SO many things about this country that I really love. I'm excited to visit in the future if you'll have me! 😅 Let me know anything else I'm missing out on from the Philippines! 💜
Mani means peanut. The peanut sellers hop on a bus the moment the door opens in a stop over , and they shout “mani mani mani” to call clients. That’s very filipino what he did. So when the metro doors opened, he shout “ mani mani mani “ 😂
Also, bus conductors hold their paper money separated from the coins. They fold it lengthwise, arrange by denomination and fold it in between their fingers so it’s easily accessible. Lol
Awww… don’t be stressed about singing in the Philippines. We love hearing everyone even those who can’t coz in the end, it’s all about community … having fun and creating memories together.
@1:56: Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday. Sa'yo ang inumin. Sa'yo ang pulutan. -- TRANSLATION --> Happy Birthday. You pay for the drinks. You pay for the food. Then there's a line that goes "Sana'y mabusog mo kami." Or "Sana'y malasing mo kami." -- TRANSLATION --> "Hope you'll get us stuffed with food" and " Hope you'll get us drunk." It's a playful song, typically sang with a lively tune. HAHAHA
Its started at SB19.. the next we know your in the Philippines.. enjoying beaches and probably watching SB19 concert here in Philippines just like other UA-camRS & Reactors of SB19
Always!! Melanie reacts, chachii, luis portelles, GKD labels etc. Some are not youtubers but just an A'tin who visits PH just to watch SB19 but happens to love the country, food and the people more❤
and one reactor i know found his love life here, filipina gf hehe after times of visiting Philippines, foreigners can find their happy ever after here ❤
Yes! MELANIE REACTS of AUSTRALIA visited many times here in the PHILIPPINES just to watch SB19 comncerts..and GKD LABELS was also here and many more foreign reactors
That Christmas celebration hit me so hard as a Filipino living abroad. In the Philippines, we call it "Ber Months" that means September down to December. Christmas decorations are displayed, Christmas songs are played in houses or malls or other establishments. Christmas in the Philippines brings comfort as well as this unexplainable feeling. Here in the country where Inam currently working as a Teacher, Christmas is not as hectic, joyful and colorful. It's almost end of October, but I never heard anyone around me talks about Christmas. Last year, we decorated our school 2 days before the 25th and removed the decorations after the holidays. No Christmas songs can be heard in establishments. Last year, my co-teachers (locals) asked me about my Christmas holidays plans and I asked them in return, their answers were not what I was expecting Christmas to be celebrated. No festivities, no food, nothing. They only celebrate New year 😅 And that's why, celebrating Christmas in the Philippines is something I missed so much 😢
you’re journey started with PPOP and now diving to OPM, then our culture. Honestly, I will not be surprised you If you fall in love with a Filipino. Hope you can really visit soon.
Thank you for this Sam. And I really love that you have SB19's music as your background. You really are down the rabbit hole. Hope that you can watch one of their concerts and please extend your stay because we know for sure that you'll fall in love with our country more! See u soonest!
4:30: "Peanuts, Peanuts, peanuts!" Its basically the Filipino equivalent of a football/baseball/soccer snack vendor/barker's "Get yer peanuts here!" But in PH, sometimes when a bus stops the snack vendor comes up the bus and roves around a few paces and then gets down on the next stop.
We call it Ber Months: septemBER, octoBER, novemBER and decemBER. And yes, Christmas tree or any Christmas decorations are already display when the first BER month comes. Another, 'MANO PO' or literally translates to '[your] hand please' is a gesture of respect to elders and as a way of accepting a blessing from the elder, pressing your forehead on the elder's hand while the elder normally responds with “God bless you” or a silent blessing on the person giving respect. Can't wait for you to visit the Philippines!
Yes, we start celebrating Christmas in September. You would start hearing Christmas music around this time leading up to Christmas, and see the decorations and lights up. I now live in Canada, and we still keep that tradition alive. My family always puts up our tree early around September or October. We’ve even gotten a few compliments on our tree during Halloween when trick-or-treaters come to our house 😂
Rice is our staple food 😊 BTW I love all of your videos from BTS era to Filipinos singing and now snippets of our culture. Thank you so much. We love you. 💜💜💜 Mabuhay ka!!!
