Voice Teacher Reacts to REGINE VELASQUEZ-ALCASID - Araw-Gabi 

Firstly I am a non Filipino from Australia so hopefully my comment will not tread on anybody’s toes. I have recently discovered Morissette browsing through YT and have become a huge fan of her vocal agility and artistry. Of course as one continues the search for more songs and performances of Morissette … one cannot help but to stumble onto more amazing singers from the Philippines. One amazing singer is Regine! I now understand why so many have written in the comments that she is the Queen. I know she is now 52 and probably in her twilight years of her career. But having said that let me say this … after being in the industry for over 35 years her vocals is still freaking awesome. I have watched some of her earlier performances when she was in her younger years especially in the late 80s and 90s and IMO her vocals was right up there with the greats …Whitney Mariah and Celine. I was not surprised how many US singers had Regine performing with them on stage whilst touring in the Philippines. I can understand why so many of the current singers in her country love her and look up to her with so much respect. Trying to emulate and follow someone’s footsteps is the ultimate sign of flattery!

If another Filipino singer were to sing next to her you can see how nervous they are next to her, that’s how much of an influence she is in the earlier stages of Filipino vocal history. But because she has such a motherly energy she really like to comfort and amp them up on stage. Can’t wait for you to see more of her!

I really appreciate your sincere reaction to Regine and how you articulated her skills Am providing the lyrics of the song and i put the english translation ( my edition). Hope you will have a better understanding why she sang the way she sang it. She is a story teller Araw Gabi by Regine Velasquez with English translation It's no joke to write a song for you Di biro ang sumulat ng awitin para sayo I'm like crazy, dizzy and confused Para akong isang sirang ulong hilo't lito I inherited a piano Sa akin pang minanang piyano Keys were forced to play Tikladoy pilit nilaro There maybe a tune Baka sakaling merong tono And suddenly a song came to be Bigla na lang umusbong What can possibly be a song for you? Tungkol saan naman kayang awiting para sayo It's not a joke to scale the notes of a tune Di biro ang gawing sukat ang titik sa tono Even i got 10 dictionaries Sampu man aking diksyonaryo Even if it matches still can't fit Kung man tugma'y di wasto Just think that my feelings for you won't change Bastat isipin di magbabago damdamin ko sayo Day night Araw-gabi You are in my mind Nasa isip ka I dream of you Napapanagip ka No matter where I go Kahit san man magpunta Day night Araw-gabi Intoxicated with joy Nalalasing sa tuwa When you're with me Kapag kapiling ka Day night the two of us Araw-gabi tayong dalawa Jokingly i've said Biruin mong nasabi ko What I wish to convey Ang nais kong ipahatid You just have to know Dapat mo lamang mabatid What fills my chest Laman nitong dibdib Seems i've finished created ten hundred songs Tila sampung daang awitin ang natapos kong likhain This is the true feelings to accept and hear Ito ang tunay na damdamin tanggapin at dinggin Day night Araw-gabi You are in mind Nasa isip ka I've dreamed of you Napapanagip ka No matter where i go Kahit san man magpunta Day night Araw-gabi I get intoxicated with joy Nalalasing sa tuwa When you're with me Kapag kapiling ka Day night the two of us Araw-gabi tayong dalawa Day night the two of us Araw-gabi tayong dalawa Day night Araw-gabi You are in mind Nasa isip ka i've dreamed of you Napapanagip ka No matter where I go Kahit san man magpunta Day night Araw-gabi Intoxicated with joy Nalalasing sa tuwa When you're with me Kapag kapiling ka Day night the two of us Araw-gabi tayong dalawa

Regine has mastered total control of her voice likes she’s just talking to anyone listening. Playful and just raw. :)

The song took me back to my childhood. You know, when you watch an emotional long movie ; when the movie is over, the lights turn on and they play music that both relaxes you and accompanies your emotions. It almost as if your own emotional movie continues slowly inside you.... that's what it is....

THE ASIA'S QUEEN OF ALL QUEENS finally landed on your page! She is THE REGINE VELASQUEZ! The idol of all idols!

did you know that she is 54 years old and yet can still belt...she is our Songbird here in the Philippines❤️❤️❤️

Mama Reg is the mother of singers. She's the devine of all the divas. She don't need to prove what she can. Shes a freak of a nature as per her co-singer. Shes the representation of being the best. She is the standard of the "biritera" in PHL, the ceiling of all biritera. She is sooo effortless.

