Why Filipinos are good in mimicking? Because most Filipinos don't have a proper lesson when it comes to singing. We learn how to sing by listening to songs and singing along with the tune. Thus, we ended up copying the original singers even their tones and pronunciation. Filipinos are resilient people and our ability to adapt really fast is quite remarkable.
Pinoy din ako.. other nationalities are just as resilient.. the real reason why a lot of pinoys can sing is karaoke.. simply that
Not just by singing but also with learning other languages, some says Filipinos are like human parrots
hindi rin
cringe
coz we don't cry we just sing
When you can't afford vocal lessons, singers resort to mimicry to form a benchmark. Then you build on that.
Maybe we should do operatic voice more😂😂😂

Facts
Makes sense
But that's stylistic not technical
Mimicking? No , you guys just have a gift in singing maybe not all Philippines 🇵🇭 but most of!! Love you guys.. from Brazil 🇧🇷 and USA 🇺🇸
We do mimic unfortunately. Our culture rewards those that can mimic the best singers out there. As a young kid, I was always forced to sing the same way as Celine Dion and Whitney Houston and so from a young age, we do not get to develop styles that match our tone and vocal range. In amateur singing contests, you hear everyone singing the same way, the person who sounds more like the original wins.
But that’s changing slowly in the media. People are starting to recognize and appreciate different singing styles and genres.
Mimicking/imitating maybe one of the factors. But the main reason for this i think is the versatility of the filipino language. Most pinoy artists can easily do rap. Comes to mind are EZ Mil, KZ Tandigan and many others even Bini a ppop group do this. No other countries can come close.
The thing I learnt growing up as a filo.
When listening to a song we like we first copy how the original singer sings their songs and copy their high and low pitch.
To me, it's like having OCD on singing...
We must get every part of the song perfectly.
And after mastering it, we add our personality onto it to make it sound a bit more unique but not too much away from the original.
Then another song we like, we rinse and repeat the same thing.
Also, we deeply hate auto tunes 😅 (but maybe add some echoe in karaoke 😁)
BRO THATS EXACTLY WHAT I DO, I never really even grew up with singers except from a couple friends, but everytime since I was I kid and wanted to learn a song, that would exactly be what I do
@user-dz8tv4mg5o I'm a filipino who grew up in Sydney Australia.
And Aussie English slang has a thing where we shorten words like example;
McDonald's = Macca's
Breakfast = Brekkie
Afternoon = Arvo
Sunglasses = Sunnies
Filopino = Filo('s)
It's very common saying those words here in Sydney. 😉✌️
@user-dz8tv4mg5oslang yan mhie filo HAHAAHAH huli kana sa mga slang slang
@@DDRjason how old are you?
@@Robloxgamer-ol9iw 36 years old.
I grew up listening to songs like Boyz II Men, All 4 one, Jimmy Bondoc etc. Mainly 90's and 00's music was my life.
I think it's because a lot of Filipinos who are good at singing aren't actually privileged enough to take formal vocal lessons that would have taught them to find their own style and use techniques so the good singers initially just pick up on songs by listening and sing it the way the singer originally sang it. That, itself, is still a talent though because it's hard to sing at the original key of some songs esp if you're actually not trained. The talent then is still innate.
Singing lupang hinirang evrymorning monday to friday 😂😂 I miss my elementary days..
AHAHAHA
True
😂😂😂👍👍
for real. you don't dare sing off key lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
According to a Research Filipinos are good at imitation because the Tongue is Flexible unlike other
My mum took me to some singing lessons in middle school when she noticed i showed some interest in musical theater. On the first day, our voice teacher made us pick a song to sing to gauge our style and test our range and I think I did well because my teacher said my performance was beautiful. But during the actual exercises, I sucked. I can't identify the notes or match them and when I was made to sing along to a melody I've never heard of, I was so bad my teacher was getting frustrated. Also, the teacher noticed my singing style and voice quality change depending on the song I picked. he tried to help me find my raw "unadulterated" singing voice but when we found it, it was not as good as my mimicking. In any case, the interest in musical theater was just a phase and I discontinued the lessons and gave the teacher some peace. I wasn't heartbroken about having boring raw vocals. besides, my mimic singing is always a hit at karaoke.
