I dont know but MAngel seem and looks intimidated by Katrina's performance. It's pretty clear that she's in awe after watching the video. Her reaction cannot deny that she was stunned and blown away.
Gabriel Mendoza I dont think M-Angel said she didnt like it in general. She just mentioned that the performance didnt touch her emotionally but that doesnt mean that it was a bad performance.
Would of her opinion be different if she was just listening to the song without the video? Watching someone singing and feeling is SUBJECTIVE. M-Angel is known insecure because she sounds like a frog. She should have given her objective opinion about the notes or pitch but knowing her. hahaha
We are all entitled of our own opinion (objective or not). M-Angel is no different. For her the performance was amazing but ket us not forget the fact that there are extravagant performances that dont leave marks in our senses. There are also performances which are simple but do touch our hearts. Maybe for M-Angel this was a good performance but not good enough to move her. As simple as that. we do not need to compare people to animals here pls.
M-angel thanks for being real.. that's one of the reasons why i watch your videos.. both of you are not fake reactors. Thank you for appreciating Filipino talents..
yea you are right Ovela! We love ballads! You really analyzed Filipinos very well! we be like ' Can she/he do it? Let's see' also because those kinda songs are for singing contests and it's a thing here.
as always i love your reaction ovela.. thank you for appreciating filipino talents. mostly filipina singers love to BELT and chose difficult songs. mabuhay from the philippines
It's a clean and very unique version that only few people can do...Every singers in the Philippines can sing songs that you guys wanted but on her rendition, she proved something that not every singer can do.
it was actually REGINE VELASQUEZ who started all this belting more than 30 years ago,that is why she is the queen and that version is Regine velasquez version.
Both of you are really loved by Filipinos Ovela and M-Angel. You are already a celebrity here in the Philippines, we appreciate your honesty and love to our Pinoy talents. We hope you will be given the chance to visit our country. God bless you both.
love you guys. and I like that you are honest with your comments and opinions. Out of so many reaction you tubers, you guys are the ones I always come back to.
HI guys, thanks for reacting to Katrina. She is one of the most underrated singers in PH. She's been joining singing contests since she was very young. She's signed w/ a label but we hardly hear anything from her. Most of her videos on YT are recorded from her bedroom where she uses a comb as her mic, so she is known as Suklay (Comb) Diva. I'm just happy that for the 1st time, we finally have a decent video of her singing, thanks to Wish 1075. I'm really thankful for Wish because theses singers that perform on this bus, most of them are quite unknown.
Ovela made good pt about how pinoys love belting and thats most of what pinoys cheer for during karaoke time. (you are starting to understand pinoy culture man). M-Angel comments maybe coming from the fact that this version was the regine velasquez' version (unknowingly Katrina was proving she can live up to regine's standards) and the way it was perform from the beginning requires build up coming from a regine velasquez' mellow tone... and Katrina's low/mellows may come as "thin" not reaching a "singers" fancy.
Lisandro Castolome another thought is that, filipino's likes the belting part because filipinos areborn singers, but not all can belt.so we admire those that can.
Im from Philippines, but first time i heard about Katrina and i was blown away with her angelic and powerful voice.. Her performance was exceptionally good and soothing to the ears...You are right about us Filipino belting out songs.. We typically call it "birit".. but good observation.
You should notice that this is Regine Velasquez's version. This is actually how the musicians arrange the music here (even for covers), from low notes then starting to build up til they belt out.
Katrina's vocal arrangement for this song got me high but then watching your guys' reaction and thoughts got me addicted. I can't believe you guys made me a junky!!! It's worth my intervention and rehab later on. I need my MGN Fix damn it!!!
you are absolutely correct my love Ovela. belting is often anticipated in Pinoy performances. it gives the excitement and it showcases the singing prowess of the performer. well, Regine had set the benchmark for that here in the Philippines.
capturing audience's emotions is the goal of all singers here in the Philippines since we fail bigtime to create pop music. it's not always the vocals they focus
"It would be nice if he take more liberties near the end" - M-Angel to Sam Mangubat's "All or Nothing" cover. Katrina did exactly like that. It's not loudness, it's passion.
First time sub here. You hit it right! When you hear enough Filipinos sing you start looking for those qualities on each performer that separate one from another. Thanks for the reaction!
