What to do to win in TNT: you have to be consistent, technically on point, convey emotions, better song arrangement than your opponents and a lot of luck! 😁

TAWAG NG TANGHALAN is the hardest Filipino singing competition as compared to The Voice, X-Factor, The Clash and Idol Philippines. You need to win your daily rounds before qualifying to the quarterfinals, semifinals and grandfinals. You need to win all rounds and then you have to sing all week long on the grand finals week. Plus the Gong factor and the set of judges are changing daily/weekly. You have to have endurance to sing or else you'll be out the next day. On the new season, they have Battle of Versions which test the versatility of the contenders. Shoutout to Noven, Janine, Elaine, JM and Raven for winning TNT 🥳🎊🎉

Yes they are all high caliber, but judges use to check their versatility. Most of contestants in this kind of shows can sing high notes (ballad songs) the question is, can they rap? Can they sing R&B? Can they sing it in their own arrangement? How good are they in singing different genre? If you are an all around then you will surely win. That’s how it works in the Philippines

Singing competition in the Philippines is not all about how high your voice is. It's all about how you communicate to the audience and make them feel the song you sang. +Runs +High note +Audience impact +Pronunciation +Correct lyrics Etc. And that's the reason why there's too many Filipino joining international competition instead of joining Philippines singing competition. It's to hard winning singing competition here

This is the reason why Filipino's like zack tabudlo, moira dela torre, adie style its just calming because if we watch in singing contest the contestants just go crazy most of them hitting high notes and not a surprise anymore.

TO BE HONEST, Tawang Ng Tanghalan sa It's Showtime is one of the best singing competition here in PH. It's very popular. Tho, it's just a segment of a show but it literally wipes out other singing contest in all T.V. networks.

The looks on y’all’s faces after the last contestants tho! 🤣🤣🤣 I woulda thought you’ve watched enough Filipino’s singing that nothing would surprise the two of you about us anymore, but I’m wrong. I enjoy hearing your breakdowns Waleska and your color commentaries Efra. Keep doing what you’re doing. I look forward to watching more and more. 👍🏽

I just love how you appreciate not just how great these talents are to listen to but appreciating them from a technically musical standpoint. Growing up in the Philippines, the 80’s power vocals have been the influence and Filipino singers mimic them, having usually no formal training whatsoever. I guess you can say the Filipino crowd as an audience is tough because they’re used to this caliber of singing. Like this is “normal” and just par for the course in Philippine music. Singing in malls, inside classrooms, at friends’ homes, practically anywhere isn’t unusual at all. Because of your reviews I’ve come to appreciate our talent as a people more and I’ve truly come to see them in such a revered light. So thank you for that.

Thank you so much Efra and Waleska for liking some of our Filipino Singers , We loved you both....

- TNT is on It's Showtime which is a noontime variety shows that airs Mon-Sat. Meaning TNT has three contestants each day. - The panel of judges evaluate them based on the judging criteria. - It's only in the Semis and Grand Finals that the crowd has 50% part in the voting.

the creator of that video’s definition of best vocal is high notes. i hope someone will create compilation of great performances on TNT Stage that will showcase versatility and artistry of the contestants

These two will be great judges in the phil musically their heart and love for music is outstanding!!!!!!!! They know the industry and they are soooooo good! Producers come on bring them here!

There is only one way to prove your hypothesis Efra, randomly pick a Filipino at the 1MX festival and ask them to sing.

10:18 - Efra was so proud in his use of "basura." lol Also, I can just imagine, when you guys eventually come to the Philippines, that you'll be in a perpetual state of freaking out. haha

I dare you to watch TNT's weeklong Quarter and Semifinals where the singers are already wild and extremely mental singers who've defended their spots as daily champions. It's amazing watching all of them sing, I swear.

Fyi, Tawag ng tanghalan which literally means Call of the Stage has a different format from other singing contests. In this show, the daily winner gets to challenge the defending winner. Defending champions who achieve a 5 time winning streak get to advance in the semi-finalists category. This show started in 1953 as radio show and then became television show. Through the years, there were some reiterations and revisions, but the basic format remains. It was responsible for discovering some of our great Filipino singers.

EFRA IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Tawag ng Tanghalan is the most scariest singing competition in the Philippines 🙏🏻🇵🇭💯

When I was a kid (I am now 76 years old) the only singing show on TV was Tawag ng Tanghalan and there were, consequently, very popular singers that came out as Champions of this show, to name some: Deomedes Maturan (the Perry Como of the Philippines), Ruben Tagalog, Novo Bono, Ric Manrique, I think Sylvia LaTorre was a champion, too, and many others. The show was first aired over the radio, because there was no television yet. Then it was televised during the advent of TV. Although the winners of the show became popular, their popularity was limited only within the country. No social media was yet invented then, no You Tube website. It is different now: there are numerous singing shows, and you, probably, know them. The invention of KARAOKE gave the contestants the edge over the old singers, and TV shows and You Tube gave them the formats to show their talents, hence they are, probably, better singers. I don't know if these old singers I mentioned have their songs recorded for You Tube consumption.