This is NOT a bad thing
As matter of fact, this is a huge compliment in your singing ability.
Singing by itself is already hard enough.... Now singing while imitating someone's tone, range and phonetics, that is MUCH harder.
And that is what makes Filipinos great singers -- vocal versatility and adaptability
The thing about Filipinos is that it is in our culture that almost all Filipino kids immediately get exposed to music. Kid's below the age of 6 is the developing state of a brain when what they learn or listen to gets inpirnted in their mind for a lifetime, this theory is usually associated with Perfect Pitch. That being said, music already gets imprinted in young Filipino's mind once they get so much exposure to it. With a little vocal practice, they can eventually sing.
Finally, a person with humble, reasonable and non delusional explanation. Salamat po sir/mom
Yeah! And that’s what i love about us!
That is to say, Filipinos are not "borns singers". Singers are developed from based on their up bringings, their enivironment, and their experience.
my earliest merory of singing karaoke was because of one of my titas , a youngest sister of grandmother, quite literally handed me the mic to sing torete and would sing along with me even though i was out of tone and shaky and shy. with her singing along and was encouraging, which made me more less shy and just enjoying singing the song.
that's how kids are exposed to karaokes. even as an adult i feel more confident and reassured if my family sings along with me.
@@alvodin6197Most people's comment are pretty reasonable to me. Filipinos are good at mimicking then we build on that, it's in our culture, etc. You just seem eager to call most delusional to appear different. Yikes.
I don’t think it’s meant to be insulting, as it is a fact. Filipinos are mostly self taught when it comes to singing because most cannot afford voice lessons, so they learn theough mimicking techniques from other artists. That in itself is a valuable skill ! ! ! And the fact that it applies to so many that it has become a positive stereotype, I think of this as a complement more than an insult 👏🏻
I hope more Filipino singers and artists will continue to be recognised and appreciated all over the world 🩵
Just check out Arnel Pineta for Journey. Not only was he able to mimic Steve Perry but excelled in singing like him!
It is God given talent to the Filipinos......they are trained since they were 5 years old and up.....they just listen and from the bottom
of their hearts...they sing!...with a
golden voice....Praise God!...
Great info, and good comments. Personally speaking, I have performed with Filipinos (as part of my backup bands) in 50+ cities across the Philippines (plus 300+ cities in other countries using local Filipino singers), and I’ve never encountered one who didn’t have a very good voice. It’s amazing. Surely gifted by God! Plus it helps that every child in school years sings Lupang Hinirang (the Philippine national anthem) which has a crazy range of 1.5 octaves with key changes, that helps them develop a good ear early in life. Filipinos of every age love singing Karaoke, it’s a staple in their lives and a huge part of their culture, and typically the Karaoke machines grade them after each performance, helping them to continually get better and better.
(They also emulate, assimilate and pick up local lingo, dialects and languages well. Eg this girl said “like” 25+ times in one minute, which is typical of today’s “modern” grammar.)
Everyone mimics at some point,it's not just a Filo thing but if we mimic,we choose the hardest ones to showcase our vocal range.Do they even know we also produce our original songs?i say your teacher is lowkey looking down on us.
This the sickness of filipinos. Balat -sibuyas. Instead of seeing a criticism as a different perspective and a chance to elevate. Offended inatupag. The filipino ego is our worst enemy.🤦🏻♀️
This!
@@saewhaif its a good song that showcases our vocal techniques, why not sing it to perfection? Besides a lot of us are singers not composers. Though a lot of us can actually impromptu songs but its usually for funsies or a joke song.
Just think of it like we really like the singing part.
Vocal teacher sounds racist. We don't label singers by race.