We love singers who can sing high notes really amazing maybe because of regine velasquez,because of her we always expect a singer can sing high notes. Thank you for reacting to filipino singers, been liking you for that.. God bless you both..
yes.. we are into ballad style.. that is how we do it... we lure you to thinking we are not something to be afraid of... and then when it's too late for you to run, we turn into monster
Your observations are correct guys :) Most of the time, especially in singing contests here in Philippines, what most people would like see and hear is the belting part to get that satisfaction and to say that it was a great performance. Great reactions and comments Ovela and M-Angel! Ma buhay!!!
This is the reason why I love MGN's reactions. You will see them argue in such little details and it's cute. It justifies that they actually reacting withoit rehearsal 😂😂 We miss you M-Angel. 😍😍
your observation towards filipino singing style is absolutely and exactly correct. we filipino appriciate alot of singers who can sing beyond, and we usually immitate the foreign singers. maybe thats the reason why you heard alot of them with familiar or sounded like the singer who originally sang the song.
ovela- is true when he said that most of Filipinos standard for a good singer is someone who can hit high notes! big notes! M-Angel -- u'r a true Diva in that look! love it!
filipino standard: the higher the note, higher the chance to win. In any contest here when you hit the high notes perfectly youll win for sure. they dont usually care in lownotes and some techniques.
u hit it ovela! most of the filipinos have this inate melody when they sing but having a pipe is a skill .. when u join the singing contest here you need to hit the high notes, its like a 3 point shot in a sec in basketball where u feel high .. i feel her version is magical ..
You are precise on this Ovela and very well said. Every time a singer covers a song I look forward on how he/she will attack the song and make a difference.
That was a great observation and one of the reasons why Regine is the song Goddess! It is commonly known as Regine's flair. Regine's transition from one key to the next and to the next and to the next is always flawless and her trademark. Katrina in my personal opinion is on track in making it huge in the industry. She is flawless and I could sometimes hear Regine in her performances. Truly talented and I hope she will be given a chance to shine!
@9:11 Leomar Santos Umengan 🙂🙂🙂 thank you so much for the shout out 😍😍😍 you correctly pronounced my name except for the surname 🤗🤗🤗 but that's fine 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you so much
Everyone loves singing even those people who weren't blessed. But come on guys, for real? M-Angel was just saying what she felt and what she noticed. They actually turned out as a great reactors because of what they know about MUSIC. Do not criticize her by being real. Instead, thank her, thank them by being real. More power to you guys! You may not notice each of everyone who subscribed to your channel but I am definitely 1 of the biggest follower of your reaction videos. Keep it up and God bless!
To sing is our pleasure and we love belting songs,even young or children can belt,maybe it's in Filipinos blood,and it's not to make everyone to empressed,we just love it,belting.We sing anywhere,anytime.
Ovela, your coat looks bomb! Love it! M-Angel you're always on point...that necklace tho....😍I LOVE your reactions! Reaction to Lexi Walker a 15 year old is amazing!!! Her collaboration with the Piano Guys singing oh holy night/ Ave Maria is so angelic and the cinematography is epic! You will not be disappointed. So impressive
katrina bongga yung mga hindi agree kay kath ok lang majority na magsasabi kath the best to the best galing mo sobra and thank you sa nagdedefend kay kath god bless
oh I just love your comments about Katrina's performance...Yayayooommm!!! and I love also that I'm expecting that youre gonna mention my name in your shout outs..AHAHa! Yayayooom!
hmmm i have comments but i will keep it to myself,, it is hard to determine,,what is is really in M-gel's mind,,, but i respect her reaction,, to each his own !!! more power Guys !!!
Katrina is known for her high sustained belting and I listen to her for that. KZ is about performance and originality and I expect that from her. Morissette is for her voice and style (and the whistle). These three are, in my opinion, the best female singing artists today that come from the Philippines.
Haha Ovela you are learning. Yes. You are right. It is tough to be a singer in the Philippines because a lot of singers here can belt. It is a matter of who can hit the highest note. May it be in the Television or just a small competition in a Town's Festival hitting those high notes is a must. If you can hit it you can win it.
