This happened when Martin's life is in disarray bec of his relationships, he hit rock bottom & his career suffered. Gary is a very compassionate friend and that time was on his good prime, career wise. There was a time when Gary felt inferior to Martin, vocal wise he admits. But Gary's dancing & personality is what hits the crowd. These two are a gem to behold.

After hearing Martin and Gary during their time it's hard to appreciate the next generation of male singers doing the same genre that these two were doing. They set a high standard. I used to save my lunch money just to watch their concerts.

moments like this makes you love OPM more.

The first song “ I’ll be there (for you)” was written by Martin for his sons ❤️

Martin is not just a great singer but one of the best talk show host💖

Listening to you, Waleska and Efra, critique the performance made me realize how amazing your parents raised you. Congrats to your parents!

And Efra calls himself a dummy? Those "few" brain cells work wonders .... And Waleska ... Waleska ... so beautiful ... to the eyes, to the ears ... to the mind ... and now, to the heart .... Kudos to "Father" and "Mother" ... God bless you all ...

you guys are the best indeed! thank you for all the beautiful words.

Im a Filipino but its my first time to hear their duet concert . . .I literally cried . . .you really felt he soul the emotion the passion....

the philippines is so lucky to have this kind of singing standard...

I hope you can have Martin or Gary or both of them on your podcast. It would be an unforgettable podcast.

You got it, you've unlocked the secret behind the musicality of the Philippines. Many continue to be baffled, not all have managed to "hit the nail on the head". The evolution goes on and it has been an amazing ride. 😊

Gary V will always have a special segment of his concert that would include a medley of worship songs. I've been to quite a few, he would do that bec he believes no matter what you religion you have, God speaks to you the same way, especially if youre going through a difficult time in your life, it lets you connect with him. I've also noticed that on his live performances especially when he's dancing Gary's voice is on point regardless of exhaustion, but when the worship segment come, there's a bit of cracking, it seemed he's holding he's tears trying to concentrate because he knows he's a vessel of worship and comfort to those who needs it the most.

It’s beyond belief that you reacted to this, never expected this. I’m so glad that you did. I have seen the As 1 concert in LA a very while back. This is the best concert I have seen. Both are funny and excellent singers, the best of what they do. Both icons on Philippine music. Thank you for reacting to them.

Im amazed, Waleska remembered Gary's song. Truly a genuine reactor 😊❤

I was fortunate enough to watch this live. My first time to see martin perform live and i was just so blown away. He does live up to his title of “Concert King”. Martin is a beast on stage.

I’m just so happy that you found one of the greatest Filipino singers of all time, Martin Nievera. He is the Balladeer Extraordinaire and the Phiippines’ one and only Concert King!

Before OPM only circulated within the Philippines, but when the internet was born the world became smaller and the Philippines talents and music become exposed to the world in a good way. This is the kind of music and talents we are exposed to here in the Philipines.

I feel like Martin & Gary just took me to their church. So moved right now🙏 & mind blown🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

This two singers are Philippine legend. When you listen to them you are not listening to the artist itself but you are listening to their heart plus the fact that they are a high caliber kind of artist.

If i'm not wrong, Martin was already a superstar when Gary V joined the industry.they were each others' fiercest rivals since then.they're both excellent singers,songwriters,and were releasing hit songs after hit songs during their prime.some would say that Gary V had an upperhand because of his upbeat/danceable songs which appeal to the younger audience.for me, both are icons.

After listening and seeing the new generation of Filipino artists, it is really nice for you to react and expose the world to those that have influenced the Philippines musical artistry. Just as you have mentioned in one of your reactions, singing is one way to show extreme emotion that when Gary and Martin sing, they sing from the heart so what you just experienced is their hearts and souls fully exposed. This is a really wonderful reaction. Podcast with Sir Gary or Sir Martin anyone? 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you! #PodcastwithGaryValenciano #PodcastwithMartinNievera

They are just like conversing with each other privately through the songs.. and it transcends to us who watch them also in private.. i feel like they are caressing our being.. through music

It's a prayer as a song that's why it touches the heart completely.

Never expected to cry so much this morning. So much genuine emotions, you would really feel their friendship that has stand the test of time. Great Story Tellers

I'ved heard that songs a hundred s of times, but still it made my cry!

