This Filipino got a standing ovation on a Thai vocal show!

[@perlatolentino6287]

the judges' standing ovation was in recognition of the efforts the singer did in perfecting the song in their language... it's human nature to be impressed...

[@pattimblaco2440]

Because he sang a Thailand song

[@joelaverion4244]

Yes the judges is impress and excited because thier song is perform and pronounce by other nationality perfectly.

[@ezraknj]

You nailed it Ovela. Maybe they're happy bec a Filipino can sing well with their accent... but in Philippine setting, he's just a common singer.

[@RitaMarie-c4t]

They are so excited because a Filipino could sing very well in there language

[@leonaldoruiz9763]

they are not about how good he is , this is about how he sing a thai language and he pronounce the word very well Ovela thanks by the way to react this video❤

[@Oneofmyfav.SingerSoniaAn-hy8nz]

Agree, kabayan

[@esthermiranda8815]

Thai judges are not particular in judging in beltings but give emphasis on lyrics and how the singer expresses or singing it with feelings...as i read in other channel...yes he is not really good in singing but becos he deliver it with feelings ...u know pinoys sing with feelings thats why judges were amazed and admire him.....and he won in that weeks episode...

[@ronaldyap4606]

Basta gustong kantahin ng pilipino mggwa...khit anu pang klase ng slita ang ggmitin s kanta..kc mpag aaralan nmn yan at mappraktis bago kantahin...basta may mgandang boses yan bbnat yan..

[@myrnasalmorin7081]

because he sang the song well in Thai languages so they stood up

[@BluebirdAzul]

*_very true kuya O, filipino singing contest are very tough.. we have a lot of good singers but we still have a lot of best singers and some exceeds the expectation..._*

[@ceciliamanacsa9872]

Oh boy i can’t believe pinoy singing Thai song. U make us proud filipino 👌

[@KAIStyle525]

The singer is actually good if you consider his techniques, Thai song arrangements are simple but very hard to sing for foreigners. Although he got the pronunciation and intonation of Thai words correctly, the vocal instrument that he used for singing is very Filipino and does not completely match the correct resonance for Thai pronunciation. The Thai language often uses more forward-placed, nasal sounds, giving it that distinct tone. Filipino can have more varied sounds, often resonating from the throat and chest, adding depth to the language. Different linguistic “flavors,” if you will. The judges were impressed by the singer's unique interpretation of the song, incorporating elements like riffs and runs that are commonly found in Filipino songs. This departure from the original Thai version and its traditional singing style showcased the singer's versatility. They were particularly impressed by his flawless pronunciation of Thai words, demonstrating a deep understanding of the language.

[@aclau7]

You are so correct, these judges just have to go to Filipino bars, talents are abundant. This guy is subpar for a Filipino singing competitions.

[@gresfelabicanetorillo3172]

Music is life to Pilipino’s people👏

[@richardallones8783]

hes REJOICE MERELOS nice to see that video again from your vlog❤️❤️

[@rhanhelljhann10]

Its not about singing that impressed that thai spectators,. But proper thai diction in terms of singing,., that impression you can get also from miss regine velasquez if you are a foreigner who sang with perfect diction to a tagalog song, , even if your not so good as a singer

[@RylleKrizPellien]

They're just so impressed that He can sing and actually speak Thai which is very difficult language to learn. ( I studied that language too for 1yr and 6months but still not fluent).

[@mariamuerrielle6952]

The judges impressed because he can sing in thai language...that's why he got standing ovation...

[@melanietacud1376]

When it comes to Philippines singing Contest it's overall Performance, Voice Quality, Interpretations, Pronunciations, Emotions it's a plus if you can hit high notes because its means you can hiy any notes👑😍🇵🇭

[@arnoldcomparativo7860]

Perfect pitch,best interpretation of the Thai song,superb musicality of the singer

[@francedesederio6683]

Ovela he’s not a SINGER BY profession he is a teacher

[@BlancheBrogan]

In simple terms, Thailand lacks exceptional singers, thus they are astounded by this Filipino singer!

