YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG rendition of GIGI DE LANA is a bomb
Kindly check out YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG rendition of GIGI DE LANA
Her band mates are veterans. Jon directs music. Jake played guitar before playing bass. LA played on a tour cruise ship and he can play the violin. I believe Romeo is the most senior of the group and he also have extensive experience. I feel it is rare to have a team that is a match made in heaven, but this helps them go into flow state.
LA also plays the keyboard (piano).
Yesterday when I was young is my ultimate favourite, check it out !
You’ve been reacting to Gigi and her band for some time now and have very good insight about her performances, have you guys considered trying to get her in your Feature Friday Plus interview? It could make for a pretty interesting conversation.
Up for this
Up
Up!
Yes please
Yes…
But in the Philippines, we never forget such songs. They are always there: being played in the radio, sung by contestants in TV, sung by friends in videoke, posted by acquaintances in facebook. The reason we are very good at covers is ‘cause we’ve heard these songs from the womb. A Filipino may not know exactly what the lyrics are, but you can be sure we know the melody of it inside our minds. It’s like muscle memory to us.
Totally agree.
My father doesn't give a damn about KPop. He'd rather have Frank Sinatra, but he knows how to jam with us. He hums and dance to it.
The range of music influence is so big. As long as it's music, we dig it.
@@Icantthinkofanyname48 hehe true that
Spot on..
They all.stay in Gigis house during this pandemic. The band, 7 guys sleeps on the floor of her living room, they are almost family. Gigi is taking care of her.Mom sick with cancer, she's the breadwinner. They do all this cover in a small garage next to her house. There is a video interview of journalist Karen Davila showing their living arrangement to avoid exposure to covid.
Filipino musicians and artists are just about everwhere in the global scene... Las Vegas, music lounges, cruise ships, ktv/karaoke bars, night clubs and lounges, talent shows, hotels and theaters, UA-cam, etc.... even in shower rooms singing their hearts out.
that is true even the remote provinces in china, japan malaysia or in africa you will find a filipino band singing in a bar or hotel lounges.
They were recently featured on TV by Karen Davila. Surprised that the entire band and Gigi are quarantined under one roof in Gigi's place and these performances happen in a small garage. Probably just a little bigger than Waleska's and Efra's space right now.
Live bands in the Philippines are one of the most underrated performers and they do take song requests all they time, so they are very well versed in music. They are literally everywhere prepandemic.
Yep any bar you walk into will have a live band that sings requests. It's like a job requirement. 😆 Sometimes it's like a challenge, we were staying at a hotel last night and my uncle requested a really old song that he thinks the band wouldn't know. The band just looked up the chords and they played it beautifully.
Funny, i remembered watching them live in live sessions... somebody requested her to sing the song BIZARE LOVE TRIANGLE.. i actually got excited coz i sooo love that song!... but surprisingly she doesnt know the song... all her band mates knows it... so the other members end up singing the song instead.... instead of her.... it still sounded good though!... 😄
Gigi is beautiful and talented human being. I love you guys ❤️💋👍
ive been in a band in the past .. and for youre band to be able to get gigs in bars, there is this thing we call STOCKING SONGS ... he practice songs thats on our alley, we dont necessarily play it oftenly but we just study those songs so that when someone requesr for it .. we can play it ... the same goes for singers. thats why the pro filipino singers seems to know every song its bc they have been singing all the time, if he/she is a pro then THATS ALL HE DO!
some singers or band members in an audition must have at least 30 songs in his/her/their bags!
Singing is a way of life here in the Philippines. Majority can carry a tune..
Better Days or this type of songs is very common in the Philippines.Filipino singers prefer the more difficult songs or songs with difficult arrangement since singing competitions here are VERY TOUGH. It does not matter if they are classic old songs or the modern ones as long as the song is difficult enough to win a competition.Most of our singers here like Gigi, Katrina, Morisette etc. even the Queen Regine were "kontiseras" or experienced singing contestants,which explain their caliber.
Live band performances are very common in the Philippines. They just bring it to a different level.
Its so common, they're playing in the malls now while most bars are closed 😎
Pre pandemic, we all used to go to outdoor bars and chill with local live bands.
When there's a live band, 100% sure the waiter have a pen and a paper for song request.
More song request means more beers and food orders ☺️. Sometimes, you can also perform if you can sing or do a duet with them just to jam and that usually is so entertaining.
Funny why you said they are not popular because here in the Philippines these are the songs that we grow up with. They are "commonly" heard everywhere. Even at these modern times - we haven't forgotten them.