This is very emotional because when Martin N. go through trials in life Gary is the one who helped him get back on his feet again. They are really like brothers after that dark times of Martin and from then on one help the other overcome trials. Songs they perform is somewaht talking to each other in reality.

Filipinos are so drawn and fond of female belts (due to the great influence of the Philippines divas especially Regine) forgetting the male powerhouses in our music industry. The two Philippine music icons right there are just part of the big sample of great male OPM vocalists. As well, I would like to say how I love your channel. You are the only reactors who really digged deeper in learning our music culture.❤

The living legends of Filipino music. I have listened and still listening and sanging their songs forever. Thanks for the reaction and you guys are right in saying they influenced big time the Filipino music. God Bless...

Best duet of two great male singers. Admire these two musically superb performers. God bless their wonderful hearts.

Wow, that Martin's line in a fading tune, "You won't give me what I can't bear," struck my spirit and opened the tear ducts of my eyes involuntarily. Worship the Lord. 🙏☝️

these 2 guys influenced me so much that I can sing all of their songs by heart. most of their songs are not about how they sang them, it the lyrics. you see Filipinos love singing, we even love it if the lyrics are meaningful. I'm so happy you guys are enjoying our music, our songs, our culture. Thank you.

*_world class talent from filipino veteran artist. i love you both wlska and efra! keep safe and mabuhay!!_* 🇵🇭 💖 🇵🇭

You guys mentioned alot of wisdom of life that never really meant to come out of your mouth. Spiritually speaking, you have been touched!

Music transcends everything! Two men singing their hearts out. My heart is full.

And to think Martin and Gary had a two-night concert with Lani and Regine..

This is one of my all time favorite songs. And two of my all time favorite singers in the world singing it. These two Filipino singers are the two Royals in the Philippines. This video is golden

It's so deep! Comprehending is far greater than the enjoyment ot watching because spirituality is being nurtured by this kind of a piece of performance. One of the reasons why the musicality of Filipinos is so remarkable and has strong impact is the fact that Filipinos' faith and their spirituality in general are deeply rooted to The One Creator who is The Source Of their Talent, when they sing they are instantly connected to "The Source" because they acknowledge The Source they entrust every performance. This is the reason why most of the reactors of Filipino Singing Contents are able to notice and feel the very emotion of every performing artist, really hearfelt. I can say it boils down to one thing that Filipino Race in general is Musically Gifted. And that Gift that Filipinos are blessed with gives back Glory to The Source and glory to our Mother Land when countless victories had already won from various competitions worldwide. TO GOD ALL BE THE GLORY!

@14:40 Somehow the lyrics made a huge impact on Martin and made him reflect about his struggles. @15:25 He almost cracked and cried midway. Who wouldn't? Imagine Mr Gary V patting your back and reminding you like a big brother..."but then He reminds us all the time buddy". Gary's words pierces right through the heart of even the hardest man.

They are both ANOINTED and healing flows through their voices. Martin made me feel that part so much: “I feel like I’m not what you might call… a worthy Christian after all…” that heartbreak there was so tangible

When efra stays silent for long, you know he is touched.

Now that i think about it. Growing up having them all the time on tv every weekend ive never really appreciated them as i do now thanks for making me realize that. After being here for a long time ive never been too eager to hear daddy herrera with his insight on this video.

I can’t remember how many times I listened to this performance and I really can’t help but cry. I'm sure almost everyone who witnessed this performance was also in tears while listening. Thanks for this reaction. God Bless ....

This pinoy singers artist is what grew up watching when i was kid. I know their elites during their time but now i just realize they are music geniuses. Damn epic performance.

This was amazing . To live in the same lifetime as them.

This is one of the many reasons why I am proud being a Filipino :)

You are both legit in every aspect of life and music... expressing your reaction to people is not a very easy thing to do.. almost like giving your everything ... but sharing your thoughts to others is one of the best purpose in life.. not also we learned from it but it molded us for a better change and to able to help and touch one’s life as well...a second is only what we need , not years to do it .... I’m inspired and touched...

Wow...these performance cant stop me crying😢😭 these is too much soooo emotional!!

