Foreigners: filipinos are the best singer, But here in the philippines, when you sing they will shout and say: “Uulan na naman" ; “The Typhoon is coming" 😂
I’m half Filipino, born and raised in Denmark, far away from the Philippines. I grew up with a love for singing, and it wasn’t until my first trip to the Philippines at age 13 I realised, that I had found my true people!! Today I’m in several bands, as a singer of course :)
ellen de genres also mention that on her show, i think it was 2009 when she said that if you want to find great singers go to philippines :)..actually filipinos sings while cooking , taking a bath, washing dishes, changing their clothes, while butchering chicken, feeding their dogs, etc. and it will be chaos if theres no karaoke on a birthday party,wedding, family reunion etc...wow they really love music hahahaha!!!
Nice observation. However, take note that before karaoke came, Filipinos were already on music mode. Barkadas or group of friends used to sit on a store bench with guitars in hand singing while drinking. Later when the sun goes down they would go to a girlfriend's or any girl's house and serenade her with romantic songs. This practice has lost steam with the advent of karaoke.
Same here, yeah you're right. Long before Spanish era Filipino asked to entertain Spaniards maybe one of the reason we love entertainment dance/sing/drama - history..
Filipinos are naturally of happy disposition. When you sing alone or with the group this shows so much to the extend that the group is contaminated. The barkadas enjoy the laughter. In my case I taught my children how to sing with the karaoke. My eldest can sing the like of Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick and even Eydie Gorme. The family is her avid fan.
Justo Sanz yah even before the advent of karaoke ..pinoys are into singing na ..basta may gitara sa mga inuman ..kahit walang pulutan solb na un ..hehe
Also, a Filipino by the name of Roberto del Rosario invented Karaoke. It was called Sing Along System, but a Japanese stole the idea and called it Karaoke.
peoupy p I remember the Sing Along. Before the world had Karaoke, we've already had the Sing Along. Growing up, I remember we used to call it Sing Along but of course it was Japan who had the capability to mass produce this kind of machine, call it a different name, market it to the world, and no wonder why Karaoke is now the accepted name for it in the Philippines.
WARNING: Contain useless info about Philippines. Ummm... Not all Pilipino are good at singing (look at most of our celebrities who lip synch, mostly actors), but we are passionate and given the chance, will sing anywhere. And from our vintage movie to recent 90's generation family movies, they will always insert a musical (and let's just say it's no Bollywood). In grade school, singing is 1/3rd of a subject, called MAPE (which is Music, Arts, and Physical Education). And English is our second language, which helps for communication and belting out our favorite English songs. And that's why we can sing in English almost perfectly
Unbelievable that just a few days ago I was watching lots of Filipino singers on TH-cam and thinking all the exact same things he just said. And I mean everything. I know the Filipino culture very well as my sweet loving and gorgeous wife is a Filipina. They also make the very best wives in the whole world!
hahahaha.i was working before as data encoder.i do sing too while typing.hahahahhaha.momost of my office mate sings.hahahaha.thanks fo4 making m recall it.
Very true, but I think that's part of my second point in discussing the type of songs Filipinos generally choose to sing which are ofter very much "singer's songs" like love songs, epic ballads ...etc.
Nope, our water is natural water that God gave us. No artificial. Just listen to him on this video, all good points was already pointed. We dont have vocal coaches, but we can sing nicely and accurately.
Definitely, I thought of that as well. That's more of a reason why they stand out here on TH-cam as well as internationally because Filipinos sing more fluently in English than most other nationalities (especially in Asia).
because that's not our language. go tell SINGERS in your country to sing Filipino/Tagalog songs. and the thing is MOST FAMOUS SONGS were written in English and MOST FAMOUS SINGERS speaks ENGLISH. thats why filipinos stand out here in youtube and other International Competition because we can speak/understand ENGLISH. do you get my point? for me we are all equal, there is no such thing as only filipinos are best singers in the world.
JE ER Yeah, a lot of us can speak fluent English. Maybe there's been something in our culture after some wars and friendship with the Americans. Yes,I am Filipino!
David, i am a malaysian, i agree with u 110% . My most..💑💑💑💑 entertainer is Charice, i still keep on listening to her song until now 2019. I really really miss charice.😂😂😂
Born in the States, I moved to the Philippines in the 60s at age 10 and what astounded me was that at every corner I saw someone strumming a guitar. I was introduced to "Songhits" a chord book published on a regular basis which meant that there was a demand for it. And 6 years later, I picked up a guitar and taught myself how to play.....How? With one of those chord books that had a sheet complete with basic chords. Ariel Urreta introduced the word " -1 " on Philippine TV. He explained it was music minus the voice.....Karaoke today.
I believe they still sell them "Songhits" at ShoeMart Mall when i was in Iloilo on vacation a long time ago. It's not in a magazine format like they used to, but last time i bought 3 of them, they're in a book form, a thick one with all the songs you could imagine, in English and Tagalog. Yup, we Filipinos love music from the Carpenters' Top of the World to Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven. And of course generations up from Kulintang, to the Filipino folk songs, to the present, Filipinos appreciated good music who have listened to Nora Aunor, Victor Wood, Eddie Perigrina, Freddie Aguilar, Mike Hanopol, Sampaguita, Claire, Boyfriends, Hotdog, Rico Puno, Pilita Corrales, Florante, and these are just the few, at least to me, most influential. Nora Aunor, Victor Wood and Eddie Perigrina mostly sang covers of popular standards from the United States, but what set them apart were their voice, and I may put Pilita Corrales in this group. They were ahead of my time, but even then, as a kid, our neighbors would play songs on a record player (or should i say, phono player? Our neighbors were kinda rich, so they can afford to buy these records!), and through time the songs get stucked in the memory. Now, they're on TH-cam and listening to them, just bring good memories of childhood. Remembering, I see myself passing through their front yard hoping that someone is playing music, and just how many times I have done that! I grew up listening to the Seventies/Eighties music, when on the scene singing purely Tagalog at that time, there was Freddie Aguilar, Florante, Mike Hanopol, Sampaguita, Boyfriends, Basil Valdez, Coritha, Asin, but there was just so many!!!! Hahaa! And now they're all here TH-cam! We even have our very own humorous Filipino Yoyoy Villame who had way, way done things before Weird Al Yankovic had parodied contemporary songs in America! Mabuhay! :)