Her voice is so bright! She keeps it light without losing any of the full loveliness of it. It feels to me as if her soft palate is up and wide and relaxed with so much agility. Lovely. Great reaction and I appreciate your technical explanations throughout - here and in other reactions. Very informative. :)

Never gets old! The Amazing Regine Velasquez Alcasid... I've watched this version of "Araw Gabi" of hers from different sites and I still get goosebumps. She's a Philippine "Treasure and Heirloom", combined into one and even more so. We are so proud of her! Thank you for the fantastic reaction! Because we get it all the time!❤❤❤

I love how you dissect and analyze her technique. Regine is a good subject to study because of a well documented musical evolution. Its interesting to see the changes in her technique from her younger years to present. She’s been the gold standard in the Philippines for decades now. I would definitely love to see more reactions of hers.

This isn't just a reaction, you provided analysis and appreciation of the performance. Your personality is lovely btw, makes me wanna enroll in your class ❤️❤️. And yes, please do a video about her more, those two that you've mentioned are good choices, plus if I may suggest, her version of Piece of Sky (where she wears a pink long gown, with the orchestra in the background) is one of her top-notch performances.

The slight raspiness you heard is unusual of her due to acid reflux after giving birth. She used to own the clearest crystal feminine voice in her younger years.

Congratulations, The Vocalysts 🎉 you have more viewers on reacting to our Queen Regine Velasquez videos😊 there are more of her, actually . I love your in-depth analysis of her singing style. Thank you very much for appreciating Filipino artists ❤😊

Watch her prime..you will not distinguish the difference from her younger years to now at 52yrs old..new subscriber here.

She is Asia’s songbird. At least that’s been her title for as long as I remember. The song title in English is Night and Day and the composer is her husband Ogie Alcasid who is also an excellent singer.😁

Wow u came across our songbird. Shes one the belter here in the phils. Big inspiration to morissette and katrina velarde im hoping u dig deeper about regine velasquez ur gonna love her as well.

"A Piece of Sky" is a MUST. Also, please add Inspirational Medley to your list. Thank you and stay safe.

When it comes to her concert, always a sold out ticket Guys..I love 💕😘 Ms.Regine forever in My ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for featuring the Queen of Music and singers in our country. She's the pillar and backbone sound of singers here. Please try her What Kind of fool am I 2006, red gown .... A Piece of Sky 2003 peach gown..... sometime somewhere in Yellow gown

This entire performance screamed EXPERIENCE for me. Like she leaned back and crossed her legs for the climax - boss moves.

I love how you scrutinise every detail. Great reaction!

Lovely reaction to an obviously seasoned pro’s performance Beth. Really enjoyed that!👍 Don’t know much about her so I’m really interested to see your reaction some her other performances.

before everyone else, there's Regine Velasguez and Lea Salonga. They're my gauge of how good other Filipino singers are. Regine and Lea are legends.

She was given the title of the song bird of asia. She’s the best and one in a lifetime talent. Her voice is so soothing and strong at the same time . Thank you for reviewing Regine!

First, this is The Regine Velasquez, Philippine’s premier Diva, not at her prime anymore. The irregularity that you saw when she opened her mouth was due to a Valda pastille stuck under her gum to help her sing with ease and openly. She has a lozenge while singing. After giving birth, she admitted that she had a hard time regaining her voice and it’s apparent she’s already struggling when she’s singing. You need to watch her performances before she had a child. The girl was a beast! Secondly, that raspiness that you heard wasn’t intentional. That was the damage she incurred due to decades of singing. I mean, not just singing. I mean, SINGING! Kudos to how you genuinely react and educate us in this reaction video. Such a pleasure watching you. Please react to Regine Velasquez’s rendition of the song “Sometime, Somewhere” where she was wearing a yellow dress. You’ll see how she tells a story through a song. She is such a great story teller. You’ll know why she’s Asia’s Songbird. Thank you for this video. Hope to watch more of your reactions! 😊😊😊

And so Queens subjects gathered! That parking area became packed. Fast! So before I knew much of Regine Velasquez. I watched, what was Katrina Velarde's first big concert. Katrina had just did her exceptionally good impersonation performance of "Never Enough", and was sitting on the stage getting ready as the intro to Araw Gabi started playing. As she started to sing, Kat's mic was cut, and instead somebody else's voice took over. Her mind had to have been racing at this moment. The person singing her lines, eventually appeared from back stage, and vwala, it was her biggest music inspiration growing up, the Queen Regine. It eventually turned into a duet, but for the first half of that song, I've never heard Katrina's voice that weak. Actually trembling. The adoration coming from Katrina to this icon of Philippino showbiz was palpable. Will never forget that scene. Think I'm gonna look for it again

I just love to watch you review a singer. Your facial expressions are so great to see. Thanks for this review, more power to you and your channel. ❤

She's the Mother Diva and inspiration to most female singers in the Philippines. She's a judge in Idol Philippines together with Gary Valenciano (they're close friends) and a lot of singing contests in the country.