I don’t think it was meant as an insult. When the teacher said mimicking, they probably meant vocal styles and technique because let’s face it, those who did not get vocal training learn from listening to the greats. When you sing like that growing up, that will have an effect anatomically as well and the mechanics in how we sing later in life. And they’re just recognizing that specific pattern in most of our singers. That’s not being racist. They’re not saying the music we produce are copies - they’re talking about vocal technique.
I remember how my sister mimic a song from an opera, it's from the phantom of the opera. She really has a similar voice or wrange with the actress, she also mimics the pronunciation and diction😭😭😭 very clarooo
WEEH D NGA AHAHAH
@@boratbagatov9728 girl legiit!! I was so shock nga kasi ang ganda ng pronunciation niya tapos nasa tono talaga😭 13 yrs old siya that timeee
It’s actually true. Although I take that as a compliment, sometimes I also get tired of it. That’s why I appreciate those Filipino singers who has a really good originality. Aiza, KZ, Yeng, etc. Like you can tell that they were the one who is covering the song because they apply their own style on it.
look the truth of the matter is filipinos love singing ! most of us can sing reasonably well. yes some can imitate great singers but that's not the point - singing for us is a way of life- with all our struggles in life - we find comfort in singing not so much of being great or popular ( that just a bonus) what is more impt and the great reason behind Filipino why most filipino are singing is because we know how to sing with different emotions - we sing when we are happy we sing when we are sad, we sing to give glory to our Lord and lastly we sing with HOPE that we can endure everything coz we are Filipinos who can make still be ok as long as we can sing and we believe in God. because God is love and hope. thats the deeper meaning of our singing. we do it coz we enjoy it and we thank God coz we are alive to sing. And as long as you are alive then there is hope of better tomorrow! popularity or trying to be the best are not the main point of why we sing!
It simply shows filipinos can do what foreign artists can, and sometimes even better
Also Filipinos have tons of original hits of course, it is just fun to sing songs better than the original artists…singers all over the world cover each other’s songs
That's how we become Greta singers. We mimick first to learn the originals artist's style. Then as we grow, we find our own voice. But at least we don't rely o. AUTOTUNE not like those western singers lol
The fact that you immediately have to defend yourself just shows how insecure Filipinos are. Yes, Pilipino ako.
@@alvodin6197 lol right. Wala namang pang-iinsulto sa "filipino style" na pagkanta.
Pero somehow, nakahanap pa rin ng way para ma-offend. And, nagawa pang mang-insulto sa western artists.
It's giving superiority complex, tbh.
@@alvodin6197sad fact, so much of this behaviour is so evident with their comments in social media. 🙁🙁
I’m Half myself
Thay are master mixers (Mixed-voice)
that's why they sound like the originals!!
they are fantastic an example of healthy singing
What a coincidence the video just below this is exactly saying that (master mixers), while reacting to a Filipino singing on a karaoke 😂
Well, there's a saying that goes: "the best way to admire is to imitate" that's what makes Filipinos great in singing. We love mimicking at first then later on find our own like most people say( I'm lucky I got it from both parents who loved music❤ may they rest peacefully in heaven🙏🏼missing you Papa❤Mama)
That's what I've been thinking. My father always compliments me that I'm good at singing, and I told him once, I'm just copying what I'm hearing. And he said, but not everyone can do that. That's a talent.
That just sounds like a great alternative way to practice singing
Weird the teacher would say that as if that were some revelation. People learn everything via mimicking. We learn through copying them once we get good with it we add our own interpretation of what we copied. We copy sounds and movements of writing utensils to learn words. We copy techniques to sing and play instruments. We copy movements to walk, run, and swim.
I smell a jealous teacher haha
Was about to say this as well. You beat me to it. Lol
Actually that's 100% true. It's true mimicking that Filipinos gradually learn and eventually make their own style of singing. Mariah, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and other great artist were the teachers.
the lyric breakdown was spot on! definitely waiting for more SB19 reactions like for Bazinga or Crimzone! ❤️🔥
Because mimicking in such a perfect and powerful way is called a talent ang god gifted
Coz we close to perfect the song from the original singer. We listen, listen, listen and give the best performance and emotions like no other. Our passion for music is immense.