When I was 17 I was employed in a popularice cream kiosk here in Davao City. It was fronting a record bar,. I heard all this kind of music at 8am down to 10pm. And that was for 6 years. Now I still have the collection of records on a plate disc. They are my treasure.
@@Forever-iz2dv search marcelito pomoy , morisette amon, and zephanie. Philippines roberto del rosario is the filipino who invented karaoke. Singing is very common
also unlike in other countries where people are a bit shy to sing, specially in public since they fear being teased, in the Philippines, whether you have a good voice or even outright tone deaf, you can sing to your heart's content. whether it be in a drunken party singing karaoke at somebody's house, karaoke bars with your friends or co-workers, or even in a public bar or club and singing on stage with a real live band, just go up and people will appreciate your effort. some singers get discovered just singing karaoke in the mall!! music is simply a part of everyday Filipino culture.
Yeah it really is a part of every filipinos life.. Though with a filipino boy with a female voice, well that's a pain in the neck.. people always tease you.... Good thing it changed around 2009 and everybody here is more open minded.. ^_^ If that time was socially accepted back on 2000, I wouldve improved my singing hehehe
Albert Stefani........Every now and then someone has to say some nonsense comment, it just so happened that for now, it's you with your subjective, moronic and irrational statement. :-) BOOOOM! troll guy......
David DiMuzio It was funny that you are comparing Filipinos with other Asians. Philippines was colonized by the Portuguese for almost 500 years sure they sang way better than most Asians coz that is the only way to make a living. Try not to be a bias
I remember when a joined a kik groupchat full of foreigners. They asked me "Where are u from?" i said "The Philippines" and one of em asked me this "Can u sing?" when i told him that i can he was just like "I knew it, cuz you're a Filipino " 😂 and yup i was born year 2000, but my playlist is all music from the 80's and 70's 😂
I was born 1981, 35. Though my playlist is versatile, I am more on 70s and the 80s, part 90s. James Ingram, Barry Manilow, David Gates. I think It's because of the professional mix esp 80s. When you are to listen with headphones, you will really hear and feel the surround and proper panning and positioning of instruments and vocals. 2000 have hightech recording studios with all those computers. But 70s and 80s are perfectly engineered music recording.
D Nocturnal dont be embarrassed songs in the 1980s and 1970s is better than the crappy hip hop songs they have and african americans broke the music history because of theyre raps it caused so much attention back then. It wasnt that bad as it is now
when the video karaoke machines are not made yet Filipinos used guitars and sing a long together almost everyday with family and relatives, they most of the time change the lyrics of the songs to their own dialect and made it fun and nice to hear. Filipinos living in the mountains still doing this jamming even some people in the city. After guitars Filipino used cassettes - side A and B tape to record their voice, they love to play it one more time after singing until the video karaoke machine was made. Now, there are Filipinos who are enjoying singing together using instruments in a band...Like live bands... They play the instruments together and sing like a live band does, but its only for fun, like friends gathering..
Why, cuz Filipinos are emotional people. We sing when we're happy, we sing when we're sad. We sing anthing and we dont stop singing. The best thing about being a Filipino is that you can sing OPM and also English songs cuz you're can speak both languages.
Filipinos are not only gifted with talents in singing and dancing. They are also great imitators and impersonators. Its not to surprising to see kids singing difficult songs of Streisand, Whitney and other great singers. They can learn and sing songs of these artists by merely listening. I think many Filipinos are born with talent.
Rah rah-If you think your descendants are WAY better than us,believe that.The guy who made this video is not Filipino so I'm sure he's not bias.You bet I'm laughing at you.
*Yeah we sing at Karaoke hahaha😂😂😂 Even in Bath Room hahaha😂😂😂* *im also a Filipino like it if your a Filipino hahaha😂😂😂* *Im also a good singer hahaha*
I'm no filipino but i also do the same thing in the bathroom. I feel like everytime i enter the bathroom i feel like i was already in a world tour. Hehe i think it's weird but that actually how it makes me feel. I feel like i'm a filipino now? Btw love ur country! I wish i'm a filipino. Hi! from UK 💕
95% OF PILIPINOS HAVE NO FORMAL SINGING LESSONS OR COACH, WE SING BECAUSE WE LOVE TO SING, THATS IT... WHEN WE HEARD SOMEONE SINGING...IT SINK IN OUR HEART AND MIND SO FAST, SPECIALLY WHEN WE LOVE THE SONG... AND AUTOMATICALLY WE SING AND OWN THE SONG AS IT WAS MADE FOR OUR OWNSELVES...THATS WHY WHEN WE SING , YOU WILL HEAR AND FEEL IT DEEPLY IN YOUR HEART, IT IS OUR WAY TO COMMUNICATE TO ALL HUMAN BEING....WE PILIPINOS ARE BORN SINGER...
WE SING? YOU SING? 95% HAVE NO FORMAL TRAINING, THAT IS WHY 95% OF FILIPINO CANNOT SING... LOTS CAN SING,, BUT NOT ALL,,, TELL ONLY THE TRUTH.,, WHAT ABOUT YOU? CAN YOU SING? I AM SURE ,, YOU CANNOT SING!!