The last I was in the Philippines was with my family visiting my mom's side of the family was 1998, 2016, and just last year December 2023 for my brother and sister-in-law's wedding. We had so much fun, also seeing my relatives. I'm enriching myself on loving the culture,the places we go, the music (discovering different Filipino artists here through UA-cam and Facebook as well) thanks to the artists my parents grew up listening to and discovering new artists on my own. ^_^ I also love the food and thankfully we have a Filpino store here in Pennsylvania that we can go to that way we (my mom and I) can get our products from especially my favorite Filipino snacks I grew up eating throughout the years I visited the Philippines and thanks to my dad's nieces (My cousins) who always gave snacks to us whenever they came home from the Philippines or the Filipino stores they frequented. I wish I could visit more of the Philippines again one day just for Christmas, New Year, and all the festivals I would love to see including concerts I've dreamt of going to one day since I've never been to any concerts and I would love to enjoy the experience in the Philippines if I ever get a chance to go back on vacation.
I love to see that you're not only interested in the music but in the culture as well.This is also a reason why you're my favorite reactor.I would love to see a video like this about the korean culture too.💜
I'm from Filipino, the happy birthday song that was sang was a joke for the birthday boy "Happy happy birthday Sayo inumin Sayo pulutan" Means happy birthday, food and drinks are yours
I won’t be surprised if one day you speak Tagalog fluently Sammy. Aside from Karaoke, Filipinos are fond of beauty pageants from local barangays to international stages. We take it seriously like Soccer in other countries. This is why, Philippines, not being boastful I’m just stating a fact, is one of the pageant powerhouses in the world and the best in Asia with 4 Miss Universe 1 Miss World 6 Miss International and 4 Miss Earth crowns under its belt.
This is so heartwarming. You need to try and react to Jollibee food to get a taste of Philippines. I think where you are, there's a Jollibee. You can also watch Jollibee ads to get a taste of the Filipino heart. ❤❤❤
My mom told me when I was a month old that I was humming and mimicking her hum whenever she made me sleep. Now I am a singer and a part of a Choir Organization here in the Philippines.
@@mabsunofficial4309 Yes po, even my baby is doing what I did when she was months old. I was also a member of a theater group when I was pregnant with her. I think being around musical instruments and a great co-theater while pregnant makes her musical ears great, she can easily pick up the right note and also can sing a song just by hearing it repeatedly.
I've been following your journey for a few months now, and it’s exciting to see you exploring the Philippines just as we are discovering your fascination with our country! Are you ready to visit? We can’t wait to welcome you, Mr. Sammy!
My mom was a singer in high school, so yeah... I grew up listening to her singing celine dione songs. Then my dad sings me Kenny Rogers songs growing up. Both of them are really good singers.
I know at least 2 youtube BINI reactors that is going to visit in the Philippines in November. To watch BINIverse concert and sample the culture. Start making plans buddy! And yes, you will be asked to do karaoke!
I’m excited you to visit my country 🇵🇭 if you got there try to meet n greet your subscribers its just be fun for sure and you will enjoy the vibes of my co pilipino 😇 by the I’m watching from Taiwan
11:28 "Po" is a courteous way to say "pardon?" or "What did you just say?" On the other hand, "opo" is the polite form of "yes," "yes, please," or "yup."
Yes, "psst" is commonly used in the Philippines, when calling for someone's attention. It's very informal, and might be considered impolite if used with anyone other than friends or family.
Sam, I really hope you come to the Philippines!! And maybe attend a SB19 concert while you’re here 😉 A lot of SB19 foreign fans and reactors usually come to their concerts here and I hope we see you soon as well! 🩷
That happy birthday tune means translate in english is "Happy happy birthday " to you is the liquor " to you is the finger food" happy happy birthday" to you used to get us drunk " 😂
Actually we really don't care anymore if you are a good singer or not what's important is that you enjoyed your turn singing, still give your 101% performance level 😂
6:16 riding in tricycles are really fun, and you also get fresh air, since it’s really fast you don’t need an AC, but a tip for riding in a tricycle, always hold onto your stuff, because there are only walls in front of you, and behind you, and there’s also a roof 9:25 true!! You can even eat fruits with rice here, and no one will be saying “That’s so weird” or “ew, that’s disgusting” I like eating Mango with rice 9:56 again, true, they are called BER months, because, SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, DecemBER 10:26 Yes, when I was younger, every time I was around my elder family members, my parents said “bless Lola” or “bless Lolo” another sign of respect is saying “Po” especially to your elders, you can also say it with ordering food, like at a restaurant, when they give you your food you say “Thank you Po” as a sign of respect.
