Yeah...I remember this too. It was a really close match. Michael Cruz won this with his text votes, whereas Frenchie Dy won with her superb vocal talent. They cant not take her and they couldnt to not take Michael, since he got so many votes. But they were both amazing. Im just glad Frenchie was taken as well.
Agreed. She is most likely WAY better than before, recovering from her sickness. But that was a year ago. She has been getting opportunities such as Avenue Q, which is great and some guestings in Wowowee. But with her talent, I think she deserves more.
she really deserves to win in that contest! superb! every time i hear her sing i'm always captivated...clap clap! a big round of applause! go girl! when will be the release of ur album?
now it sounds like she said i JUST wanna be free...lol...maybe i am deaf...lol...i still love her...she could sing the telephone book and i would love it!!
OMG, I cant beleive u have this. I love who ever posted this video up. If u have anymore with Frenchie and her past performances with Star in a Million, please post them up!!!!! Thanx again.
U also have to put into account that this was years ago, when she first went into the SIAM contest. Now...im sure she can do this song really well. For example the on in Wowowee.
Yes, ur right that her name was also taken from Frenchie Davis', but why does it matter? They r both amazing singers. They r excellent power belters. Im sure that both of them, wudnt mind having their names the same.
Shes staring in a Broadway musical called Avenue Q along with Aiza Seguerra and RAchelle Alejandro. I hope she will do well with her performances. And I cant wait to watch it.
If you didnt realize...many of the singers in this industry are mildy overweight but still sing fantasticly. Aretha Franklin, Jennifer Hudson, etc. This was back then when she joined a singing competition. If you heard her now you would probably change your mind. And if you think you can do any better, let us all hear how good of a singer you are.
But u have to give her credit for this song. She wasnt as good of a singer as today. That was when she was in the finals. I totally agree with u, that some notes were off, and that the song sounded different. But she still tried her best.
Wow...thanx for the really bad comment...u do realize that this was a few years ago, when she first joined SIAM. I even admit that this wasnt her best rendition, but she has sung this song b4, and it is amazing. So shut ur mouth.
Fair enough. Srry for the intrusion. I know that ur giving great criticism and I respect that. Frenchie has the expertise of a great performer. Her Raindrops Will Fall performance was very inspirational.
meron siyang flat sa "darling there's no WAY" at may maraming siyang flaws sa pagkanta ng awiting ito pero ang galing pa rin ang performance niya.., as in.., kahit meron pa siyang mga flaws.., napahanga pa rin niya ako.., :D
i know.., even during the contest.., she improved like in raindrops will fall.., she learned how to use chest tone.., but we are not talking about what she is now right? what im talking about is her performance in this song.., :D
I agree with you to a certain extent. The only thing is that the singers from GMA7 dont get that much exposure internationally than singers in ABS. Kapamilya ako. I agree that the treatment Frenchie is getting, not getting any exposure is unfair, but I dont think it would be best for GMA7 to take her.
Srry man. But on Limewire theres only 2 songs by her. She doesnt have an album yet, so her singing isnt quite broadcasted through the world yet. Just wait and be patient.
Correct me if i'm wrong, pero this was before dream girls, right? Frenchie is amazing! I mean, the song is really hard to sing. Jennifer Hudson's career was catapulted with her performance with this song. I feel na ang version ni Frenchie ay kasing ganda ng kay j.hudson. Go frenchie!
where did the video of closer to you or whatever it was called....that was my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!! i am gonna cry!!!! is there a website i can go to to download some mp3's of frenchie?
to shingha30... ei hindi po cia pinabayan ng abs-cbn. d pa lng tlga kaya ni frenchi ng maraming shows kc ung nangyari sa kanya, cguro aware kayo, that was way back a year ata, pero kailangan lng tlga alalay sa sked.. saka abroad bookings marami cia...
Haha...well said...I dont totally agree with ur comment, tho I dont totally disagree as well. Tho u probably dont even care...This isnt Frenchie's best performance, however as of now, Im sure she can do way better. From other performances that I have heard, I totally agree that there were some flaws in it. But we're all human. peace
listen well instead. not letting your fan instinct kick in right away. she sounded with hoarse voice and yelling. been listening to a lot singers singing this song. check my collections. you'll know i can tell. but i like frenchie among few filipina singers. but this one oh my....
#1, this was Frenchie a few years ago. IF she sang that song now, it wud be much better. #2, i saw that vid u were talkign about. If u think that this vid was all shout, that vid was ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLll shout. I luv both Jonayln and Regine, but there was not much emotion in that rendition at all. It was all belting.
Mas kakaiba pa rin si regine ,velasquez yung and im telling you nya search nyo and im telling you most requested concert ,,,Grabe Kasi halos yung first version nya nakakanta na ngayun kaya ayun gumawa si regine nang veraion
Misspeckpeck! The sound quality of this clip is very bad so do not judge her by this! I got headache listening to this though, LOLs. But in my opinion, she is one hell of a great singer! Mataba lang siya kaya di sumikat ng husto!