@@prophettruth1923 Salty much? Are you sad because you can't sing as good as us Filipinos? 99% of your country's people use autotune bc of insecurities. Our country uses natural beauty. Plus, I can sing great (according to everyone I know). Do research first.
Great insight. #2 makes the most sense. Filipinos are just naturally very good at adaptation and emulation. When Filipinos settle in a different country, they never really have a hard time settling in because they quickly adapt to the culture, language, mannerisms and demeanors of the locals. You will rarely find a Filipino living overseas who does not speak the foreign language -- we are really good at adapting to new environments.
Agreed especially on your first reason : family support. Plus, I would like to add that Filipinos have been singing and playing instruments few centuries back. Kundiman, Rondalla, Kulintang music and other folk music, etc. Filipinos also love heavy metal and alternative rock (Wolfgang , Eraserheads, Razorback, etc.) Sadly, music nowadays are full of crap and flesh!
To add as part of culture, I rarely hear in Tagalog "I can't sing." It's usually "I'm not good." Slight change in wording but drastic in mindset! One suggests that there are people who do not have the ability to sing AT ALL. The other suggests that everyone can sing, but some are just better at it!
rythem n blues You don’t know anything about us Filipinos. And also before you hate and say rubbish things about us, LEARN HOW TO SPELL RIGHT BEFORE YOU COMMENT.
hi there you forgot about singing competitions here in the philippines ...hahaha in every town there is like a singing contest..and it is something that every town in the philippines do every year not to mention national and international competitions..hahaha
Yes, for sure that's a big reason, but that also sort of falls under my first reason of "Karaoke" ...because it's still just Karaoke, just in a competitive form.
David DiMuzio i totally agree on the singing contest..tv's , radio stations...everybody are motivated to sing...thank you sir and more power to you from Vienna
David DiMuzio i totally agree on the singing contest..tv's , radio stations...everybody are motivated to sing...thank you sir and more power to you from Vienna
during my elementary years 70's our class starts always with anybody from the class to volunteer to sing solo rendering one's best song, so we grow up that singing is part of our daily activities in school, at that time karaoke is not yet in existence, where our place in Mindanao the only entertainment we have is the singing contest every sunday., and the money reward is quite an accomplishment for the kids who will be the champion for that week.
Had to clap when you said Karaoke, David...it's definitely true. While I don't have a karaoke machine or magic mic myself, my parents have one, and my sisters grew up using it and selecting tagalog songs from it for performances, and stuff... I just sing along to karaoke videos on youtube, lolz...especially the tagalog ones
You're RIGHT !! .... Philippines have more than 100+ choirs ..... 👍👍✔ Singing is part of Filipino Culture ... Filipinos are GREAT SINGERS for example ?? Lea Salonga who's the voice who sang Reflection in the movie Mulan , Janella Salvador who sang How far I'll go in the movie MOANA , Rachel Ann Go who's now part of the Les Miserable the Musical , and many more
I totally agree with what you said about Filipinos like to sing 80's or 90's songs. If there's a party, it is important to have a karaoke for bonding. If they get drunk, they will usually sing slow rock musics like Scorpions, Bon Jovi or Guns n roses. Haha.. i dont think someone ever tried to sing one of Bon Jovi's songs in the singing contest, is it?
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm pinoy and I've been a successful neighborhood country music bar star for close to 50 years of my 73 years. Thank you again for your wonderful words.
Don't normally comment, but felt like stepping in to give my two cents. And I can't sleep.Having traveled to over half of your haul, what makes Filipinos perceived to be 'great singers' is that the barometer or standard used in this analysis is that of western, specifically, American pop music and songs. So the no. 1 reason, really, for me, is that Filipino 'pop' music and songs are influenced by the likes of Celine Dion (French-Canadian), Journey, Whitney Houston, etc. Filipinos are great singers, as far as the standard mentioned above.Now step back for a bit -- if you go to Sri Lanka, Japan, Nepal, India (North, South, Central), Bangladesh, etc. etc. -- these countries have a defined music culture of their own (ok, Bangladesh and Nepal pop culture is very Indian). But the point is, their standard of what is a 'good' or a 'great' singer is very alien to what is western or American. I did not hear Let It Go in Nepal, nor did I hear Don't Stop Believin' there. But I heard amazing vocalists with so much soul, particularly in Sri Lanka. Listen to Hindi music, or a Tamil song in the South (Sri Lanka or Maldives), or a pop song in Thailand, these have great nasal and/or throat runs to die for, it's just that the songs are not familiar nor are heard.Furthermore, Filipinos, like its neighbors and racial siblings Malaysians, Thais... ok, even Vietnamese and Cambodians, have the classic South East Asian physical built which impacts how the neck is built, and how their voices are developed. Throw in the ENGLISH language and 'American' diction here, you get a perfect combination of a speaking and at that, singing, voice that is highly nasal with great head control. Now train these Filipinos classically or karaoke-wise, wherein the voice should come from the diaphragm, you get a superb combination of East and West wherein the usually hard to achieve head sounds are just normal, the falsettos and runs are as if normal or organic (even the boys), and then you get the mesmerizing growls and power via the diaphragm. Last, throw in the Spanish (still Western) element of being romantic - you have a perfect singer who is A+ in all fronts: technically good as a vocalist, who sings familiar pop English songs, with seemingly so much soul.So, no Filipinos are not the greatest singers -- we just happen to be, in the ears of those that are familiar of the songs we normally sing. What would be amazing is if people invest in their cultural capital, and see that, hey, there is a big world out there - there is so much music, not just the pop ones we normally hear played in malls, television and jeepneys. Thanks for the time reading, appreciate it.
