    2. Regine is so humble to admit that. No wonder she is so successful. She is already an icon.

    3. the interviewer crossing her arms looks unwelcoming and defensive for someone trying to get answers. pwedeng iwasan.

    4. 12:20 kahit hindi ako fan, ang dami niyang hit original. Dadalhin, pangarap ko ang ibigin ka, youve made me stronger? Imposibleng di mo alam mga yan kung andito ka sa showbiz site. Kahit kanta ng Wow Philippines na siya ang nagperform sumikat.

    5. Cover singer?? Ang daming nyang sumikat na original songs!

    6. She always say that it's no longer her time. Uhmn... Fishing for complement or assurance ka ba Teh? Your contribution in the industry is already cemented. Singers come and go. Maswerte ka nga dekada ang peak mo. Un iba one hit wonder lang. Kung di ka na at your peak eh don't state the obvious.

    9. to add lang kay sis 652.

      Narito Ako
      Urong Sulong
      Kung Maibablik Ko Lang
      Muli (duet with Gary V isama na din natin yung Each Passing Night)
      To Reach You
      Araw Gabi
      Shine

      walang kamatayan sa Videoke na... Dadalhin/ Pangako/ Hanggang Ngayon (duet with Ogie at sabi nga ni 652, Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigin Ka).

      Ikaw - Staple sa mga weddings.

      She's a true OPM ICON (ilang LGBTQ++ din ang nakinabang sa panggaya kay Ate Reg). Until now yung mga songs nya nasa playlist ko pa.

      Regine had 17(??) albums and multiple sold out ARANETA concerts. Sige nga 1220 sinong singer sa Pinas noon at ngayon ang kaya mong itapat sa mga na-achieve ni Regine?

      Delete
    10. 6:52, iilan lang ang nakilalang kanta niya na original. Ang iba ay puro cover songs na.

      -not 12:20

      Delete
    11. With the right management and a new set of songs, kaya pa yan bakla! Think Cher, Dolly Parton, very active pa rin sa music scene. It's all about reinvention. Sayang naman si composer husband kung wala siyang new songs at puro cover ang naaalala kay regine ng newer gen.

      Delete
    12. cover singer tlga? either di ka 90s baby or hindi ka lang fan. hindi ako tlga fan pero aware ako na madami siyang original hits

      Delete
    13. 11:28,ang kantang Ikaw ay si Sharon Cuneta ang original. Cover lang si Regine pero si Sharon pa rin ang naiisip agad ng tao diyan, hindi si Regine.

      Delete
    14. narito ako is a revival though. kahit araw-gabi. though infer, yang era na yan marami siyang original hits.

      Delete
    15. 11:34, may naglista na ng mga original na. Ilang kanta ba dapat?

      Delete
    16. Promdi
      Urong Sulong
      You've Made Me Stronger
      Kung Maibabalik ko Lang
      Babalik Kang Muli
      Follow The Sun
      In Love With ayou (duet with Jackie Cheung)
      Forever
      Please Be Careful With My Heart
      Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigin Ka
      You Are My Song
      Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw

      She has several revivals na naging hit din. Shine was an Ima Castro original but Regine was the one who popularized it. Sana'y Maulit Muli is a revival but we all know that her version is the one that we wanna to sing.

      Delete
    17. Her version is the one thay we wanna sing? Baka kayo lang noh puros screeching at screaming kasi kayo.

      Delete
    18. 7:04 Hindi naman hit songs ang Promdi, Urong Sulong, Babalik Kang Muli at Follow the Sun. Imbento kayo. Si Regine nga mismo di kinakanta ang mga yan.

      Delete
    19. Si regine ang Mariah Carey ng pinas puro cover songs.

      Delete
    20. 8:15 Syempre di mo alam kasi di ka pa pinapanganak noon. Yan yung nagpasikat sa kanya. Lagi kaya sa countdown ng radio stations yung mga yan. Jusmiyo!

      Delete
    21. 8:15 Ay Ineng. Kung may isip ka na nung 80s at 90s, laging nasa top 10 countdown ng mga radio stations yang mga binanggit mo.

