[@christn6560]

singers before have distinct voice characteristics na alam mo sa kanila. yun bang marinig mo lang ay alam mo agad na kung kaninong boses... samantalang ngayon halos magkakapareho lang...iisang timbre tapos puro birit. sana ibalik ang MetroPop.

[@rancelavigne7699]

Sana maibalik tong METROPOP...

[@choyzee]

WOOWW!!! What a great opening number! Special shout out to Boss Rannie Raymundo! Thank you very much po, Sir Danny Tan, for sharing this. Brings back wonderful memories. 😍🤩

Thanks Sir Danny for uploading this videos. Amping

[@jodinprinztv]

now i know kung bakit nagparetoke si lani😂

[@ilovemusictoo]

Sayang si Ella May Saison, wala naman nangyari sa kakapursue nya ng international career. Kung nagstay lang siguro sya sa Pinas baka isa na rin sya sa mga icon ngayon gaya nina Jaya at Lani Misalucha...

[@nicolicious1986]