Bands here in PH used to work for clubs or bars that people can request songs so they have the knowledge or hint to what songs are mostly requested by Filipinos and most of them also worked overseas as a band or musicians in lounges of a ship and hotels or bars. So they have extensive number of songs that they know how to play so they just need the song's note sheet for guide. They know the songs by heart. And it is hardly to know a Filipino who doesn't love music and would not listen to it in almost a day. So just imagine how many songs does a professional musician here in PH can play.
FINALLY!! YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG NEXT!!
Yes Please 🙏 that’s my Favourite Cover of the GG Band 😍💕
Up
Yes, pls react to Yesterday when I was young, please, please, please Wales & Efra 🙏🙏🙏🙏
YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG PLEASE!
Yes, please!🙏
Jajaja funny how you guys described "these types of song" as not as popular or as forgotten gems since these songs never left the Philippines ever since. Until now, these types of song are still the norm in karaokes. In fact it is rare to hear Filipinos sing relatively newer songs in the karaoke, it is usually 2005-downwards types of songs you hear most often. Filipinos love old stuffs and this is btw coming from a genz😉
I think Filipinos loves meaningful lyrics. One of those is Better days.
Yeah a lot of ballads/R&B that have been forgotten in America are still being played everyday on Filipino radio. I was watching some American reactors and I was surprised a lot of them didn't know "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". That song is like a requirement in karaoke machines, television shows, and live gigs in the Philippines.
Its called plakado in the philippines,bands can play anything you request except the music from the stone age
In the singing is the way of life of filipinos coz every house holds has karaoke,radio ,television n now gadgets. They watching, listening once they open their eyes 24/7 that's why even gids are good we call it way of life
What I love about Gigi is her songs are mostly from my age. Like. The old songs.
Bruh... Every live, how much do we donate for her to sing our favorite songs? 😂
A lot of musicians/bands in the Philippines or most likely like any other show band in the world either practice a lot of stuff, or they have sheets it maybe in chords form like you get in jazz sheets or in notes and they're just good at sight reading. Combine that with hours and hours of playing together.
It’s live streaming, the audience can request what song they want
Back in the normal days pre-pandemic, when you go to a bar or any place with a live band here in the Philippines, some bands would grant song request from the audience and they'll do it if they know the song.
"Better Days", like some of the old songs she sang, is a popular karaoke song here.
been waiting for this. thank you so much guys for finally reacting to this :)
If you want to see the garage where they play at. You can check on Karen Davila's vlog. It's just a very small space.
Yea they all live together and this studio is actually a next door house / garage
Most Filipino bands will know hundreds of songs. There are plenty of places back in my younger years with live bands. They'll play any songs requested by guests. A band will have specific genres but it is so rare for any band who can't play a song.
Its almost standard for bands in the Philippines to get random song requests when they perform in bars or in any gigs. You give them a piece of paper with your request and tip and they play it.
this is my 11th times watching this. lol by the way almost all amateur bands play like that here in d philippines believe it or not guys!! if ur in a wedding 18th bebut birthdays have a guest band here & they play like that.taking a lot of request jamming with the guest. thats why im thankful im in the audio tech industry. i love my job totally 200%
songs like this are being played especially on sundays.. through a whole day.. lol and sometimes during the weekend they would play this type of songs during siesta time in the afternoon till 3 or pm haha.. so it's not shocking people know this type of songs it can be heard anywhere.
the gigi band is very close because their living in one roof together and even sleep literally together... that's their secret
There are a lot of very good singers in the Philippines, yet they are humble because there are other superb freak of nature level of singers in this same country. We make music as we enjoy it and tried not to compare to others. Gigi is the embodiment of enjoyment.
Gidget and her band (permit me, Gidget is so much more endearing) are prime example why I luuuurve the live band scene in the RP. You get all that for a price of a drink
When I was young, I got exposed to old songs, old singers with all different genres so in conclusion Filipinos can sing old and new song.
Yeah well song requests during live band performance is common here in the Philippines. My friend is a guitarist. He has like stock songs that he practices daily in case it's requested during gigs.
Better Days is pretty common. People even sing it in Karaoke hehehe
i know you have been telling that the philippines has a high pedigree when it comes to music and i believe it is true...you see, songs like this is very popular still even though it is quite old and other countries would not know it...filipinos are very well versed in all kinds of old songs that even kids nowadays sing them...you will experience it when you come to the philippines and hear some people in the neighborhood belt out some old (and hard to sing) songs.....there is, however, one song which people avoid to sing and it is MY WAY by frank sinatra (not sure if he is the original singer but someone in that era)....funny but true.....some people are offended if someone sings this in a bad way hence the altercation LOL...
