Hoping na magtagal pa ang Southborder. We need Jay Durias in our music industry. They are really good. Their hit songs are classic. True talent. I grew up with their songs and my 9-year old son also likes their songs especially Rainbow 😊. Mabait si Jay. We met him recently in Tagaytay and accommodating po siya sa pagpapicture sa mga fans. More power to Southborder.

[@taylorjones8520]

Sobrang bait nitong si jay! Di man lang nilaglag yung mga bokalista nila!

[@gregking7570]

It's just sad to see this wonderful group disband.

[@crazywhirlwind]

HAHAHAA Jay gives off an intimidating vibe. I bet he was/is a perfectionist... I've been around such personalities and it is scary. In any case he makes beautiful music!

[@Journeyofourlife436]

Ganyan talaga ang magagaling na musician perfectionist.

[@lawreen_chimmy9543]

Xin Gaming true... and of course they see if you are capable of making it better on what you just showed dba.. un angry d nila naintindihan...

[@antman7459]

Koreeeeeeek!👌 Sipra ng mga kanta! Mga areglo at bagsakan kung kakayanin na mas maganda bakit hindi! Puso kc ang MUSIKA! Yun yon!

[@roadschoolerusa9621]

Sobrang gustong-gusto ko boses ni Jay#SouthBorders😍

[@lovelygomez]

THE BEST BAND in the PH for me….

[@LouiseS2024]

Ang bangis talaga ng South Border. So rang gaganda ng mga kanta. Once Nakita ko na Sila sa personal sa fishermall. Sayang wala si Jay soon. Sila Duncan at Vince lang noon. Hinanap ko talaga si Jay Sabi ni Vince may family event daw. Soon ko pa nga Nakita si Ken Chan Kasama din nila. Sa totoo lang, ang bait ni Ken Chan at Duncan. At sobrang na-touch si Vince nung sinabi ko na fave song ko talaga Yung Wherever You Are na sinulat niya MISMO at tinulungan siya ni Jay na i-arrange. GRABE. SOUTH BORDER IS ONE OF THE BESTS OF THE BESTS!!!!! 😍😍😍

[@VETCLYDE]

Pag ako naging vocalist ng South Border forever na ko dyan.. Nding ndi ako aalis, I Love their songs lalong lalo na pag kinakanta ko.. Love them, Love south Border.. IDol

[@vincentmoncerate9575]

Salute sir Jay! Disciplne is always the key to be great.

[@softtouch4492]

sorry, kahit ilan pang singer ang iwan ang south boarder, still, south boarder pa din never mawawala sa music industry at sa buong mundo, we love you jay D. and the band

[@edwarddullas9161]

im still listening to their songs! 2024

[@juliasalazar2617]

Vocalist may come and go but South Border is Jay Durias and no one can put a good man down. Every song he covers feels like new. Kudos Jay! We love you forever❤😊

[@eijiruiz_13]

Musicians tend to have their own world, own rules to produce good music. You cannot blame him for being a little perfectionist. Come to think of it, if hindi sya ganun, will we still have the timeless tracks like kahit kailan, rainbow and ikaw nga?

[@blackcardsqueen9885]

I agree with you.

[@user-zq9qr6ng1g]

agree❤

[@leeroymagalliano3362]

My favorite band ... Yung kanta nila kahit kailan, rainbow,

[@yosef-yosef9414]

mejo ang hirap pala sa Banda, may mga ganyan palang eksena sa musician😌 ang ganda pa naman ng boses ni Jay Duriaz

[@user-vv2pr4ux5u]

Sir Jay, Big Salute❤

[@ma.theresamercado9260]

I rather love the voice of sir #JayDurias ♥️#opmlove ❤️

[@jhen1608]

Salute , Jay!