Your right.. I watch music videos or anything that involves singing.. In almost all languages.. I could tell Filipinos are really great at singing. Others only became famous because of their song.. Not their voices.. And besides, other countries uses auto-tuning and etc.. Filipinos don't , you can recognize everytime they sing.. But I'm not saying Filipinos are the greatest.. I'm just sharing my opinion..
I absolutely agree! So much fun living and singing in the Philippines! Yes, we have a karaoke machine at home! Yes, whenever the family is here, we sing. While watching this video, someone down the street was singing karaoke. Also, someone riding by on a motorcycle was singing. That's the Filipino way!
Don’t give the microphone to a filipino in the competition you will blow your mind. A lot of filipino train well into karaoke as a tradition in the Philippines 🇵🇭 . 😊
Thanks for the compliment to Filipino singers. Apart from the factors you shared that make Filipinos good in singing, here are my points: 1. Historically we have so much culture because of the “visitors” from different countries - Spain, Dutch, USA, Japan, China, etc. Exposure to their culture helped us adapt to different methods of expression, most especially singing. 2. Filipinos are romantic (which you pointed out too), and to sing songs like those would require a whole voice range compared to fast pop. 3. Most of us live simple lives which will lead us to connect with family and friends more through activities that would have us share our talent. Hence “videoke” in almost any event or celebration is required because it doesn’t have us Filipinos spend too much. Videoke set, food, drinks and friends or family at home - a complete setup. 4. The Filipino language plays a factor too because it is mixed and continues to evolved with other languages. Filipinos have an idea of diction or enunciation that helps the range of how we speak or sing in different languages apart from our own almost clearly. I just wanted to share what I thought, but I truly appreciate your detailed views.👏🏻🇵🇭
And this video proves why David is the best TH-camr in the world Edit: Also becuz we can hit high notes 🎶 without vocal lessons Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 💝💕❤️
All points considered.... i think you hit the nail on the head. I grew up in Philippines until 14, so these are my personal memories of how it was. Its fair to say, you're not a Filipino unless you havent done karaoke. But i think its just part of everyday Filipino life to sing. Biirthdays, funerals, shopping malls, clubs even beach resorts and everywhere in phils have karaokes everywhere. Singing is always encouraged and seen very positively. Imagine living in a country where everytime you turn on the television; most likely there is someone singing.
Hope you'll share on FB/Twitter if you agree. I think it's time we put more thought into people's talent and appreciate it from where it really comes from which is culture, support, and hard work and not just a stroke of DNA luck.
Great analysis. All true. Haha. But I think my only criticism with Filipino musicians is there is not enough original song material that have become hits out there. Nothing that the world can point to and say that was a Filipino written song. They need to come out with more original music that can reach out to the world.
We just simply love American and English type of music. Most Filipino think that pop music must be anything like music in America. If music producers, tagalog or English OPM, arrange it like Asian, it certainly would not sell.
Hewbhurt Gabon - I disagree. There are a lot of foreign music that are good and is well known internationally. When you hear it you can actually pinpoint that it came from that country because it's well known. Filipinos just have to figure out a way to make a catchy sound. It doesn't matter if that original Filipino song borrows a certain sound from other countries but as long as its original Filipino written it would be a HiT. Even other countries have borrowed a certain sound from other countries and have made it their own. Do you get what I'm saying?
devonferris .you heard of anb or junior living in spain and married to the late great fkamenco singer rocio durcal he us a filipinno with great compositions in tagalig english and spanish amb is antonio morales barreto
Filipino singers are so versatile that they can sing all types of genre of music. They're everywhere around Asia and part of the Middle East. If you go to the clubs/ bars, cruise ships, hotels etc, most of the singers you meet are Filipinos. Blacks are great soul singers (and best voice in my opinion) but Filipinos are a total entertainers.
One more thing is the pressure,,, When you're a Filipino and you can sing, dont just be a good singer, you have to be GREAT because no one will recognize you if you only have a talent and not the skills.
That's true Filipinos practice with old songs because the flow and rythms are much easier and good to practice and in that we become better I'm from a family filled with musicians and vocal coaches so yeaah😂 (My grandfather's brother composed pen pen de sarapen just sharin')
Singing is our way of life! "Music is the medicine of my soul" + Master RBE Jr. Singing relieves stress and neutralizes negative energies! Music is our way of expression!
Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Mishovy Silenosti must be destroyed HA! ME DUMB? How about you read your sentiment again? Get your grammars right dumbshit!
Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Mishovy Silenosti must be destroyed not all Filipinos are dumb. And don't blame the country, blame the government. Don't disrespect anime too. You don't see us anime lovers disrespecting your likes right? Then why don't you do the same. And it's so unprofessional to say that Filipinos are uneducated. There is a lot of technology in the Philippines. There are many scientists in the Philippines that invented things. You saying that the Philippines is uneducated is making me believe that YOU are the one who is uneducated.
Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Mishovy Silenosti must be destroyed not product it's actually the incubator. And there's a scientist who discovered a planet orbiting near Earth. She named it Planet Biyo.

