I doubt even Jessie J could pull it off like KZ did in this one, yet she was voted out easily. She's underrated and was a victim of discrimination, plain and simple.

It's been 2 years. Who's still watching? Tho I don't understand the language, I feel so much pain just listening to KZ💔 -Proud🇵🇭

I let my 9 years old Chinese ward to listen to her song, I asked if she can understand her pronunciation, and I ask if she sings good in mandarin, she said "Yes I can understand her, she's good!"

Her strategy is brilliant. It worked. She's got the heart of whole China.

Singing is not just hitting the highest note but on how you touch life by your song...

Music is truly a universal language. I don't understand a single word yet I find myself crying. Darn it KZ :'(

I found you.. I've been searching the web for a mandarin speaker who reacted to her performance.. Thanks for this. We appreciate it.

Out of all the reactors out there, its your reaction to this performance that I've been looking forward to seeing. Given the fact that you're Chinese is what sets your reaction apart from other reactors'. Some comments say that her pronunciation is the reason why she only ranked 6th. But judging your reaction, it seems that she did really well. Hats off to KZ for taking the risk. Thanks for appreciating much love to Filipino artists. More power to your channel. Proud Filipino here.

Out of Chinese reactor !you are probably THE BEST!👍🏻❤️

It’s been a year ago... but still I’m watching your reaction... it’s priceless!!

I really don't think it was a risk. Placing 7th would still land her on the 4th spot. The girl eliminated only had 6.26% over all and the 5th placer only had 11.77%. Now, KZ got 24.08% on the 5th episode, even if she scored zero (impossible), her average would still be 12%, still landing her on 4th spot. It was a very clever strategy to penetrate and prepare China for KZ. That's the ultimate prize for this competition, capturing the Chinese market. Why the hell is internationally known Jessie J there in the first place? The songs they chose for KZ to sing were old hits from a different era so much so that it did not surprise the generally young audience-jurors, but captured another segment (age bracket) of the people of China and enough to send the message to the younger audience that she can sing Chinese and has that haunting "voice". China has has a median age of about 38 years old and I guess the songs she sang appealed to that age bracket. China is an aging country with 59% is in the 25-64 age bracket. I think China accepted her already and will be ready for any surprise Kz would be pulling out of box which I believe are plentiful. Strategy , plain and simple.

she's no.1 for us..

To have made the Chinese audience even cry was a victory win already in itself. (This "Singer 2018" stint eventually even earned her the privilege to land on the front of a Chinese magazine cover, if I can recall.) Yes. This KZ Tandingan is pure, sheer, First Class God - given TALENT.

I've lost count of how many times I have watched this video over the years and one thing I can say is, I haven't made it through dry-eyed yet.

kz still the winner for me😇😇😇

In other words, KZ lost the battle but won the war. XD She's so awesome.

It's like KZ's singing for a soap opera or movie OST. So much emotion, I just started crying and I don't even understand mandarin.LOLS!

SAME REACTION HERE, SHE MADE ME TEARY EYED EVEN WITHOUT LEARNING THE ACTUAL MEANING OR TRANSLATION OF THE SONG'S LYRICS... I REALLY FELT THE MYSTERIOUS PAIN IN MY HEART THAT I CAN NOT EVEN EXPLAIN... A PAIN THAT I REALLY NEVER KNEW

Yes Gfridag Kz she know everything to sing Mandarin, English , Filipino..etc.. She is very smart and talented hope the Chinese accept KZ Tandingan 1 of your Musician..😘😘😘

it's been 2 years but I'm still looking back to your reactions to KZ

Hi! Gfriday. KZ Tandingan. She have the burning fire in her. No matter what they tried to do to her, they cannot put out her fire. The people around the world could feel her burning fire. Even me, I felt her burning fire. Till this day, I still listening to her music. The hurt you never knew. She sings it passion, with her heart. Ahhhhhhhhhh! KZ Tandingan. She rock my world. It is like mystical.

Oh my lord i watch it many times but in ur video react my tears not stop falling, coz ur chinese u know if shes singing correctly & u prove it that shes good, hu! Kz ur d best

This reaction is what i've been waiting for. A legit chinese reaction.

I have a chinese blood, and grew in Philippines, and never studied bout mandarin, but when i watched her video with this song, it still made me cry.. i love you KZ

Wow so much love and respect 🙏 ❤️ for KZ! Love your reactions!blessings

I always watching kz performances in China, I can't count how many times, even i don't understand every single word but goosebumps 😢😅

KZ is really great. Greetings from Ongpin,China town.

When I first watched this performance without knowing what she was singing she had me in tears. So beautiful and proves that music transcends culture and language

Kz tandingan sings from the heart

OMG kz you got me crying again

I was addicted to this way back in 2019 and that still hasn't change. the first time I heard this, I~ never understood anything but my heart somehow found its way to understand and relate at some point. bravooo

This man deserve a subcribers (sorry for my bad english)

chinese proud of kz what she sang message very clear penetrate the hear and minds of the audiences she is risk taker, kudos

Knowing this reaction from you has proven how KZ is a very excellent singer. ^_^ #XieXie

KZ IS THE FIRST X FACTOR PHILIPPINES CHAMPION AND SHE WON BECAUSE SHE TOOK RISKS AND SHOWED HER OWN UNIQUE SINGING STYLE DURING THE COMPETITION

Filipinos are truly amazing singers worldwide. Thank you for the warm appreciation! God bless you.