Though I love Frenchie Dy, this isnt her best performance and rendition of And Now I Am Telling You. When she sings her tone is kind of off, but of course, if she sang it now, she'll probably be way better.
I guess for me it depends on my mood. I prefer Frenchie's tho. Tamyra's is more for soul and down to earth, whereas Frenchie's is more divaish and belty.
she really has many flats and desafinados.., and the reason is that she is belting out through out the song.., its just good that she didnt croak.., if she just controlled her voice a bit.., her tonal quality would've been better.., but still.., this is an impressive and powerful performance..,
ito ang tunay na belter, walang sinabi c regine velatquez sa kanya, talagang alikabok lang ang galing ni regine, parang kalingkingan lang siya ni regine, hayyyyyy talaga, totoo lang naman, hindi lang siya nabigyan ng break gaya nina sarah g.
meaning nung kinanta nya sa asian song festival (sans the new nose) o nung kinanta niya sa mga concerts niya lately nung sumikat ulit yung kanta (nung nagpaimprove siya ng nose)?
why does she need to lose weight? i hope people will just grow up and stop taking other people's talents for granted because they don't have the look. look at regine, she's fat but we don't mind! cuz she has the talent!
u obviously havent heard jhud live to have such innane drivel coming from you.. jhud is one of the BEST belters if u havent already known.. her chest range is way out of frenchie's league.. not that i hate frenchie, i think she is great. i just cant stand it when people dont know what they are talking about and just make crass comments
i beg to disagree na walang sinabi si regine kay frenchie eh yung version nga ni regine na on the wings of love sa highest part hindi kya ni frenchie tpos sasabihing alikabok lng si regine kay frenchie but i love frenchie its just dont compare ok.
True. I wud have to admit this is one of Frenchie's worst performances. But its understandable, since she only started singing the competition. She gets better along the competition. And as of now, she is truly amazing.
I luv her! I watched the every breath you take malltour in starmall alabang and she sang rolling in the deep there. It was just awesome. Superb!
Grabe! Lufet ni frenchie!!! I think she's the best Star in a Million Grand Champ ever!
Yeah...I remember this too. It was a really close match. Michael Cruz won this with his text votes, whereas Frenchie Dy won with her superb vocal talent. They cant not take her and they couldnt to not take Michael, since he got so many votes. But they were both amazing. Im just glad Frenchie was taken as well.
WOW!
Frenchie is really great! I love her. Frenchie, Mau and Lani are my favorite. They have the soulful voices soaring and cascading beautifully!
Go Frenchie!! You're the BEST SINGER EVER!!
yes.. she's so versatile. she can even sing MC's hard songs like butterfly.
Agreed. She is most likely WAY better than before, recovering from her sickness. But that was a year ago. She has been getting opportunities such as Avenue Q, which is great and some guestings in Wowowee. But with her talent, I think she deserves more.
Bravoooooo!! A salute to the Filipino Talents... making us PROUD to be a Filipino saan man sa MUNDO.... keep up the good work.. GOD bless us always
she really deserves to win in that contest! superb! every time i hear her sing i'm always captivated...clap clap! a big round of applause! go girl! when will be the release of ur album?
U can stand on my pedestal! I love you! I am always your fan since the beginning of your career!
LOL, ur so right. She cud honestly just sing practically anything and it wud be so beautiful.
Magaling talaga si Frenchie... She's an unsung yet should-be-renounced vocal coach... She coached Sarah G before...
sia na talaga bet ko from the start sa star in a million... the best!
now it sounds like she said i JUST wanna be free...lol...maybe i am deaf...lol...i still love her...she could sing the telephone book and i would love it!!
OMG, I cant beleive u have this. I love who ever posted this video up. If u have anymore with Frenchie and her past performances with Star in a Million, please post them up!!!!! Thanx again.
very correct.., thats why is really is my favorite song.., :D
August 20 2020

Jennifer Hudson of the Philippines
effie white of the philippines..
haha...kind of agree with me...haha...thats ok...only a select few people agree with me, when it cums to singing or singers...
Go go go, Girl!
Huh? She did say "I Dont Want To Be Free". Watch it again and listen very carefully. Hope u can catch it.
2020 anyone?
meron siyang flat sa "darling there's no WAY" at may maraming siyang flaws sa pagkanta ng awiting ito pero ang galing pa rin ang performance niya.., as in.., kahit meron pa siyang mga flaws.., napahanga pa rin niya ako.., :D
GO Frenchie!!!!!
i know.., even during the contest.., she improved like in raindrops will fall.., she learned how to use chest tone.., but we are not talking about what she is now right? what im talking about is her performance in this song.., :D
wow!im a fan of mau..but frenchie's rendition of this song is far more better than hers... *applause*

awesome...
This is VERY GOOD... But I think SHE CAN DO BETTER NOW COMPARED BEFORE. Keep it up Frenchie
Dont wrry im sure that she'll get one soon. She recently just changed managers with Boy Abunda. Its almost guarenteed if she has him...hopefully...
where did the video of closer to you or whatever it was called....that was my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!! i am gonna cry!!!! is there a website i can go to to download some mp3's of frenchie?