Just a trivia, Regine did the first female cover of this song (of course here in the Phils.). This is the same arrangement she sang this with. Now like Katrina, many new female singers sing the same version. Well, to showcase their belting ability. After Regine, not everyone who tried were successful in making a niche in the industry. Very few have excelled but no one has yet reached the level of Regine. I agree with M-Angel, This is a good version. She can hit those high notes but I'm not crazy about it. I still think Katrina is very talented. Perhaps there are better songs for her. :)
Haha! "She rode it." , "She wrote it?" I sooo love you guys. I am a fan of Katrina since Lord knows when and yeah she is something. As for the belting and the build up and all that stuff - REGINE VELASQUEZ STARTED IT ALL. More power to you guys! You're the only reactors I watch, really, and you're an original. Keep slayin' them others. Hahaha!
I was just about to ask MGN to react on this and here they are 😍😍😍 and yes I agree the pipes is sooooo impressive. I hope you can react to Gary V singing I will be here in wish bus. Pure of soul... Please 😀😀😀
Wow! M-Angel is becoming more and more harder to please now since the day she reacted to her first Pinoy singer...and Ovela's opinion on the performance is so on point..that's how Filipinos look for in their singers nowadays specially the music labels now..they have a very very high standards when it comes to singing..and that's what M-Angel is looking for when a Filipino singer is singing now...they have to be emotionally connected to the audience and feeling what they're singing as well...But to tell you honestly, she did great..I'm not gonna lie! It was a live performance and it's not like a recorded performance that it needs to be perfect...anything goes when it happens live..
Yeah you're right Ovela, Filipino singers take it to the highest level , the progression of the song.. It gives surprise to listener and challenge to a signer how they will make it their own song or version.. I think you're right Phillip Pascion Regine starts all lols.. You got it!
hi mgn...the go the distance version used by katrina is originally arranged for regine velasquez...just want to ask why dont you look at regines performance of the go the distance...
They're right. Singing isn't just about belting. Like Lea is one of the best singers in the world and yet, she doesn't belt much. So guys, appreciate the singing, not the belting. Thumbs up to both of you!
I believe that "belting" tradition in Filipino singing all started with Regine Velasquez. I am 40, and I grew up watching Regine singing, belting on TV since the 90s. Most often, her performances would leave us in awe with dropped jaw. That I think probably was one of the reasons why every Filipina singer, then and now, wants to imitate Regine. Coupled with our love to American music like no other country in the world especially power ballads, as well as karaoke machines that you can find virtually everywhere in the Philippines, expect to see more of these Regine wannabes to come out ready to impress the world!
For me belting is so typical now from Filipina singers that what I look for now is technique and control. On a side note, I'm sure that someone would have mentioned by now that Flipino power singing partly evolved form the many singing competitions in the Philippines, but let me add there's also the barrio and town fiestas - a yearly thanksgiving celebration for the whole town which most times include a singing competition with prizes which is a cheap way to entertain the people. As you can imagine the number of them each year one can participate in you can see how our singers evolved and continue to evolve in order to get on top of that heap.
She's not insecure. She's just being honest. The voice is really amazing but when she hit the High notes she sounded like Regine V. But then she's a good singer effortless on hitting high notes with kwela faces and different voices.
I agree Katrina should focus on the emotion and dynamics. She should feel the song to give more emotions. She could be perfect when she learns it. She doesn't copy celine though that is her natural voice..hehe
Mark Rayver Gonzales agreed. She was too focused in delivering a technically perfect singing, which was indeed great. But emotionwise, its pretty dry. But great singing though!
She has never given a chance yet in the music industry. She's one of Charice's competition back when they were still kids joining amateur singing contests. Her rendition is Regine's.
Birit(belting) has been staple of Filipino singing. It all started with a competition show called Ang Bangong Kampeon(The New Champions). Now everyone of these performers are good to the point that the only way to win the competition is to belt higher or to belt the longest in a song. This made Regine Velasquez famous for being probably the only contestant who can reach high notes week after week among many amatuers. Regine won and that became a staple of many would be singers as well. Regine herself made singing competitions that made new talents like Sarah Geronimo & Jonalyn Viray.
try to check regine's version of this song, she did this with live orchestra, regine set the standard cover for this song which jona and charice tried too
First of all, Good morning from the Philippines! I agree with M Angel, she's very comftable performing esp belting and doing runs BUT it didnt hit me. I appreciate the vocal olympic thingy she did tho. Btw, she was charice pempengco's competitor back in the days. Here in the Phl thats what the singers strive for - Belting. And Im impressed that Ovela got it. Belting is really a thing here. Celine, Whitney & Mariah are some of the influences and of course, in addition of our very own Regine. This is what I like about MGN, you guys dont over react to the videos like what others do. Your own opinions are on point!!!! More power!