Here for the YEBBA comment. Highest compliment ever! ❤️
Live band performance by request is very common here in the PH
The popularity of karaoke and its availability to the entire country provides familiarity, if not knowing it entirely, to any song be it from the 60's or present times. Radiostations still plays randomly old songs. The normalcy of cover songs (old and ancient) in the current times by popular current singers also contributes to the familiarity and constant appreciation of old songs. And as you have already learned, its live bands that dominates the bar/club scenes here. That means that the live band would normally take song request from the crowd. Having said that, the band has to have a broad knowledge of songs (old and current), singing it (for the singer) and playing it (for the band). You have watched some of Katrina Velarde's regular bar gig. There are list of songs prepared by her and the band but there were impromptu ones as well as requested by the crowd. Sometimes this impromptu songs involves a bar goer as well especially if he/she is a known singer too. For example, Boguy and Katrina's duet at the latter's gig. I hope this answers your questions why the band knows to play a requested song. Same holds true for the singer. This also answers why a 7 year old kid can sing a song by Whitney or any old songs for that matter because of karaoke and its presence still in the current times as you could still hear them on radio stations or watch a cover by an artist on TV
Thank you for reacting to this👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 love love love this song!!
Guys, if you want to be introduced to another great Filipino artist, you have to check out Dessa. She did a cover of Better Days on the Wishbus. She's amazing! She used to be pitted against Regine before (but they're actually friends) because of her powerful voice. Hope you can check her out also. Thanks! 😃
OMG! road to 1M subs before 2024 🤞🤞
Hi guys...just for info...if you're not familiar or know in Philippines... anywhere in the country...live bands are common..not just shows in hotels but i mean of anywhere is...even in simple restaurants...have live bands....and before pandemic happened...most of the cities has a battle of the bands....❤️❤️❤️,,once again thanks for featuring Filipino 🎵🎶
Happy 450k
Love you guys
ang angas ni gigi oi
If you look at an Classic Orchestra, its the discipline to practice xx hours in a day but on performance day everyone have the music sheet in front of them still. Two people from their team is classically trained like in one of best universities here in the Philippines. So they practice that rule as well.
You need to see her Butterfly version. It was so amazing and you'll love her voice control.
Here in the Philippines, its kinda given.. If its a LIVE Band, it means people can request any song on that moment. That's the live band culture here. Hence, the singer and the band make sure they know a lot of songs.
In restaurants here that has live band, people can request any song for free or a customer can give the band money as appreciation. In conclusion, its not a big surprise for Filipino people.
can you have like a list of top choices when it comes to songs you've heard that you've reacted.. it will be a good thing for your 500k subs special. hope you read this comment. im just suggesting. anyways more power and lets go for 500k subs! more love from ph!
Have you noticed (just like nurses), how Filipino (band) musicians / singers are found all around the world? Specifically in hotels, resorts, bars and the likes... Its more of "if we've heard it, we should be able to play it" attitude...
You cannot get into a band here if you can't keep up... (^_^)
LIVE BANDS HERE ARE CREMÉ OF THE CROP. 👌
Please, react to Gigi’s fly me to the moon… you’ll be surprised.. especially your bro. Who loved drums…
GIGI AND EFRA CAN BE GOOD BF/GF, THEY SEEMS PERFECT TO EACH OTHER 💕💕💕
just watched it yesterday and I was looking for your take on this... and finally here it is. still cant believe you haven't reached the M mark on your subscribers. More power to you both!
Arnel Pineda has a live band just like GGs band singing a song from famous singer in different genre, before he was discovered by Journey...
Live bands in the Philippines accept a request from the audience and play it on the spot, it's normal here in the Philippines.
please react to her new new cover "fly me to the moon" please❤️❤️❤️
Please to Denise Laurel and Tom Rodriguez A Whole New World.thank you
yes, they are good also
Did you already make a reaction in her Through The Fire and The Piano covers? I love you both and keep on doing great!😍👍
Filipinos love cheesy older songs . Most radio stations always play those songs until now
Pls.react..gigi de Lana's cover..yesterday when I was young and fly me to the moon..it's amazing cover..promise.. 😍😍😍
Gigi x GG Vibes cover of Lost Stars by Adam Levine pleaseee
It seems common for the bands here in the Phils. whenever they performed in their gigs to play songs requested by their audience.