Nope, our water is natural water that God gave us. No artificial. Just listen to him on this video, all good points was already pointed. We dont have vocal coaches, but we can sing nicely and accurately.

Toxic filipino culture kamo
another reason is filipinos can understand/speak english fluently in neutral accent.
Definitely, I thought of that as well. That's more of a reason why they stand out here on TH-cam as well as internationally because Filipinos sing more fluently in English than most other nationalities (especially in Asia).
JE ER filipinos are excellent when it comes to Adaptation. ;)
because that's not our language. go tell SINGERS in your country to sing Filipino/Tagalog songs. and the thing is MOST FAMOUS SONGS were written in English and MOST FAMOUS SINGERS speaks ENGLISH. thats why filipinos stand out here in youtube and other International Competition because we can speak/understand ENGLISH. do you get my point? for me we are all equal, there is no such thing as only filipinos are best singers in the world.
ok dude i surrender u won. hands up.
JE ER
Yeah, a lot of us can speak fluent English. Maybe there's been something in our culture after some wars and friendship with the Americans. Yes,I am Filipino!

Sadly karaoke is patented to a Japanese😢
Born in the States, I moved to the Philippines in the 60s at age 10 and what astounded me was that at every corner I saw someone strumming a guitar. I was introduced to "Songhits" a chord book published on a regular basis which meant that there was a demand for it. And 6 years later, I picked up a guitar and taught myself how to play.....How? With one of those chord books that had a sheet complete with basic chords. Ariel Urreta introduced the word " -1 " on Philippine TV. He explained it was music minus the voice.....Karaoke today.
I believe they still sell them "Songhits" at ShoeMart Mall when i was in Iloilo on vacation a long time ago. It's not in a magazine format like they used to, but last time i bought 3 of them, they're in a book form, a thick one with all the songs you could imagine, in English and Tagalog. Yup, we Filipinos love music from the Carpenters' Top of the World to Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven. And of course generations up from Kulintang, to the Filipino folk songs, to the present, Filipinos appreciated good music who have listened to Nora Aunor, Victor Wood, Eddie Perigrina, Freddie Aguilar, Mike Hanopol, Sampaguita, Claire, Boyfriends, Hotdog, Rico Puno, Pilita Corrales, Florante, and these are just the few, at least to me, most influential. Nora Aunor, Victor Wood and Eddie Perigrina mostly sang covers of popular standards from the United States, but what set them apart were their voice, and I may put Pilita Corrales in this group. They were ahead of my time, but even then, as a kid, our neighbors would play songs on a record player (or should i say, phono player? Our neighbors were kinda rich, so they can afford to buy these records!), and through time the songs get stucked in the memory. Now, they're on TH-cam and listening to them, just bring good memories of childhood. Remembering, I see myself passing through their front yard hoping that someone is playing music, and just how many times I have done that! I grew up listening to the Seventies/Eighties music, when on the scene singing purely Tagalog at that time, there was Freddie Aguilar, Florante, Mike Hanopol, Sampaguita, Boyfriends, Basil Valdez, Coritha, Asin, but there was just so many!!!! Hahaa! And now they're all here TH-cam! We even have our very own humorous Filipino Yoyoy Villame who had way, way done things before Weird Al Yankovic had parodied contemporary songs in America! Mabuhay! :)
When I was 17 I was employed in a popularice cream kiosk here in Davao City. It was fronting a record bar,. I heard all this kind of music at 8am down to 10pm. And that was for 6 years. Now I still have the collection of records on a plate disc. They are my treasure.
Songhits and specially Jingle is how I learned how to play guitar.

