Regine at times takes her performances for granted, until eventually it became a habit of hers not to memorize the songs or even the phrasing, and just depends on her familiarity of the song, the teleprompter, and her musicality that she could somehow pull it off no matter. And she does pull it off always, except for that one particular performance that she was not able to save...Listen. I have yet to see Regine perform without teleprompters. Even her performance on the Wish Bus of Araw-gabi. She was holding a print out of the lyrics, and still managed to mess up in the first part, lol. But then she’s REGINE..the QUEEN. And she can get away with it 😉
Regine is also really forgetful. Even way back 1990-92 where no prompter is available, she relied on her memory alone but she really has a tendency to mix up and interchange the lines. This performance is too much though, as her eyes were on the prompter the entire performance. But I get it that this was at the peak of her career. There's not enough rehearsal time given her schedule and I think she's singing and learning like 30 different songs per week from singing and album recording gigs. Still not an excuse for the pwede na performance, but I understand that she must have sung a thousand songs in her 30 year career as a professional singer so she gets a pass for me.
Regine sung this at the Regine At The Movies concert last November 2018. Part sya ng James Bond Medley. Chusko ang gandaaaa. Grabe pakinggan live, para kang lumilipad. Na-LSS ako ng mga dalawang linggo, one of my favorite songs of the night. For this song, her voice has never changed, it only got more powerful and vibrato laden. Bagay na bagay talaga sa kanya ang songs ni mareng Sheena Easton.