The fact that Filipinos can mimic amazing singers with amazing voices is just the top of the ice berg. First that’s without any lessons, but just watching and listening to other artist, second, can you imagine what else they can do once they have the proper guidance and lessons?
We're told that Filipinos are also good with copying accents (this was during a communications training for a bpo) something to do with our facial built.
She nailed it with a hammer. The teacher has a point there.
Filipino mimics and sounds better than original😌😂
The downside tho is that we don't innovate as much. Even charice pempenco's tour compose of mostly cover songs
@@saewha exactly my point.
At the end of the day, covers never win grammy
Especially if the original singer and the filipino will perform live
Good singers...but need to do more originals than covers.... btw, im filipino
Exactly 🎉
Michael Pangilinan to Ed Sheeran Perfect
Charize version to Jennifer Hudson
it is so true..we are very good at mimicking others..I remember this old Filipino song and the lyrics said when we copy others,we sounded better than the original
It’s true. Because of western influence in our country. If anything we’ve learn to speak better English because of it. Filipinos are adaptive people.
It's actually a compliment as a Filipino singer because the ability to imitate requires ability to hear the distict nuances of a vocal tone and that called musicality skill set in hearing those notes. Then singing it to replicate the original requires vocal muscles and vocal control. So we should say thank you if you hear it. Btw, every singer's unique vocal tone vocal tone nuisance will always come out no matter how good you are at imitating another singer. Classical singers btw is actually the one doing more mimicking techniques in vocal placement.
As a Filipino, I grew up only listening to the radio. Also, at every family reunion, there should be a karaoke and I just imitate my relatives how they sing. I don't know anything about vocal lessons since my parents don't enroll us in summer classes. Listening to the radio and imitating the singers is how I learned how to sing. It was only after years of exposing myself to music was I found my own style in singing. Having formal vocal lessons here in the Philippines is a privilege.
Ok I’m Filipino and I absolutely love singing like every other Filipino probably. And yes I have noticed I mimic the singer and I think I finally developed a singing style for me and know my range so then I tune it to myself and it’s really fun :)
"Plakado" is what it's called and has been an aspiration of generations of Filipino musicians.
Filipinos are fast learner & teachable
Deserving because it’s our obsession to do what’s the best… It is in every thing we do “🎼We do it for you Lord🎼
That is always the goal,singing exactly the original singer/song and then master it and then experiment around the song,then sing it better,its always the aspect of continues challenge..
@saewhabut those people who sings the original are rare, u will meet a lot of people who sings with mimicry with a twist of their own style after a year or more.
People here keep saying we dont have proper vocal lessons...helloooo..mariah carey, Christina Aguilara and many many more didnt have voice lessons when they started. They all were influenced by their predecessors, but they always have originality in the way they sing. Heres my take on filipino singers, yes we are good at mimicking but we dont have that voice texture that western singers have. Theres always something that hits different when a westerner sings the first few notes...the texture and quality are just golden. Filipinos can easily improvise an original song because these songs were already spoon fed to us. We cant write catchy songs or make melodies like westerners do. There are only very few, extremely few filipino songs that took my breath away. Filipinos listen to English songs, and we get ideas from mariah carey and other singers when it comes to style.
Anu pinaglalaban mo??
@richardranido377 I expected a toxic Filipino reply like yours. My opinion is very straightforward. basic English. don't want to repeat myself. If you want do your research sa mga western singers. FYI, regine Velasquez went intensive vocal training. so I'm being fair with western singers too. I'm not bias just because I'm a Filipino. Ganito problema natin eh, pinoy lang, bias agad.
@@vanessatrevs ikw un toxic DTO Galit k sa mga proud Filipino na nag tell n Wala tyun proper vocals lesson Pero magalin p din kumanta compare mo p sa sikat n professional n singer? Vs hobby lan kumanta un b pinaglalaban mo?