This brother & sister are well educated in terms of musicality and very articulate in delivering their opinion. Kindly try to get an interview with our legends like Regine, Martin, Gary , Jaya, & Lani on your podcast.

Martin Nievera is been my favorite singer at all times...I've seen his concerts many times ..He is and always been worth watching live. Mucho Gracias!

Hello there From the Philippines I really love how u talk and how u praised filipinos. Very true from the heart Thankyou

the last video of kiana that you reacted to - the guitarist was actually martin’s son 🙂

A Sir Martin or Sir Gary podcast would be one for the books. They both are fun and joyful to watch and talk with, but they transform into a beast when it's time for singing. It is not just singing for them, it's telling their story, not just any story. They are and will remain legends. Hoping that you could make them appear in your podcast. Your insights and their knowledge in one podcast will be heaven on earth. Thank you Waleska and Efra.

My first time to see waleska cry while reacting. Well, i teared up, too.

Another male singer to check out is Basil Valdez. He is one of the best also in OPM.

So beautiful, both of them brought me to tears...every time I hear “take me out of the dark”...it strikes straight to my soul. God bless them both🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I always love to watch your reactions... Its more than just reactions... your insights to the technicalities of the songs, to the lyrics, to the performance and to the artists themselves... I hope you can get Sir GaryV in your podcast someday....

Legends are legends for a reason. What an incredible moment in time. Martin and Gary thank you!

This is why I love watching your videos. You guys delved deeper to the music icons in the Philippines to better understand why new artists have strong foundation in their craft. Thank you! Loves and hugs to both of you! ❤️

this is the answer of why the new generation of singers in Philippines are one of the best if not the best. you unlocked the mystery.

This is my first time hearing this duet of theirs (and I've listened to them separately for decades already). Amazing harmonies!

super fan here, just been following and watching your reaction vidz but this time just cant help but comment. I admire just how you both expressively and intellectually been sharing your bright ideas in music. At the same time, it amazed me how you both can easily get connected to Filipino talents and music style. And youre crying, sorry 😘🤭🤗. Love you both ☺️

Gary and Martin way back were being pitted against one another. They were both famous in their own right. Contrasting styles. But they turned out to become the best of friends, even in their personal lives.

I cried a bucket ❤️🙏. I was touched tO the bones. These two are both phenomenal then and now and forever. I heard these songs a gazillion times but this by far is the most moving rendition ❤️❤️ Epic!!

When there are 2 or 3 people gathered in God’s name, it is a prayer and when you sing a prayer, it is 3x more powerful .

Very timely for you to react to this on a good friday...yes I cried too...thank you...❤️🙏🇵🇭

One of the best..!!!!! Best of the best Kings of OPM (original Pinoy music)

Hi Waleska, the thing you probably can’t visibly make out is God’s anointing radiating through Gary and Martin. They can be talented but without God’s anointing, they’ll just be singing lyrics. I remember Kuh Ledesma (one of Philippines’ most prominent singers) was asked in an interview, what is something that you don’t want to lose and she said “God’s anointing” for without it, she’ll just be singing mere words and I think that’s just powerful

Pinoy artists when they sing and perform do not just sing ,they could go beyond the song. And you can feel it musicians ,performers and the viewer's connect. That is magical ..Your reactions are great

Proud to say that I was able to witness both the Philippines’ concert king Martin Nievera and concert queen Pops Fernandez. They were the first concert I was able to watch during my teens and I thought that all concerts are the same but to my dismay, it’s not. The reason y they’re called the Philippines’ concert king and queen. It’s phenomenal. Martin is superb!!!! He’s a must watch.

Most of the youtube reactors are into the new singers from the Philippines, only looking into who can hit high notes or give the best runs. It's nice to see a channel like this to react to the legends/veterans and to our bands, they are the pillars of OG OPM and then how Sarah G changed the scene for the new singers to challenge themselves and give us the modern OPM.

They’re the living legends here in the Ph...Gary is known to be as Mr. Pure Energy whilst Martin on the other side is known as the Concert King along with his ex-wife as the Concert Queen. Thank you 😊

It seems to me that Efra is a master in expounding philosophical ideas (life itself in general) while Wale is a master in musical technicalities. She's very pretty today. Not that she was not before -- I just love simplicity. I notice she loves expressing herself artistically thru her make up. I like these siblings a lot. I can listen to them talk for hours without getting bored.