So um the Philippines starts Christmas very early and lasts 4 months September all the way to December which is called the Ber months so basically if wanna go here for the holidays and your at the Philippines in the Ber months then you will be hearing Mariah Carey in malls and shops all that stuff we also celebrate very loud during Christmas ❤❤❤
When you want to call somebody’s attention without calling their name or shouting out loud we call them by “Psssst”. I think that’s very Filipino 😂😂 The pointing with your mouth thing… normally we do that if both our hands are preoccupied and/or being discreet at pointing at someone. Coz for us it’s kind of rude or impolite to point at somebody.
The Philippines rendition of Happy Birthday is light hearted paying out/ taking the Mickey/ Jab at the celebrant. An understanding of the custom of celebration may be needed before hand to get the full comedic impact. However, it is not required but can also be understood without any previous knowledge but may have a more informative angle than comedic. Essentially saying the drinks are on you, the food is on you and I hope you get us all full all while laughing because it's true and happening as they sing it.
4:30 His mimicking the street vendor on the road who freely ride in random bus or walk in side walks, carrying a basket of peanuts who oftenly separate bills in his finger so that he can give the change to customer who buys his peanuts or products 😅 It's showing that mimicking or joking anywhere and in sudden is a Filipino culture 😅
When it comes to Christmas, non-Filipinos might find it amusing (in a positive way) or be amazed that we celebrate the holiday season as early as September. The truth is, Filipinos love fun, feasting, and celebrations. We cherish family gatherings/reunions, which makes Sept-Dec months filled with plannings, preparations and the budgeting of course. In other countries, it’s uncommon for godparents to be involved during Christmas or New Year, but that’s not the case in the Philippines. Children eagerly anticipate Christmas because it means receiving gifts from their godparents. As early as September, Filipinos kick off the Yuletide Season, leading to clearance sales in malls and the early distribution of Christmas bonuses and various benefits. Ultimately, what stands out the most is the good vibes we experience every time the sounds of Christmas cheer fill the air.
my comment for the first video: I'm 19 and I just realized that my definition of a slow, peaceful day with no stress is a rainy sunday afternoon in the sala (living room) sleeping on the couch while my whole fam (mostly my dad) does karaoke using YT (singking/coversph)
I hope you can react to Juan Karlos. He's also a Filipino singer (and actor). You will have another totally different experience. Check his songs Buwan, Ere, and Limang Taon MVs for starters.
You are correct. The "mating call" is our typical way to call someone's attention. It is used everyday, everywhere and by everyone. It is easier than to use names, but it is confusing when used with many people. However it is effective to identify Filipinos in a crowd. It is subtle and non-fils dont notice it.
4:25 for context ... theyre riding an air conditioned train ... and mani mani mani is what Pinoy street vendor yells selling mani = peanuts ... they sometimes hop aboard public transports to sell to commuters but not usually in air conditioned trains like this hence the joke .. in addition the way the guy folds his bills in between his fingers is an iconic street vendor move ... they hold organize/manage different denominations of bills in just 1 hand for easy access in case they need to return some change
The “mani mani” guy on the bus is a reference to those familiar scenes on local buses in the Philippines. Vendors would hop on, selling snacks, loudly advertising their products, like “mani, mani,” which means peanuts. (The money in his hand comes from these sales.) I’m guessing this reenactment happened on a bus outside the Philippines, which makes the whole act even funnier. -- The “psst” thing is a very Pinoy thing to do when calling someone’s attention. So the logic is, if you did that in a crowd outside PH, and someone turns around, that person must be a Filipino. (But actually, I have been living outside the PH for the last 13 years, I realize that that is not a uniquely Filipino trait. Some cultures do that, too.
4:07 For the guy at the train, look at the way he's holding money. The bills are folded along the length then folded in half again between his fingers. That's how the conductor (person other than driver who collects fare/issues tickets) of public transport vehicles (jeepneys, buses, etc) hold bills.