That "studio" is actually their living room 😂 its where the band members sleep. They live together due to some circumstances, not sure but I think it's because of this pandemic they got stock there then leads to that situation. You can check the interview tho
She was first known as GIDGET DELA LLANA!
YAY! IMHO her best cover of any song she did! Her band is elite level!
Most of the bands in the Philippines knows how to play bunch of songs 😅
Ang cute ng hair ni Gigi, very Regine R2K promos era. 😆💕
I have a close friend who's a singer. She sings with her band in bars, restaurants and hotel lounges. They usually prepare a repertoire for every performance but they also accept song requests. They also usually perform for 1-2 hours and have two sets a night. Live bands in the PH (also in cities like Dubai where there are a lot of live PH bands that perform in hotels) have to have experience and knowledge with different songs from different eras and different genres. You should be able to sing and play a whole wide range of songs - from classics, rock, modern pop, etc.
Please react to Maymay Entratas music video: AMAKABOGERA, she's a Filipina model and she's so talented
Next react Anggun citra sasmita (SAHARA)from indonesia
Another Golden Voice from The Land of Ophir 🤗
You haven’t reacted yet to her cover of Fly me to the moon , you will be in awe listening a very different arrangement . So cool. Turning a classic song into rock jazz is a delight.
most filipino live bands on that level they are a "song book" skilled lol.. you can request anything from them and they will play it for you in any genre you'd like
TRUTH
Please react to Gigi de I Won’t Last A Day Without You and This Love
We have a Lots of high skills band in the phillippines thats why lots of filipinos Musician working abroad in different countries. One of the famous Live Band Venue before is the COWBOY GRILL lots of branches. Everyday youve seen a different Genre of Best Bands. Rock On!🤩🤘
Please react to her “yesterday when i was young”. You’ll love her
Hope you invite them in your podcast😍
hi guys .. recently subscribed to you.. love your reactions ..THANK YOU .. here's something u can watch if you havent already .. a peek into gigi de lana's life: it's titled "SINGING CONTESTS TO UA-cam STAR. Why GIGI DE LANA Never Gave Up On Her Dreams" .. more power!
Waleska n efra plss react to gigi de lana, sing yesterday when i was young....thanks i use to wach your reaction to our filipino singers.
Always love your reactions guys! Please check out another 2M views of GIGI's cover on Tamia's Officially Missing You. Stay safe and cheers guys~~!
They'd knew the Chords and Lyrics by heart broo.. They just look at their ipad just for a guide or something if they've missing anything... Gigi was in that band before she went famous and joint TNT a singing segment on Its Showtime
Mabuhay
The songs Gigi sings are standards in the Philippine music circuit.
Musicians need to learn all these by heart since they can do session gigs for other bands. The list is about 200 songs.
You would notice when a performance only plays songs on the list it means there is a session musician present.
Live performers know the songs like the back of there hands. Filling in and little adlibs are well calculated.
That is why it always feels tight and looks well rehearsed.
Great reaction as always! You also need to check out her “Butterfly” by Mariah Carey cover. It’s soo good!
please react to Dessa's better days on Wish FM
I think you mght interview her to know everything I'm also curious like you. :)
Please react Cindy by From Outtakes in the wish bus. Great filipino band.
it's natural now for them to instinctively react to each other. partly because of lockdowns, they literally live and breathe the same air. the boys sleep together in the living room of gigi's apartment. it's like they're all her kuyas (older brothers). their director lives across the street and that's where their literal garage band is. i can only imagine living near them... it's sure to be like getting a free concert everyday! part of her passion also comes from wanting and needing to help her mom fight cancer.
On their livestream they cover much the whole spectrum from the 60's Beatles to the modern days' Coldplay, Lany and what have you. They are a Vibe. 👍♥️
Donghae ft Jeno california love and eunhyuk solo be mv reaction when? D&e is having a comeback on 2nd November with title track "zero" hope you guys react to that :(
Try to react to her cover of maroon5 'This love' is just amazing! Thanks🙏More power to you, guys!
In the Philippines professional singers are used to sing songs requested by the audiences
Pls react to Fame Gomez, singing Bukas na lang kita mamahalin.
Hi please check her new version of "Lost Stars" by adam levine Im sure you love it.😊 thank you
Please react on Gigi's cover of fly me to the moon.
Many Filipino musicians are good at impromptu performance..
