English. For example, why is there no English version of It's raining in Manila?

[@monkeymind9304]

Yes! They should create their original song. Lots of them. Because Katrina release original songs too but it was rarely played on air.

[@thegagz]

@@lazybear236not really. Look how popular kpop is. They don’t need to translate anything. Good music is good music. It’s all about exposure and marketing

[@ClaireAnneLee]

We actually have a lot of Filipino musicians that do/compose Original Pinoy/Philippine Music both in Filipino (Tagalog/Bisaya/other Philippine Languages) and in English. However, you need to step out of the mainstream / commercial arena to see them. If you consume music outside of ASAP/AOS/talent competitions produced by these giant networks, you can find them. Immerse yourself in the gigging scene (in open mics, in school fairs' concerts, in town festivals where they invite not only big established musicians but also their local musicians,etc) and you'd find how rich OPM (with emphasis on the O - Original) actually is and how well their song can resonate not just with Filipinos but also to non-Filipinos. Those musicians and their original music just don't get as much exposure because they don't have the marketing machinery that big networks with their own record labels or other big record label do have. Big networks with their own record label arm (Star Music/ Tarsier Records for ABS CBN, GMA Music (or whatever they call it now) for GMA) prioritize the music they produce for their own artists and have a rolodex of popular local and international music they already paid the license for to use in their various shows (remember that issue with SB19's song "Gento" and Anne Curtis in Showtime?) that's why people who's primary method of consuming music is via TV/Radio shows (musical variety shows/ talent competition) have a very limited exposure to good OPM music and they just end up listening to the same song being covered over and over again. In turn, they share and request the same music/songs being covered by various FIlipino artists to content creators like Waleska & Efra so people outside the Philippines are only exposed to a very limited selection of Original Philippine Music.

​@@thegagzsadly it's about the visuals

[@eyeshield7783]

well said guys,, every artist has their own sets of vocals,, and Philippines artist has their own,, Salamat po sa magandang komento,, buong pagsuporta po mula sa amin mga Pilipino,, ❤❤❤

[@mdc7081]

PH music industry needs worldwide marketing.

[@user-ux1sf8jw4i]

Yes. Cause ABS CBN HAS ACTUALLY AMAZING TALENT OF ARTISTS. ABS CBN JUST DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO MARKET INTERNATIONALLY..

[@JA_VE]

​@@user-ux1sf8jw4iHalos lahat ng ano sa Pilipinas di marunong mag market internationally sayang lang talented panaman mga pinoy du lang sa kanta kundi pati sa sayaw makakatulong sana sa ekonomiya

[@joshcullenmyheart_sb19]

Vice really does what she pleases and that what makes her shows so fun. Her brain is just so full of bright ideas, whether it's serious or like this. And about Katrina Velarde, I'm not a fan, but I agree, she's indeed one of the best vocalists in the Philippines. She's incredible.

[@pucchik]

One of the best and honest reactors who appreciate real, as in REAL talent. MGN was so biased saying that Katrina tends to overdo her runs bec he prefers Morissette. I think both singers were talented but technically wise just like these reactors said, Katrina is the best!

[@markanthonylabriaga1058]

My God this is very true!!!! I unsubscribe to him because he is full of bias.

[@pucchik]

@@markanthonylabriaga1058 i never subscribed to him bec he thinks that he is so musically inclined. Maybe yes, but he was so bias!

[@monstercrave615]

I agree!👌 the talent is there, but Filipino singers just need BIG OPPORTUNITIES...

[@jimcian]

Imagine, katrina started as a singer "wanna be" on youtube using comb as her mic several years back and now look at her, she's recognized as one of the best singers and best vocals in PH. 👏👏👏🙌

[@benchayluster3195]

Katrina Velarde is a force of nature ❤

[@nabesmixedvlog7660]

You are exactly right Efra, the only way to break the barriers is to produce original songs that will capture the heart of the audience internationally. Just honestly speaking, that vocally our Filipino singers are already so damn good. Just saying.😊🇵🇭

[@Sascha_Germany]

One of the best in the phil automatically makes her one of the best itw. Greetings from germany

[@christinetizon2608]

katrina is so amazing

[@gingerm1974]

It is so funny when Vice said a we don't the mic turn it off save electricity😅

[@ValentineRey]

❤ Katrina Velarde 🤩

[@chelle6943]

Inaabangan ko talaga ang comment ni Efra every RV nila😂😂 who's with me😂

[@heidiOhhhRaRa]

Every day for the past 3 years ❤

[@my.business]

*The odd thing is....this was going viral on YT but ABS/CBN removed it. It's reasons like that why Kat is underrated. They keep her suppressed when she outshines others*

[@ColinChristie1]

Efra. Facts!

[@sizzlersphinx]

'Agree on your point about Celine Dion. In some ways she had a similar path as these great Filipino singers. Celine was a phenomenal star singing French in Quebec for so many years, unknown to the world. She was lucky (because she was madly talented) that she finally had the opportunity to break into the American market in the 90s, and then the rest is history. Please do a reaction/analysis of Celine's musicality through the years.

