This is my first time hearing Bini and now I'm obsessed. I'm half Filipino and half Japanese and I grew up in a white neighborhood in SoCal (I see you "fake Filipino" RockM.) This is exactly what my childhood self needed back then--seeing a whole group of beautiful, talented Filipino women killing it. I'm now down the Bini rabbit hole and I can feel the healing happening every time I watch/listen to them so thank you for sharing them with us.
That's awesome! Hello from the Bay Area, California. I'm not Filipino at all and am a huge BINI fan or Bloom myself. Thank you for supporting BINI, my bias is Staku as the other girls call her or BINI_Stacey (;
Oh wow! You would love other PPop (Pinoy Pop) groups like Kaia, G22, Daydream etc (for the girl groups) and the boy groups like SB19 (who are slowly taking over the globe) and Alamat (who highlight their different Filipino ethnic groups)
@@EmongTheFew it feels unreal reading your comment (in a good way). only a few ppl paid attention to bini back then and now that theyre getting the recognition they deserve, it still feels unreal. thanks for supporting them tho.
Hi Cash Monet they had performed this song to a drag queen event where Marina Summer was part of it, are you also in that event , if not you can check on it, Bini are well love by the LBGTQ plus community
Just want to clarify, they are under Star Magic Ent. it is a talent agency branch of ABS-CBN Corp. where it focuses on scouting, auditioning and training future Fiiipino artists.
I think: Salamin - mirror Salamin, salamin - mirror mirror - they were singing about facing the mirror asking if the person they're singing about for the truth or something. Salamin - in another context is eyeglasses so the person they're singing about would see them in a romantic way.
Back when I lived in the Phils before 2014, ABS-CBN was a TV network that aired all kinds of shows, from the evening news, noontime shows, to telenovelas. ABS-CBN, along with GMA and TV5, were *the* channels ppl went on the TV for their entertainment. The comparison to Fox isn't too far off XD Salamin both mean eyeglasses and mirror, so you're still technically right. We just figure out from context what is meant in conversation. It's like how "glass" could mean the material and the container. I'm glad you guys checked out BINI. I think you guys should watch their Rappler live performances. They really take advantage of their numbers to do vocal harmonies.
Some of their wardrobe inspiration is from Jolina Magdangal back in the 1990s.. Filipinos consider Jolina Magdangal in the 90s as a Fashion Icon. she started the butterfly clip trend.
@@RockMSakura yeah probably bcos they think the other two did not fir the groups concept and the chemistry. I mean those Korean producers also worked with kpop comps so they know
The "If Fox news had a girl group" got me😂😂 because that is what Bini's handlers literally are since there aren't any specialized entertainment companies in the philippines like JYP,HYBE,SM etc....the closest thing we have here is the large news/television broadcasting networks which is ABS-CBN and GMA tho if being specific Bini's employers ABS-CBN has different divisions for different media aspects for movies,tv dramas,music etc.. like example for Bini they are under Star music which is ABS-CBN's division for music production and distribution
Thank you for reacting to BINI. I think you should also check their Wish Bus performances of Golden Arrow, Strings, Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi and Karera. They really have great vocals.
Bini is probably some of the best pop music coming out of the Philippines, so always a pleasure to see their videos. Salamin means "mirror" or "glasses" in a similar way that glasses in English means either (eye) glasses or (drinking) glasses. English also has "glass" meaning mirror, and sometimes is called a "looking glass". "Salamin Salamin" here is likely just "Mirror, mirror", like "mirror, mirror on the wall" without any particular change in meaning.
This song literally gave fromis_9 vibes!!! Glad i wasn't the only one who thinks that hahaha i'm obsessed w this song now thanks for the reaction ladies 🩵
In Tagaytay City, Philippines there’s a gated community patterned after San Francisco’s Colourful row of Victorian houses. Not sure if they actually filmed there though.
Filipino language is like English where one word but can mean 2 different things. Salamin can be mirror and can be eyeglasses too depending on how you will use it.
Salamin, Salamin means Mirror, Mirror Yes, the group was conceptualized 3 years ago just before pandemic by rhe broadcasting company (ABS-CBN) opposite to the boy group they have created as well named BGYO. 2 of the members even been part of Pinoy Big Brother Teen edition
i'm 66 year old & i'm a fan of BINI..a P- Pop who's not only very good in dancing , all pretty but also has a powerful vocals & very good in LIVE singing ❤️
Its My First Time See Salamin Salamin,I Thought From Malaysia Because Im Malaysian,And Im Obssesed With The Salamin Salamin And Pantropiko,Karera, And Strings,And This Is Too Best But Its Copy Twice But Bini Is Fire And Cute And Baddie Concept But Its Twice,Im Stan Bini,STREAM BINI
Please check out Alamat! They're a boy group and their songs tackle filipino culture, and they also sing in different filipino languages! Also BINI's Lagi is THE BEST!! 💖💖💖
Words can have two or more meanings. Even in English. So Salamin means "mirror" and "eyeglasses" both (it also means "glass" in some contexts). It's actually quite similar to English "glass[es]" which can also mean glass material, a glass container, eyeglasses, or (archaic) mirror (looking glass).
Watch BINI with other artists from last year collab, you can see how they hold their own and their star quality: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ccmjy4YVN00.html
While it is better to react with lyrics on (may it be kpop or ppop) to understand the themes of the music video and song itself, most of the time, I forget about the lyrics when I'm singing to the song casually LOL
‘Salamin’ technically pertains to anything made of ‘Glass’ or ‘Mirror.’ But with ‘Eyeglasses’ the complete translation is ‘Salamin sa mata’ (Glasses for the eyes) but it is just shortened sometimes to just ‘salamin’ depending on the context of the conversation.
I agree that most of the time, pop lyrics are indeed bad like the writers force everything to fit. BUT it's always good to give it a chance. The best lyrics for me is BINI's Karera where the lyrics are great and meaningful.
Love this reaction. Some Filipino pride lol. Idk if someone has already said but salamin means glass in general, so it's glasses and the glass on the wall aka a mirror, but you can say "Salamin ng kotse." which means glass of car. Now that could be vague, cause a car has both mirrors and glass windows, so you could just say bintana, which means window, or "Basag ang salamin ng bintana." which means "The glass of the window is broken", but that's redundant. "Pabrika ng salamin" sounds like paprika salmon but means factory of glass hahahaha! In most of these situations (except mirrors and glasses) people just say glass, cause of the English that gets mixed with Tagalog. Now if we are talking about a glass to drink out of it's baso... NO ONE SAYS "basong salamin" a glass glass.... no one, cause that is once again redundant and just feels weird to say. NOW if you'd say glass door you could say "Pintuan na salamin" cause you can't say "Pintuan na bintana" cause a door that is a window does not make sense...
The title made me think of Red Velvet - Zimzalabim (a bop). The one w the kangol looks like a Bratz doll. And that fuzzy bright hat?? I need it. Its so Taeyong coded. Obsessed. 💚 Btw that jacket/outfit y'all were tryna place is very That's So Raven, its def where its taking me.
