Martin Nievera is the Concert King in the Philippines 🇵🇭..

[@bywydpia]

I just realized that Filipino music arrangers make the best medleys with the best transitions.

[@One.Zero.One101]

I never really appreciated that when I was a kid. I'm glad I have enough knowledge now to appreciate it.

[@pawrangers1446]

Martin Nievera is the only male singer who can level Regine's powerful voice. I tell you Regine's voice can break a glass live, legit. 😅

[@lemmewhoopyourass.6975]

Yes! it is just sad that martin is getting older now and Regine can easily overpower him.

[@lordakuma4967]

Really? My wife can break glasses without even uttering a word! They usually fly towards me. 😖

[@Jeffheart11]

You are cOrrect!

[@mrnobody1602]

Actually, Martin said that it's difficult to catch up with Regine in a duet because aside from her powerful voice, Regine does long phrasing that a male singer needs to match. I get the feeling that his mic in this performance is adjusted in volume.

[@arctixilva1620]

Agreed. Although Martin admits to struggle keeping up even with Regine's volume. Greatest duet IMO

[@farflungmuncher3307]

When you thought no one can sing with Regine knowing her unbelievable range. And there’s Martin Nievera!!

[@atinjhen]

im 45yo and I can say Sir Martin Nievera is still unreplaceable, his vocal quality is one in a millions... and he's a great composer too, he should be a national artists.

[@shobe071592]

Heck! Martin Nievera's voice when you hear it live sounds EXACTLY like it's the recorded version. It feels so surreal to hear them both sing live. Totally different from other singers. You can definitely feel their aura.

[@celestevelasco]

I remember in one of Regine's interviews about this concert, that the hardest performance is this broadway medley. She even joked about maybe their musical director thought they're not human with this arrangment but it was really hard 😂. Their musical director is Gerald Salonga who happens to be Lea Salonga"s brother. this concert is really so classy and a masterpiece for me. I wish i could've seen it live.

[@celestevelasco]

@@garouknight yup Gerard. Thanks for the correctionb👍😊

FACT: This was performed February 2003 and still gives us goosebumps!!!! There are a lot of great performances between these two Philippine musical giants and this is one of their bests and maybe the best ever 💖 a lot of us still wonder if they can still do a repeat performance for this medley.

[@pinay-americanlife1443]

I watched that video of Martin and Regine many times. Awesome.

[@mindyu2146]

That’s why it’s so hard for Filipinos to be impress with singers for we’ve grown up with wonderful songs and singers particularly our kundiman hopefully our young generation will lift up all this enchanting music

[@ilol5039]

only applies to people from the 90's and below.. those people born in the 2000's are kpop lovers that even the worst song would be impressed.. 😂

[@Jha0601]

@@ilol5039 I'm an 80's kid who grew up loving 90's songs and continually loved music to this day including kpop songs. Tho I don't also get blind adulation of some kpop fans to their fav idols even with subpar songs/performances, there are great songs and talents in kpop too, same with american pop, same with opm and songs/singers from other countries.

[@sonnypulido9332]

This performance was part of Martin and Regines 2003 World Tour Concert Series. That's why the medley is so well crafted and arranged. At this time they were at the height of their vocal prowess and could sell out an entire venue in a snap.

[@jicellemaikaaquino7319]

Martin Nievera is the concert king of the Philippines! Watch his solo Broadway medley also

[@celestevelasco]

This duet and Regine's Sometime Somewhere performances are two of my most favorite Regine performance of all time. So classy, so beautiful without overdoing the belts and runs. Simply potrayed a classic story telling thru singing.

[@PabLuna5714]

Yes.. i heard Ms Lea Salonga said herself "Regine is a freak of nature" 😁😂

[@she_low]

In the voice when they comlimented the boy that has been hitting high notes.

[@mario4301]

Martin nievera is gary V's contemporary....during their younger days they used to duet a lot on either one's comcert. Martin is a teriffic tv host as well.

[@manfromrome7710]

Very few male singers can keep up with Regine's vocals..Martin is most definitely among them..

[@sheilaagt4528]

Martin Nievera walked KZ Tandingan down the aisle when KZ & TJ got married.

[@xyofficial8381]

Yeah because Martin Nievera is KZ’s Showbiz Dad ❤️

[@travelvan68]

Martin did a residency in Las Vegas, just like Celine and Britney.

[@davidmaguigad9425]

Martin and Gary are considered 1 and 2 of best guy singers of their generation

[@darzz587]

The best tandem ever... music giants Asias Songbird and Concert King. This is the best Concert Ever

[@whatspoppin1324]

Martin is the father of Robin, one of the DJs of the wishbus and the one who played the guitar for Kiana V when she sang in the bus

Oh, I love this concert from Ms. Regine and Martin. The PH President and other big personalities even attended this.

