Their cover song from the original by Celine Dion, Katrina is the Queen of riffs and runs of the Ph, vocal supreme, lung power beast, chameleon...More of her pls Katrina knows how to arrange and modify her music..check out her ONE TAKE COVER SESSIONS. thank u ::)) Mabuhay!
Katrina Velarde is really an Amazing singer, sad to say she's so underrated here in the Philippines..I am so glad that there are people like you who appreciates her music and her voice..Please do watch and react more of her Solo covers because with the talent that she has, Ms. Katrina Velarde deserves to be Seen and Recognized worldwide..🤗
Katrina is a vocal beast. Y'all need to watch her live performances like "somewhere over the rainbow" and " Whitney Houston medley" live at the Metrowalk. Impressive 4 sure
Thanks for your reactions. Kat is a beast. At the end of the video, your comments about needing to arrange with the vocalist you have in mind to sign. At this level it definitely helps. Katrina not only sings, but arranges, produces, sings many of the background vocals as well. Her late husband, Mike Shapiro, was a very accomplished drummer and producer and I'm sure aided Katrina's development beyond singing. Katrina is musically gifted in many areas, which is why the arrangement works so well on her covers.
This is her 1st comeback cover after her husband died just a few months ago ( I think, 3 months, ago after the death ). That is why Katrina is so emotional and truly connected to the song 😢
you need to react also on katrina velarde singing SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAIBOW..that was a super talent😁more power on you guys shout out from the philippines❤😘
It is a cover of a Celine Dion song. It was composed for one singer. It was Katrina who arranged the song so it can be sung as a duet. That is how talented she is. That is how dedicated she is in her craft. While others are in it for fame and money, mysic is her true passion.
It is given that Filipinos love to sing. Local artists learn their basics from icons and are now pushing the limit for vocals --- harmonization, riffs, and choice of notes. They are doing great at this. This without any trace at gaslighting.
thanks for reacting to Katrina again! ❤❤❤ this performance was inspired by Katrina's ONE TAKE COVER of I Surrender. if you wanna see more epic collab by Kwith artists, check out the following performances: 🔵 I TURN TO YOU (w/ SAM MANGUBAT) 🔵 I'LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN (w/ Eumee Capile) 🔵 Muli (w/ Daryl Ong) 🔵 BEAUTIFUL (w/ Elaine Duran)
Great reaction. The arrangement and production were by Bobby Velasco, who has been working with Katrina Velarde for many years and knows exactly what Katrina can do vocally. Jessica is less established and she recently won a TV singing contest in the Philippines. You need some serious chops to do that, and I think Katrina liked what she saw and heard 'cause she reached out to Jessica to collab. The rest, as they say, is history. What a stunning performance. I have probably seen it at least two dozen times and it still blows me away every time.
Flabbergasted much? 😊 🥰Yes…Her voice was indeed haunting. I teared when I first heard this for she had taken time off due to the death of her husband Mike Shapiro after a short 6 months of marrying him. Mike was the drummer in several of her videos, if you look back at them. Her face and voice emoted her deep loss, in my opinion. We genuinely felt for Katrina in this one. ❤️The best duet…with Jessica’s powerful voice too. Thank you for featuring her again.
Great reaction and musical insights. The original song was done by Celine as a solo and Both Kat and Jessica had their own solo versions. Kat, most likely, had the most hand in the vocal arrangements as she even commented to reveal who was singing the higher notes in various parts to allay the brewing arguments among followers. Kat admitted to intentionally make it not easy to recognize as she had confidence in Jessica's high range, but she did not want further conflicts.
I so love this performance from this two talented singers ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for the reaction. It’s fun to see and hear your reactions and thoughts about this performance and singers 👍
At last, hope with Lucas and Brad are with you Josh, I want to watch their reactions too. Please do react this again with them Next please, Katrina Velarde and Sam MANGUBAT duet too. Thanks and God bless.
Incase you still dont know, the way they sing it is actually sa solo version of katrina herself. So probably she arranged it herself. She has a live version of it solo on her exclusive shows.