@richardranido377 galit sa proud Filipino...Saan utak mo? sa pwetan? which part of my 1st message na galit? ikaw ang na offend in the first place in my opinion. Ayan tayo sa proud pinoy mentality eh. I recommend you watch videos about this proud mentality is dragging us down. Madaling ma offend sa opinion na hindi align sa kanila. Kaya I was ready for this eh kasi ako lang may iba opinion dito. I'm not putting Filipinos down, I was saying we should check facts first before agreeing and never be bias. kasi dyan tayo palage may problem eh..bias. yan ba proud ? kaya I made it clear na I have some few Filipinos singers that I like. I would be a liar If I said I like all Filipino singers. ano tayo? robot? same pag iisip?
Ohh here comes the haters !!! I completely agree with you. glad to see a comment I am in agree ment with .. u are spot on btw .. i can appreciate the OG's Like Martin , Gary or Regine.. Atleast you can immediately tell who is singing immediately immediately after the first line ..
I basically learnt singing japanese and korean without reading the romanized lyrics. I mostly imitate. Lmao
Dang, I understand. I had a voice coach who talked like that. He told me I sang "off the instrument." Then, after hearing some of my other relatives (incl. my Mom!), he concluded that it might be a family thing...so he worked with me to "fix" it.
Bottom Line: if it's an aberration that could harm your vocal chords, ask if it can be fixed. You probably already have a beautiful voice, so MAYBE it can become exceptional. Good luck with your career! 💫
We sing with songs so yeah we imitate them because we love how they sing and slowly become better
When I was a 9 years old I heard someone say that Filipinos are the greatest imitators.
ofcourse we only rely on hearing and mimicking what we are hearing on the radio. videoke and karaoke is the key to polish our voices
The truth about why most of us can sing is that, we are obligated to sing everywhere,anywhere no matter what age..
There is a TON of stimulation when it comes to singing in our culture.
Whether u are singing the national anthem, the hymn in front of the priest or even karaoke at your tiya’s birthday..
There is always a moment where we have to sing since childhood.
And it’s true, voice lessons are only for the rich.. most of our greatest singers get those lessons when they want to when they are successful. We have a term kanta kanta lang.. thats means just singing, and btw they love sopranos and tenors, which is what we call “Birit/Biritan”. You are a good singer when you know how to belt those old ballads!
I often heard that growing up even Filipinos in local TS station , that we are great imitators. Nothing wrong with that
mimicking the original singer of the song is a technique we Filipino use to learn the dynamics and the singing style of the singer,so we can use the dynamics and techniques to have our own singing styles..
Filo here. I mean, mimicking is a skill too. Sound the same + feels right without strain + can sustain the phrase + support. Hearing and and executing it, isn’t that amazing? Vocal lessons are often not easily accessible to anyone, therefore, most people resort to this option. I’ve tried this mimicking ofc, thats why i can say, there’s that moment ‘ah so that’s how she does that’. If there are things i cant do, youtube lessons/tutorials are easily accessible nowadays. When i have more money i want to try operatic style of singing ^^. Wish me luck.
I am a filipino. And i remember my colleague said i sound like the original artist whenever i sing different songs, just randomly singing along the radio. Well, that was during my 20s. Now, it's kinda different after keeping my voice unused during the pandemic.
That’s true. Many are not originals they can belt but not really create their own signature
Exactly my point ..
We have a lot ofOriginal Filipino songs. Maybe for you was not a signature song cuz the songs are all in tagalog or Filipino words. In fact the song ANAK were translated in more than 20 languages of different countries.
I am proud to be a Filipino ❤❤❤
It's called *_low-key _**_#backhanded_**_ _**_#compliment_* from that teacher . . . for whatever it's worth. It's true. That's it. No arguments.