I dont know but MAngel seem and looks intimidated by Katrina's performance. It's pretty clear that she's in awe after watching the video. Her reaction cannot deny that she was stunned and blown away.
M-Angel said... I don't like the way she sing 🎶 because I can't sing like her... lol 😂😂😂
Gabriel Mendoza I dont think M-Angel said she didnt like it in general. She just mentioned that the performance didnt touch her emotionally but that doesnt mean that it was a bad performance.
Gabriel Mendoza what's your number LOL
Would of her opinion be different if she was just listening to the song without the video? Watching someone singing and feeling is SUBJECTIVE. M-Angel is known insecure because she sounds like a frog. She should have given her objective opinion about the notes or pitch but knowing her. hahaha
We are all entitled of our own opinion (objective or not). M-Angel is no different.

There are also performances which are simple but do touch our hearts. Maybe for M-Angel this was a good performance but not good enough to move her. As simple as that. we do not need to compare people to animals here pls.
maybe... hahaha..
most of the singers.. starts in soft.. slow... low.. then come into higher to higher.. i think dats wat u call Dynamics.. an element of surprise...
Regine starts all haha
Phillip Pascion exactly! i didnt like it! i want to like it but this was regines style and voice, i want an originality from her!
Phillip Pascion ako din! especially I like how Ovela reacts to Regine. I know he would love it
rojanezy2 wag ka mag react kung ayw mo din haha
rojanezy2 respect pala respect m o opinion at comment namin haha
rojanezy2 shut up muka mo haha
M-angel thanks for being real.. that's one of the reasons why i watch your videos.. both of you are not fake reactors. Thank you for appreciating Filipino talents..

Yeah she cant actually think of any criticism so she came up with that.
First time sub here. You hit it right! When you hear enough Filipinos sing you start looking for those qualities on each performer that separate one from another. Thanks for the reaction!
+michpinoy you're welcome 😊
We love singers who can sing high notes really amazing maybe because of regine velasquez,because of her we always expect a singer can sing high notes. Thank you for reacting to filipino singers, been liking you for that.. God bless you both..

Your observations are correct guys :) Most of the time, especially in singing contests here in Philippines, what most people would like see and hear is the belting part to get that satisfaction and to say that it was a great performance. Great reactions and comments Ovela and M-Angel! Ma buhay!!!
belting is like pride here in the philippines. the more you can belt well, the more applause you get
Super thank you Ovela and M-Angel cor reacting too quick!! Yehey!!!
Very nice reaction, I love you both!!!
This is the reason why I love MGN's reactions. You will see them argue in such little details and it's cute. It justifies that they actually reacting withoit rehearsal 😂😂
We miss you M-Angel. 😍😍
they finally reacted to her... im just so happy they already did... yahoo yahoo yahoo!!!
Probably because belting is a criterion of a great singer. Belting shows power. Good belting leaves you in awe. Wink wink!
Exactly.. Who nails it best will be a huge wow for Filipinos
your observation towards filipino singing style is absolutely and exactly correct. we filipino appriciate alot of singers who can sing beyond, and we usually immitate the foreign singers. maybe thats the reason why you heard alot of them with familiar or sounded like the singer who originally sang the song.
oh yes thanks for the shoutout guyz more power,, stay pretty m angle,, love ur hair
+Migo Allatab ♥️
ovela- is true when he said that most of Filipinos standard for a good singer is someone who can hit high notes! big notes!
M-Angel -- u'r a true Diva in that look! love it!
+PhilipRey Smith awwww thank you boo 😘
Ovela, I agree with everything you said. Spot on.
Ovela got it...that is exactly what it is. We love ballads because of what exactly you just said.
Philippines is a factory of high quality, genuine, first class singers.
filipino standard: the higher the note, higher the chance to win. In any contest here when you hit the high notes perfectly youll win for sure. they dont usually care in lownotes and some techniques.
u hit it ovela! most of the filipinos have this inate melody when they sing but having a pipe is a skill .. when u join the singing contest here you need to hit the high notes, its like a 3 point shot in a sec in basketball where u feel high .. i feel her version is magical ..