      8:03 PM Ang daming sumunod sa kanya na singers like Kyla, Sarah, Katrina, Sheryn, Morissette, kinakanta yang Sana'y Maulit Muli. Ok. Kami-kami na lang ang kakanta.

      9:05 same thing. Kung wala ka pang muwang nung 80s at 90s, at hindi ka nakikinig sa countdown ng radio stations, hindi mo talaga alam na madami ding original songs si Mariah Carey and some were composed by her like Hero, One Sweet Day, Through The Rain, Never Too Far Away, Love Takes Time, Butterfly.

      Ewan ko talaga dito sa mga pa-woke na feeling nila na-witness nila kasikatan ng mga lumang tao ngayon . Napaka-ageist.

      Delete
    22. Regines albums full of revival songs spawned others to follow. Dahil diyan, namatay OPM. Wala na halos nagsulat ng mga original songs, lahat na lang kailangan may sarili nilang rendition. No doubt she milked every single note when she was at her prime, pero sana she could have contributed more by singing more original songs.

      Delete
    23. 2:04 Sino may sabi na pinatay ni Regine ang OPM through her revivals? Regine released Retro in 1996. Madami pang sumikat na original OPM songs and OPM artists after that year like Yeng, Kitchie Nadal, Callalily, Sponge Cola, Aiza S.Gloc-9, Salbakuta, Hale, Lani Misalucha, Jaya, Sarah G., Nina, (both Nina and Sarah G. may original hit songs din naman sila). After 2K until now meron pa ding sumisikat, Moira, Ben and Ben, Charice, SB19, 4 of Spades and so on.

      Wag mong isisi kay Regine ang kasalanan ng mga pirata at mga nakikinig at nag-dodownload sa illegal sites. She gave pride to our country during her younger years by winning in Asia Pacific Singing Contest. She did duets with several international artists. Kaya kahit ano pang sabihin niyong mga imbyerna sa kanya, hindi na mawawala na she is a Filipino pride. Malaki contribution niya sa OPM di gaya niyo na andito lang para mang-bash.

  2. Sa mga baguhang singer dapat may originality kayo at meron kayong mga original hit songs. Wag nyong tularan yung mga cover singers tulad nila Regine na puro revive lang ng revive ng kanta ng ibang singers.

    2. Ah ok. Bahala ka jan girl

    3. Pati style, yung pagbirit, ginaya lang. Ayun, kinapos na ng hininga, pinabayaan ang boses (she admitted this) kaya iyan.

    4. Bat bitter ang beshy ko?

      Delete
    5. May cover siya may original din. Baka kulang un napakinggan mo. Baka pag naka luwag luwag ka mapakinggan mo na lahat. Mas mahalaga sa singer un magaling ka kumanta at may sarili kang timbre. Un pagkarinig pa lang sa boses mo alam na ikaw un. Hindi generic. Gaya ni Gary, Martin, Basil, si Regine na din. Kaya nga sila nagtagal

    6. maipilit talaga eh noh? uso tlga ngayon magkalat ng misinformation and fake news.

    1. Gayslang ba ang relevant? Pag gay icon ka, peak na ba yun ng success? Hahaha Too much entitlement. She is an icon that's it. No need to mention any orientation.

    2. Too early for her to sit on her laurels. Parang ano yun, tanggap na niyang palaos na siya?

  4. There's dignity in knowing when to step back and to pass the torch to the next generation. Good for Regine. Yun hindi marunong nyan is si Madonna. Mukha tuloy syang katawa tawa sa mga pinanggagawa nya. Di ko makalimutan yun hinalikan nya si Drake sa performance nila sa superbowl tapos hahahhahaa yun reaction ni Drake after na sukang suka.

    1. Si Cher remained classy

    2. @1225 infer nga kay Cher and the late great Tina Turner, they were both able to still perform but remain classy befitting their status as legends. Si Madonna naman kasi yun mga galawan ng mga bagong pop stars gusto nya pa makalamang, masyado syang trying hard.

  5. MUla nung lumipat siya sa kapamilya, waley na siya. Wala na siyang dapat patunayan.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I don't think so. Palaos (for lack of a better term) na siya nung huling 10 years niya sa GMA. Lahat ng projects niya nagfoflop back then. It seems like yun pa nga ang dahilan ng paglipat niya, cause ABS has a reputation na magaling maghype ng career the way they did with toni, anne, christine, etc.