The other day I've been watching the bird that singing in the tree almost 1/2 an hour and does different sounds of songs --- I was so mesmerized. THAT'S THE FILIPINO FOR YOU LIKE THE BIRD NIGHTINGALE
True!that's what I'm talking and explaining about,who question about Filipinos singing.its kind of mimicking,I'm male and I can mimick female singers and hit the note.
Because all you have to do is listen. You start from there.
Actually now that I think about it Gigi De Lana did sound EXACTLY like Hayley Williams in her Paramore cover of "Decode" to the point it was low-key scary.
sometimes better.😊 can Hayley sing that Unholy song that good?!
i actually started singing at 4yrs old, imitating Jessa Zaragosa, then had voice lessons for 3 mos in UP Diliman, i quit coz i don’t wanna make it a career, after college i went back home for a couple of months, my mom noticed im good at imitating Dua Lipa, Rihanna, Adele, The Weeknd & many more, she said i should try voice acting, so i did as a sidelined and i got my first project later on but stopped coz in the following year i had thyroid enlargement problems. But anw it’s true, we’re sharp listeners & good at copying notes and styles it’s crazyyy
Prove of it is Arniel Peñieda, i didn't mean that he is a copycat of Steve Perry but the Band itself said that his voice was same as Steve Perry.
Edits: by the way the band that i talked about was Journey
Not sometimes better but always better. The reason for Innovating!
filipinos are a great imitator especially at singing!
agreed Filipinos are good at mimicking. even when learning languages, Filipinos can learn the local language fast, save for those who have heavy accents like the mothers of the Fil-Ams
When i was young, I can mimic the voice of every member of every boyband..every lead singer of every band.every male singer that came out.
We dont have voice lessons, so we emulate styles that we hear.
It has something to do with the complexity of the native twang of the Filipino dialects...
Even Cebuano singers are different than Southern tagalog singers. It's not just because of the mimicry.
The Truth is because when we were at Elementary School we sang Lupang Hinirang every morning before we study.
Just imagine how hard for us singing Lupang Hinirang. 😂😂😂
I mean it's a very high note
As a fellow Filipino, definitely resonated with this. When I was younger it was a compliment to be able to sing and sound the same as the original singer but even now, I still don't know what my real singing voice is. Whenever I try NOT to sound like the original artist, I end up struggling so I eventually switch back to mimicking coz that's the easiest way to go.
So true...Filipinos have a great ear for music...I'm not a good singer but i can Mimic singers😅
Mimicry, if you know the Philippines' history and culture, is something that Filipinos are sharp at.
Arnel Pineda..... 🎤💧 🎤💧 (mic drop).
This Filipino man is an absolute LEGEND!
He can reproduce Steve Perry from Journey better than Steve Perry could sing Steve Perry. How he went from street busking and playing small gigs with his band to be the lead of Journey is an amazing story. What makes it so unbelievable is his size. Singing is moving air and he moves a lot of air when he sings and he's only 5'4".
Read about how Arnel Pineda became front man for Journey. It's a truly inspiring story.
There's nothing offensive about it. It's completely accurate. Being able to translate that so well is what makes it so impressive.
I am Indonesian but i like Filipinos singer!but if i hear they singing i can't recognize them almost same with original!except morisette with her husky voice and moira with her unique voice!the other is almost same type voice but they are all amazing
A long time ago The famous Johnny Mathis visited Manila and heard a few Filipino singers,his comments was yes you’re a good singers but can you create an original songs! That was a profound statement by him.
There are a lot composers here, he didnt meet them I guess. So its win win, a country with great vocals and good at poems.
of course....too many fil are songwriters!
Agree.
I (we) judged singing base on how close it is from the original.
A beautiful Filipina!
It's also because of Filipino culture..... Remember that our forefather's first move in courting a girl is through HARANA
When you sing so well and you mimic and almost sound like the real artist who sang the song then that’s when your vocal teacher will started to hate. It’s mind blowing to them.
I think our diverse language plays a huge role in this.
FILIPINOS are known to be the greatest emitators in the World👏🥰 🤩
In a good way!
