Shes had her financial struggles. Live requests on her youtube was her way of earning money for her mom’s medical bills. Her mom was battling cancer

Filipino culture is strongly based around music and dancing. Every single person who grew up in the Philippines knows ALL the classic songs from the 50s and all songs in between. We are always singing and playing music. That’s how she knows so many songs. She would have sung them all of her life. Even non-singers do. It’s in our culture.

Gigi singing is live! Not edited! there's plenty GREAT Filipino singers in the Philippines.

That's why she is know as "The Queen of Covers". ANY style, ANY Era and they OWN it. When they started a few years ago during covid, Gigi and the Band were really poor and struggling to even put food on the table. Their main income as wedding singers dried up and Gigi's mum needed cancer treatment, so they worked with the guy over the road from Gigi house who had some recording equipment in his garage (Tritone Studios) and started these live streams. The whole band lived together in one house to save money and comply with Covid regulations and that's why they are so tight as a group.

In Philippines we can call them singer's when they are already versatile on many songs. As singing in the Philippines is just normal to hear a good singer in every corner. 😅

5:46 For me, most Filipinos know a lot of songs from 80's and 90's because of the culture. Music is part of our daily life that we start the day with it. I remember my father turning on the player while we prepare to go to school early in the morning. He loves The Beatles and Air Supply. So yeah, they pass on the songs of their generation. Also, classics from Mariah, Whitney, and other artists back then are frequently use in singing contests up until today.

She began her journey (age 16) as a wedding singer alongside the father of Gigi Vibes' former guitarist. It's no wonder she has an extensive repertoire of songs, as they always come prepared with a folder full of options for the clients to choose from. Interestingly, these songs are also commonly found in the karaoke collections of Filipino households.

As far as I know Gigi has 9 original songs. Most of it are in Filipino. This are the titles: Sakalam O Bakit Ba Nasa'yo ako First Night Bibitawan Isang Idlip Letting Go Topak Huling Lapit

Singing is her hustle.

Her voice her tone sooo silky-smooth her look her eyes will captivate you. 😍😍😍

I knew about Gigi way back when she joined TNT years ago - a singing competition of a noontime show in PH. I believe she used to carry her real name before which is Gidget dela Llana, so you can check her performances too if you like. She was and still one of my faves and I’m proud with the amount of appreciation she is getting, esp from pro reactors like you.

Gigi is preserving classic songs to the next generation...Thanks GIGI more power to you and God Bless you. If you didnt do it nobody else will do it better than you do. More power to you!!

that song is famous in the Philippines as a singing contest piece because of its level of difficulty

They recorded this on their LIVE streaming.. :) she is a chameleon who can perform vocal acrobatics in so many genres.. we love Gigi and the Gigi Vibes. I also love her rendition of Mariah's Love Takes Time ❤

She have a concert this April World tour in 11 city in USA And then Australia She one of the best Simple the best❤️❤️ She started singing at very young age and train Tobe sang in a wedding she train like jass singers.. please check more oh her . Like angel baby And I can't help falling I love with you and so many more of her ❤️❤️❤️❤️

More Gigi please. All I ask and Bang Bang. Thank you😆

Gigi like many professional filipino singers was for a time a staple of singing competitions which required her to memorize quite a repertoire of contest pieces. Plus she also has personal favorites and the latest hits she needs to sing to stay relevant to current consumers. May I also request that you react to filipina singer Birdy who made a name in Taiwan after joining a local reality singing competition. Thanks and more power to your channel.

Thanks again for a wonderful Reaction , you’re the only reactor can described her truly , am always lost with words in describing her Bec she’s just a great artist ❤ Probably there’s more adjectives for her but not in the dictionary yet 😊 And yes am also wandering how Gigi selects her covers and performs it better than the original , how does she do it ? She’s a genius and so fearless to execute and owns a cover ❤am sure the Lord up there is so proud of her to use her unique God given talent 🙏🙏

Early 50's to the 90'a popular songs are played almost in all corners of the Philippines.. Lots of jukebox, movies, radios and later karaoke. Not to mention amateur song contest every weekend in cities public theatre (amphitheatre) and barios.

a late 80's song by dianne reeves that has become a favorite piece among filipino amateur singers joining singing competitions over the past decades.