      Delete
    2. Gumanda nga ang performance niya ngayon at hindi na siya tumitili.

      Delete
    3. Kahit naman nung nasa kapuso sya pababa ng pababa na sya ah. Medyo may edad na kasi sya. Iba naman na ang timpla na gusto ng mga henerasyon ngayon.

    4. true sayang sya may mga soap sya don

    5. actually nung umamin sila ni Ogie about their relationship dun sya nagstart mawaley.

      Delete
    6. Nalaos siya at si Ariel Rivera noong 90s ng naging sila at nag-cheat si Ariel kay Gelli de Belen. Kaya biglang nag-break si Regine at Ariel ay para makabawi sa career nila at nangyari naman.

      Delete
  6. Trulalo naman sinabi nya. Kainis nga pag kumakanta sya puro pasigaw na. Its time to retire.

    2. Siguro super talented ka. Super great singer. Sige let's hear you sing. 😂

    3. Ayoko rin ng puro tili at sigaw na kanta. Kapag si Sharon at si Zsa Zsa ang kumanta, alam mong sila ang boses at kanta. Kay Regine kasi ay puro tili nga at pareho na rin ng iba pa kaya hindi mo na alam kung sino iyon.

      Delete
  7. Hindi rin, wala parin talaga ako nakikitang kasing galing nya sa henerasyon ng mga mang-aawit ngayon. Iba ang ganda, sex appeal at talent nya combined nung kasagsagan nya

  8. Pansin ko every successful people they really took risk, di sila playsafe. keber sa image basta alam nila goal nila, whether it’s for career or lovelife push lang talaga sila. Kaya look at mama reg, she’s still on top of her game.

  9. Wala ng dapat patunayan pa
    At ang mga nag re reign now is mga singer songwriter, like moira yung zack tabuldo ben and ben sino pa ba mga singer songwriter or di kaya mga nasa band na magaking sa storya, di na uso ang mga biritera kahit sa Hollywood mga sina taylor, billie ang sikat ed sheeran lao na din mga rapper now

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Si Moira naman pang-back up singer lang ni Regine ang level. Parang laging mababahin pa pag kumakanta. Pilit pinalalambing ang boses. Imposibleng marating nya kahit Kalahati ng narating ni Regine.

      Delete
  10. To be honest di na maganda pakinggan si regine puro sigaw na lang magkaka impact lang sya pag bibirit

    Pero I think magkaka rebirth kumbaga ang career nya, obviously magka hit song ulit sana sya now per sana walang birit na song

    1. agree wid u. hindi ko na kaya makinig ng mga live songs nya now puro sigaw at parang mapuputol ang litid sa hirap. but i used to love her nung nag sisimula palang at nung sikat na sa gma. i still listen to her old / classic chona songs. IMO lang.

      Delete
    2. ang tumatak talaga sa akin nung kinanta nya ang Sana Maulit Muli. Dun sya hinangaan ng husto. Guest performer sya sa isang event na di ko na matandaan. Hindi pa sya ganun kasikat nung panahon na yun. Lahat ng tao tahimik na tahimik nung kumakanta sya. Peak yun ng ganda ng boses nya kaya kikilabutan ka talaga.

  11. Sino kaya ang karapat dapat pasahan ng korona? Nag-iisa lang ang Regine Velasquez. Pero hindi maiiwasan na may papalit at papalit sa kanyang trono.

  13. Sikat dati sa Asia si Regine, kung nagpamanage sya sa isang big international company sana nag tuloy tuloy. Magaling naman si Cacai at Asawa nya si Raul Mitra pero sa ibang bansa iba strategy. Ngayon rin kasi daming magaling kaya mahirap mamintain kasikatan

    1. 1:00 She would've been dragged hard. She used to copy mariah's style back then.

    2. Sa Wikipedia lang siya sumikat sa Asia. Di naman totoo yung million sales niya sa China at Korea

    3. Was she known to non-Filipinos though? The only homegrown Filipino singer that's really made it big internationally (albeit not so mainstream) is Lea Salonga.

