I'd have to say that Jaya is such a risk-taker who very few people acknowledge...we always applaude the biriteras, the unique, the visually appealing... but JAYA.. oh pls, dnt even let me start.. she bends melodies and make a song into something else.. a different storytelling.. a risk coz not many people speak the "same (musical) language" as she does.. she digs into the words in a song, quickly finds the fitting notes for them, and sing the way no one else would, but containing a richer sound... and that makes her an untouchable diva.. nobody bends a song like Jaya does.. just as nobody reginifies a song like Regine does... underrated...so much.. hail your musicality, Jaya!!!!
She is not underrated...the music industry also acknowledged her contribution that's why she was labeled the Queen of Soul...maybe she was not in a good management before unlike today she was treated fair and gave her more projects...
ganito yung concert na you'll just choose not to sing with it kasi they're literally slaying every note they sing. GRABEEEE STANDING OVATION FOR THE ASIA'S QUEEN OF SOUL JAYA!!!!!!
I can really feel that she will sing her "song" again 😍 she owns through the fire here in the PH 😍 she will definitely kill it like the waau she does it since 1996 😍
Happy that she's becoming busy and appears to be honing her craft again... Kudos to Abs for recognizing her talent and utilizing it fully...Will defo watch her future shows!
Super hirap kantahin kaya nito! Huuuu! Iba talaga galing ni Miss Jaya so overwhelmed. Ganda! Galing! One of those jazz classics from my youth! Sarap magreminisce. Thanks!
Better Days Dianne Reeves Silver gray hair neatly combed in place. There were four generations of love on her face. She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes, She'd seen it all. I was a child, oh, about three or four. All day I'd ask questions. At night I'd ask more. But whenever; she never, would ever, turn me away. I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong ? And why does what I want always take so long ? Please tell me where does God live And why won't He talk to me ? I'd say, Grandma what is love ? Will I ever find out ? Why are we so poor, what is life about ? I want to know the answers before I fall off to sleep. She sort of smiled as she tucked me in. Then she pulled up that old rockin' chair once again. But tonight she was slightly, remarkably Different somehow Slowly she rocked, lookin' half asleep. Grandma yawned as she stretched. Then she started to speak. What she told me, would mold me, and hold me Together inside. She said all the things you ask You will know someday. But you have got to live in a patient way. God put us here by fate And by fate that means better days. She said, child we are all moons in the dark of night. Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right. Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night. You gotta make it through the night, yes you do. You can't get to no better days Unless you make it through the night. Oh, you will see those better days But you gotta be patient. (Be patient) oh baby, be patient. Later that year, at the turn of spring, Heaven sent angels down and gave Grandma her wings. Now, she's flying, and sliding, and gliding In better days And although I'm all grown up I still get confused. I stumble through the dark Getting bumped and bruised. When night gets in my way I could still hear my Grandma say I can hear her say, I can hear her say. You can't get to no better days Unless you make it through the night baby. (Be patient) Oh, you will see those better days But you gotta be patient. Child, do you hear me, yeah. You can't get to no better days Unless you make it, you got to make it You got to make it You got to make it through the night Oh Grandma, oh Grandma Do you see me now, lady Oh oh oh oh oh She used to sit me on her knee She used to comb my hair She used to tell me stories My Grandma took me everywhere
I must commend the band for such a wonderful arrangement. This song is one of the hardest-too technical both to play and sing...and to Jaya, she definitely owned the song and put a different flavor. Only an exceptional-talented singer can give justice to this timeless-difficult piece. Well done, Jaya and team!
I agree, i used to sing this during those younger years, pero nag wewelga mga kapit bahay namin, pati mga tanod, hina hunting ako... wag kona daw uulitin..... hahahahahaha...... mga walang hiya..di man lang na appreciate, pinag ensayuhan ko ng matagal, tapos ganun-ganun lang kung magbigay sila ng verdict... 😫😤
Jaya always gives me chills whenever she sings. Not only does she sing her heart out each time she steps on the stage but also her soulful rendition always brings in so much flavours and emotions. I love her gutsy attitude and her incredible singing prowess. Girl you rock!!! Love you so much 😍 God bless!!!
Let’s give a big applause for Jaya, you know what Jaya? you are one of the best international singers. Iba ang tinig o yung tune ng boses mo, magandang pakinggan. Manipis at matinig ang boses mo, sana pag uwi ng anak ko dyan sa Pilipinas maka duet mo sana siya, kasi nag aral din siya ng voice lesson at paminsan minsan nagpe perform. First visit of Pres. Duterte in Brunei , my daughter was chosen to perform. Again, I’m one of your big fans.
