Saw the infamous freestyle, thought there was actually mad potentially in it but they did him dirty with the quiet ahh beat…clicked on this next and this dude is real as fuck. Feels like a man who was actually raised with integrity. Really excited to check out his shit now and I’m really hoping he’s still going.

To be honest.i kind of subconciously mimick the original singer's voice

What happend to bro

I love Filipino culture!

that's why in our competition the standard is to put your personality in the song. because most can copy the original version it became normal😂

I don't think regine, jaya,pelita,Lani, Lea sound like any western artists...pinagsasabi neto

He a snitch 😂😂

I love the realness of this interview..much respect ❤

We copy ... and do it better than the original.

That is not a bad thing. You should tell your teacher that it is not a bad thing

The mole

Not at all mimicking they make it their own especially seasoned singers

16:30 it’s already kinda like that. We’re all Americans.

While wearing a Jollibee shirt. The Blasphemy.

Why would he have an identity crisis given that Filipinos descend from afro asiatics in their genesis. “Mark of the Four Waves.”

My first thought was the fact that we all have a karaoke machine😭

Half Filipino?wow bro🥰

Jollibee is dupe😂

Yep, Filipinos are good at mimicking and most of the time better than the original.

Because we as a parents wanna make sure our kids will have a better future. And my Daughter now taken nursing. Altho it is not her first choice. Then i made her realize samthn' like if she finished it she can pursue what she really want atleast she got a degree 😂❤

Ang totoo niyan maybe lessthan 2 % of filipino can sing properly totoo yan lessthan 2% lang talaga ang marunong kumanta

That was a backhanded compliment.

It has something to do with the complexity of the native twang of the Filipino dialects... Even Cebuano singers are different than Southern tagalog singers. It's not just because of the mimicry.

We're good at mimicking bcos we listen a lot to music, that's why we learn vocal techniques that we're not even know of growing up.

that words is from who cant sing, jealous 😂

how do you even sing a song if you don't copy? the teacher who told you about mimicry sounds more like a jealous one lol.

The term was used back in the 70s. There is that mentality that anything foreign is the best. Forward to 2024 nope, Filipinos are great natural singers, very versatile and mimicry is one of the assets.

This guy has fake gangster written all over him he soft as hell he is no Chicano or tough guy he ain't bout that life. Oceanside? Must've been a rich kid.

Sometimes much better 😱😱😱😱😱😱😂😂🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👍🇵🇭❤️

My mum took me to some singing lessons in middle school when she noticed i showed some interest in musical theater. On the first day, our voice teacher made us pick a song to sing to gauge our style and test our range and I think I did well because my teacher said my performance was beautiful. But during the actual exercises, I sucked. I can't identify the notes or match them and when I was made to sing along to a melody I've never heard of, I was so bad my teacher was getting frustrated. Also, the teacher noticed my singing style and voice quality change depending on the song I picked. he tried to help me find my raw "unadulterated" singing voice but when we found it, it was not as good as my mimicking. In any case, the interest in musical theater was just a phase and I discontinued the lessons and gave the teacher some peace. I wasn't heartbroken about having boring raw vocals. besides, my mimic singing is always a hit at karaoke.

Nump is cool af 🌐🌐

They all copy the RNB singers from the States. Especially the Brothas and Sistas! lol

Nonsense

Actually now that I think about it Gigi De Lana did sound EXACTLY like Hayley Williams in her Paramore cover of "Decode" to the point it was low-key scary.

Over using like like like like😂

we r like that, coz we became like that. we've been westernized too much. not our fault.

vocal teacher: imma say the most obvious shit and watch this girl's head explode...

I play Devours music more than anyone else's. Glad to see he's down to earth and humble. That's real and why he's so relatable.

I like that

They can only imitate

Mimicry or not.. The only Truth about Filipino singers, Is they are exceptionally GOOD, Plain and Fckin Simple How good they are? It's simple, I've been in Philippines..in Quezon city I saw this mini restaurant they call it "karinderia" and it has coined operated karaoke machine, someone sang a Bon Jovi song called "Blaze of glory" And he sings so GOOD like Fckin concert quality voice, And everyone else doesn't give a shit on him

Is that why they have American accents

Sometimes better...? Nope. Most of the time.

PEAK

Nvm what they say.. Your style is Versatile 🔵🔴🤙🏽💪🏽Wh1600P #$howGreatness

Because all you have to do is listen. You start from there.

Italian spaghetti! I don't like the Jollibee spaghetti!

That’s true.

when I was young I love zac efron in his highschool musical era 😂 so me and my friends always roleplay highschool musical but no one wants to be troy bolton so I kept mimicing his voice even tho I am a girl 😅 now I can only sing in low register voice 😂😂😂 like dua lipa's voice

I am not a pro singer and guitarist. Just a hobbyist. But I mimicked the songs and the guitars like the original artist. I don't know how i do that but that's the way it is.