A lot of Filipinos in the U.K. My own Aunt was a nurse in Kensington. You as a Brit, need to set aside for a few minutes being a Brit, then open your mind, to understand. Empty your cup before you taste the Filipino tea, as the proverb says. Try to contact the Brits Jay and Sacha of the channel “Eight miles from home” or the Brits George and Lucy of the “The Juicy Vlog”. They have made the Philippines home for years now and can explain how the Philippines is.
You should come visit the Philippines, we have a lot of beautiful island and tourists spots. Im sure you'll enjoy it here. That one guy who said mani mani mani or peanuts in english. Its how people or Peanut vendors are when they sell their peanuts on public buses here in the Philippines, its not just Mani (peanuts) it could be drinks, snacks, chips but thats how they sell their goods... :) So if ure travelling somewhere riding a bus they'd come up to the bus and offer u food or drinks to buy so u wont get bored while on the road.
Peanut 🥜. That is the common legume throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia 🌏. In The Philippines 🇵🇭, the 2nd common legume is the mung bean. McDonald's has menus created according to each nation. Canada 🇨🇦 is mostly the same as the USA 🇺🇸. Japan 🇯🇵 offers sushi 🍣. If you visit The Philippines 🇵🇭, you can see what are in your videos at a closer view. Karaoke 🎤 is everywhere. If you have good timing, you can see Morissette Amon and other great singers in concerts there.
6:49 Filipinos dance everywhere HAHAHA not only in restaurants, when there's a flood in the street it becomes an instant resort some dance and party in the flood after the rain
There's also this one thing here in the ph.as a kid if your parents know that you can sing. thats a knightmare for you because u will be force to sing in every gathering because they are so proud of you and they wanted to show it to everyone
The "Mani, mani, mani..." one is about a vendor of peanuts. Mani translates to Peanuts. Here in the PH, most of the time, street vendors get in public transpos to sell snacks. Chips, boiled quail eggs, buns, basically whatever you can hold. And those street vendors organizes money bills in their hands, each finger for a different bill value. Usually it's point finger for 100s, middle finger 50s, and ring finger for 20s. So street vendors got the cash register literally in their hands.
There's a few British UA-camr who lives in the Philippines now. 8mile, juicyvlogs, and I'm sure there's more. But have a look at them, you'll learnt a lot. Gives you the preparation before coming to Philippines.
thank u for appreciating Filipinos...PSST means hey seems that ur calling him her them. or it use to stop or keep silent... MANI MANI is peanut in some train or bus a street vendor sells peanuts candies juice just something to eat while the traffic is on
Just a heads up if you do go to the Philippines, you will be invited to everyone's houses, you will be forced fed and you will be given the mic whether you like it or not. Don't think you have much choice in this. Good luck and have fun! Xx
The mani part is the usual public bus scene in Phils. Bus conductors who takes the fare from passengers hold the money the way the guy did in the video. Also from time to time some vendors board the bus and announces what they sell, most common is fried peanut or mani in tagalog.
Sammy, have you found the Madrigal singers jamming while eating at restaurants yet? Or the karaoke relays? Or the bride & groom singing at their own wedding? Or the comedians who are also great singers? There's so much content for you to catch up on👍
we don't actually celebrate Christmas as early sept but most households do set up their christmas decors as early as last week of october or early november. Though Christmas is really big deal in the Phil
SO many things about this country that I really love. I'm excited to visit in the future if you'll have me! 😅
Let me know anything else I'm missing out on from the Philippines! 💜
Welcome to the diverse culture embedded in 7,100 islands
Hope you can visit our country Sir
I hope you could be in an SB19 concert soon. You'll know why we love them so much
Philippines, with 7,107 islands, is one of the best countries if we talk about natural resources most especially beaches.
Pls. do visit our country...

Rice is staple like bread or potatoes in the west. Filipino dishes are designed to go well with rice or without.
Speaking of Pinoy tradition, the "Mano po." Maybe its time to watch some Jollibee commercials. It has drama, comedy and some filipino traditions.
Omg yes, i remember those jollibee ads about family.
4:22 he mimics someone selling peanuts on a bus , yeah it happens in the Philippines
Rice is our staple food 😊 BTW I love all of your videos from BTS era to Filipinos singing and now snippets of our culture. Thank you so much. We love you. 💜💜💜 Mabuhay ka!!!

the guy on the train shouting "mani/man-nii" is a reference to street vendor selling inside buses....
