Lol Hafeez killed me! Hafeez is one of those talents that brings so much joy when he is on screen. He has this innate ability to lift not only himself but others around him as well on the screen. Cheers to the dynamic duo of Jared and Hafeez! This is such a beautiful segment. Music is one of the tools that takes us back to a time when something significant happen to us like a first crush, or a heartbreak, tough times and good times. Thank you TSL.

[@mochicookies8563]

1:15 should be 安静?

[@jasonchua9112]

[@tys-md5dl]

[@Ben-kh2rh]

No. 2 rookie mistake from a seasoned channel

[@yvonne1256]

Hahaha wow hafiz singing in chi 👍 always love hafiz and Jared combo

[@gabrielliew455]

I feel that Chinese songsl somehow still maintain that child like innocence. positive themes on life and love that we all can relate to. Lyrics are "Gentle" and positive.

[@RonLarhz]

oh you did not know jian ao then. . . . it's like date grape....

[@ahsengwenger713]

The songs brought me back to the good old days when my life was all about Maplestory, Nokia 3310, mIRC and MSN messenger. Shout-out to Brenda and Adria, more covers please.Thanks 聪明本地人

[@LoverZSouL]

Maplestory 🥺😭

[@twguang]

Haha when Hafeez suddenly appeared in a love duet with Jerald

[@TheShanechristian]

Adria needs an album of her own……

[@getfitwithnicol]

Yes that was one of my fav songs! Anette sings the upbeat (last song?!) really well! Really suits her voice

[@sherman5566]

I think she needs more improvement

[@noel6764]

this medley of chinese songs just brings back so many memories of different stages of our lives. In the blink of an eye, we have all grown up :')

[@Jay-ru2cw]

Love the singing by Adria (especially the higher notes), Brenda and Ian! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done to all singers and guest appearance by Hafeez! Hahahha! His appearance made the whole video so funny and light-hearted instead of so emo… hahaha.

[@Ahbennson]

Please get KTV to add this song to their list, will be the new 情歌王 to play for our last song to make those money worth!!! Btw, Timestamp and song title: 0:08 听海 - 张惠妹 1:12 安静 - 周杰伦 3:10 童话 - 光亮 3:40 那些年 - 胡夏 5:28 小幸运 - 田馥甄 6:23 不为谁而做的歌 - 林俊杰 7:22 不该 - 周杰伦 & 张惠妹 8:18 你好不好 - 周兴哲 9:11 有一种悲伤 - A-Lin 11:08 刻在我心底的名字 -卢广仲

[@jayershankumar4128]

Hafeez out of nowhere he can sing in chinese

[@massivepanda8692]

@Hafeez Harris HAHAHHA

[@lildevil872]

@Hafeez Harris good job bro. I'm chinese and can't even sing chinese songs

[@wongxinhao1996]

Adria ❤️‍🔥. Love her rendition of 不该 with Ian.

[@splashburst]

I like Adria's and Brenda's singing the most, their singing set up the mood for the songs and brought me into the songs' stories immediately.

[@bryanikambing]

Omg the Adria and ian 不该 duet is da bomb guys! 应该！So good!

[@moomoo-es7uu]

ian's voice is so good omg 🤩🤩 pls have him on more singing videos!!

[@jen5138]

The songs Adria sang like bu gai and yi zhong bei shang are some of the more difficult songs to sing yet delivered so well. Always a pleasure hearing TSL's songbird sing. Jiayou!

[@karwai1875]

anyone else singing along the whole video?? pls tell me I'm not the only one 🤣

[@jokerholic2422]

Auntie, I really love your hokkien accent. Can sing for me some of your favourite hokkien songs?

[@ngcollin88]

Probably derived from her Peranakan heritage I believe

[@jokerholic2422]

@@ngcollin88 The comment was a reference to a character she created. Annette is definitely a multi-talented artist / content creator

[@yeochelsea]

How can y'all leave Sew out!!???!?! 😭

[@Limdion]

Same! I was expecting see sew inside 😂

[@TheSmartLocal]

Maybe she will have her own video leh??

[@artyzach]

Hahaha expect that if sew is in, will be the 梁山伯/朱丽叶 song

[@ning8774]

oOo ian is pretty good too!!! props to the editor for the hardwork 💯

[@darentan1969]

i know Adria can sing, but WOW BRENDA. that pitch, power and emotions.

[@violetvoo8011]

Please do more Chinese karaoke covers. I enjoyed it. Too long never go karaoke

[@wolfcry91]

Where's Sew?

[@MrRazorteeth]

she needs to be featured solo

[@wesleylim3589]

All are great singers!!!! But when it comes to mandopop...咬字 really makes or breaks I feel. Adria, Ian and Brenda seriously nailed it OMG.👌👏

[@txy345]

hmmm I thought Jay Chou was notorious for not enunciating words properly. But he has improved over the years.

[@noel6764]

Hafeez so extra but so funny I love it hahaha

[@ashweediary]

Omg I love Brenda’s voice 🥰

[@MrRazorteeth]

小幸运 and 不该 is so good!

[@Limdion]

Annette and Adria should collaborate 😍😍😍

[@sourcream890]

I really think Ian's voice is good. Hope to see more singing performance of his.

[@aliciabuoey]

What a great way to welcome karaoke sesh back! 👍🏻 (Adria please cover more A-lin songs, amazing cover!)