By watching this, you get to realize how high the standards of the Philippines when it comes to singing. In fact, it’s normal in the Philippines 💛 Only in TawAg ng Tanghalan where u get to see a lot of talented singers in the Philippines.

The Quality of singers in this show is beyond any song competitions in the country. Imagine if you made 3 mistakes you'll be gonged and it's over, that's why only the best of the best singers will be able to survive and win on this show. Janine Berdin and Ellaine Duran are the best examples even those who didn't won like John Mark Saga and moreee were really a monster in singing.

They're so impressive 🤯

The backing vocalist (middle, 9:34) is Anna Graham, the vocal coach of BINI.

hope Tawag Ng Tanghalan can get international music professionals to judge like Waleska. Would love to see her as a judge in TNT. :)

Most Filipinos do not know the technicalities, but the standard of belting here are the 80s and 90s diva like Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey or 00s Beyonce. Locally, it is Regine Velasquez . We do have ears for high notes though not all can hit those. And it is true at least one of the relatives can belt, thus, Efra is correct that we use that relative for comparison. Just love how you have embraced even the language. Sisiw is also the word used to call Ken Suson's fans. Looking forward to your next reaction.

Well its all because of Ms. Regine Velasquez [THE QUEEN], she set that high standard for all the aspiring singers here in the Philippines . The era of singers that your listening now is regine's influence. By the way we Filipinos communicate in 4 different languages ,aside from our regional dialect, we can communicate in filipino, English and MUSIC

I agree with efra here. Audiences here don't really know about tunes but we tried the karaoke version and WE know if a song was so hard to get right or know someone else better than the person performing. It's like point of reference.

In Tawag Nang Tanghalan you've got to protect your throne atleast 5 times before you become a semi finalist, everyday the defending champion faces a different kind of singer with different Genre, tonal and whatever. When you become semi finalist you have to compete for a quarterly finals where all of the winners in the specific quarter compete to get a slot for the grand finals, every quarter there's 2 winners that will go further for grand finals the competition continues whole year round until they reached 10-12 total grand finalists, the grand finals is week long everyday 1 contestant will go home with the lowest score then final 5 will compete for the grand finale . This singing competition is insane.

I think you guys are already immense in Filipino culture your reaction like " oh it's common in the Philippines" it's like it's not new to you at all HAHAHAHAHAH I like it

Competing in the philippones when it comes to singing is so hard. You need to be the cream of the crop. You have to be the best among the best.

That's why Adie, Zack, and Arthur Nery are a thing. We've seen too much belting, people want something new.

In the Philippines 🇵🇭 Tawag ng Tanghalan is the parameter of Singing Competition right now.

Efra, you are very spot on. If my sister can do it in a karaoke, you better be much much better than her, with me paying this much money to see your show. Some famous international singers would sometime say that the Filipino audience is one of the toughest audience to impress.

Tawag ng Tanghalan is really 👍💪 You could be stopped in the middle of singing if you make 3 mistakes. And you don't win just by 1 round you could be a day winner but in order to be in semi finals you have to win several times and defend your position first.

😆 I didn't know Efra suddenly blurting out Filipino words or phrases could be so funny

For contestant to be the winner, it will be a combination of judges scores and viewers vote for the grand finals. It's been the trend for singing contests here in the Philippines. During the daily round, there are times that judges argue who should get to win as contenders really are amazing singers. That's why they came up with Resbak to give chance to those amazing contestants to still get to fight to grand finals. 😉

Some Filipino exclamatories to try, for Efra: Lupet! Sakalam! Hanep! Astig! Lodi! Walastik! Panis! …..For Waleska: Grabe! Halimaw! Bongga! Ansabe?! Sana all! Pak na pak! Todo na ‘to! 🤣

Thank you for reacting. Belting is so normal in singing competitions back home and it has been like a common parameter. But as a nation who loves singing, we also love to listen to songs and singing sans belting - like Sitti, Forevermore especially the great ones during the 80s and 90s. Check out Apo Hiking Society, Rey Valera - they are epic Manila sounds

Efra's face after watching the last clip was hilarious.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Finally you recognize them...they all absolutely dope

This is really cool. The talent that Filipinos have is just amazing.