One of the hardest songs, but she gave the unique rendition of it. Her distinctive techniques were sung well and the breaking of notes were effortlessly reached. Truly MAHUSAY!!😍😄
talk about making a song your own!!! jaya definitely owned that! bravo!!! when she swayed back and forth a bit, she reminded me of her mother, elizabeth ramsey, who was also a quintessential performer.
@@jusperlangcuyan2462 gma/sop gave her exposure.. we all know it went over. Now, Abs/cornerstone is giving her another strike hence her second chance. I never said she wasted something.
2021's about to end and still no one else comes close to this performance. perfect way of singing while storytelling, ... the way it's always been for this song. Kudos Queen of Soul.
'BETTER DAYS" is one of the most difficult songs to sing, and few artists dare to perform it. Jaya nailed her own version at a lower key and slower version, but I admire her unique vocal calisthenics.
I dont think anyone can do this much like what Jaya did. Jaya is so different from other singers. Very distinct, at grabe, she can interpret the song on her own perfectly with her own rendition.
@@chalkvlogs5754 oo, never talaga siyang mawawalan ng shows at career, pero i kinda think, may mas deserve pa siya na dapt niyang makuha 😄 Soon it will happen, God is managing her career 💕 It will never fail 😄
She became very famous in 1995 up to early 2000 with platinum hits, concerts here and there. Puro songs nya tinutugtog sa radios dati. Para ngang nasapawan nya sina Regine at Pops that time. I guess nagsawa na din ang tao sa music nya. But Jaya remains the Asia's Queen of Soul.
@@marcgesmundo5611 oo, i remember, high school ako noon. Kahit san magpunta, may Jaya s radyo, nag labas siya ng album after album after album with 9x and 8x platinum hits. Concert in Araneta of Live album and Show here there, everywhere. Talagang sa year 1995-early 2000, it was really Jaya's year. Mga songs rin kasi ni Jaya, tatatak talaga. Pero after nun, hindi na siya nakapag produce ng albums ulit, puro cover nlng nung nasa gma siya, kaya ayun, hindi na siya masyadong kilala ng millenials. Pero, she remained still the undisputed Queen of soul 😍 Not to mention that she was very popular in the states before becausw of her song that charted in billboard, she had tours with brianMcNight, and some of these singers now, pero then after 4 in US, she quited because she already think she had enough. Pero wala e, singer talaga ang plilano ni god kay Jaya 😍 She will release an album soooooon. She will have another hit songs soooon 😍
@@christianjayyu9714 but most of star singers ay parang iniwang nakahang after tanggalin ang SOP. Kaya they have to find ways to survive fortunately better ground na sia ngaun -her better days lol
Christian Jay Yu i agree! I get so sick when people says “buti lumipat sya” like akala mo naman tinatrato sya dun na same treatment na natatanggap nya sa GMA. To be honest, wala na akong balita sa mga singers na galing GMA na lumipat sa ABSCBN.
My God walang pagbabago ang boses.. napaka ganda.. dumadagungdong.. buong buo.. napakjnggan ko sya sa araneta at super napa Wow ako kasi kulang na lang matangaal puso ko sa laki ng boses😂😂😂.. Superb👌👌👌
Isa to sa favorite ko si jaya napakalinis kumanta at hindi pa talaga nagbabago ang boses napakaganda talaga ng boses niya at ang perfect talaga kumanta

this is true.
shapeshifter008 yes 👌🏻
Agree!!!
She is not underrated...the music industry also acknowledged her contribution that's why she was labeled the Queen of Soul...maybe she was not in a good management before unlike today she was treated fair and gave her more projects...
Indeed
ganito yung concert na you'll just choose not to sing with it kasi they're literally slaying every note they sing. GRABEEEE STANDING OVATION FOR THE ASIA'S QUEEN OF SOUL JAYA!!!!!!
If u want a classy unique voice.. Then jaya is is your kind of singer... I want to see her singing through the fire
I can really feel that she will sing her "song" again 😍 she owns through the fire here in the PH 😍 she will definitely kill it like the waau she does it since 1996 😍
The quality and the texture ng boses ay iba talaga! Hindi cheap pakingan.
Hhahahahaa nailed it
💕
This was the perfect song for her! Her voice is strong and powerful, the first verse she was just playing with, but she didn't disappoint after that!
Try visit gigis version maam hehe...
Happy that she's becoming busy and appears to be honing her craft again... Kudos to Abs for recognizing her talent and utilizing it fully...Will defo watch her future shows!