[@zennypoh2375]

Omg Brenda singing wowowwwww more pleaseee

[@dawnho7744]

Suddenly, Hafeez sang and I giggled. 😆 TSL has so many good voices! Nice.

[@ariel3725]

Omg they included the song from 'Your Name Engraved Herein'. 😍

[@brandonleow1292]

These nostalgic songs bring back memories. Would like to hear more song covers! :D

[@Lolliney]

Eh got jiwang Malay version not?

[@irondeadshot4926]

woah my favorite Adria is here... 😍😍😍

[@revengeds]

eh. as much as the singing is ok. all these songs are old. not much evolution. meaning this video can be done 2 years or even 3 years ago .

[@mainisahbuang6400]

Please do Hari raya songs next! Love this video nevertheless! Thanks smartlocal

[@tys-md5dl]

I genuinely have no idea how many times I’ve replayed this at work today. I love this so much, please make more of such videos

[@iamChinelicous]

Wahhhhh this video really collated most of the classic songs popular during my earlier KTV days! Really love it! Well done la guys 🤩 How come Rainier nv sing ah! Hahaha...

[@CineGangSG]

I CLB HAHA

[@amandalim8733]

Hafeez is the real star tbh

[@AngelaAKX]

HAHAHA Hafeez is so cute

[@maxtrysanything]

@Teo Heng Trading & Ktv Studio Please put this on your playlist!

[@jn8122]

I personally think that if Jereld and Ian can make a group band it will be so cool I feel they both voices matches each other

[@chongwithyeo6274]

Where's the 五月天 songs!?

[@phgoh]

I appreciate the 繁體字 💖

[@nbsxtheresa]

My husband and I were impressed with Ian's vocals. He can hit those high notes with ease. Well done!

[@robbyjai]

you and your husband are fking tone death if you are impressed with ians vocals. everyone of the singers are fking terrible. Off Pitch completely. The notes are all over the place, nasally, monotone struggles with high notes. its just deadset shit

[@NicksonNg]

Why no sew!

[@matildawormwood4181]

Hello where is Annette and Ben's caifan song???

[@c.m-h]

What do they have all in common. (Yes, even hafeez.) They close their eyes 👀 ~

[@itsellen4464]

Where’s Sew? 🥺

[@omnommich7904]

Damn nice - encore or round 2!!!

[@ldeeeiscool1707]

BYE HAFEEZ PART KILLED ME

[@potatoes3212]

Ian lims voice not bad siall

[@jman2413]

why never feature sew :( im sure she improved alot :D

[@pinkalligator6302]

damn annette and adria😨🙏

[@keysandmusic8375]

Someone give me the timeline of the songssss !!!waiting for that comment

[@frostboi77]

LOL i can just HEAR the jay chou slurirng of words from Jerald

[@jocyelyngoh]

please more for adria and brenda!!! 😍

[@LoverZSouL]

Why do we have to grow up.... 🥺😭

[@jouerduviolin]

Where is sewwwww

[@trext888]

Why no SEW??

[@mamemo359]

Annette's voice is really nice but it sounds a little emotionally empty when she was singing. It was more technical than moving somehow... My favourite was the guy in the 4th song I think! And Brenda 😍

[@nubstick]

love it, more of this please! #jeez #annettextsl

[@loltubeish]

Hafeez scene caught me off guard I died HAHAHAHA

[@Aaleeexy]

Please make this into a series!! Need MORE

[@badtzmaru6921]

Where is Charsiew? U guys banned her from singing? 😁

[@nanofingaz]

Adria👌🏻

[@NerdTae]

can someone list out the songs sang?

[@nyarlathotep_jr]

Brenda was phenomenal

[@GabeWatchesAnime]

I never knew Annette was a singer wtf??? Why does she sound so GOOD?

[@ijion956]

Ok but where is the songstress of TSL?

[@JeraineJerrenz]

3:00 is so funny 😂🤣

[@XiethXander]

Who gave the 2nd guy the courage to sing??? 😂😂😂 My ear bleeding

[@CeliaGoh]

what’s with the subtitles? consistency? 一下简体 一下繁體 看了頭好痛😖 interesting to see the hit songs for the past decade are all OSTs from hit movies.. it seems like songs will only get noticed if it’s featured in movies 🤔 p/s the gap between 童話 and 那些年 is too wide la.. my whole sec school life is gone😂😂😂 should have inserted another song or two.. 離開地球表面 is such a classic from that era

[@KAIST977]

I think it stems from original subtitles

[@CeliaGoh]

@@KAIST977 nah, all these songs are released in Taiwan.. and 不該 that song alone started with simplified then turned into traditional 🫢

[@yeanyt]

On point 👍👍👍. Plus Hafeez is a surprise but really 👍👍👍

[@firedragonkelvin]

Any chance for an English version?

[@382playz]

OMG HI ANNETTE! I LOVE YOU AND TSL'S SINGING

[@fiyawwwn]

omg 12 mins of eargasm 🥹 goodjob all!

[@monsteryfury]

Annette 😍

[@justinngbingrong4577]

Hafeez the best in the entire video! Super surprised and impressed!!!

[@tulipsandpeaches1834]

It should be titled feat. Hafeez 🤣

[@agsh5]

Brenda and Ian the best in my opinion. good vocals, not too airy

[@Comingsafra]

[@Nobdythere_157]

[@shuwenwen]
