I love watching you make your reactions, opinion etc.

[@teresitawiebe1489]

BIRIT means when you hit high notes or BELTING

[@JiJinJung7]

Just watched your reaction to Leah Salonga. If you love her voice, please watch and react to pentatonix Chritmas in our hearts featuring Leah Salonga. The song’s original singer & song writer is Jose Mari Chan from the Philippines. Thank you. ❤

[@throga]

You may notice just a 1 minute clip missing during the last song - we had to trim the video due to copyright in order to prevent this entire reaction video from being blocked globally. In doing so, we lost the 'chat replay' feature as well. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding :)

[@Orientalmonkeybusiness]

Lani is the Multiplex Queen. She recorded songs by Streisand, Alanis, Madonna etc-very close to how they sound-sold in Asia as minus-one cassette tapes throughout karaoke’s infancy.

[@2Chua]

Aww. Thanks for the try and the great program this morning!

[@manfromrome7710]

Next time it would be awesome if you react to Lani, Regine, and Jaya singing Whitney's The Greatest Love of All. They are our original Vocal Trinity -- our answer to Whitney, Mariah, and Celine. They were in their prime when they sang that song together. I am confident you are going to love them.

[@leezabell3796]

Gotta do what you got to do. Lani also had few years of residency in Las Vegas.

[@zarkemulgore2935]

Lani's song "Bukas na lang Mamahalin" is a sad love song. Literal translation > "I will lover you tomorrow" (when our hearts our free).

[@KitaBelle23]

Most of what I love about Philipines singers, is they have never done the pouty lips singing, which is so irritating to watch. They open their mouths and SING! It's just marvelous use of their vocals. I love listening and watching them sing.

[@meredithchandler73]

The Lea Salonga and Rachelle Ann Go duet was from 2014 - 25th anniversary concert of MISS SAIGON. Lea was 43. Lea singing “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” is from around 2001 when she was 30. Lea sang Fantine in the 25th anniversary concert of LES MIZ in 2010 when she was 39. Lea has the distinction of the only performer to play 2 different roles in the LES MIZ anniversary concerts: Eponine in 1995 and Fantine in 2010. Lea may not have the crazy high range of other singers or the riffs, but her voice is so pure, emotive and beautiful. She doesn’t need vocal gymnastics to move you with her singing. I never get tired of listening to Lea or watching reaction videos! NEVER BORING!

[@fy3845]

Lea Solonga is one of the GOATs! She doesn't get enough acknowledgement of her AMAZING voice! (by the way, she's is ARMY and share's her love of the guys!)

[@SvMykolas]

Oh my God! Lea Salonga, the Queen of Broadway, and Morissette! My two favourite singers in one show. They are the only vocalists who move me to tears when I listen to them.

[@antoniopagapular7025]

its Rachelle Ann Go

[@SvMykolas]

@@antoniopagapular7025 I didn't mean the "Movie in my mind" performance but the Filipino Fridays show.

[@Mayjuntong1980]

Stupid comment of yours hahahha

[@IamyourPrincessFiona]

Lani Misalucha made history as the first Asian to headline a main showroom in Las Vegas performing with Hawaii's premiere showband Society of Seven at the Jubilee Theatre of Bally's Hotel and Casino. Her stint at Bally's ran for 15 months from August 7, 2004, to February 5, 2006, after which she and the Society of Seven moved to the Main Showroom of the Flamingo from August 2006 to April 13, 2008. Her performances there solidified her reputation as a world-class entertainer, drawing audiences with her exceptional vocal range and captivating stage presence.

[@arlenepaseornek3003]

So happy to have seen that show w my parents in Vegas! ❤❤❤

[@dgirltalks10]

Yes be patient. You'll get to your 19 thousand or 19 million eventually. You're the highlight of my Fridays already!

[@estelmortel5531]

Me too

[@shannonferguson5095]

4th Impact is just the best girl group in the world IMO. They brought me to this channel. I just subscribed and am looking forward to more reactions of them. Great episode. Thank you!