Vocal Dynamics,Headtone, falcetto,Runs,and Techniques Kat uses in this performance ☺ keep it up.
You are precise on this Ovela and very well said. Every time a singer covers a song I look forward on how he/she will attack the song and make a difference.
+John Wilmer Oco 👍👍👍👍
M-angel with black hair = beautiful
M-angel with blonde hair = GORGEOUS 😃
I love your reaction, thanks for continuously reacting Filipino singers...
+carlo digma it's a pleasure 😊
Your welcome guys.
you are so right with your ,,, reaction oh Katrin's voice,, Ovela
You got it right, most pinoy singers tend to higher notes, it has pros and cons on music industry. BUT it build our culture to music.
That was a great observation and one of the reasons why Regine is the song Goddess! It is commonly known as Regine's flair. Regine's transition from one key to the next and to the next and to the next is always flawless and her trademark. Katrina in my personal opinion is on track in making it huge in the industry. She is flawless and I could sometimes hear Regine in her performances. Truly talented and I hope she will be given a chance to shine!
@9:11 Leomar Santos Umengan 🙂🙂🙂 thank you so much for the shout out 😍😍😍 you correctly pronounced my name except for the surname 🤗🤗🤗 but that's fine 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you so much

+mrKpooper4 it's all about the realness with us 😊
To sing is our pleasure and we love belting songs,even young or children can belt,maybe it's in Filipinos blood,and it's not to make everyone to empressed,we just love it,belting.We sing anywhere,anytime.

keep makin them! :)
+Jossh A. Awwww thank you 😙
Ovela, your coat looks bomb! Love it! M-Angel you're always on point...that necklace tho....😍I LOVE your reactions! Reaction to Lexi Walker a 15 year old is amazing!!! Her collaboration with the Piano Guys singing oh holy night/ Ave Maria is so angelic and the cinematography is epic! You will not be disappointed. So impressive
She actually sang Regine Velasquez' version of Go the distance.
Ovela. You got the point. Thumbs up!
In the Filipino language, we have this term "birit" which is what you termed "belting" which most Filipino singers have a knack for.
love you guys... 😀😁❤❤💜💜
Most of the filipino wants to hear high notes. the more higher the more we enjoy the music. but some of them loves the low and slow rock.
katrina bongga yung mga hindi agree kay kath ok lang majority na magsasabi kath the best to the best galing mo sobra and thank you sa nagdedefend kay kath god bless
another great honest and nice comments from you both...😊😊Happy love day to you both..😘😙😚

What a term exhibited hehhehee i kinda like it!!!. Nice reaction video love both of u.
totally agree w/ M-Angel. If you're a musician/singer/artist, the TONE tops it all. It's not all about belting.
Katrina is known for her high sustained belting and I listen to her for that. KZ is about performance and originality and I expect that from her. Morissette is for her voice and style (and the whistle). These three are, in my opinion, the best female singing artists today that come from the Philippines.

Keep slayin' them others. Hahaha!
The Filipino singer are rated as to how clean they can sing in the highest notes, that is where they are rewarded by fan adulation.
Ovela was right about what Filipino audience expect for belters/balladiers.
your right ovela
oooppps... you're* and yep he is right
I was just about to ask MGN to react on this and here they are 😍😍😍
and yes I agree the pipes is sooooo impressive. I hope you can react to Gary V singing I will be here in wish bus. Pure of soul... Please 😀😀😀
Wow! M-Angel is becoming more and more harder to please now since the day she reacted to her first Pinoy singer...and Ovela's opinion on the performance is so on point..that's how Filipinos look for in their singers nowadays specially the music labels now..they have a very very high standards when it comes to singing..and that's what M-Angel is looking for when a Filipino singer is singing now...they have to be emotionally connected to the audience and feeling what they're singing as well...But to tell you honestly, she did great..I'm not gonna lie! It was a live performance and it's not like a recorded performance that it needs to be perfect...anything goes when it happens live..
katrina is a monster!!! Gosh...
I really love her... 😍😍😍
Love you love you love you both!!!