[@marilousumo226]

Maybe because he is singing in Thai that is why the audience are excited

[@LuisAndrewSustituido]

Ovela got infected by filipino singing standard.😆

[@JorgeBersabe]

😂😂😂😂, siya kaya mag thai ng proper diction at pronounces magawa nia kaya pag Tagalog nga nia di padin perfect eh 🤣🤣🤣🤣, just stating facts ok 😏

[@danielito3766]

HE IS JUST A REGULAR FILIPINO TEACHER IN THAILAND. THAYS HOW GOOD FILIPIMOS ARE. AVERAGE GUY JOINED A SINGING CONTEST IN THAI !. HE NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A PROFESSIONAL SINGER SO GIVE HIM THE RESPECT. FELLOW ASIANS LOVE HIM COZ NOT MUCH TALENT IN SINGING IN THEIR LAND. TJEY ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE.

[@partyeslife8157]

3:30 but they haven't heard a filipino sing one of their songs. perhaps that's what excites them? they know about filipino singers being great, but never heard it done in their langauge! maybe the 'mistakes' were perfect in thai 🤣🤣 maybe thai needs to be in that specific note that sounds off in our ears but perfect in theirs? i really have no idea 🤣🤣 6:50 Mori sang korean at that show and made people cry, and KZ sang that chinese song not knowing any chinese as well making them cry :).

[@raquelaragona798]

Everything you said is so true. I couldn’t understand myself how he got a standing ovation

[@benjaminpombo9782]

they could not believe that the singer could sing in their native tongue/language.

[@bluewolf4789]

Perfect thai pronounciation and intonation and also they impress with his vibrato and runs

[@ronaldocoronado8875]

becouse pilipino is very smart with talent

[@jamv423]

Too proud

[@leonilopatubo3526]

He sang a thai song and he sang it right that is why the judges wete so impressed

[@Xhocobutternut]

I saw this in Tiktok, he's not a totally singer he is just a normal a teacher in Thailand

[@adrianaverion8996]

cause thai language is very hard to learn that's why they're so impressed plus him, singing it while pronouncing the words so well

[@pattygolez987]

agreed…it’s not about the voice anymore it’s about how he pronounced and sing it in a nice accent

[@JojoAntonio-kw3bt]

Tama wag masyado hard ovela

[@elsaserrano1309]

I think he is singing in Thai language that's why they are happy,a Filipino singing in Thai.

[@JohnKevinlee]

Thai and Filipinos also look very similar to each other, both Southeast Asians and also related to each other ethnically.

[@tonihoward1250]

They can’t believe Filipino could sing in their language

[@dariusestrella666]

You are totally correct and I agree on your reactions.

[@henceldeanon9233]

They are too impressed that a foreigner could sing their song? But, for a Filipino. It is too normal... Secondly, many Filipinos are, in Thailand teaching English language...

[@salvadorcultivo7283]

I think those judges are really excited and exaggerated maybe because they don't expect that a filipino can sing Thai language really well and the song is a hit in thailand

[@juliababymusiczone1288]

That’s a Thai song and that’s how it sing that’s it. He’s still good no hate just love ❤️🇵🇭

[@papabhern1804]

Or else we need to read the thai comment,s so we can understand why they react that way.

[@raimondeiuxpark6561]

Hes name is rejoice merelious and his a professor in some universities in thailand.

[@lovzpx23]

My gosh proud of him.. Anyway I can sing some of Thailand songs even though I don't know how to speak their language... Thai lovers watching their Thai series everyday even though im a Filipino...

[@SheilaMaeDoronila-el9ry]

I've been in Thailand and their singing style is complicated there's a lot of curves and yodeling hehe it's their traditional song style

[@jov.642]

I've tried singing a couple of Thai songs but I always find it a challenge to where to break the syllables that isn't awkward or that may change the meaning of the word I was trying to pronounce and still be in tune. 😅 So kudos for him for that. Plus, he tries to add a little runs here and there, which isn't common in Thai ballads or music in general (or at least, to the Thai music I've heard ✌️ sorry for any overgeneralization)

[@thelonetraveler3073]

🎉magaling tlga c kuya

[@amoci17]

but i love the flute thing.. am i the only one who love the flute instrument?

