    If you notice too, She doesn’t use monitor earpiece. She still the old school classic singer, won’t use digital mic that has compression. She’s got a sharp ear and beautiful phrasing. Class act.

      pdxmonkee exactly. I havent seen her using one regardless of the concert venue, be it an open air or indoor.
      Singers from holywood highly rely on those aids and enhancement to sound good.
      Thats how skillful she is. She has a very sharp listening skill. Very rare singers dont use ear piece.

    That's definitely the reason why I still choose Regine over the Korean belter despite of all the fanwars coz Regine is NOT ONLY a great singer but also SHE's definitely a GREAT ARTIST that makes her a QUEEN... a LEGEND... an IMMORTAL! :)

    I was here. I've witnessed how she portrayed the emotions with such amazing clarity.
    This concert was pushed through even her father passed away less than 2 weeks during this concert. We all crying for her. We all mourning for her and for the loss of a great and loving father we also adored.

    The feeling when you’re watching her Live in Concert is so priceless, the chills every time she belts skyrocketing notes are what we pay and keep us on coming back for decades now. She’s just so beautiful to watch and hear. Concerts, albums, series, movies and variety shows... Regine is worth every bucks. 💵

  • @giotiongsonvlog4442

    She is crying that time. That is the first concert she made right after her father died, it's like few months after her father died when she made the concert. There is another song in the same Concert that she was crying the whole time she is singing the song that Martin Nievera needs to come out to comfort her. 😢

    I think this was one of her father's favorite songs, who happened to have passed on a few days before this concert, hence, the powerful emotion. It's a surreal experience if you listen to her sing live.

    Regine has starred in many blockbuster movies and TV series. She is/was a host of many TV programs including musical variety shows, singing competitions (Sarah and Jona are 2 winners from such competions), and even a cooking show! She really does it all and is a true workaholic. It's a wonder she is able to preserve her singing voice.

    Regine had several movies and they were all box office hits. You might wanna react to "Til I met you"- the theme song of one of her movies.
    Probably, red is special to her.. Her wedding dress was red too 😄

    This is pure, if ur fan of Regine ull feel her, the way she sings the song so sad , powerful , emotional and so real, I was there at concert everyone is in tears emotional because her father died days before the concert, knowing her as a fan, she won't and never cancel any show even if she's sick or grieving that's how professional she is and also Regine is the best live singer its really amazing it seeing in videos here in TH-cam but her live concert is just magical

    Please watch her Rihanna medley from this concert.. It only proves her voice can go modern as it can be.. She sounds so good with a lot of modern songs but she opt not to sing it maybe because she thinks she looks old to sing it but her voice fits most of the modern songs of today.