Pinoys gonna love you more with this vid... The respect and proper timing of pauses and when to comment is impeccable. May you never get tired of finding new music that feeds your soul and curiosity rather than those that give more views... You're officially my go to channel to discover new music and videos. More power and More subs!

I’m not crying... you’re crying 😭😭😭

The best songs and the best singers duet ever…very deep and emotional songs, trusting friendship meaning that makes your heart cry…a worship songs…the LEGEND

Thanks for finding these two filipino icons.it's so heartwarming to hear how other artists appreciate great talents.awesome reaction and insights.👏👏👏👍👍

EFRAs mind SPEAKS. WALESKAs SPIRITUALLY FLOATS. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

They sing each others song! WOW! Martin is actually crying….ohhhh! and Gary V shed tears after the song!

And they did all these spectacular vocalizations sitting down. If you know, you know.

Very timely for the holy week.

Context : These are 2 of the artists I frequently hear growing up in the 80s & having 2 brothers. But, most especially Gary Valenciano, and for his song TAKE ME OUT OF THE DARK. We have more often than not Catholic schools in the Philippines & part of catechism, and towards high-school, we go on religious retreats. A weekend away sponsored by the school, for religious instruction, contemplation, & meditation. That song, is more often than not, played at these retreats. Most especially when you write and exchange palanca or affirmation letter, with friends or your family members. Many of Gary V's songs are Praise & Charismatic songs. If you take a listen to his version of LEAD ME LORD - its a hard hit to your heart, when you have a very deep conversation with GOD in a retreat. Not to mention he matriculated from the same Catholic institution of De La Salle. He's one of our heroes. Gary's music just hits most Filipinos who have been to these activities, very deeply and emotionally. I tear up all the time. Because it means a lot and I have very touching memories of all the retreats I have been to. Thank you for loving our artists. It means a lot to have them seen more, by the world.

So happy you watched this. ❤️ I’ll Be There - For You (Martin’s Song) was our elementary graduation song. I was bawling during the ceremony because of this song. So memorable. 💛

Crying my eyes out hearing them singing my favorite songs. Sir Garry Valenciano and Sir Martin Nievera, no doubts, are legends to Philippine music industry. They do not just let you appreciate the art of music, they transcend emotion behind their music. I love them both. I am praying that they’ll still continue touching hearts thru their music for a long long time.❤️

Bravo the best singers and performer especially Martin. 👏

This pandemic situation and you listen to that songs with that artists is really impeccable. Wow! My first time seeing Waleska cried. 🥺😌

This performance is so full of brotherly love

And to think, their rivalry cut the nation's fandom in half. Their hindsight though admits that said rivalry just fed off from each other to raise the bar of their chosen craft to out-do each other. On that note - THEY OWNED THE LATE 80's and the whole of 90's in the Philippines... (^_^)

this is just an enlightening, inspiring and positive performance!

Watching in awe of this crying without even the intention to cry. God is indeed unfathomable.

Ooooh I cried soo I've never been emotional like this in awhile thank you for this reaction you guys!

I feel you Waleska.. I was crying while watching too. 🥲🥲🥲

You discover the real music and talents here in the Philippines, congrats

Yes. This kind of music is what we grow up for.

PLEASE REACT TO SHERYN REGIS SINGING "COME IN AND OUT OF THE RAIN" ON THE WISH BUS.

Among all the videos that you reacted this is my ultimate favorite! I watched it 100times and I cried everytime. Thank you and I always love you both. This song makes you cry your heart out to God and let him lead the way.

One of the greatest gospel songs I've ever learned singing.if you try singing that song you have to give your all because your singing to the creator.🙏💕

It's been so long since I heard Martin and this reminded me why I loved his singing... my fave male singer when I was a kid

Thanks for this video reaction... the songs and your reaction made my day. It is really so important to have a relationship to God in Christ Jesus.... thanking God for bringing two artists together like Gary and Martin to write inspirational songs like these to uplift people's heart and feel the love of God. Thank you, too Waleska and Efra for reacting to this video.
