Gerphil Flores makes the dream possible with an emotional, high pitched cover of “The Impossible Dream.” After, David promises Gerphil that, “the world is going to know about you!”
Most girls hit D6 only using head voice.. whistle voice doesnt even start at d6 it's even higher than that. My friend can hit E6 and F6 in head voice so...
Congratulations Gerphil and stay healthy and safe. God has given you a beautiful voice and your performance in tonight's AGT proved that you are so blessed. I enjoyed and was so moved by your performance especially how you ended the song. Bravo and hope you will shine in projects worldwide. God bless all plans for your singing career! Thank you to the 4 judges especially David Foster who supported you. Mabuhay ka Gerphil at Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
Ateneo Student you can’t tell if it’s a whistle just basing how high you can reach. There’s a big difference on the tone that separates each. I mean they are not connected so you would know.
The price of the tickets sold here ( if it even cost a penny) is just a partial of the price of the tickets if you go to a broadway show.. Truly, the audience in this stadium are very fortunate to get the chance to watch a world class performance for an affordable price.
Oh my god, came to this channel to look for my band khusugtun, BUT THEN WOW, this GIRL! Filipinos, you guys are the best singers of Asia. Love from Mongolia!
Miss Gerphil Flores you are amazing! Philippines you are totally owning this season. Gerphil, Gwyneth, El Gamma Penumbra, Junior New System (and others) - you guys are totally making your country proud. Lots of love, a fan from Indonesia. 💕
Adinda Persilka Ribuan Terima Kasih dari Pilipinas. Sebanarnya, saya rasa kita semua di Asia Tenggara adalah satu kaum saja... a nice dream to contamplate on.
Man ok Jang You're very welcome! And I agree so much I truly wish next season Indonesia will also have contestants as talented as them. Hidup Filipina juga! :)
im from Malaysia.. But, when i watched this... Damn!! Philippines! u guys totally got talent !!! love this Girl!!! plus she also so humble n down to earth... BIG APPLAUSE !!!
Pengumpul Video Malaysian are people who can really appreciate pure talent even though it's from another race. (unlike other asian races like China fk..). Thanks Malaysia! SEA brothers/sistah! :D
Theo Hades Oh I hope so. I can imagine the scene with Christine's first foray into the Phantom's lair and Gerphil delivering her performance with aplomb. :D
I want to sleep. Then I'll say, "Ok, just one more." Then after that, "last one", then "one more time"... Until I repeat it over and over again. With seemingly no end. I have to really push myself out of this Gerphil eargasm trance to get back to sleep. It really was a world class performance. Impeccable. Stunning. Absolutely mesmerizing.
She's also from the University of the Philippines' College of Music, studying there as a voice major! Proves that it really takes good training, aside from talent, to be a really good artist.
Why is the Philippines a very talented country? The dominated everything as in everything like beauty contest, singing, boxing, dancing, and so on and so forth! What filipinos are eating there in your country?
Incredible production.. The set, the lighting, the fireworks, the gown, the choir, the look, the voice.. A true spectacle...Thank you Asia's Got Talent.. Thank you AXN.. Thank you judges.. Thank you Asia.. God bless..
SweetiePie It simply means that "The Best Entertainers in the Philippines" does not know real talent unlike David Foster. We got to move on though. That was 4 years ago. What matters most is that she is discovered by entertainers outside Philippines.
I was guessing her nationality, and all I could bet on was that she's a filipino. I don't know how that happened, but I was right. I don't want to bring the "pinoy pride" thing going on, but I could tell that this is filipina beauty. She's really gorgeous, I'll admire and adore her from now on. And this is a wonderful performance, well done, Gerphil! #nohate #naturalbeauty
sisigman she's filipino still... there is no half in the law of philippines... if you have blood, you are filipino.... there are a lot of halfies in the philippines....
To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest, to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right Without question or pause To be willing to march Into hell for a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart will lay peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To fight the unbeatable foe To reach the unreachable star
Jil Lima I agree! In all candor, and at the risk of sounding irreverent, I think Gerphil's performance easily surpasses the performances of other similar cross-over/classical artists (e.g. Paul Potts, Susan Boyle, Rhydian Roberts, Jackie Evancho) in the finals of a major talent/singing contest. She really pulled out all the stops on this performance and had the courage to go for those high and sustained notes.
Mark Zarco you're right.. from the start of gerphil's singing her voice has a magical effect of a sweet angelic sounds and allthe way to the end.. the strength of her high notes still there... LSS... last song syndrome after you hear her song ^_^
Filipinos dominated that season of Asias Got Talent, 2015. Aside from Gerphil, El Gamma Penumbra (winner) and New Junior System (finalist) made it at the end too plus, the handsome male hosts are both Filipinos as well! They all made us proud!
High notes doesn't matter much to me, what matters more to me is how to handle the song and she nailed it! Good job Gerphil! Keep going! God Bless You :) Van Ness' yellow tie! So cute!