also unlike in other countries where people are a bit shy to sing, specially in public since they fear being teased, in the Philippines, whether you have a good voice or even outright tone deaf, you can sing to your heart's content. whether it be in a drunken party singing karaoke at somebody's house, karaoke bars with your friends or co-workers, or even in a public bar or club and singing on stage with a real live band, just go up and people will appreciate your effort. some singers get discovered just singing karaoke in the mall!! music is simply a part of everyday Filipino culture.
I sing in Smule and even share it publicly in Faceook. And I am the blacksheep of my singing family. haha!
Yeah it really is a part of every filipinos life.. Though with a filipino boy with a female voice, well that's a pain in the neck.. people always tease you.... Good thing it changed around 2009 and everybody here is more open minded.. ^_^ If that time was socially accepted back on 2000, I wouldve improved my singing hehehe

David DiMuzio can you sing philipino songs
David DiMuzio YES PLEASE TRY SINGING FILIPINO SONGS!
Gerryberry omg you are so right😂😂
David DiMuzio It was funny that you are comparing Filipinos with other Asians. Philippines was colonized by the Portuguese for almost 500 years sure they sang way better than most Asians coz that is the only way to make a living. Try not to be a bias
TNT boys are the Filipino kids went many countries and they're so good in singing.
I remember when a joined a kik groupchat full of foreigners. They asked me "Where are u from?" i said "The Philippines" and one of em asked me this "Can u sing?" when i told him that i can he was just like "I knew it, cuz you're a Filipino " 😂 and yup i was born year 2000, but my playlist is all music from the 80's and 70's 😂
I was born 1981, 35. Though my playlist is versatile, I am more on 70s and the 80s, part 90s. James Ingram, Barry Manilow, David Gates. I think It's because of the professional mix esp 80s. When you are to listen with headphones, you will really hear and feel the surround and proper panning and positioning of instruments and vocals. 2000 have hightech recording studios with all those computers. But 70s and 80s are perfectly engineered music recording.

when the video karaoke machines are not made yet Filipinos used guitars and sing a long together almost everyday with family and relatives, they most of the time change the lyrics of the songs to their own dialect and made it fun and nice to hear. Filipinos living in the mountains still doing this jamming even some people in the city. After guitars Filipino used cassettes - side A and B tape to record their voice, they love to play it one more time after singing until the video karaoke machine was made. Now, there are Filipinos who are enjoying singing together using instruments in a band...Like live bands... They play the instruments together and sing like a live band does, but its only for fun, like friends gathering..
FILIPINO SQUAD WHERE YALL AT?? 😂😂🤘🏻

Why, cuz Filipinos are emotional people. We sing when we're happy, we sing when we're sad. We sing anthing and we dont stop singing. The best thing about being a Filipino is that you can sing OPM and also English songs cuz you're can speak both languages.
😥
every kanto in Philippines, there's as belter for sure.
Hahaha true
Filipinos are not only gifted with talents in singing and dancing. They are also great imitators and impersonators. Its not to surprising to see kids singing difficult songs of Streisand, Whitney and other great singers. They can learn and sing songs of these artists by merely listening. I think many Filipinos are born with talent.
They are great imitators alright and great LIARS.