Rice is our Everyday meal! Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and sometimes Snacks as well
So um the Philippines starts Christmas very early and lasts 4 months September all the way to December which is called the Ber months so basically if wanna go here for the holidays and your at the Philippines in the Ber months then you will be hearing Mariah Carey in malls and shops all that stuff we also celebrate very loud during Christmas ❤❤❤

When you want to call somebody’s attention without calling their name or shouting out loud we call them by “Psssst”. I think that’s very Filipino 😂😂
The pointing with your mouth thing… normally we do that if both our hands are preoccupied and/or being discreet at pointing at someone. Coz for us it’s kind of rude or impolite to point at somebody.
8 Days in the Philippines video is a definite must watch next
Happy birthday song is the same in the Philippines. The version you heard was just Filipino Christmas song that turned into a birthday song.
The Philippines rendition of Happy Birthday is light hearted paying out/ taking the Mickey/ Jab at the celebrant.
An understanding of the custom of celebration may be needed before hand to get the full comedic impact.
However, it is not required but can also be understood without any previous knowledge but may have a more informative angle than comedic.
Essentially saying the drinks are on you, the food is on you and I hope you get us all full all while laughing because it's true and happening as they sing it.
Thank you sammy for your kind hearts for us Filipinos ❤
Yung Mapa sa outro 💙 Hopefully you may react to SB19 funny videos so that you may understand Filipino Humor 😊
4:30 His mimicking the street vendor on the road who freely ride in random bus or walk in side walks, carrying a basket of peanuts who oftenly separate bills in his finger so that he can give the change to customer who buys his peanuts or products 😅 It's showing that mimicking or joking anywhere and in sudden is a Filipino culture 😅
When it comes to Christmas, non-Filipinos might find it amusing (in a positive way) or be amazed that we celebrate the holiday season as early as September. The truth is, Filipinos love fun, feasting, and celebrations. We cherish family gatherings/reunions, which makes Sept-Dec months filled with plannings, preparations and the budgeting of course. In other countries, it’s uncommon for godparents to be involved during Christmas or New Year, but that’s not the case in the Philippines. Children eagerly anticipate Christmas because it means receiving gifts from their godparents. As early as September, Filipinos kick off the Yuletide Season, leading to clearance sales in malls and the early distribution of Christmas bonuses and various benefits. Ultimately, what stands out the most is the good vibes we experience every time the sounds of Christmas cheer fill the air.
my comment for the first video: I'm 19 and I just realized that my definition of a slow, peaceful day with no stress is a rainy sunday afternoon in the sala (living room) sleeping on the couch while my whole fam (mostly my dad) does karaoke using YT (singking/coversph)
Hello Sam..thanks for loving our culture ❤
I hope you can react to Juan Karlos. He's also a Filipino singer (and actor). You will have another totally different experience. Check his songs Buwan, Ere, and Limang Taon MVs for starters.
From BTS to filipino reactions 😊 im here for all of that❤ been your follower since your first reaction to 💜BTS 💜
"Mani" shouts the peanut vendor... lol. radis or similar musical gadgets help put babies and children to sleep...
You are correct. The "mating call" is our typical way to call someone's attention. It is used everyday, everywhere and by everyone. It is easier than to use names, but it is confusing when used with many people. However it is effective to identify Filipinos in a crowd. It is subtle and non-fils dont notice it.
4:25 for context ... theyre riding an air conditioned train ... and mani mani mani is what Pinoy street vendor yells selling mani = peanuts ... they sometimes hop aboard public transports to sell to commuters but not usually in air conditioned trains like this hence the joke .. in addition the way the guy folds his bills in between his fingers is an iconic street vendor move ... they hold organize/manage different denominations of bills in just 1 hand for easy access in case they need to return some change
It's the money folded crosswise and looped around the fingers for me. 🤣😂🤣
The “mani mani” guy on the bus is a reference to those familiar scenes on local buses in the Philippines. Vendors would hop on, selling snacks, loudly advertising their products, like “mani, mani,” which means peanuts. (The money in his hand comes from these sales.)
I’m guessing this reenactment happened on a bus outside the Philippines, which makes the whole act even funnier.