[@pinsantiago6218]

From what I’ve read, Regine wasn’t actually feeling so well during this concert and she was rushed to the hospital after. Hopefully you’ll get to react to their performance of “Forever” and “on the wings of love” from the same concert. Anyways, very nice and informative reaction. Love it ❤️

[@camalusman7635]

I second the motion 😊🤗❤️

[@ryerye3406]

Yes please

[@kelsan5633]

Shut up that not feeling well...u sound ignorant

[@michaelryan888]

I WAS HERE LIVE!!!! I was only 8 years old then and it was the first concert I attended, but everything was so vivid to me. I can literally feel the arena's vibration when Regine belts. This 2-night concert was so big that even the Philippine's President attended it with her (I think) 30+ escorts. FACTS: 1. Did they act together? YES ---- in fact, they have a mini skit in this concert shown in-betweens where they TORRIDLY KISSED 🤣🤣🤣 They even spoke in a different language and dubbed it in Tagalog to make it look like a Telenovela (Spanish dubbed in Tagalog) 2. 10 years after this, Martin admitted in an interview that he and a crush on Regine during these times 3. Martin, the PH Concert King, already had a big name when Regine was starting and he and his ex-wife gave her more exposure, even suggested Chona (Reg's nickname) should use the name "Regine". 4. During the concert, Martin's mic was set to maximum volume, while Regine's mic was set to half so that Martin cannot be overly powered by Regine's voice easily. Regine even had migraine attacks during these numbers, so bad that she was rushed to the hospital after the event. 5. Up to this day, in spite of their 30 years of friendship and contributing huge histories in each other's career, Martin is still surprised by Regine's capabilities, often claiming her his favorite singer of all time.

[@OnePunchJam]

Martin has a song that Frank Sinatra liked and covered it titled "Be My Lady". Martin used to perform in the USA when he was younger

[@dluckygurl8]

Was it Frank Sinatra or Matt Monro?

They're really the vocal genius of the Philippines, btw Regine was hospitalized after the concert because of extreme migraine.

[@gerc.4263]

Martin Nievera is Gary V's arch-rival especially in the 80's -90's era ! He's a well-known master Balladeer & the Concert King ! We all know Pinoys are Lovers of Romantic Love Songs or Ballads..He's almost 40 years in the music industry..so it's understandable this guy scored more hit singles/ albums than any other Filipino Male artists in his generation. He has countless hits like 'Be My Lady' , 'Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin', 'You Are My Song", 'Kahit Isang Saglit' , 'Ikaw Ang Pangarap', 'Each Day with You' , 'No Way To Treat A Heart' , 'Promise of Love' and many more.. .

[@ldluna]

Mesmerizes and blows me away every time. Martin has such a golden voice. As matinee idols of the 80s, Gary & Martin were pitted against each other in every facet of performance: music, tv, movies so it's really perfect that they ended up as the best of friends. You should check their powerhouse tandem concert "As 1" where they sing each other's songs... check iTunes, there's an album born out of this brilliant world tour. Gary has these throwback gems in his YT channel. Martin also has Wishbus perfs of his iconic songs. His best doesn't have nearly the views it deserves: Ikaw Lang ang Mamahalin.

[@jay-arcorpuzstudio2524]

Congratulations Waleska and Efra! You always have on point observations and opinions. I agree that muscle memory is very important in singing. That is actually one of Regine's techniques especially she's been singing throughout her life, and it really helped her to maintain her vocal prowess until now that she's 50 with acid reflux. She's such a living legend, and also to Martin. Queen and King 🤴 👸.

[@darzz587]

Theres many singers that can belt better than regine. But, theres this some sort of magical enchanting thing with regines styles of belt. Theres emotions the feeling. Best Story Teller.. and you cant help but to crave for more of regine... she sounds much much much better live... i tell you she can blow you away literally. Shes indeed the best live singer... should watch her live...

[@jocadnos9975]

Martin's always a playful, funny and so entertaining performer.

[@quiddy]

Yes. Martin and Regine are very close together. Factoid: it was Martin who coined the name Regine when she was starting out. Her original name was Chona Velasquez (short for Regina Encarnacion Velasquez) but her manager thought Chona sounded provincial and campy. So Martin, who guested her at his late night talk show Martin Penthouse, suggested Regine. Theyve toured and done shows together. She's also really close to his ex wife Pops Fernandez who actually asked her hubby to go out on a limb and have Regine as a guest despite being new to the industry. So in a way Regine owes her success to Martin snd Pops which she never forgets to recognize.

Love the spontaneity of Waleska and the humor of Efra ha ha ha. Definitely these 2 are our precious gems in the Philippine music industry - they can give you eargasm with every genre they sing. But on top of that, we need to recognize and acknowledge the genius behind this musical arrangement and scoring - the musical director Gerard Salonga (younger brother of Lea Salonga). He arranges insane musicals and songs that only the best vocals can deliver. Thank you for your reactions, love watching you! Much love from Dubai!