[@leslieyared2244]

Lea made Richard cry 2x😢❤

[@D-BoyUSA]

Sorry I missed your live stream but not sorry you reacted to 4th Impact. They are my go to girl group for harmonies, belting, growls, whistle notes, and smiles galore. Hope you fall in love with them ! They have been singing together as a group since 2001 so its no wonder that they have this incredible blend of their voices. They are currently in the USA pursuing their dreams and recently released their first EP with 5 original songs. These girls were born for the big stage and their future is bright. I hope you will react to more of their music.

[@ylanym]

I tend to forget how amazing Lani Misalucha is. The voice quality…really!

[@ashfury2817]

OMG LEAH SALONGA MADE YOU CRY

[@MaylynTomada]

That's why she is most loved miss Saigon and won Oscar award...🥰🥰🥰

[@tuting1965]

​​@@sethmoran2443mqybe what he mean is the theme song from Disney movie Alladin "A Whole New World" which won an Oscar

[@ajmartin6790]

@@tuting1965I don't think she won the Oscar's for that song. I believe it was the composer who got the award. The award was for the song, not for the singer.

[@meredithchandler73]

@@ajmartin6790Correct - Oscar for Best Song goes to composer and lyricist. I do believe that the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album goes to the producer, composer, lyricist and principal vocalist(s). Weirdly, I have seen conflicting info about whether Lea has 1 or 2 Grammy nominations for being part of musical theater albums.

[@IamyourPrincessFiona]

December 4 was declared as Lani Misalucha Day in Las Vegas declared by Mayor Goodman to recognize her contribution as the first Asian to headline a main showroom in Las Vegas. Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr. of San Francisco declared August 17.

[@josephinedr]

Why Lea is great...because she relay the story with full emotions in her voice, the small nuances at the right moment plus how her face, her eyes delivers the right amount of reaction.

[@antoniobalentawak2599]

You started the stream strong with Miss Lani. One of the greats in my humble opinion and one of my faves. She's a class act!

[@terrymorris8607]

Great show, amazing artists. 4th Impact brought me here as a subscriber. Thank you. They would be well worth one of your reaction Wednesdays. They recently released their first US recorded mini album and will have their first US concert in Las Vegas on June 21.

[@LopitoBugarin]

You both are infectious, crying begot me crying, too

[@buenaacero4029]

Oh my 4th impact is awesome girls, jaw dropping singing 🤗 by the way the first girl mylene was the one rearrange the song, hoping for more 4th impact

[@mps5960]

Lea Salonga will be back in the UK again this June! We can't wait to see her perform in Cardiff on the 25th! Keep making us proud to be Pinoy, Lea Salonga!

[@uniqueone7611]

You'll sure cry when you watch Lea's "Still Hurting" (Rehearsal) performance.

[@wilfredoaying930]

I watch Lani Misaluca here in Mississauga Ontario Canada. On the Philippines Music and Cultural Festival. She was amazing and she was just coming out of accident with her husband.

[@reignzulu7625]

Asia's Nightingale Ms.Lani Misalucha ❤❤❤

[@jovileewilliams6834]

Lea salonga... is my first ever singer idol looking back to my childhood. I've dreamed to be great like her.. ❤❤❤❤ this is beautiful thank you so much!

[@WillTheRealBishPleaseStandUp]

Love Lea. She was my idol growing up. I hoped to do theatre because of her... Sadly, i'm better suited to belting out in the showers than a stage lol. Lea & Pentatonix sang a christmas song together. I suggest you check that out. Not necessarily for a reaction but just for the pleasure of hearing such fine blending of voices 🥰

[@WillTheRealBishPleaseStandUp]

oh, title's christmas in our hearts

[@meld5542]

I have witnessed Lani Misalucha live singing in one of the restaurants in Manila and her voice is just captivating and very soothing to the ear and heart. I LOVE her voice. So rich and beautiful.

[@BtsyearJK2025]

I love 4th impact they are so good

[@francesc213]

Thank you both! I have been enjoying these RVs so much!

[@ma.kristinanola1631]

Ms Lea's voice is clearer than my future

[@Orientalmonkeybusiness]

Lani-singer’s singer. She had a Vegas stint & once beat Celine et. al. as a the strip’s entertainer of the year or something. ✌🏽

[@manfromrome7710]

She was the critics' choice for best singer in Vegas.