Great insight. #2 makes the most sense. Filipinos are just naturally very good at adaptation and emulation. When Filipinos settle in a different country, they never really have a hard time settling in because they quickly adapt to the culture, language, mannerisms and demeanors of the locals. You will rarely find a Filipino living overseas who does not speak the foreign language -- we are really good at adapting to new environments.

Opinions
Agreed especially on your first reason : family support. Plus, I would like to add that Filipinos have been singing and playing instruments few centuries back. Kundiman, Rondalla, Kulintang music and other folk music, etc. Filipinos also love heavy metal and alternative rock (Wolfgang , Eraserheads, Razorback, etc.) Sadly, music nowadays are full of crap and flesh!
And there's also that one Filipino who can't sing and that's me 😭😭😭
Same here!
And me as well, hahaha...
Make it 4 haha
There were times that I thought of taking voice lessons. Because in parties or gathering, I am the onlyone who can’t sing 🤷♀️
@@avril2859 make it 5😂😂😂
To add as part of culture, I rarely hear in Tagalog "I can't sing." It's usually "I'm not good." Slight change in wording but drastic in mindset! One suggests that there are people who do not have the ability to sing AT ALL. The other suggests that everyone can sing, but some are just better at it!
+ClassicalToContemporary haha, great point!
ClassicalToContemporary so true. im one of the"not so good" but can sing and love to sing. :)

David DiMuzio i totally agree on the singing contest..tv's , radio stations...everybody are motivated to sing...thank you sir and more power to you from Vienna
during my elementary years 70's our class starts always with anybody from the class to volunteer to sing solo rendering one's best song, so we grow up that singing is part of our daily activities in school, at that time karaoke is not yet in existence, where our place in Mindanao the only entertainment we have is the singing contest every sunday., and the money reward is quite an accomplishment for the kids who will be the champion for that week.
Had to clap when you said Karaoke, David...it's definitely true. While I don't have a karaoke machine or magic mic myself, my parents have one, and my sisters grew up using it and selecting tagalog songs from it for performances, and stuff... I just sing along to karaoke videos on youtube, lolz...especially the tagalog ones
You're RIGHT !! .... Philippines have more than 100+ choirs ..... 👍👍✔ Singing is part of Filipino Culture ... Filipinos are GREAT SINGERS for example ?? Lea Salonga who's the voice who sang Reflection in the movie Mulan , Janella Salvador who sang How far I'll go in the movie MOANA , Rachel Ann Go who's now part of the Les Miserable the Musical , and many more
and ohh I forgot , Rachel Ann Go is also part of the Hamlet the Musical 😊👍✔
For me Rachel is definitely top 3 best. She totally blew me away when I first heard her live.
David DiMuzio She's truly one of the best 💖💖💖 ....
W E X X Y Correction. Janella didnt sang the exact song on Moana. She just made an cover. They didnt use it.
I totally agree with what you said about Filipinos like to sing 80's or 90's songs. If there's a party, it is important to have a karaoke for bonding. If they get drunk, they will usually sing slow rock musics like Scorpions, Bon Jovi or Guns n roses. Haha.. i dont think someone ever tried to sing one of Bon Jovi's songs in the singing contest, is it?
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm pinoy and I've been a successful neighborhood country music bar star for close to 50 years of my 73 years. Thank you again for your wonderful words.

Don't normally comment, but felt like stepping in to give my two cents. And I can't sleep.Having traveled to over half of your haul, what makes Filipinos perceived to be 'great singers' is that the barometer or standard used in this analysis is that of western, specifically, American pop music and songs. So the no. 1 reason, really, for me, is that Filipino 'pop' music and songs are influenced by the likes of Celine Dion (French-Canadian), Journey, Whitney Houston, etc. Filipinos are great singers, as far as the standard mentioned above.Now step back for a bit -- if you go to Sri Lanka, Japan, Nepal, India (North, South, Central), Bangladesh, etc. etc. -- these countries have a defined music culture of their own (ok, Bangladesh and Nepal pop culture is very Indian). But the point is, their standard of what is a 'good' or a 'great' singer is very alien to what is western or American. I did not hear Let It Go in Nepal, nor did I hear Don't Stop Believin' there. But I heard amazing vocalists with so much soul, particularly in Sri Lanka. Listen to Hindi music, or a Tamil song in the South (Sri Lanka or Maldives), or a pop song in Thailand, these have great nasal and/or throat runs to die for, it's just that the songs are not familiar nor are heard.Furthermore, Filipinos, like its neighbors and racial siblings Malaysians, Thais... ok, even Vietnamese and Cambodians, have the classic South East Asian physical built which impacts how the neck is built, and how their voices are developed. Throw in the ENGLISH language and 'American' diction here, you get a perfect combination of a speaking and at that, singing, voice that is highly nasal with great head control. Now train these Filipinos classically or karaoke-wise, wherein the voice should come from the diaphragm, you get a superb combination of East and West wherein the usually hard to achieve head sounds are just normal, the falsettos and runs are as if normal or organic (even the boys), and then you get the mesmerizing growls and power via the diaphragm. Last, throw in the Spanish (still Western) element of being romantic - you have a perfect singer who is A+ in all fronts: technically good as a vocalist, who sings familiar pop English songs, with seemingly so much soul.So, no Filipinos are not the greatest singers -- we just happen to be, in the ears of those that are familiar of the songs we normally sing. What would be amazing is if people invest in their cultural capital, and see that, hey, there is a big world out there - there is so much music, not just the pop ones we normally hear played in malls, television and jeepneys. Thanks for the time reading, appreciate it.
A very interesting and thoughtful perspective. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure. You're welcome.