[@theyeramos7683]

iba k talaga ni katrina..

[@le57erguapo43]

She's one of the best singers in PH. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Jabs79]

Vice said Katrina's voice has high volume so that's why Vice tested how far the mic can be away from Katrina and still sound clear.Amazing singer 🙌🙌🙌❤

[@bugoyayu1410]

Katrina loved this❤️❤️

[@josemelvindejesus1166]

wow..... that's a big claim..one of the greatest singer "technical singer"..

[@edgardoarcangel2009]

Katrina is the real queen 👑💖

[@ikawkj24]

Filipinos no doubt could kick ass when it comes to music the only lacking is packaging and the image

[@bituin8060]

Your correct efra❤❤love u said

[@arnelnolial7518]

Well said brother, Philippine singers should focus and push original songs rather than covers

[@tcat6133]

Sexy as always, Waleska, Katrina is off the stratosphere! Crazy good! Always love the two of you…reactions real and fun!

[@Zee_1003]

you HAVE TO react to Katrina's performance of BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER at the KRIB.

[@alexeixxd]

Yes, we just don't have the full video however 😓

[@Zee_1003]

Vice is not just a host there. he is the BUH (Business Unit Head) of It's Showtime so he really has freedom to do whatever he thinks will add to the entertainment value of the segment.

[@darryldionela9550]

Mabuhay guys mahal ko kayu

[@roannebello3408]

I love Waleska's outfit for this video!! I love to recreate it but I don't have the confidence lol

[@TiteLaki]

[@igetcrazier]

I liked because Waleska looks like a dream in that outfit!

[@donguevarra469]

Efra hit the nail in the head.

[@iamgriego]

The problem is her own Management, she wven has an upcoming concert yet her management llacks support nor left and right promotions, she's doing it all by herself.

[@alicesalon9512]

[@MagnumNYC]

OMG.....I always knew she could sing but damn, her skills are outrageous. You guys need a translator on hand. There's a lot of little things they say that you guys are missing out on. I'd love to hear your comments. At one point Vice said to not use the mic anymore, its a waste of electricity. rofl

[@alec187]

I don't think the reason OPM hasn't crossed the mainstream is because there isn't enough original music being made, in fact, there has always been plenty of originality in the industry. The problem is there is a disconnect between what is original filipino music and what the mainstream media pushes. This is because there is a fundamental problem with how the entertainment industry is structured, deeply rooted in history and how filipinos consume media due to these reasons: 1. Filipinos consume a lot of western media: Due to our history as a former US territory and as an English speaking country, we consume a lot of western music, just as much if not more than Filipino music. As a result, what's popular is the Philippines at any given moment usually depends on what is popular in the US. 2. Mass media is controlled by only a couple of profit based broadcasting companies: ABS-CBN and GMA dominate what is shown on TV thus controls which artists are given air time. 3. The Birth of the cover artist and the matinee idol: The combination of the pressure of competing with the Western market and the Philippines's largely conservative culture has made this monopolized broadcasting industry to pander to both the western itch and the filipino catholic values. The result - in order to be a famous singer that the masses see on TV, you are discouraged to be experimental and creative. Instead, most singers are limited to singing covers of already popular western music (often clean ballads) in noontime shows such as Showtime and ASAP, or transition to an acting career whilst upholding a clean images which often results in very corny and underproduced pablum. The same reason why we have love teams, our Christian values extend even to our media that even our actors have to be professionally monogamous. 4. The Underground: those who choose to be original, experimental, artistic are forced to create waves outside of popular media. This is why there are so many great alternative rock bands and hiphop artists in the country but you would never see them on television apart from the occasional special guesting. Most filipinos have developed an ear that compartmentalized bands, rappers and balladeers, this is because we often associate different genres with different levels of creativity and freedom. Balladeers, great as they are, are almost never associated with originality... that is usually reserved for alternative rock bands and hiphop artists who garner a different kind of respect. It is only very recently that the gap getting smaller because of the death of old fashioned broadcasting and the rise of social media and the internet. Most younger people no longer watch TV and watch everything on KZbin. Now filipino artists are finally given a platform where they can promote the music they want to make, instead of singing a Mariah Carey song for the 1 millionth time. Sadly, the industry molds the audience. For far too long, the only way to be a profitable singer is to sing Mariah Carey a million times. I am convinced that much of the filipino public are incapable of appreciating our own artists without comparing them to foreign artists. They could never just succeed as filipinos, they are stuck in the narrative that they may be good for the Philippines, but never good enough for the world stage, as if that is the one true measure for Filipino excellence.

[@frisc0pn0ib0i]

I think the western artists have nothing on Morisette and Katrina. Honestly I think all OPM artists need to break into American mainstream is good producers and songwriters from the US. I love my country but their writers are corny when it comes to songwriting. And their producers are outdated. Most common reactors say is Filipino artists sound 90s. Because it’s true.