[@konekotenshi5594]

Lani Misalucha! 🥰😍💯💯💯

[@lazybear236]

The bus has been the greatest marketing tool for the Philippines and its singers. Top quality in performance and audio recording

[@terrymorris8607]

That's what I've always thought. Not so much their LA bus. They really messed up the sound on 4th Impact's release of "Distorted". I was surprised they didn't offer a do-over.

[@estelmortel5531]

Lea's brother, Gerard is a musical director & conductor of the Philippines Harmonic Orchestra

[@musicmowi-do9kg]

the lani and morissette no birit challenge is so satisfying and entertaining.. its ridiculous yah you're right thats torture for them 😆 but their soft voice is really eargasm!!🤩😍

[@ja_1983]

Lani started as "Multiplex cassette tape" singer then became the "Asia's Nightingale". She sell-out tickets too at Las Vegas. She can do from bass to whistle. I really like her cover of the OST from the movie "Fifth Element". Check out Lanj, Darren Espanto & Jona's Aces Concert where Darren sang Phantom of the Opera too. Check out Lea Salonga & Brad Kane's A Whole New World impromptu recording from their first meeting then 23 years later.

[@sfidelisg]

Yes. The LEA SALONGA. She really is a great singer and good storyteller. Rachel Ann Go is amazing. When they sang, it still brought tears in my eyes.

[@westerntrend]

Nice intro guys, Ernie and Bert...👍🤣 I've heard Lani Misalucha is called "The Asia's Nightingale" back when she was a lot younger. And you will be surprised to hear a guy could cover that song in a drinking session exactly like how Lani sung. Check it "A guy sing bukas nalang kita mamahalin drinking session"

[@LeonardoSanchez-sj4zi]

This is my 3rd time watching you guys. I both adore Lanie and Lea so much they are two of my favorite singers ever. 😃

[@rhh.808]

Love 4TH IMPACT. In the X-FACTOR UK audition video where they sang "BANG BANG", this was the most viewed video in ANY X-FACTOR shows around the world with over 192M views and still climbing to this day. In the "NEVER ENOUGH" song, this is the best rendition of this song that I've ever heard anyone do. Their names from left to right are: MYLENE (2nd youngest): She's the vocal arranger of the group and can sing the low to high notes. She's also the comedian of the group. Very funny girl. ALMIRA (oldest): She's the leader and belter of the group. She sings the medium to very high notes, including the whistle note. IRENE (2nd oldest): She's the swagger of the group and sings the low to medium notes. At times, she can sing the high notes as well. She's also the choreographer of the group. CELINA (youngest): She's the rapper of the group and can sing the low to high notes. Like her older sister Almira, she can do the whistle note as well.

[@IamyourPrincessFiona]

Lani Misalucha is often referred to as "Asia's Nightingale" for her beautiful voice and musical prowess. In Las Vegas, she is known as the "Siren of the Strip," showcasing her talent and captivating audiences with her performances. The Las Vegas Review Journal has just hailed Lani as Vegas' Best Singer (staff pick) on its 27th Annual Best of Vegas Poll, inevitably putting her name alongside Celine Dion, who was voted as reader's choice

[@vhyl50]

My fave Lanie M, she can also do opera❤❤

[@kimballmiller1634]

4th Impact is the best girl group today they are on tour in the USA now they are in Denver tonight and will be the headliner in las Vegas next weekend.

[@Msb982]

In the Philippines, Regine is the Songbird, Lani is the Nightingale and Jaya is the Queen of Soul

[@manfromrome7710]

And together, they form the Philippines' Vocal Trinity.

[@aleanahsacar4214]

Lani was trained as a soprano. She's also known as minus one singer because early in her career, she sang the songs you sing in minus one tapes/karaoke. She was a headliner in Vegas for years. She and her husband contracted bacterial meningitis and both became deaf in their right ears.

[@cdl6953]

May there be more singers like Lea in the future. It would be so nice if there were many as talented as she is.