Your right.. I watch music videos or anything that involves singing.. In almost all languages.. I could tell Filipinos are really great at singing. Others only became famous because of their song.. Not their voices.. And besides, other countries uses auto-tuning and etc.. Filipinos don't , you can recognize everytime they sing..
But I'm not saying Filipinos are the greatest.. I'm just sharing my opinion..

Thanks for the compliment to Filipino singers. Apart from the factors you shared that make Filipinos good in singing, here are my points:
1. Historically we have so much culture because of the “visitors” from different countries - Spain, Dutch, USA, Japan, China, etc. Exposure to their culture helped us adapt to different methods of expression, most especially singing.
2. Filipinos are romantic (which you pointed out too), and to sing songs like those would require a whole voice range compared to fast pop.
3. Most of us live simple lives which will lead us to connect with family and friends more through activities that would have us share our talent. Hence “videoke” in almost any event or celebration is required because it doesn’t have us Filipinos spend too much. Videoke set, food, drinks and friends or family at home - a complete setup.
4. The Filipino language plays a factor too because it is mixed and continues to evolved with other languages. Filipinos have an idea of diction or enunciation that helps the range of how we speak or sing in different languages apart from our own almost clearly.
I just wanted to share what I thought, but I truly appreciate your detailed views.👏🏻🇵🇭

anne curtis for example hahaha
Yup. When we're old enough to hold the milk bottle, we're old enough to hold a mic.😂😂
All points considered.... i think you hit the nail on the head.
I grew up in Philippines until 14, so these are my personal memories of how it was.
Its fair to say, you're not a Filipino unless you havent done karaoke.
But i think its just part of everyday Filipino life to sing. Biirthdays, funerals, shopping malls, clubs even beach resorts and everywhere in phils have karaokes everywhere.
Singing is always encouraged and seen very positively.
Imagine living in a country where everytime you turn on the television; most likely there is someone singing.
The love for music is in the blood of Filipino's and thats the secret.
so true
Hope you'll share on FB/Twitter if you agree. I think it's time we put more thought into people's talent and appreciate it from where it really comes from which is culture, support, and hard work and not just a stroke of DNA luck.
That's true I'm American and I live in the Philippines I'm filam there awesome

Welp im a filipino so i can sing better than u
Great analysis. All true. Haha. But I think my only criticism with Filipino musicians is there is not enough original song material that have become hits out there. Nothing that the world can point to and say that was a Filipino written song. They need to come out with more original music that can reach out to the world.
We just simply love American and English type of music. Most Filipino think that pop music must be anything like music in America. If music producers, tagalog or English OPM, arrange it like Asian, it certainly would not sell.
Hewbhurt Gabon - I disagree. There are a lot of foreign music that are good and is well known internationally. When you hear it you can actually pinpoint that it came from that country because it's well known. Filipinos just have to figure out a way to make a catchy sound. It doesn't matter if that original Filipino song borrows a certain sound from other countries but as long as its original Filipino written it would be a HiT. Even other countries have borrowed a certain sound from other countries and have made it their own. Do you get what I'm saying?
You heard Anak bu Freddie Aguilar? And more to mention!

Filipino singers are so versatile that they can sing all types of genre of music. They're everywhere around Asia and part of the Middle East. If you go to the clubs/ bars, cruise ships, hotels etc, most of the singers you meet are Filipinos.

In the Philippines, a party is boring without karaoke.
That's true Filipinos practice with old songs because the flow and rythms are much easier and good to practice and in that we become better

Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Mishovy Silenosti must be destroyed HA! ME DUMB? How about you read your sentiment again? Get your grammars right dumbshit!
Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Mishovy Silenosti must be destroyed not all Filipinos are dumb. And don't blame the country, blame the government. Don't disrespect anime too. You don't see us anime lovers disrespecting your likes right? Then why don't you do the same. And it's so unprofessional to say that Filipinos are uneducated. There is a lot of technology in the Philippines. There are many scientists in the Philippines that invented things. You saying that the Philippines is uneducated is making me believe that YOU are the one who is uneducated.
Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Mishovy Silenosti must be destroyed not product it's actually the incubator. And there's a scientist who discovered a planet orbiting near Earth. She named it Planet Biyo.