It would be awesome if CZ Media can get a hold of Gigi asap before she arrives in the US on April 2024. ( April 27, 2024 Beverly Hills, CA ) performing. She already reached out to a vocal coach on You Tube ( Vocal Lab ) based in Tennessee to perform with her on stage on this date. It would be even better if YOU can also be on stage with her performing.That would be EPIC.

next gigi's "All I ask" (adele original) "Butterfly" (Mariah Carey) , All time rock hits medley, and Michael jackson medley.. those are some the best covers of her band

Always love your reaction to Gigi. How great it would be seeing you ang Gigi singing together. Kudos!

One of my fav cover of Gigi vibes

basically we grow up with the fm radio9 and the neighbors radio in our daily chores the radio as our background music, and all no.1 Hit songs were all familiar to almost anyone, so regardless of age or year when you were born you wil definitely hear this well known songs,

She was already singing as soon as she she came out of the womb😁LOL

We all mostly grew with music around us ,that is why we know a lot of songs and tunes that are mostly popular during those years. Not mention, song contest every weekend on moat city and barios

☺️ Better Days my fav ❤

Absolutely love your reactions! You describe Gigi’s talents so well. Thank you. ❤

Get ready to be “BLOWN” away! Love your reactions in every GIgi’s performaces.. can’t wait to see you reacting to her covering this BETTERDAYS! Thank you..

Gigi is truly amazing. Please bring Eva here. Her voice is simply incredible too. Wow! Love that little short you did at the end here too. You have a rock side very much like Gigi as well. Awesome!

Wow! Your insight about Gigi is truly remarkable. It's fascinating to realize that her appeal spans across generations. Personally, I've always been drawn to her renditions of every song🤩😍🤩

Gigi is a typical Filipino singer who is highly skilled because most Filipino singers : 1) started singing at an early age (like 3 yrs old) 2) they emulate power vocalists,local and international divas 3) sings the most challenging songs in karaoke and used them as their contest or audition pieces 4) join A LOT of singing contests or become veterans of singing contests even at a young age 5) prefers LIVE singing than studio recording

During her live stream.. Some people request a song from gigi. And she sang it impromptu....

Nice Reaction. . . Thank you. . . Kids in the Philippines hears music when they are still at their mother's womb. And even after they were born, they sleep with a song coming from their mother (lullabye) or simply a sweet background music. . . Some says that this is what mother's do to make their child intelligent.

filipinos loves music. i remember as a kid in a province every home would always plays music in the morning. and that they always brag or sometimes show off their stereo or radio that sounds good. and on fiesta or any events the karaoke is always present in every house. thats how the music circles every filipino from kids to grown-ups. you will amaze kids can sing songs way old than grandmother and much better because of that karaoke.

You have an angelic voice very beautiful.

Definitely one of Gigi's best covers, and yet another great RV. Totally agree, 2:45 - her musicality is timeless, anyone that listens will agree and acknowledge the skill right away.

I am soooo waiting for this!!!! I have no Time Machine!!!!! Ugghhhh!!!! I need to go to the future so I can watch it already! 😂😂

I guess u should also react to her singing competition days on live television. The show is called "tawag ng tanghalan" . Eventhough she didnt make it to the finals, she still left some great performances.

She's really Amazing and she has a Unique and Incredible Voice 😮❤..Thank You so much for your great reaction to her covered song.💖😘.. Please do a reaction to her covered songs Where do Broken Heart GO and Never Enough in her Wish Date Concert in Angel Quer's Music ❤❤..Thank You again🥰

Even though im 3 minutes late ,i always enjoy your reaction to my favorite singer Gigi ,yes she has a very long playlists of songs mostly old songs like Yesterday When i was Young, Carpenters songs etc., I subscribed ,thank you.