Yes, she is becoming so busy today 😍 thankyiu for cornerstone for managing jaya well, and thankyou for God 😍
Wow. Give it up for Asias Queen of Soul, JAYA!!
Matagal ko na alam to pero ngayon ko lang naintindihan tong kantang to. Galing ni Jaya. Parang nagkukwento lang. Hats off!
MCJ Create hindi mo kasi iniintindi ng maayos✌paano nalang kung hindi kinanta ni Ms. Jaya, edi hindi mo na naintindihan hahahhahaa

Better Days
Dianne Reeves
Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
There were four generations of love on her face.
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes,
She'd seen it all.
I was a child, oh, about three or four.
All day I'd ask questions.
At night I'd ask more.
But whenever; she never, would ever, turn me away.
I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong ?
And why does what I want always take so long ?
Please tell me where does God live
And why won't He talk to me ?
I'd say, Grandma what is love ?
Will I ever find out ?
Why are we so poor, what is life about ?
I want to know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
She sort of smiled as she tucked me in.
Then she pulled up that old rockin' chair once again.
But tonight she was slightly, remarkably
Different somehow
Slowly she rocked, lookin' half asleep.
Grandma yawned as she stretched.
Then she started to speak.
What she told me, would mold me, and hold me
Together inside.
She said all the things you ask
You will know someday.
But you have got to live in a patient way.
God put us here by fate
And by fate that means better days.
She said, child we are all moons in the dark of night.
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
You can't get to no better days
Unless you make it through the night.
Oh, you will see those better days
But you gotta be patient.
(Be patient) oh baby, be patient.
Later that year, at the turn of spring,
Heaven sent angels down and gave Grandma her wings.
Now, she's flying, and sliding, and gliding
In better days
And although I'm all grown up
I still get confused.
I stumble through the dark
Getting bumped and bruised.
When night gets in my way
I could still hear my Grandma say
I can hear her say,
I can hear her say.
You can't get to no better days
Unless you make it through the night baby.
(Be patient) Oh, you will see those better days
But you gotta be patient.
Child, do you hear me, yeah.
You can't get to no better days
Unless you make it, you got to make it
You got to make it
You got to make it through the night
Oh Grandma, oh Grandma
Do you see me now, lady
Oh oh oh oh oh
She used to sit me on her knee
She used to comb my hair
She used to tell me stories
My Grandma took me everywhere
She is one of the few that I will pay to see. Only Jaya and her awesome music.
I must commend the band for such a wonderful arrangement. This song is one of the hardest-too technical both to play and sing...and to Jaya, she definitely owned the song and put a different flavor.

agree bruh
@@divaslive6953 keep on singing, don't stop rehearsing until you get it right. You'll get there!
Agree. The band/arranger did a great revamping.
Jaya always gives me chills whenever she sings. Not only does she sing her heart out each time she steps on the stage but also her soulful rendition always brings in so much flavours and emotions. I love her gutsy attitude and her incredible singing prowess. Girl you rock!!! Love you so much 😍 God bless!!!
Talent of Jaya should not be ignored. She should be one ofthe superstars nowadays...
One of my biggest dreams is to witness her perform live!
Same here
This lady has a gift!!! She deserves more spotlight!!! I hope to hear more of her sound.
Jaya nailed and owned the song, magaling tlga ang Opm's Queen of Soul...
Basta mga song ng international soul singer like aretha, anuta baker, chaka khan, patti labelle... Mga songs nila si Jaya ang may ari sa pilipinas 😍
Now, that‘s what you call singer....bravo!!! Excellent rendition.
Oh hail to the Queen of Soul, Jaya is one of the most underrated singer, oh come on guys!!! She does many difficulties in a song ...
Grabe goosebumps jaya! Pag jaya tlga kumanta hindi pwedeng hindi ka mapapakanta at hindi ka tlga bibitaw sakanya sa panonood sobrang galing!
A singer of this calibré PH’s sole queen of soul❣️
i love Jaya, everytime she sings oh my… ., she truly deserves the "Queen of Soul Diva" title indeed !!! superb! bravo! galing galing 👍👏👏👏️💗
I remembered when she sang it sa Party Pilipinas and she couldn't finish the song because of so muvh emotions.