Katrina usually (not always…Mama Knows Best) starts off intimate, more reserved…and by the end of the song, she’s punched you in the face, and sweetly ends leaving you with a smile on your face. BTW, she always includes credits at the end of studio versions…let it roll, bro’… look at them for your answers…Celine Dion did a pretty good cover also…😂😂😂😂😂
Who arranged this, Katrina Velarde. If you keep exploring Katrina, you will understand, Katrina is different. P.S. react to Hi Ren, your world will change, I promise.
LoL... you can go to any Filipino party, and when someone breaks out the karaoke, there's a big chance there's someone in attendance who can belt like that. That's not even a joke. 🤣
It's a cover. The song "I Surrender" was written by Louis Biancaniello and Sam Watters, and recorded by Canadian singer Celine Dion from her seventh English-language studio album, A New Day Has Come (2002). And Katrina/ Jessica's cover is on point. They both gave it justice if you will. American-Filipino here on the West Coast of the USA. An addendum: The American Social fabric is very much punctuated by Filipinos/Filipinas, be it pure or a mixture, and currently, based on the most current census of the US, there are about 45 million of us Filipinos/Filipinas who are American Citizens. That, certainly, is saying something; a testament that Filipinos/Filipinas are, very much an integral part of American Society. I'm one of them.
Thanks Josh for your continuing support to OPM music and artists. I think you have a very good platform to reach out to Katrina Velarde and her management to propose a collaboration. I doubt they would turn down a rare opportunity to work with overseas musicians and producers like you that are willing to help introduce their music to the US and other international viewers and listeners. Good to see your following on TH-cam increase. All the very best! Many thanks again
Yes! I have been wanting for you to react to this video! I am so happy! You were surprised by how long Katrina can hold her breath while belting? I hope you can react to her Longest Note Ever Belted. But she does not just stop with 30+ seconds without breathing. Her latest record is 43 seconds! 😍
Its a Celine Dion song❤that cover is from Katrina Velarde official. They both sang that solo and Katrina decided they can do a good duet and they did❤❤❤
🎤💃 Nice choice of codes today... seems their voices are dancing in rhythm. Philippines has the most insanely talented vocalist... sadly their reach is only up to the reactors from other countries. Imagine this being sang live at the grammys. 😱
Katrina’s husband passed away couple months before she recorded this video. That’s why she has a sad/upset look throughout the song… and the song means a lot to her.
Ed Zachary! It's one thing having a singer with the capabilities of a Celine (original artist in this case), but actually conceptualizing a piece for this generational talent is another. I know David Foster wrote alot of her songs, which puts him firmly into legendary status. So if Dave is a legend, what does that make Mariah Carey? She wrote, or co-wrote most of her own material, for a voice nobody had really come across till she came along. What is she considered to be as a writer alone 🤯. When it comes to this level of cover artist, it is a case of true artistry. Only if you are musically inclined, can one truly riff and run without being messy. The duet to kill all music duets 🤯
😂I would like to take this opportunity to thank you guys for your extremely comments and reactions for all talented Filipino singers from the Philippines. They are truly remarkable and appreciated..we thank you for inspiring us to learn from you when you give your comments based on your reactions... I hope you guys keep from what you are doing! God Bless for your team.. ❤❤❤❤❤
Whoa another great reaction Josh😮.I couldn't imagine reacting with Lucas 😅. Another mind blowing. Thank you Josh for really appreciating and doing effort to react with our very own filipino artist. ❤😍🥰🙏🏻. Keep safe always.

Finally..thanks bruh...check more Katrina's music..Godbless
I Surrender was originally sang by Celine Dione. If Celine Dione saw this video, she surely was awed by Katrina's and Jessica's top performance.
Thats why Katrina was given the title of Asian Vocal Supreme 🔥🔥🔥
If you have not seen it, you can check her Whitney Houston medley.
you need to react also on katrina velarde singing SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAIBOW..that was a super talent😁more power on you guys shout out from the philippines❤😘

We are greatful for your ongoing support and admiration towards our Filipino singers who never fail to impress you. 😊

Katrina's husband had just passed away when this video was released - so for Katrina, there is an extra depth of emotion here
Oh my my my! I lost my breathe😮! what a talent!