I just watched a video of this Believe it or not 7 years ago A very young Gigi , amazing It was a great performance It was in an event and wow you could tell how that vocals has matured and more polished now She was like a very young Angelina Jordan ❤❤❤

Not an auto tuned.. She performed online based o viewers requests... 😊

gigi and gigi vibes are awesome

Thanks for playing Gigi

the songs she cover are a mix of materials used in different occasions: classic songs (usually from the 70's to late 90's), singing contest songs, belting songs, top 40 songs. but one thing is common-the songs she cover have beautiful melodies and stories. this song is by dianne reeves, which is a big name in jazz.

I think in the Philippines it comes natural to know a lot of songs it’s part of life to be singing all the time even when you’re doing the laundry or dishes and we used to collect song books and listen to the radio most of the time where the most old ballads are repeated on the daily.

Gigi has been competing since she was a kid so she already has a repertoire at a young age. Being in an band exposed her to other genres as well as songs from the 60s to 90s, that's why she knows so many songs.

wedding singer that's her hustle before pandemic

Gigi my fave😘😘😘😘🥰😍🥰😍😍🥰💕💞💕💞💞💕💞

Thank You so much for your great reaction and Admirng Gigi ❤️ Please do a to her covered songs All I Ask and EASY ON Me ❤..

GG is not only a very good singer but a great artiste too. its classic in Filipino culture that everyone knows lots of songs. with GG expected the unexpected! thank you girl for this RV. 😍😍😍

Singing live on YT is their job. Though now that they're popular she gets gigs on TV or tours here and there

Always love your reactions. ❤

Pls see her Bang Bang cover, she did all 3 vocals

Such interesting insights from a professional singer. Thank you Rozette!😍

Many cover bands in the Philippines knows about 1k plus songs they cover

Pls give tym to hear Gigi's HEART to HEART by Kenny Loggins.. A very VERSATILE artist, indeed! Luv it!❤❤❤

She's coming to the States in April.

If you want to see more of her rocker side,I like her Come Together or Footloose cover or if you like pop, you can see her Michael Jackson medley.They're both nice!

I was patiently waiting for this.

truly appreciate your compliments to gigi ❤❤❤

it's common among Filipinos to know many songs in different genre even beyond their age...

Yes house of the rising next please.thanks for reacting on gigi.she is just the best and love your reactions.

These kind of songs is always played in the philippine radio station. Which make us new generations know about those songs. Radio is still popular here and most of the songs played are 50s 60s 70s 80s thats why we're familiar. And that's also the reason she just reads the lyrics while singing.

Your expertise in the field is truly remarkable, madam. Your insightful analysis demonstrates a profound depth of knowledge and understanding. It takes one to know one!

Filipinos singers can sings thousands of songs❤

It's normal for Filipinos to know thousands of songs. No exaggeration. From my own childhood I know 60's, and 70's from my father's collection. That includes some Spanish songs. Then being born in the 80's I know 80's and 90's. I naturally got into jazz, too, because my ear was developed. It's totally normal for FIlipinos, believe it or not. The size of the OPM (Original Pilipino Music) catalog is also no joke. It's the most musical and multi octave native music, I think, in the world.

I invite you to discover this wonderful talented young singer. This angel is one of the best singers (incredible extremely low vocal, dramatic contralto + polyphonic voice) in the world! Diana Ankudinova I was stunned to find that the first performance (Show "You are Super") I heard was when she was 14!!!! She's now 20 and still developing. She sings in Russian, French, English, German, Spanish and Arabic. The covers she performed on that show are very popular on KZfaq. Many KZfaqrs publish reactions on these performances, which include "California Dreamin' " , "Sweet Dreams" (all 19 y.o.), "Can't Help Falling In Love", "Crow", "Personal Jesus" (all 18 y.o.), "Wicked Game", "Human" (15 y.o.), "Derniere Danse", "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" (14 y.o.), "Take On Me" (17 y.o.) , film soundtrack to Dune, James Bond, Spirit of Baikal (all 20 y.o) and others.

Check out Gigi singing “Sakalam” from Wish Bus, that’s her original song ang it is a Tagalog song.