[@catherinedagusenidos2374]

He is good ...its just the song and the sound of Thailand is like that.

[@Johnnie-p1j]

filipinos are easily imitate and learn other languages such morissete amon sung korean song, marcilto sung in italian😊

[@danielito3766]

Filipinos did it again

[@SimplyMe-y4p]

I can't fully judge him because of the language barrier, but I love the song, and I kind of agree with Ovela. Talent shows often have a controlled audience where they're told when to clap and stand.

[@marieannvaldez3734]

I've heard thai songs and it's not like the Filipino songs that you whistle, high and low notes, etc. and full of emotions. Thai songs have simple notes as far as the songs I've heard. I love it though

[@TeresitaAbana]

Im sorry to him also his singing Lucky of effort

[@janetdeatras3828]

They are judges...maybe they're just amaze because the filipino is singing on their Thai language..

[@claudettepagulayan6859]

Stop bashing broo.

[@galisdomingo8789]

I can Japanese, portuges, Spanish,,English, pilipino songs too

[@RonaldoCeroriales]

Proud pilipino sing Thailand song...

[@Xriz-lv3sq]

I agree with u that he’s not that great as other Filipinos singers who sings Tagalog or English but singing in Thai in the Thai crowd or show is enough good for them cuz I don’t see any Thai singers or songs who that hitting high note or belting cuz most of them seems like they’re singing thru their nose and of course Thai ppl will be impressed enough to see singing their songs by Filipino and not any Thai who sing Tagalog

[@liezelpineda9417]

[@JojoAntonio-kw3bt]

No ovela, your being subject to the best singer

[@jennieivana5544]

Thai appreciate the emotion when singing and not high notes .. that’s how they judge

[@LigawingPinoy]

Because the Thai language isn't easy. Been living and working here for a little over 5 years and my Thai language skills are still nowhere to be at 10% of literacy haha (also bc I don't study since this language is only useful here). I'd rather focus on my Deutsch or Español 😅😊

[@noelchua2954]

Tienes razón kababayan

[@danilodionisio6546]

I agree with you. He definitely can sing but not good enough. I guess the judges were just appreciative that he can sing in Thai.

[@lorebethgobrin4838]

they can also sing, Japanese,korian song

[@roadtripwithian26]

You are not reacting yet to the voice kids season 5 champion shane. She is good

[@vinedee9428]

I think they amazed because he sings thai language

[@divt2445]

Ovela, he actually is singing great but in Thai. Unfortunately, Thai intonations and inflictions can be misunderstood as not within par in Western style of singing.

[@kashikoji4988]

Fortunately, he won.. hahah

The song doesn't have those expected high notes, Thai much appreciation of any foreign singers could fully adapt their very difficult language,their music or song was not an exhibition or needed vocal calisthenics

[@hootowl905]

I would be also be super impressed if you sing a tagalong song with perfect pronunciation.

[@PatelHussin]

😢

He sounds like a firstimer or just practicing...haha lol.. but he sounds not bad.. like his singing the same note all the time.. but he has a nice vibrato..

​@@vinedee9428Thai language is so hard to learn and pronounce by other people specially a foreigner in their Coutry..thats why the judge and the audience impress him...

pls reacy to a Family Band MISSIONED SOULS...Sepaprate ways by Journey..thank you 😊

[@TeresitaCandog]

Maybe the judges are just overwelm because he sing a song inthai laguage

[@athenaplaysph]

Thai language is one of the hardest language to pronounce or to sound due to their ridiculous intonation. One word could change to another totally different meaning just by the intonation. It is a difficult language to learn too. It is also rare to use a mix resonance, like the chest tones. Thai usually uses nasal and head tones that is why when you hear them talk it is very pitchy. It is impressive because he could properly pronounce the words while singing and using a mix resonance.

[@milafuentes1906]

That is a Thai language sir, he is good he is😅 a Filipino can sing a Thai song