[@MARC-po2pq]

Magaling talgang director si Durias. Kaya wala silang pangit na kanta

[@martinortillana7605]

mas solid yung south border nung si luke yung vocalist pero salute kay sir jay naging matataga siya kahit papalit palit vocalist nila

[@egontracks7129]

iniidolo ko talaga yung creativity ng music niyo siguro if di kayo nag hiwa-hiwalay marami pa kayong magawang mas maganda pang music na makaka level sa generation ngayon

[@arvinoronce9224]

sir jay.. kelan nyo pO balak mag reunio with brix ferraris? pls sir sna pO mangyari un

[@lawreen_chimmy9543]

It's really good to be strict in order the group have a quorum and order!! As being the head the leader of the band he needs to do that!! That's the attitude of Filipinos.. how will you succeed if you all of you will act irrational! Someone needs to be the leader then when the members got something to say then open it kn the group and settle it intellectually! That's it.. Jay working as a group not for his own good but as 1! I think he can be linient if there's an open forum I guess so.. oh well it's all done anyway good luck to all of them... and for the meantime il be watching & witnessing Vince Alaras this Saturday hehe tho it's no longer the original but for sure they still be playing some of the songs hehe.. ✌✌✌✌

[@PSXBOX-lz1zq]

exactly, mahirap magmanage ng banda lalo na kung yung mga kasama mo ay kulang sa disiplina at malalaki ang ulo. naranasan kong magkaroon ng mga kabanda na matitigas ang ulo at kulang sa professionalism, yung mga tipong laging late sa practice, magbabattle ka laging late na dumarating, yung mga ganun

[@JoHDify]

Southborder would be done without him, he's the heart of the song.. kung wala sya, pangit ang magiging tunog. Singers are just singers, they have no brain unlike lyrical writers.

[@sansrival7102]

Wow ang sakit ng term mo " singers are just singers, they have no brain" kindly rephrase that medyo offensive kasi brod.

[@ijustzeke]

@@sansrival7102 that phrase is a fact. Masakit pero totoo. You'll encounter hundreds or even thousands of amazing and jaw dropping vocalists here in the Philippines. Pero let's be real hindi yan sisikat unless 1. Maganda/Gwapo and 2. marunong gumawa ng sariling music. Unfortunately, sobrang baba na madalas ng standards ng singers dito sa atin na sumisikat in terms of the full package. Magagaling yes. Pero not a musician talaga.

[@PSXBOX-lz1zq]

mahirap magmanage ng banda, lalo na kung ang banda mo, alam mong may mararating.

[@thebigdivapercy9554]

Southborder sa life with Duncan and Vince pinaka winner for me.

[@PinoyBidyo]

Baka meron nag offer na maging superstar sila Brix, Luke at Duncan. Si Luke lang ang medyo nag-karoon ng successful solo career. Anyways why don't they just continue making music but get different solo artists to 'feature' on their songs?

[@MarkTianzTVmusic]

Best version of southborder tlga yung dumating sila vince at duncan

[@zerogabz1153]

May isang sobrang sikat na drummer dito sa pinas ang nagsabi na parang may problem si Sir Jay. Hindi ko sure kung attitude problem ba yung minemean nya or about sa music.

[@levygilos9029]

Dami siguro binawal nya sa lead singer nya kaya iniiwan sya. Baka malakas sya maka pressure sa mga lead singer niya.

[@campoxanto]

Jay, sa totoo lang. South Border will be so much better if you just do the singing. At least di na magmumukhang showband ang South Border. Anyway, ikaw nagsusulat, mas alam mo ang kanta. Kaya di makuhakuha ng mga bokalista mo ang ibig mong sabihon dahil sayo yung songs. It's you who really deserves to front South Border. Besides the band and the fans have matured already. Time for South Border to get active again. Go Jay, I believe in you,

[@alvintorres5428]

campoxanto i agree

[@alvintorres5428]

campoxanto i agree

[@shadapakap]

Jay has a good voice but doesn't have the range. That's why he needs a vocalist who could reach those high falsetto notes.

[@jasperjimenez8591]

miss ko.southboarder naalala nyo ba ka alternate namin kayo sa laguna kami yong wallstreetband mga pinagsamahan natin

[@isabelitariegodedios3353]

Hi Jay I miss you ,kailan kayo ulit pupunta ng New Jersey.

[@ma.theresamercado9260]

Can you all answer me who's the drummer of southborder??

[@showbiz_chikaupdates]

Joseph concepcion

[@forestlink6673]

Halos pareha boses mga kinukuha ni jay,

[@christianjosephgutib868]

1:28 Hindi si Duncan ung nakasama sa bilog.. si Bagets un, Drummer! LOL

[@pamelasusanna7461]

Na-set up s'ya sa businessman na 'yon, kaya ingat sa mga business dealings sa kahit sino.