This video should bear a label warning: "Watching this video could be highly addicting. People have been known to miss sleep and meals after watching it and getting hooked!" - LOL! Seriously, it's been more than 2 weeks already and I still watch this repeatedly every day.
That last note, was enough for me, but can you imagine; if she actually does win this show, how embarrassed would the judges from PGT be if that was to happen????....
Destiny. Ano naman expect natin kay Ai ai and Kris parehong luka luka. At saka d rin masyadong na appreciate sa atin ang classical music, mas gusto nila ung mga tipong Marcelino at sino ba ung taga batangas sorry po nakalimutan ko name.
Rahd Salahuddin I hate to say this, but those two judges, dont know anything about talents. They know everything about dicks but talent, NO. They dont deserve to be judges at PGT
I hope Filipinos would show some respect also to her German roots and recognize that as well and start mentioning her nationality as Filipino-German instead of just saying "She's Filipino. Proud to be Filipino" etc. This is also a respect to her German dad... I'm a German and I support her! Please recognize her roots...ok?...
Kesha Pitler Aww.. Thank you so much, Kesha! But really, I'm okay with it whether they recognize me as a Filipino or a German or both. :) My dad's fine with it too. Danke für die Unterstützung! Bist du auch aus Hamburg?
As a 60+ Englishman living in France, I came across Gerphil a few weeks ago after her audition, when she was given the golden ticket. So I am neutral on everything except her voice, which is unbelievable. Listening to her again has finished off the best day of my life in France. [That is another story] I make some observations. She really is a child of the world in this day of instance global communication, and she crosses the bridge from Asia to Europe If she had been on any other talent show she would never have been discovered the way she has been. In David Foster [Canadian] who has produced some of the biggest stars in the world, mostly American, she has the best chance possible. Also he will be able to open doors that as an Asian appearing in the USA she could never open as they are very inward looking musically unless they are endorsed by a very well known American. Think Susan Boyle [Ellen Degeneres] etc German hair colouring - the majority are dark haired. [Look up their world cup team].As a passing note the blonde gene is a weak gene and is projected to die out within a century. The only blondes will have dyed hair. A lot do now. The only other comparable singer is Jonathan [Antoine] who was discovered on Britains Got Talent and has been talked of as the next Pavarotti, still only 19. If you want to know how Americans behave watch the RU-vid video of him singing in USA even though he was introduced by David Foster. So be proud of your nationality but just glory in the fact that, hopefully, the World will discover her. She deserves to be. On a different note try Dani Im [S.Korean/Australian] who is an out an out entertainer, and deserves to be on the world stage. Only singer I know who has a PhD [higher university degree] and can sing anything, just about [classical, jazz, pop, rock - but not rap, well not that I know of, thank God] I also ask will anyone remember the actual winners in five ten years time? She stays on my favourites list for ever. MH [John Smith is the name I had to dream up to please RU-vid]
Gerphil has the best attitude up there as a singer. Like she shows respect to everyone but i notice every time she started to speak she always thank God.. This definitely pictures what type of person she was. You have a bright career ahead Golden girl.
HER VOICE IS AMAZING!!! IMPECCABLE!!! GO GERPHIL!!! I HOPE YOU MAKE IT FAR! With David promising you like he did, it will not be long for your dreams to be achieved!
I do not watch Pilipinas Got Talent. Had to look up the video to find what they did to her. I can't believe they belittled her. So lovely. Glad you are being recognized as how you deserve it ❤❤❤
*"I promise you, the world is gonna know about you"* --- David Foster Win or lose, that's it. That's the prize. That's the ultimate prize. Done. End. Bye.
She deserve what she have now, nakakabilib di niya tinigil yung pangarap niya sa pag kanta in a classical and opera stylessss saluteeeee Nakakalungkot lang hindi na aapreciate ng kapwa pilipino nung nasa Pilipinas got talent siya.
@ 2:27 when she just sang her highest last note, and she had her hand raised in a fist, and the fireworks were falling, and the choir was behind her, and a SINGLE PHILIPPINE FLAG was waving on screen! LOVE THAT MOMENT.
In Philippine folklore, there was a lost legend about a beautiful songbird called IBONG ADARNA. Its heavenly voice, once heard, will heal all ailments and will bring gladness into everyone's hearts. Now,we have witnessed the return of the legendary songbird in the person of Gerphil Flores. Miss Gerphil, thank you for making us believe in legends once more. Maraming salamat!
To hit those 4 octaves @ 2:13 - 2:26 perfectly is just incredible. And David who cannot conceal his exuberance by standing and pointing to Gerphil while seemingly saying "more, more,more", by making that emphatic promise are signs that Gerphil is a superstar in the making.
I first watched this on my phone. Replayed it 50 times until my phone died. Then I switched to my ipad and replayed this video 60 times. Currently watching this on my pc and replayed it 20 times already. Wow! Girl what are you doing to me? You are making me mad! You are making me madly proud and so happy that you reached that impossible dream. Love you Gerphil!