Efra's face when he said "BASURA" you was proud 😂 "sisiw", "basura" and "pangarap ko ang ibigin ka" you know the essential tagalog words now 😁

Not to mention how many times i've seen this..! Still yeah, its one of my favorite that i kept on watching as to filipinos showcasing a world class talent.. am a fan of you both.

That's Mary Khem Cabagte singing "Gusto ko ng Bumitaw". You guys can check out that performance. Its amazing!

I really really love watching your reactions about filipino talents coz its genuine, and how in the world you can remember some of these filipino songs and can even sing some of them like its your 2nd language now? Do you guys still speak spanish or it just became your 3rd language to give way to tagalog? Love! Love you both! Keep it up! 😊

There are 3 contestants everyday and the show has been around for many years. Just imagine how many great singers there are.

Your already filipino by heart we love you and your family

The backing vocals are actually voice mentors of other artists. Like, this is their side job.

Love love from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Tawag ng Tanghalan is way way back in 90s I think and they revived the shows becoz of the best of the best singers ever had in the country. Aside from TNT, we had Idol Philippines and the Clash. Salamat po. More dudz.

Thanks sis and bro... for reacting to our singers... God bless you both!❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🎵🎵🎵

TNT was a highly respected singing competition. I hope they go back to the old judging style without the audience votes because it killed their tnt identity that made them unique not just in the Philippines but to the rest of the world. They can have a separate award for people's choice, though.

Im literally in tears listening how appreciative you are in all the talents that you saw.

I am glad you always admire our Filipino singers. It's our pleasure, we love you guys.❤️❤️❤️

Tawag ng tanghalan was a radio amateur singing contest where one would sing and if a gong sounded, you stop because it meant you failed.

i got stunned with the G#4 and G#5 combination 😨

OMG, thank you so much for the positive comments! I really appreciate it

Wow Efra, you never seem to amazed me in grasping the filipino language.... It is so fun to watch you both interact and make funny face whenever your impressed with the filipino talents... Thank you and more power to your show....

Many of the popular ph singers today are products of singing competitions, Darren Espanto, Morisette, Sarah Geronimo, Sam Concepcion, Sam Mangubat, Janine Berdin, Jonna, Jason Dy, Angeline Quinto, Gigi de Lana, Kyla, and, of course, the one and only Regine Velasquez. Blame it on our karaoke 😁

Hoping to see both of you as guest judges in the TNT grand finals. Just being excited. But who knows right? 😄

I had fun watching u guys all the time….Thank u Waleska and Efra for Loving Filipino talents..

Wow is really amazing voice

So far based on the winners on TNT, they all have unique voice i mean very unique voice.

Wow... ok we gonna wait for that. 🤩😍🥰

Its funny everytime Efra say sisiw he's so into it.Efra's fave tagalog word.

Guys... literally you are both impressin7g me with the song titles, singers and contestants of the TNT shows that you know.. specially tagalog ones.. love you both.. sending ❤️ from the 🇵🇭 Philippines 🇵🇭.. and yes i am a subscriber 😅

For your karaoke session, please include Rockstar's "Mahal pa rin kita", 80's band, lead vocalist is EZ Mil's father.

Sisiw means easy but literally it means chicks. It can be used in a lot of methapor.

GUSTO KO NG BUMITAW is an original song of SHERYN REGIS back in 2012. MORISSETTE did a cover recently...

emotions and cleanliness are the main criteria in that show. (Di nila pinapakita pero yun talaga kasi maganda naman lahat ng singer diba?

It's all about how you delivered your singing talent that can captured the heart of majority of the audience. You need to touch the very inside of their emotions.

Lovely waleska again

Wow! Antonette Tismo 😍😍😍

I really like this two person to both of you. Godbless

Mabuhay guys mahal ko kayu

Sheeesh i just watched "i mean just now" the original video of this compilation, and saw this reaction 5mins ago. Deyyymm 😩🤣

they are like dragons spitting fire!!!!!

Efra since you began to love the word Sisiw, that word is also used as a filipino expression for Piece of Cake. Example is power belting in Idol Philippines is Sisiw to contestants in it.

Love you guys

Alliyah Cadeliña is the tiktok singer you've reacted to before. Her partner is AD Beat, they do contents together. You've seen her a lot of times

TAWAG NG TANGHALAN was ORIGINALLY a TALENT SHOW in a RADIO STATION in MANILA that started in 1953 then aired later on in TV. This one is a REVIVAL of the program as just one segment in a TV SHOW called SHOWTIME!!

To win in this competition you have to be a multi genre singer one dimensional will not guarantee you to win.

Weeee loovvveee youuuu guyssss❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟

That was awesome👏👏👏