Joker is such an amazing song writer. Hope we can remove the tension between countries. Love from PH!

I like you.... Its make me feel proud... Kz is my idol...

I really felt morose when she was eliminated, really really sad because in my opinion, she's the only contestant that sings from heart and sets aside that she is in a competition, she just sing through her heart and make sure that her audience would also feel that they would feel the emotions being contained to the song she's singing🥺❤. Proudest Filipino here, KZ really is my Idol😫😫

GFriday I totally agree! She has touched hearts of thousand chinese people. Even if a person is not chinese or doesn't understand Mandarin, when that person hears KZ singing he will surely feel the emotion. The emotion is very clear. She delivered it very well.

I agree with you. KZ is good in singing the Mandarin songs.👍

Thank you GFriday!!!! 😊👍👍

This is the best reaction commentor. 💚

Finally found someone who's Chinese, i mean who can interpret and react properly to a song sang in Mandarin. KZ is the real deal but wasn't actually been given the proper accolade she deserved or maybe it's just the judge were seeing it differently.. My appreciation GFriday. . You're very good and honest to the core.

She no joke messed that whole audience up and had them crying.

got ya man.. me too I felt so emotional when I listened to this song through yiur reaction.. thanks for reacting this ny friend..

It pokes memories that you don't want to remember. 😭

I had goose bumps. Out of this world outstanding. I don’t know how anyone could have topped that. Yes her Mandarin pronunciation was perfect. Very well sung n how!

I agree...she should be in top 3 for this round

Who else is watching KZ's performances in Singer 2018 during quarantine?

2020 now, still watching this reaction and KZ singing this song.

after how many years, finally saw this. It was just a sad song then because of the melody and the audience's reaction.. this time I cried after understanding what it meant😢 love it so much😍

Thank you for this reaction video and the translation of the song. Good job

still watching KZ every performance and now a fan.....newbie her gfriday...

KZ nailed it!

Relevant reaction coming from Chinese...thank u for giving us an honest review on Kz's performance.

So SAD OF THE RESULT BUT ANYWAYS SHE DID HER BEST TO SHOW HOW FILIPINOS GOT A MAGNIFICENT TALENT! YOU NAILED IT , MY DEAR KZ

thanks for a possitive reaction.. it feels great.

YES! A chinese reaction! and u speak english too! YES!

我听了。我鸡皮疙瘩一个菲律宾人唱的那么好听。。omg..😍你在大陆会红的。。加油加油加油。。

the best reaction video ever of this song!

I can’T recall how many times i’ve watched this and cried.

The tune of your voice when speaking is similar to Papa Jackson who's a famous Radio DJ in philippines.

Filipinos are really emotional singers

Great reaction... and love that u have subtitles.... finally...

At last I understand it more and its super clear..... The pain, the hurts, the one u love who leave u behind...... Crying out now........ Thanks a lot sir.

I don't know how many times i played this but still can't move on tears going down thank you so much for good reaction and i agree with you she is talented really

Soul Supreme KZ.

Thank you. Very good reaction come from the heart of a listener. Keep it up.

thank you for the subtitle. cried my eyes out

its great to get perspective from a Chinese person. Also, its very intuitive of you to address KZ getting 6th place as I am sure many wonder how this happened. I was a bit confused watching the audience cry but getting few votes and thought perhaps KZ did not pronounce the words well or the Chinese do not appreciate foreigners speaking their language if it is not pronounced correctly (sort of like the French). You clarified all that - Thank You. BTW - I totally love the song and KZ of course.

Ive been looking for someone like you who could explain the performance of KZ.. Many Thanks you are a big help... KZ is great performer

Really made me cry though😭😭. Love you KZ

The best reaction video so far 👏

I hope all video reactions would be this well thought. I am impressed that you gave time to even put a subtitle. Indeed, Music has no boundaries. Keep up the good work! I'm subscribing to your channel. Kudos!

The voice, music and emotions harmonized extremely well and even I don't understand Mandarin, the beauty of it overall was out of this world, simply stunning. I was so in tuned and I don't want it to end. KZ just made me a fan for life. Cheers from Jacksonville, Fl

Your great reaction for kz, thanks

So this is really the english translation thanks for this...it is really worth it song and performance...thats why when i first saw the video of her with no english sub...i just cry without knowing it...how much more now now with english sub...i think why she rank 6th because she mashed up it...

She was amazing and KZ made me cry with this beautiful song!

Currently #21 on trending here in Philippines 🇵🇭.. Great reaction video!

I cried my eyes out! Oh my goodness, that song is so heartbreaking 💔

this is the most. honest reaction i ever saw on kz performance. thumbs up for you gfriday!

I listen to the song for the first time in Chinese without trabslation and it got me cried because you can feel the emotions that KZ put into the song... then I understand why its so painful after I watched it with translation. Thank you for your comment to our Kababayan. Xie Xie. 😊

I agree to your reaction ! Musical arrangement was excellent. K.Z. sang the song so heart felt, beautifully. Mandarin is not even her language. Amazing ! I also applauded the musician . Outstanding arrangement.

yes she is spectacular :) words are not enough to say those positive thing, very impressive

thanks for the confirmation about the pronunciation of KZ and the good reaction .for that I want to see more of your reactions

She sings from her heart its better than the original male version sorry its my opinion, proud of you KZ from Davao Region