Speak Softly Love, Where Do I Begin, and Impossible Dream....mga kantang kinanta ni Gerphil tumatak talaga sa puso.... hayys di nakakasawa ulit uliting pakinggan, galing galing super galing! isa kang anghel na may ginintuang puso. mabuhay ka!
Ma. Shiela Magtagnob i agree.. all great songs - made even greater by Gerphil's performance! over to the max talent! saludo kami sa 'yo Gerphil, thanks!
Ma. Shiela Magtagnob Felt the same way, Shiela. Downloaded a number of Andy Williams songs tulip. Been singing the songs for 2 days in a row. Hahahaha.
OMGaaaawsh! It's 2018 and I'm still trying to vote! Absolutely, beautiful with a strong and powerful voice! Here's the thing, above all, she never gave up! Did you know that it was in 2010 (I know that this video and competition was in 2015), but 5 years prior, she was robbed of a win as Philippine's Got Talent? This comes to show you that when you never give up, there is no such thing as an Impossible Dream!!! Way to go Gerphil!!!!!!
Every time na mapanuod ko ang mga video this girl, naala ala ko ang comment ni kris, and i was like she deserved more than PGT. And her talent, world deserve to hear this beautiful voice..
Philippines Got Talent needs highly respected judges with credibility and good taste to be able to really pick real Filipino talents and not waste real talents.
Marjorie Villaroman on the other hand. maybe we can leave the PGT judges as they are, because gerphil might have never hit AGT stage if PGT judges appreciated her talent.
Gerphil Flores, with your tremendous talent, good looks, and nice personality, you will reach the impossible dream of success in the music and recording industry.
For me, two factors contributed to make this a truly outstanding performance. First was the way the song was arranged that enabled Gerphil to showcase her vocal technique and range from the very start, then bringing it to dramatic climax at the end with those high and sustained notes, while in between demonstrating that she could sing both in the lyrical as well as bravura style. And doing all of this within the 2 minutes given to her. The second factor was the powerful stage presence she projected throughout the entire performance. As Vanness Wu said, she took control of the stage and captivated the audience. I can tell much planning and practice went into this magnificent performance. Brava!
About Kris and AiAi: The Bad: They crushed Gerphil's spirit in PGT by choosing the other competitor, who sang a pop song out of tune and pretty much disregarded Gerphil's talent, saying she should stop singing classics and sing something more her age. The Good: Gerphil did not let this faze her and she swore she would never to stop singing classics because it's who she is. It was also after her loss in PGT that she enrolled as a student in UP Bachelor of Music, which of course helped make her the greater singer she is today. The other good: Kris or was that AiAi advised her to choose a song that would connect to the audience. For AGT, she chose well-known classics and sang it in opera style, which worked very well in her favor. The worst: In "Aquino and Abunda Tonight", hosted by Kris Aquino and Boy Abunda respectively, they discussed the Filipino AGT finalists, mentioning Gwyneth, El Gamma and JNS, but never once mentioned Gerphil, obviously by Kris's design so she could save face. The absolute worst: mentioned by +Theo Serr and I quote: "the worst part was aside from picking the other mediocre singer as the winner, which she should have deserved, the greatest insult was ai-ai and kris said that she should stop singing classics and use her looks to succeed instead. i can only imagine how infuriating it was for gerphil that she burst into tears when she heard that." The nerve!!! Clearly, their view of talent is so shallow!
ggirl143 O_o talagang in-omit ni Kris si Gerphil? Nakakapang-galaiti! Pano alam kong me mga nagtweet sa kanya tunkol sa progress niya dito sa AGT. Well at least alam na natin na napahiya siya at si AiAi. Kapal lang talaga ng mukha na di makapagswallow ng pride.
ggirl143 no, the worst part was aside from picking the other mediocre singer as the winner, which she should have deserved, the greatest insult was ai-ai and kris said that she should stop singing classics and use her looks to succeed instead. i can only imagine how infuriating it was for gerphil that she burst into tears when she heard that.
NoelGames- Minecraft & More the guy said heard not see , your point of answer is irrelevant coz I already can see her in the video you forgot to take some meds?
She's just 3rd place but the winner is still from the Philippines El Gamma Penumbra shadow play, and the 2nd place was Mongolia's folk musicians. It's controversial, coz i understand they probably balanced it out in fairness for all other Asian countries, coz it wouldn't look good if the two top winners are from same country Philippines.
I like the way she speaks...she shows poise and elegance...and the performance was impeccably flawless and seamlessly nostalgic to hear...I couldn't ask for more...it is really a world class performance!
Damn, I need to buy a new mouse. My old mouse was brutally damaged due to non-stop replay of this wonderful masterpiece !! Filipinos are very proud of you !!
Minecraft Dude08 In this day and age, I don't know why you don't have an auto replay add on for your browser. -_- (I know you're just exaggerating about the mouse clicks, but still...)
Its been year Fame, but this performance is your trademark. Happy to meet you and be your classmate in college. Congratulations and wellllll done, my dear.