Just wow! Still one of the best! Queen of soul
Parang international yung boses at style nya. Basta iwan.
the undisputed Queen of Soul - Jaya thanks for uploading
idol ko tlaga yan si jaya lalo na sa mga technique nya ...galing napaka control lahat very wise
Jesam Bulactin Qt

Cute mo
@@kylevilla6917 thanks
Shet, sobrang galing sana one day maka experience din aq ng concern nya.. love you po ms. Jaya
She deserves another solo concert! Truly, the Queen of Soul! Salute to Ms. Jaya!
Laki at mabigat boses nya...sinira at winasak nya ang original song pumangit.
OMG! She was brilliant with Better Days.
That's what we call SOUL!!!!
The song was revived with new spice kaya tlgang magugustuhan ng makakarinig nito!
Difficulty at its finest but Miss Jaya SLAYED it beytch .. She just slaughtered the song and ate it alive ..
Hahaha TRUE!
Perfect and I love it... Ganda sobra!
Let’s give a big applause for Jaya, you know what Jaya? you are one of the best international singers. Iba ang tinig o yung tune ng boses mo, magandang pakinggan. Manipis at matinig ang boses mo, sana pag uwi ng anak ko dyan sa Pilipinas maka duet mo sana siya, kasi nag aral din siya ng voice lesson at paminsan minsan nagpe perform. First visit of Pres. Duterte in Brunei , my daughter was chosen to perform. Again, I’m one of your big fans.
Jaya is one of the best Pinay singers in the world. Great talent!
I love it... basta nahugit talaga ni jaya ang confidence niya...iba talaga.. yehey..jaya!!
That kind of voice partner with glass of wine. Bam!!!! Relaxing!!!!
Ang swerte ng nakapanood ng live... Worth it ang pera. So envious. Ang galing ni Jaya oh..
One of the hardest songs, but she gave the unique rendition of it. Her distinctive techniques were sung well and the breaking of notes were effortlessly reached. Truly MAHUSAY!!😍😄
This kind of voice will surely be preserved until her 70s just like Gladys Knight!
Hindi ko na mabilang paulit ulit ko pinapanood ito sobrang galing ksi ni jaya eh!
GOBLESS YOU MAAM JAYA!I LOVE YOU PO WITH THE LOVE OF GOD!😇😇😇😊😊😊😊
Elementary time ko idol na talaga Kita miss jaya. Hanggang ngayon Wala ka pa ding kupas.
NOW THAT'S OUR ASIA'S QUEEN OF SOUL 😍
Year 2020! Still love to listen of Jaya's voice! Sobrang galing ❤❤❤
talk about making a song your own!!! jaya definitely owned that! bravo!!! when she swayed back and forth a bit, she reminded me of her mother, elizabeth ramsey, who was also a quintessential performer.
Omg! Jaya i love you forvever more! Nag iisa ka jaya halimaw ka!!! Asias QUEEN OF SOUL.

Woaah first note palang goosebumps agad
Very soulful voice. Love it 😍😍
Ganda ng quality ng video! Sakto sa quality ng performance ni Ms. JAYA! ❤️❤️❤️
She proved that she deserves the second chances she's getting now.
Jade Pangan not a second chance, just another chance. She doesn't waste any chances before.
@@jusperlangcuyan2462 gma/sop gave her exposure.. we all know it went over. Now, Abs/cornerstone is giving her another strike hence her second chance. I never said she wasted something.
@@mistressjadeness That's the meaning of 'second chance' ; to try something again after failing one time.
@Jade Pangan :) Agree!
anong failing one time? jaya na siya bago pa mag dos. bago pa mag pinas.
A great singer indeed 👍 I’m a proud fan 😀
halimaw.. i love u miss Jaya.. you are a QUEEN!!!!
Isusubong kita kay berna abugbog ka nya sobrang galing ng voice control napa PI ako sa galing my god your truly th asias queen of soul!

No one can pull this song off except for the The Queen J.
danieltothestars Mau Marcelo 😛😛
Beautiful arrangement + Jaya's brilliance. Awesome!
Wooh !!make noise for the Asias Queen of Soul .👏👏👏
Jaya is really a soul singer. Jazz and blues is very suitable for her! she is in the likes of arethra, etta james, jennifer, etc.
'BETTER DAYS" is one of the most difficult songs to sing, and few artists dare to perform it. Jaya nailed her own version at a lower key and slower version, but I admire her unique vocal calisthenics.
Asia's queen of soul Jaya👸👸👑👑
Better days masterpiece ni ms. Jaya talaga
Dami na sigurong version na nagawa ang Better days
Sop days palang pyesa nya na to till now..
ewan ko lang talaga kong bakit madaming hindi nagagalingan sa kanya... i love you Ate Jaya...😍😍😍
