"...someone tried to say it, and we nailed HIM to a cross..." mygod.. i cry everytime i hear that part of this song. Kudos to Regine and Martin for this unparalleled rendition.

That’s because they set this at Régine’s key, not Martin’s, which is the typical challenge with duets (and which is why good arrangers try to harmonize the parts well; this particular number was a fail - I would have done different notes for Martin).
Charlene. The female singer on this song with Stevie Wonder was Charlene. She did this song with Stevie Wonder and she also had hit in 1982 with the song I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ME.
Ikaw naman PinoyChampion,papaano di mahirapan si Martin ng pag-awit eh ang sikip-sikip ng suot niyang leather pants.Ayan tuloy naipit ang balls nya di tuloy makahinga ng maayos.Sino kaya designer? Nagmukhang sofa tuloy si Martin.Parang kurtina o table cloth yong shirt?
an awesome song..martin was a bit off with his higher notes..i cant blame him, its stevie wonder.. regine, on the othr hand..was flawless and powerful.
i never liked martin when performing. masyado magulo at magalaw. also i don't like his headtone and he hits the high notes. tapos sweaty at may earpiece.. goosebumps....damn!!
Great performers . . . I would love to hear them redo this again, but this time have someone guide them in being a bit less dramatic in some of the "I'm showing of my voice now" parts in the second half. Also, the big line in this song is the second to last (someone tried to say it, and they nailed him to a cross) and that line should have been the climax of the tune, not the final line (its still the way it used to be).
Regine and Martin both have great vocals, but they seemed to have oversung this very beautiful song, in my opinion. Try to hear the original version by Stevie Wonder and Charlene and you'll feel the real meaning of the song.
i don't hav anything against these two. but we must admit, this is not a good version. martin had so many sharps and his head tone was bad here. regine's belting was an earsore and she was shouting at times. this is a good song so i listened, but it should be a heartfelt song and unfortunately, they didn't give justice to it.
"the kids are wild we just cant tame them" grabeee ate reg. Gigil. Na feel ko sobra
"...someone tried to say it, and we nailed HIM to a cross..."
mygod.. i cry everytime i hear that part of this song. Kudos to Regine and Martin for this unparalleled rendition.

Flashlyrics
Used to Be Lyrics
Superman was killed in Dallas
There's no love left in the palace
Someone took the Beatles' lead guitar
Have another Chivas Regal
It's twelve years old and s** is legal
Your parents don't know where or who you are
REFRAIN:
Used to be the hero of the ball game
Took the time to shake the loser's hand
Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try
In a world where people gave a d***
Great big wars in little place
Look at all those frightened faces
But don't come here
We just don't have the room
Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter
Cleanse your life with holy water
We don't need to bathe we've got perfume
REFRAIN 2:
Used to be a knight in shining armor
Didn't have to own a shiny car
Dignity and courage were the measure of a man
Not the drugs he needs to hide the scar, woh-oh-oh-oh
Can your teacher read?
Does your preacher pray?
Does your president have soul?
Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today?
Mama took to speed and daddy ran away
But you must'nt lose control
Let's cut the class
I got some grass
The kids are wild, we just can't tame them
Do we have the right to blame them?
We fed them all our indecisions
We've wrecked their minds with television
But what the hell, they're too young to feel pain
REFRAIN 3:
But I believe that love can sing tomorrow
Believe the truth can make us free
Someone tried to say it, then we nailed Him to the cross
I guess it's still the way it used to be.
00:19 to 00:22 was great!!! sana solo na lang ni regine o kaya sila ni gary.
partida kasi may migraine attack pa si regine during the concert.
🙏❤😇
Sana kantahin nila ulit sa ASAP ano po title?
❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭😘😍
i believe you. can you please post the original version to this..thanks..the lyrics is good
I wonder why Sir Martin won't get into stage play too...❤
Miss Colombia?? haha! d nmn na Colombia si Ms Regzz!
Ganda ng Duet nila..
Parang Canadian kamu😃

Imagine singing "does your president have a soul".....in from of gloria arroyo. Hahahaha
Martin having a hard time keeping up with Regine’s volume alone
That’s because they set this at Régine’s key, not Martin’s, which is the typical challenge with duets (and which is why good arrangers try to harmonize the parts well; this particular number was a fail - I would have done different notes for Martin).
Charlene. The female singer on this song with Stevie Wonder was Charlene. She did this song with Stevie Wonder and she also had hit in 1982 with the song I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ME.
woot woot! sexy regine!! great duet! ;)
martin was quite off with some of his high registers..regine on the other hand was flawless and powerful..
12 years ago comment mo.tagql na pala ng video na ini.
Omg!!!! With all due respect to charlene and Stevie wonder, .... regine’s and martin’s version is soooooo epic than the original ❤️❤️❤️
naawa ako kay Martin Nievera dito… pero naitawid naman 😅
Regine killed it. I just wish she had a different partner.
Ikaw naman PinoyChampion,papaano di mahirapan si Martin ng pag-awit eh ang sikip-sikip ng suot niyang leather pants.Ayan tuloy naipit ang balls nya di tuloy makahinga ng maayos.Sino kaya designer? Nagmukhang sofa tuloy si Martin.Parang kurtina o table cloth yong shirt?

at 1:44 Ms. Regine sang the wrong words/lyrics.. But overall it was good in my ears, so pasok kayo sa round na ito! hehe
parang pareho naman yung banggit nila ni martin
olivia Newtown
does ur president have soul???
i never liked martin when performing. masyado magulo at magalaw. also i don't like his headtone and he hits the high notes. tapos sweaty at may earpiece..
goosebumps....damn!!
Struggle is real
Kinain ng buo ni regine si martin...
almost perfect except for martin's high notes..
Great performers . . . I would love to hear them redo this again, but this time have someone guide them in being a bit less dramatic in some of the "I'm showing of my voice now" parts in the second half. Also, the big line in this song is the second to last (someone tried to say it, and they nailed him to a cross) and that line should have been the climax of the tune, not the final line (its still the way it used to be).
who the heck are you? 🤣🤣🤣
I always love the original version of this song, but being pinoy okay pa rin.
sabe ni ms reging ka boring naman nitong kinakanta ko ang baba haha kaya sinimplihan nya lang haha😂🥰
HELP!!! I want a recording of Charlene singing "Used to Be."
maybe, but if so then she must've "Americanized" it because she recorded Used To Be as Charlene Duncan.
sang it charlene duncan
It's Stevie Wonder and Charlene
i was expecting more...martin's headtone sucked...
Regine and Martin both have great vocals, but they seemed to have oversung this very beautiful song, in my opinion. Try to hear the original version by Stevie Wonder and Charlene and you'll feel the real meaning of the song.
i don't hav anything against these two. but we must admit, this is not a good version. martin had so many sharps and his head tone was bad here. regine's belting was an earsore and she was shouting at times. this is a good song so i listened, but it should be a heartfelt song and unfortunately, they didn't give justice to it.
15 years ago and walang may pakealam sa opinyon mo. hahahaha jusko
PERFECTION!!!