[@Zaldy_Omana]

parang bandang journey na rin ito.

[@boypula]

sir jay ako na lang promise di kita pababayaan kahit kailan hahaha! pero seryoso ako na lang kaya ko kantahin mga kanta nila and kaya ko ung boses ng mga lead nila falsetto specialty ko un.

[@ladyagwanta3084]

Sampol sampol sampol!

[@MrBenedick14]

Last pag asa ng south border si duncan.. Yun na yung pinaka last downfall nila nung umalis si duncan ...

[@ricardom.villafana7897]

Kaya umalis si brix dahil may nagbanta sa buhay nya noong nagkaron sya ng issue kay amy perez. Which is totoo naman na nabugbog nya si amy. Ang mali lang kamaganak ba o ninang ni amy perez si cory aquino kaya nung nalaman ni cory yung balita pinagbantaan nya si brix at sinabihan na magpakalayo layo nalang. Yung tungkol naman na issue about kay jay na may attitude problem sya sa mga kabanda nya lalo na sa vocalist, dahil alam naman natin na highlights ang vocal(brix) kesa sa second voice(jay). Sorry sa ilan, sobrang idol ko lang talaga sila noong araw na anjan pa si brix kaya naghalungkat ako kung bakit sila nagkawatak-watak.😁

[@MarkTianzTVmusic]

Si vince alarias tlga naging tunog nang southborder dati eh..yung pag naririnig mu na boses.nya alam mo na.na southborder yung grupo na kumakanta

[@thebigdivapercy9554]

Jay.. ikaw na. I don't know what's up pero matatag ka. Infairness. Pero baka may opportunities din c Jay no? Kasi ang dami nagsialisan eh. Parang xa ang issue. Pero Infairness Kai Jay matibay haha

[@lovehater2025]

Ay grave.. sayang ang banda

[@Crayon80]

Si Jay Durias Ang Mukha Nga SouthBorder ..pero Yung Boses na hinahanap Ng Mga Fans ay Kai Brex Ferraris pa rin Original Vocalist Ng South Border...Pinagsamang Jay Durias ...Luke Mejares at Duncan Ramos ..pero angat parin Si Brex Ferraris...

[@ladyagwanta3084]

Balik ka na Luke

[@JGSMusic]

Somebody tell me what they are saying?? I'm american and I grew up listening to their music. I want to know why they never stay together as well.. Sheesh. At least put subtitles

[@ladyartemis3232]

To make it short, the lead vocalists can't handle the pressure so they left. And a lot of comments saying jay durias is a perfectionist.

[@brandonoliverio3970]

Normal ka kasi mag isip😊

[@ricardoremolar1376]

Ngayon wala eee ano pa mag bago ka para lahat ng idol namin ng south hindi madamay znimzl

[@andipark9025]

Tingin ko ang taas ng standard ni jay durias na kahit na magaling na singer kana ma i-stress at intimidate ka eh, strick sya.

[@ramonlastrollo6161]

Ang bali-balita noon ay gusto kasi lagi ni Jay na may papel xa,kumbaga insecurity,alam nman natin na sa banda ay vocalists ang pinaka highlights parang gusto nya ay sa kanya din ang highlights lagi..yun ang balita.

[@moonpie4208]

siya po kasi ang founder

May attitude kasi yan si Jay Durias kaya walang natagal sa Southborder, yun na lang taga ayos nya ng keyboard na matandang lalake na long hair bago siya kumanta grabe din attidude kaya nilalayasan sila ng mga naging bokalista niya.

[@retsain]

wala talagang vocalista na magtagal kasi ..pag kumanta na c jay. nang dalawang kanta sunod2x yung main vocalist nila .back up voice nlng. .subukan nyu kayang tumayo nang 5 to 6 mins .. tapos back up voice kalang. anung maiisip nyuh. hahaha .

[@MrBenedick14]

rets ain nag give way c jay... Yung dalawa talaga yung kumakanta, lalo na si duncan,. Si jay yung back up kanilang dalawa, .. Example yung love of my life ibinigay niya yung part kay duncan,... Kumbaga c jay lng yung mukha ng banda.. May cd pa nga ako, ng southborder.. Hinde backup yung dalawang lead singer ng south border, maraming kanta nag give way si jay...
