He’s 55 years young and a grandfather. But look how young looking this guy is despite his battle with diabetes. Watch him sing ‘SPAIN’ in that bus. you’ll appreciate his talent much much better. A total package. Mr pure energy
He’s the Philippines king of Pop, they call him Mr. Pure Energy, then along the way turned Christian! One of the most respected and sought after performer of the Philippines!
Gary V is my all time favorite singer He is a living testimony of God’s miracle As a teenager he was a a diabetic and was using insulin I think he is about 58 years old now
As much as we all love Gary V's beautiful rendition, the song I Will Be Here was originally written and sung by Steven Curtis Chapman while The Warrior is a Child was sung by Twila Paris. Both are gospel singers.🙂
These are all Gary's covers. "I Will Be Here" was originally sung by American Gospel singer, Steven Curtis Chapman while "The Warrior Is A Child" was originally sung by American Gospel singer, Twila Paris.
Yup. He writes Christian/Inspirational songs.. the I WILL BE HERE song, is always included in a WEDDING event here in the Philippines, it may sounded like a LOVE SONG, but it is a christian song. Happy that you guys are loving him.
Well hes not only a gospel singer, he's also an rnb singer, I mean hes the OG when it comes to the rnb scene in the philippines. He inspired a lot of people like kz and the rest. He's a great dancer too.
FYI..guys..Gary V.. was a Stage 2 Diabetic up to now..He embraced God so much eversince...Talent Minister of their Christian Group.. Glad that He is still with Us sharing his God given talent... ( Hallelujah )
Nope..those 2 songs are not his originals. I will be here - Stephen Curtis Chapman / Warrior is a Child by Twila Paris. Gary just made his own version and because he is so good his version is most known here in the phils.
i will be here is composed and sung by steven chapman an american native singer .. but gary v. did an amazing rendition of this song that made this song like his own composition ..
Warrior Is A Child is such a strong strong inspirational song. It can serve as a backrest when you're really tired of fighting off the sh#t of life. Every word of that song just hits. Goin thru something now and everytime I hear this song, i can't just close my faucet of tears.
both of you are getting better and better with your comments... you really speaks now with your mind.. happy for.both of you .. Keep it up. ore power. Love you. ♥️
Mr. Gary Valenciano is actually is known as one of the inspirational singers and song writers here in the Philippines. He wrote a lot of inspiring and life touching songs but he is well known as Mr. Pure Energy and was entitled as the Michael Jackson of the Philippines. Just sharing some info you might need. God bless you guys. Lovelots 😘
He is actually a walking miracle. At a young age doctors said he would not live long yet he proved them wrong. Just a few years back he had a mild heart attack during a performance with his son at ASAP (tv show) and lived to tell about it again. He has been knock down by the enemy numerous time s but his faith always saves him. He is multi-talented, He sings, acts and dances. He known as "Mr. Pure Energy" you got to see his other performances. Please do react to him singing " Spain " on the wish bus. btw love all your videos, your reactions are so authentic. More power!
Gary Valenciano is a Filipino singer, composer, arranger, amzaing dancer etc. he’s a legend. He is the one who wrote the song, composed and arranged. And most of all he’s a Born Again Christian. Very evident He truly love our almighty God. He is type-1 Diabetic for many years. Same here and Born again Christian too.. We are thankful the life God gift for us.
I'm a Filipino, and I'm very proud of Gary v. These songs are one of his best. He is a respected performer and one of the most talented artists here in the Philippines. He a man og god
Thank you for reacting to this. I forgot this song and then I just listened to it again with you reacting to it. I remembered my parents when I listened to the last song.. and I cried. Thank you.
Mr. Gary is almost 60 and it was a once in a lifetime chance to watch him perform and believe me when I say that the studio/recorded versions of his songs and the live ones sounded the same. It's as if he ate his own CD. He IS THAT GREAT. He sang those songs because he's been a cancer survivor and is currently battling with diabetes. He's one of the Philippines' icon. He's really amazing. Mr. Pure Energy indeed.
@@jamesedwardorendain5566 incidental findings bruv. He wasn't hospitalized due to his renal tumors, in fact he was asymptomatic. Him being hospitalized for a heart surgery is blessing in disguise. The doctors discovered his early stage of renal cancer.
Gary V is one of the well respected and premiere artists of the Philippines. I think it was this year that he got a heart surgery. I grew up listening to his songs, from Pop to RnB to gospel. One of my fave gospel song of his is Could you Be Messiah. ... It gets me everytime.
He wrote both songs, his own original composition. He's also married with 3 grown up children, in Philippines the wedding ring is wore on the right ring finger.
I can't believe I am commenting again...and watched you again react to this video. Hahaha...well, it shows one thing, I like your reaction videos. Seriously! But yeah, thank you again for reacting to Gary V and these songs. It's great to see that His heart and love for God came through in this video. He has some health challenges for a very long time now but he does not allow that to stop him. He is a great guy! Oh, and please keep reacting, ladies! will wait for another one from you:)
Maybe he reminds you of Al Jareau, Gary's idol. Gary's had been dubbed the Total Entertainer when he broke into the business in the 80s. That man can sing and dance like Michael jackson during his prime.
.. . Alwayss Mr. Pure energy Sir Gary V forever. He is an inspiration to all. His Original single Warrior Is A Child. He is a Born Again Christian. If am not mistaken he wrote that song and released on Rico Yan's death, an actor who alteady passed away. He is already 55 yrs old and he still looks good. Godbless🇵🇭❤ Thank you so much bigtime guys
You are both right Bubs & Doe! He wrote both songs and what is amazing is not just being a genius in jazz and OPM...well, just search and you will know what I mean. Keep it up!
I Will Be Here was released in 1989, originally written and performed by Steven Curtis Chapman (who also listened and loved Gary's version by the way) for his third studio album More to This Life. The Warrior Is A Child was released in 1984 is originally performed and written by Twila Paris. She wrote it when she was 22 years old with the concept of family and inner spirit in her mind. Steven and Twila are both Christian singers. :)
Gary is a famous singer-song writer, dancer, actor, music producer and tv host in the Philipines. He is also a very religious christian even before he had cancer. Through his faith in God, and the love of his family he overcome and survive the deadly disease. As far as I know, he wrote both songs. Thanks for sharing.