Non singer Filipinos knows a lot of songs so professional singers knows a lot more try to see normal even kid Filipinos on the streets in TikTok’s slaying old songs…Filipinos naturally enjoys the music they sing

Pls react Gigi's covered of: Ironic (Alanis Morisette), I don't wanna wait (Paula Cole), Torn (Natalie Imbruglia), I'm with you (Avril Lavigne), Don't know why (Norah Jones), Valerie (Amy Winehouse).

I love Eva Cassidy, especially her Fields of Gold is my favorite. I don't mind that Gigi does only covers and is not a prolific songwriter. I am thankful and content that I get to watch her talent, skill and beautiful voice as she does impressive covers of well loved songs of other artists.

Waiting for this reaction!

This song is actually one of the most popular songs used in many singing contests here in the Philippines along with Through the Fire, And I'm Telling You, a lot of Mariah, Whitney,Celine, and Beyonce songs. The more difficult the song is , the better chance of winning. In fact there's this inside joke that the song Listen by Beyonce is actually our national anthem since every Filipino knows how to sing it by heart😂

coach i love your singing at the end.

This song or this type of songs is actually popular in the Philippines because Filipinos use this as their audition pieces or contest pieces for singing contests which are found in almost every corner of the country lol. The more challenging the song is, the better chances of winning the contest.

Waiting here mam😊

Filipinos know A LOT of songs from different genres and different generations because we love singing karaokes at home and every generation is well represented by our singing parents,uncles, aunties, nephews, nieces, grandparents etc etc during casual gatherings. Note : every Filipino household owns a karaoke set for literally EVERYDAY use lol

Check their live Wish Date concert. She sang Never Enough, Where Do Broken Hearts Go 🔥🔥🔥

She won in tawag ng tanghalan hre in the Philippines like america got talent shes natural voice watch her concert dubai and toronto Canada

She is also great on live concert. Can you react to her performance at Wish Concert where she sang "Never Enough", "Where do Broken Hearts Go" and Hopelessly Devoted to you"? By the way she has an original song "Sakalam". Yeah, she's a real babe, really gorgeous, she's actually twice more beautiful in person 😁

Thank you so much for a very nice reaction...i really admire the way you react..please react to her medley songs..thank you❤❤❤..you are so pretty❤❤❤

Nice reaction for our Gigi vibes❤️👏hope you also react to her cover title "HOME" by Diana Ross.and if you want to react of here own original song here are the LIST. SAKALAM. NASA' YO AKO. FIRST NIGHT. More reaction for Gigi❤️ thanks.😊

Since i've listened to the original by diana reeves which was melodic and ballady , i'd say gg's interpretation have the sash and edginess maybe she meant it to sound that way cause shes aware that songs even those so called iconic or the classics tend to sound boring or monotonous as years and generations go by . This could be her way of making it sound interesting or amusing to any listener who may play it over and over in the years to come . I have to say that short video of yourself singing i think is the most beautiful you've done rosette , those tatts are time less too and that figure is so polished .

Better Days by Dianne Reeves, a jazz singer from Detroit Michigan was officially released in 1987

Can’t wait!!!

I enjoyed your reaction! Thank you. Hoping more Gigi to come. She has a cover of "This Love"(Maroon5) and "Heart to Heart"(Kenny Loggins). Kindly check out Katrina Velarde's cover of "Araw Gabi". Fantastic breath control. Both ladies are exremely talented. Enjoy.

Gigi song is not edited and no auto tune it's a real voice 😊

She started at a very young age in a band singing for weddings and other events, usually jazz and Bossa nova, thats where she probably got her wide range of songs that she knew.

Love this 🧒

#GabrielHenrique number like 185 ❤❤ I leave as a suggestion for your reaction, the talented Gabriel Henrique covering Whitney Houston with the song i have notting in his voice with a unique style

Wow ❤❤❤

Filipino is always love old song and when sing we feel and in character to reveal the emotion and feeling to deliver a good song 🥰🇵🇭