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
SANG SISTA SANG!
to shingha30... ei hindi po cia pinabayan ng abs-cbn. d pa lng tlga kaya ni frenchi ng maraming shows kc ung nangyari sa kanya, cguro aware kayo, that was way back a year ata, pero kailangan lng tlga alalay sa sked.. saka abroad bookings marami cia...
i love both.., tamyra's may be more of quality but frenchie's is more ranging.., :D
this just shows that you don't need runs to be a great singeer....
I agree with the melody part. But come on, give her a break. I also want to bur her album!!!
Favourite song? Question..who's rendition do u prefer? Frenchie's or Tamyra's?
i kinda agree with you..,
Hi December 30, 2019..
Haha...well said...I dont totally agree with ur comment, tho I dont totally disagree as well. Tho u probably dont even care...This isnt Frenchie's best performance, however as of now, Im sure she can do way better. From other performances that I have heard, I totally agree that there were some flaws in it. But we're all human. peace
GALING, MAGALING>>>>
that voie would take her to american idol finalis. Not to mention not too many filipinos sound like black people. Excuse me language/
May 31, 2019
hanep
she is supposed to scream....she is saying she is NOT going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
listen well instead. not letting your fan instinct kick in right away. she sounded with hoarse voice and yelling. been listening to a lot singers singing this song. check my collections. you'll know i can tell. but i like frenchie among few filipina singers. but this one oh my....
Do u have any recordings of ExtraChallenge? Hope that u would post them up.
#1, this was Frenchie a few years ago. IF she sang that song now, it wud be much better. #2, i saw that vid u were talkign about. If u think that this vid was all shout, that vid was ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLll shout. I luv both Jonayln and Regine, but there was not much emotion in that rendition at all. It was all belting.
Well it was gud, but i wudnt say her best. Sure it may have been ok in comparison to Jennifer's, but if wud have sang it now, it wud be way better.
galing nya asan na kaya sya
Mas kakaiba pa rin si regine ,velasquez yung and im telling you nya search nyo and im telling you most requested concert
,,,Grabe
Kasi halos yung first version nya nakakanta na ngayun kaya ayun gumawa si regine nang veraion
she said i just wanna be free instead of i don't wanna be free...lol
shes good unfortunately no album has come yet when

bading si frenchie dy!!
she really has many flats and desafinados.., and the reason is that she is belting out through out the song.., its just good that she didnt croak.., if she just controlled her voice a bit.., her tonal quality would've been better.., but still.., this is an impressive and powerful performance..,

Oh talaga?? Anyare ngayon mas nauna si Regine hahahah pero mas nauna pa silang malaos kesa kay Regine.
Haay hindi ganito ang emotion behind this song. Wala p dn mkkapantay kay Jennifer Holiday.
pre-op! haha
meaning nung kinanta nya sa asian song festival (sans the new nose) o nung kinanta niya sa mga concerts niya lately nung sumikat ulit yung kanta (nung nagpaimprove siya ng nose)?
Sino?
coz the audio is not good... i saw this performance better....
why does she need to lose weight? i hope people will just grow up and stop taking other people's talents for granted because they don't have the look. look at regine, she's fat but we don't mind! cuz she has the talent!
I wudnt necessarily say that she kept on screaming. She did have a few flat and sharp notes here and there, but come on, she tried.
hehe.., ok.., :D
What do mean, who's gypher? Pls tell me!!!
A step? Do u mean an octave lower?...
u obviously havent heard jhud live to have such innane drivel coming from you..
jhud is one of the BEST belters if u havent already known..
her chest range is way out of frenchie's league..
not that i hate frenchie, i think she is great.
i just cant stand it when people dont know what they are talking about and just make crass comments
i beg to disagree na walang sinabi si regine kay frenchie eh yung version nga ni regine na on the wings of love sa highest part hindi kya ni frenchie tpos sasabihing alikabok lng si regine kay frenchie but i love frenchie its just dont compare ok.
negrang negra boses nya...mas mganda pa kesa ung sa dream
girls..hehehehe
ano daw sabi sa baba?!? "what is worthed?" damn! kakapikon!
better than jennifer hudson
san kaya nia nakukuha ung boses nia noh? ^_^
th-cam.com/video/TZCBxKyWkZs/w-d-xo.html still wala padin pinag bago idol ko
dont disagree with me please, but she sounded like the original singer...
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR
@axeindota i dont think so...
ano ka ba! hindi tumitili si regine! she shouts!
hoi di sya nasigaw no... alam mo b anu side ni frenchy sa wonders of th world sya nag peperform.... alam mo b un
i like mau's performance more...
pls watch the vid of my cousins thank you
True. I wud have to admit this is one of Frenchie's worst performances. But its understandable, since she only started singing the competition. She gets better along the competition. And as of now, she is truly amazing.
regine pre-op or post-op?
That's her real name...
haha, i stand corrected... hindi pala real name yun... XD
dont ever compare frenchie to j. hudson because j. hudson cant sing this song live... hahahaha filipina rocks.....