      Delete
    4. she did launch herself in Asia. not sure kung naging malaki ang following. yung mga songs na You Made Me Stronger and In Love With You na duet, international releases yun

      Delete
    5. Yes 12:29 she has many non-Filipino fans in Asia

      Delete
    6. Sumikat din si Lea internationally. Pero para sa akin magaling pa rin si Regine sa kanya at hindi nya mapapantayan ang kasikatan ni Regine dito sa Pinas.

      Delete
    7. 3:31 Nora at Sharon mas sikat kay Regine. Even Sarah Geronimo at Donna Cruz. Si Lea pa rin ang sikat sa lahat, kilala sa buong Mundo at nasa mga libro pa. Si Regine nasa mga comedy bar lang sikat.

  14. Ngek. Walang nagre reign ngayon. Hindi covered ni moira ang lahat ng genre. So malabong maging queen sya gaya ni regine. Class A to D, sinakop ni Regine. Bata hanggang matanda. May nakatabi kaming table dati talking about gary v, regine and other singers. Mga mukang alta and they said, kaya sya highest paid and namaintain ang korona sa kasikatan was because of her talent, her songs, her charisma and reach sa audience na di limited.

  15. there was a time in phil music scene when every singer wanted to be regine kaya nauso ang birit ng birit lalo na sa mga singing contests

  16. Masakit na sa tenga yung birit ni regine. Saka hindi na uso sa generation ngayon yung ganyan puro pasigaw

  17. She can’t even sing that well anymore

  18. At least real sya

    ReplyDelete
  19. Good. I got older and I realized how annoying and overdone some of those birit in her songs. I still have my regine playlist but I press it forward to the next one when the birit starts. Songs are still great tho.

  20. Sana yung ibang makapintas may talent. Kung di marunong kumanta wala karapatan mamintas. May masabi lang na nega akala relevant na sila. Learn to appreciate other people. Wag puno ng hate🙄🤣

  26. Sa totoo lang overrated naman siya. Laging kailangang bumirit, laging pang singing contest ang awrahan. Pasalamat talaga siya na malakas siya sa networks before pero in terms of singing iisa lang ang style niya sa lahat ng kinakanta niya. Hindi na patok yan ngayon kasi mas versatile na ang pakiking ng audience.

  27. Regine should stick to soft singing. The belting sounds so screechy these days, it's often unpleasant to listen to. Her popular originals back in the day capitalized on her tone more than her range.

  28. Kung nagstay siya sa GMA, reyna pa din siya ngayon. Over exposed nga siya dati. Buti naman ngayon at di ko na siya nakikita, mas dumami din singers ng GMA kaya di nakakasawa. Dati kasi sa taas ng TF nya puro siya nalang.

    Shine (original by Ms. Ima Castro)

  34. 90s pa lang, fan na ko ni Regine. I've seen her career growth over the years. Yung pa-guest-guest pa lang sa Vilma at lagi syang una kakanta kasi uuwi pa sya ng Bulacan. Inaabangan ko guestings nya sa SaLinggoNAPOsila, Ryan, Ryan Musikahan at MAD. Then nauso mga divas and sya talaga reyna ng VIVA dati. Nabigyan sya ng break sa movies, soap operas, and hosting sa SOP. Basta Back2Back2Back, sya lagi ang aabangan. Lagi syang may concerts twice a year, at least. Kahit paos sya, pag kakanta na, bumabalik boses nya. Ganun sya kagaling... Now, after nya mag-settle down and with Nate, nawala sya sa showbiz at nag-focus muna sa family. After nun, nahirapan na sya bumalik. Nawalan pa sya ng boses during one of her concerts na malaking impact sa career nya kasi since then, nahirapan na sya talaga. Nagkaron pa sya ng acid reflux. Let's be happy (mga fans nya talaga) na umabot sya ng 35+ years. Icon na talaga sya. She knows na iba na taste ng mga generation ngayon. Pero sana di sya mawala sa music scene. Mag-collab sya more with artists like SB19 and Ben and Ben. As for the people na nag-a-ask kung baket puro covers lang ginagawa nya, well, pwede namin ilista lahat ng original songs nya dito. No need to do that. Iba ang contribution ni Chona Regina Encarnacion Velasquez sa music industry.