The “psst” thing is a very Pinoy thing to do when calling someone’s attention. So the logic is, if you did that in a crowd outside PH, and someone turns around, that person must be a Filipino. (But actually, I have been living outside the PH for the last 13 years, I realize that that is not a uniquely Filipino trait. Some cultures do that, too.
4:07 For the guy at the train, look at the way he's holding money. The bills are folded along the length then folded in half again between his fingers. That's how the conductor (person other than driver who collects fare/issues tickets) of public transport vehicles (jeepneys, buses, etc) hold bills.
A lot of Filipinos in the U.K. My own Aunt was a nurse in Kensington. You as a Brit, need to set aside for a few minutes being a Brit, then open your mind, to understand. Empty your cup before you taste the Filipino tea, as the proverb says. Try to contact the Brits Jay and Sacha of the channel “Eight miles from home” or the Brits George and Lucy of the “The Juicy Vlog”. They have made the Philippines home for years now and can explain how the Philippines is.
You should come visit the Philippines, we have a lot of beautiful island and tourists spots. Im sure you'll enjoy it here.
That one guy who said mani mani mani or peanuts in english. Its how people or Peanut vendors are when they sell their peanuts on public buses here in the Philippines, its not just Mani (peanuts) it could be drinks, snacks, chips but thats how they sell their goods... :) So if ure travelling somewhere riding a bus they'd come up to the bus and offer u food or drinks to buy so u wont get bored while on the road.
Peanut 🥜. That is the common legume throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia 🌏. In The Philippines 🇵🇭, the 2nd common legume is the mung bean.
McDonald's has menus created according to each nation. Canada 🇨🇦 is mostly the same as the USA 🇺🇸. Japan 🇯🇵 offers sushi 🍣.
If you visit The Philippines 🇵🇭, you can see what are in your videos at a closer view. Karaoke 🎤 is everywhere. If you have good timing, you can see Morissette Amon and other great singers in concerts there.
6:49 Filipinos dance everywhere HAHAHA not only in restaurants, when there's a flood in the street it becomes an instant resort some dance and party in the flood after the rain
There's also this one thing here in the ph.as a kid if your parents know that you can sing. thats a knightmare for you because u will be force to sing in every gathering because they are so proud of you and they wanted to show it to everyone
its a fact that we Filipino's starting celebrating Christmas as early as BERMONTHS (SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER and ends at January 1😂
The "Mani, mani, mani..." one is about a vendor of peanuts. Mani translates to Peanuts. Here in the PH, most of the time, street vendors get in public transpos to sell snacks. Chips, boiled quail eggs, buns, basically whatever you can hold. And those street vendors organizes money bills in their hands, each finger for a different bill value. Usually it's point finger for 100s, middle finger 50s, and ring finger for 20s. So street vendors got the cash register literally in their hands.
Christmas songs start playing in September and until January 6 of the next year - feast of the three kings
Love the "I want you" instrumentals on the background on your intro. Lol
There's a few British UA-camr who lives in the Philippines now. 8mile, juicyvlogs, and I'm sure there's more. But have a look at them, you'll learnt a lot. Gives you the preparation before coming to Philippines.
Filipinos most times have karaoke machines.in their homes.
Starting as infants they at once initiated to the world of music.
thank u for appreciating Filipinos...PSST means hey seems that ur calling him her them. or it use to stop or keep silent... MANI MANI is peanut in some train or bus a street vendor sells peanuts candies juice just something to eat while the traffic is on
Instead of "Hello", we usually say "Hello po" to show more respect. Example, "Welcome po to my channel".
Its not the water its the climate. Tropical hot weather all year round will enhance vocal chords we do not have winter here
Don't worry if you have to sing in the Philippines. We don't judge. What's important for us is that we are all having fun.
Alot of vloggers from the UK came and visit the Philippines some even lived here.
Just a heads up if you do go to the Philippines, you will be invited to everyone's houses, you will be forced fed and you will be given the mic whether you like it or not. Don't think you have much choice in this. Good luck and have fun! Xx
The mani part is the usual public bus scene in Phils. Bus conductors who takes the fare from passengers hold the money the way the guy did in the video. Also from time to time some vendors board the bus and announces what they sell, most common is fried peanut or mani in tagalog.
Sammy, have you found the Madrigal singers jamming while eating at restaurants yet? Or the karaoke relays? Or the bride & groom singing at their own wedding? Or the comedians who are also great singers?