All great singers mimick when starting out until they hone into their own style. Plus, formal lessons don't mean that much. No vocal coach ever taught me anything I didn't already figure out to do myself by listening and practicing.
🇺🇸🇵🇭 Always better #evenbettertgantherealthing🎤😉🎶
That is accurate and the truth I am a Filipino and I mimick other people when they sing I'm 11 btw and a boy but it's easy to sing for me because I can mimick other people
BACK IN THE LATE 60's OUR TEACHER SAID THAT FILIPINOS ARE GREAT IMMITATORS😊 A FRIEND TOLD ME THAT JAPANESE TECHNICIAN WORKING IN SAUDI ARABIA WOULD RATHER HAVE OTHER NATIONLITIES AS HELPERS THAN US FILIPINOS😊 THEY WOULD CORDON OFF THEIR WORK AREA AND WHEN THEY NOTICE FILIPINOS ARE WATCHING THEY STOP WORKING😊
They're not wrong. One time I sang Mandy Moore's "Only Hope" they thought I was really Mandy Moore.
It also applies to learning language mostly we filipinos are good in learning other language because aside from learning the language itself, we also mimick the way the native speaker talk.
Mimicking? Imitating? Was your teacher referring to the fact Filipino singers cover so many songs? Your teacher needs to do more research into Filipino music. And for bonus points, tell her/him to search chorale performances.
when I was young I love zac efron in his highschool musical era 😂 so me and my friends always roleplay highschool musical but no one wants to be troy bolton so I kept mimicing his voice even tho I am a girl 😅 now I can only sing in low register voice 😂😂😂 like dua lipa's voice
Filipinos are generally PERFECTIONISTS when it comes to music so when a Filipino COVERS a song, he/she would need to learn the tones/pitch perfectly. Unless the said person needs to change/remix the song for a competition.
Are you kidding? We've been doing that eversince. When the Spanish came and stayed 300 years, we imitated their fashion, language, culture, and religion. The Americans came and we just danced the Boogie. And if the Japanese weren't kicked out by the Americans, we'd be eating rice and raw fish to this day. Imitating, that's what Filipinos do best. He's got a point there. Instead of stressing out by inventing stuff, we let them do it and we copy....and enhance it. 😂
I am really grateful to my mom since we are baby together with siblings my mom keeps singing to us until we fall asleep so now 3 of my siblings are singers ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
We're good at mimicking bcos we listen a lot to music, that's why we learn vocal techniques that we're not even know of growing up.
All singers, in a way, mimic the different sounds of notes. If all you have to do is just mimic, then why isn't everyone a good singer. No, you have to be blessed with a good pipe.
yeah even known singers in Philippines can imitate the singers within and outside the Philippines, some of them are singing comedians do that as well
i wish we can apply this logic to our transportation system. please mimic other nations so I dont have to sit in a car for an hour to travel 3 km.
+
we have selective 'mimicking: 😅
There's a solution to that, and it's called biking.
Ahahaha yes😂😂
Because filipinos has this thing called "SAPAW". It's when someone performs good, but when we know we can do it better, we will smash it.
As a filipino that can sing a few songs i can mimic Harry's(Harry styles) voice and i have friends that can also sing and mimic a certain singers voice and like what the other comments says most of us are not rich or privileged enough to have a proper vocal lessons so we just listens to the songs then mimic the voice of the singer then when we perfect ir we will enhance the song and give it a new kind of flow
" we lowkey kinda are!" lol love the way she said it..
Guess her vocal coach needs to hear Lea Salonga, Monique Wilson, Robert Seña, Isay Alvarez, even the whole iteration of the Philippine Madrigal Singers! Let's see how he/she reacts when great talent undergoes good training.
Its true though - only a few Filos have voice lessons, the rest learn via mimicking artist considered as "good singers". By that I mean, parents expect you to he able to belt out Titanic's theme song cause Celine Dion is their benchmark of "a good singer".