Whooaaa asia song bird my queen thank you so much pls.more more filipino singers

Asia's songbird came 1st before the asia' pheonix.. ✌️😁😁 shes the master.. the icon in phil. Music.. 😁✌️

Thanks for featuring Filipino talents in your channel..there are more dozens of them who are world class talents like Ms Lea Salonga and others. You will enjoy them because they are amazing and incredible singers. Thanks and more power!❤️🇵🇭

I did not notice that E technique with her mouth. Thank you for sharing that! Thank you also for supporting Filipino artists! 💕Salamat po! 💕 🌼 Have a nice day! 🌼

I love how you appreciate the techniques made of every singer you react to. But more so your smile when you do it. Hence, I'm here to appreciate your value for all of us who enjoy hearing the singers with your charismatic evaluation. ❤️

Thank you for reacting to our Asia’s Songbird. I hope you can react to her performance of Piece of Sky, Broadway Medley with Martin Nievera, Love Story. Thanks in advance😍😘

Finally the Asia's Songbird just landed to your channel!!! Omg love your reactions. Love from the Philippines

The Queen has finally arrived. I think you should react to her Broadway medley with Martin Nievera there's so much to look forward to that performance thank you.

Araw Gabi is just a bonus round for Regine😍 yasss!queeeeennnn! 🥵

Nice to see you've featured Regine Velasquez in your reactions...and as you've mentioned, she is the model for most singers you've reacted already like Mori and Katrina. It would be great for you to interview her one of these days. I believe ASAP, their show with a number of singers/performers, will have a show in Las Vegas...just cannot remember the month

I watched her live years back, she is extremely good...

Her body of work spans more than 30 years of impeccable musicality. Definitely more than enough reason for every aspiring singer to look up to her and follow in her footsteps.

Your good reaction brought me to your channel. I decided to subscribed 🙂 This is a nice suggestion... "Bridge Over Troubled Water (So Hyang Version)" by a Filipino girl group 4TH IMPACT I wish you have many more subscribers.

What a magnificent vocal analysis! My heart always flutters when someone can appreciate the tiny details about her vocal techniques and stylistic choices. You have earned a new subscriber! Looking forward to more vocal analyses of her old and recent performances. Loveee yahhh! 🥰 P.S. Watch first the Broadway Medley first ( I hope that you are referring to with her duet performances with Sir Martin) then, proceed with Reasons. 😌

Regine for me is the best singer in the Philippines with a very good tone and fresh..so nice to listen.

Pls react to Regine & Martin Nievera’s Broadway medley in their concert years back.

You may also try to react on her rendetion of "What Kind of Fool I Am"... Live concert!

Following you Maam. Honestly I like how you analize the singer and the music itself.excellent comments❤

THE BARBARA STREISANDS OF THE PHILIPPINES FINALLY LANDED ON YOUR CHANNEL ✨

This is a good start but I hope you watch some thing older where you can hear her younger voice and how she was so amazing in her prime. You could also hear things more recently where she’s belting her life away, like whenever she sings “rolling in the deep“.

Thank you for listening to vocal power of Queen Regine. Please listen to her rendition of What kind of fool am I?

thanks for featuring my favorite singer, she is really great. you did a very nice and lovely reaction.

The sweetest video reactor who reacted to regine. So Happy to watch😊I hope you react more of regines videos

Please react more about asia’s songbird Regine Velasquez.

This song was covered by Loren Allred, please to her rendition accompanied on the piano by Troy Lauretta.

All the Filipina artists you've heard so far Katrina, Morisette etc are inspired by her.

She's my favorite singer / artist since the 90's 'til now and always will be. She makes songs unique and lovely. I love her a lot =) You are correct about her finesse or her other demeanor when singng, others have seen that as well. There are actually too many videos of her you might love to react. From it you'll know why she is so different. Thank you for your reaction. This is amazing.

Now that you have listened to and appreciated Regine Velasquez Alcasid (pronounced Al-Ka-Sid) and Lea Salonga - check out the musical medley duet they did online for Regine’s online at home concert in 2020. Regine did it for her birthday as a fundraiser for a charity she supports. Regine asked Lea - who she has never done a pure duet with on stage (they were both guest artists at one of Sarah Geronimo’s concerts)- to sing with her. Not surprising, they both sound amazing!