Yeah you're right Ovela, Filipino singers take it to the highest level , the progression of the song.. It gives surprise to listener and challenge to a signer how they will make it their own song or version..
I think you're right Phillip Pascion Regine starts all lols.. You got it!
oh! ovela youre amazing reactor! thats why i love you! 😘😘😘😘
hi mgn...the go the distance version used by katrina is originally arranged for regine velasquez...just want to ask why dont you look at regines performance of the go the distance...
They're right. Singing isn't just about belting. Like Lea is one of the best singers in the world and yet, she doesn't belt much. So guys, appreciate the singing, not the belting. Thumbs up to both of you!
that was regine's style, that thing "up and then going up again" that was regine's thing. She's the boss.
I believe that "belting" tradition in Filipino singing all started with Regine Velasquez. I am 40, and I grew up watching Regine singing, belting on TV since the 90s. Most often, her performances would leave us in awe with dropped jaw. That I think probably was one of the reasons why every Filipina singer, then and now, wants to imitate Regine. Coupled with our love to American music like no other country in the world especially power ballads, as well as karaoke machines that you can find virtually everywhere in the Philippines, expect to see more of these Regine wannabes to come out ready to impress the world!
Her way of singing; she shows little shaking, then the buildup and the finally here comes the TSUNAMI.
For me belting is so typical now from Filipina singers that what I look for now is technique and control. On a side note, I'm sure that someone would have mentioned by now that Flipino power singing partly evolved form the many singing competitions in the Philippines, but let me add there's also the barrio and town fiestas - a yearly thanksgiving celebration for the whole town which most times include a singing competition with prizes which is a cheap way to entertain the people. As you can imagine the number of them each year one can participate in you can see how our singers evolved and continue to evolve in order to get on top of that heap.
Love watching your reactions guys, new subscriber here from Vancouver👍👏
Powerful, awesome, clean....
Hi m-angel whos version do you prefer over this kat velarde go the distance again?
She's not insecure. She's just being honest. The voice is really amazing but when she hit the High notes she sounded like Regine V. But then she's a good singer effortless on hitting high notes with kwela faces and different voices.
I agree Katrina should focus on the emotion and dynamics. She should feel the song to give more emotions. She could be perfect when she learns it. She doesn't copy celine though that is her natural voice..hehe
Mark Rayver Gonzales i really think that she is already a storyteller through her voice.. i don't know what emotions you need?
Mark Rayver Gonzales agreed. She was too focused in delivering a technically perfect singing, which was indeed great. But emotionwise, its pretty dry. But great singing though!
She meant Katrina shouldn't show off her skill like belting at the end of the song. It's supposed to be slow and calm.
Kendall J very well said... 👏👏👏
Maybe you don't know what "dynamics" mean? No emotions? Really??? WTF! Lol... ☺😊😀😁😂
She has never given a chance yet in the music industry. She's one of Charice's competition back when they were still kids joining amateur singing contests. Her rendition is Regine's.
the reason i subscribed is because of you M Angel! love love love..
+waxi awww thank you 😙
Me too, M-angel looks stunning, like her, love her... 💕💕💕
Birit(belting) has been staple of Filipino singing. It all started with a competition show called Ang Bangong Kampeon(The New Champions). Now everyone of these performers are good to the point that the only way to win the competition is to belt higher or to belt the longest in a song. This made Regine Velasquez famous for being probably the only contestant who can reach high notes week after week among many amatuers. Regine won and that became a staple of many would be singers as well. Regine herself made singing competitions that made new talents like Sarah Geronimo & Jonalyn Viray.
like the way you react guys thanks so much
try to check regine's version of this song, she did this with live orchestra, regine set the standard cover for this song which jona and charice tried too
i think if u've seen regine's rendition of this song...u'd know that she was channeling regine in this performance.
First of all, Good morning from the Philippines! I agree with M Angel, she's very comftable performing esp belting and doing runs BUT it didnt hit me. I appreciate the vocal olympic thingy she did tho. Btw, she was charice pempengco's competitor back in the days. Here in the Phl thats what the singers strive for - Belting. And Im impressed that Ovela got it. Belting is really a thing here. Celine, Whitney & Mariah are some of the influences and of course, in addition of our very own Regine. This is what I like about MGN, you guys dont over react to the videos like what others do. Your own opinions are on point!!!! More power!