Luv your reactions, never fail to enrich us. Morissette's family discovered her talent in singing when she was 3 years old . When she was left alone in a karaoke machine singing Regine Velasquez song "you are my song" 💛✌💛

Can you believe she is 52yo? She is hailed as Asia's Songbird. She can whistle, too. She's a great singer. One of the Philippines' pride. :)

That's My favorite song Ms.Regs ang galing nyo in Po talaga No need to prove it your Your the best singer here in the Philippines 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️👑👑🌟✨🌟💫💯💯💯

New subscriber here. You are so genuine 😊

if you wanted to notice the TONGUE technique of our Queen please do react or watch her version on ASAP ,the song ISTORYA....at her age she is still the best...GOOSEBUMPS everywhere🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

OMG you just reacted to Regine! She is the Queen!!!! ❤

Now you need to react her version of What Kind of fool am . Like, right now!!!!

I love her voice 😍

Bethany -- Tagalog is such a beautiful language. And when Regine sings "Araw Gabi" (a Tagalog standard), she adorns time.

I really love how you dissect just to give us good analysation. Thank you for that.

I'm just enjoying these videos that really shows the appreciation of the talent and technique of Filipino artists like Regine Velasquez-Alcasid that we here in the Philippines have just been blessed with. Thank you! 🇵🇭

I'm hoping that you'll react to Katrina Velarde's "Magkaibang Mundo and Lason Mong Halik" it's full of emotions! Either the live and the studio version

My daughter so in love with her when voice when my daughter was 16 she been collecting her albums.

They are my no. 1 favorites.... Fil. Singers golden voices... 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Oh that Broadway medley performance was phenomenal! Imma subscribe now so I can watch your reaction to it.

Prime regine Velasquez is the best 🇵🇭❤️ Asia's songbird ❤️

This is a great reaction video. It's not like those typical reactions videos where the person watched it and praise Filipino singers. This one thoroughly listening to the video and taking it piece by piece. I love that.

Hi im here just because yr reaction mis regine Velasquez she ah totally professional singer voice a.k.a the songbird come and visit my country i wanna learn can you teach me for free😂 take care god bless keep doing

You should totally watch those two videos you mentioned! Looking forward to it!

I was waiting for someone to point out her vibrato in the ends.. its like flutter... Sooo fast.

yes, please we'd love you do a reaction video of her Broadway medley with another great singer, Martin Nievera. that would be worth watching your take on their rendition of popular Broadway songs making them sound like pop music.

try Araw gabi by ; Darryl Ong ❤ when you said she was like "humming" YES! you are right, she is the Asia's song bird ❤😊

Hi, I hope you will also check and react to Lani Misalucha sing "Bukas nalang kita mamahalin" on wish bus. I promise you she will not disappoint you. Lani is with the same caliber of Regine Velasquez. As a matter of fact she also had been to Broadway, same with Regine..

I want to say thank you for taking the time in reacting to Regine Velasquez. She is a music icon, a living legend in the Philippines. She is called the "Asia's Songbird" and has been in our Philippine music industry for more than 35 years. Regine is a full lyric soprano with a 4 octave vocal range. During her prime years (90's - 2010) she has a light lyric soprano voice, known for the sweet, feminine, high, bright and agile voice and is able to go up and down the scales and sustain those notes for many seconds. Her tessitura sits comfortably in F5, F#5, G5, G#5. Alot of the vocal reactions made for her are older videos during her prime. And to name a few, here are the list and the link 1.

Did you know that the vocal coach of Regine is her own father. She won champion in one of the famous singing contest her in the Philippines which is the Bagong Kampeon.

I want to see your take on Regine's "What Kind of Fool Am I" on her live concert. 😊

She sings perfect.... The best singer on earth!!!!

Regine Velasquez-Alcasid is the Philippines Asia's Songbird who's singing career has span over 3 decades (36 years). She's been the DIVA of all the Philippine divas and has been the inspiration of new singers (like Morisette Amon, Katrina Velarde, Jona, etc.). You may want to watch, listen and react to one of the best rendition of Barbra Streisand's "Piece of Sky" from the movie Yentl - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TEoTyB0tsDc.html .

Iba talaga pag ang Totoong voice coach o Vocalist ang nanonood o nakikinig ang daming magagandang comments o technical na nasasabi .d katulad ng mga bashers puro panlalait at inggit lang ang alam Sabihin..kaya nd ako naniniwala sa mga bashers kc nonsense mga cnasabi .

You've really gotta see and react to this as well rachelle ann go and lea salonga - the movie in my mind.

Regine. 52. Queen of all queens. If the Phillipines were to be the country of singers. Regine would be the capital city
