This is probably as close to the immortal Whitney Houston as any other singer ever. Katrina Velarde is a vocal beast and not only that, she is a superb songstress and technical master singer. She should be an international superstar, household name. FTR, I am a retired professional music critic with 45+ years experience. I saw Whitney, Celine, Mariah, etc., live, in their Apex elite prime and Katrina is in their class.
all i'll ever say to something like this is, "AMEN! preach on, my friend!" you're most definitely right...her skills alone are insane, but her ability to perform & sound as consistently solid as she does live are really the things that do me in, ultimately. katrina's next level on that basis alone; a lot of the legends, including some you mentioned, never could or have had that same precision & ability, sustained for so many years. sing on, queen katrina! i hope she continues to slay this year. ♥️
@@steveheckle8847 I agree, you should look at my reactions to Morissette Amon on reactors channels: Morissette Amon is one of the top 5 to 10 female Pop singers of all time.
I couldn't agree more! Katrina's rendition of Whitney Houston's medley was simply awe-inspiring. It's no secret that Whitney was a vocal powerhouse, and it takes a truly exceptional talent to do justice to her music. Yet Katrina managed to pull it off with remarkable finesse, demonstrating an incredible ability to mimic Whitney's signature sound and style. From the soaring highs to the soulful lows, Katrina's voice was a dead ringer for Whitney's, capturing all the nuances and inflections that made her such a beloved artist. But what really set Katrina apart was her mastery of the runs. She effortlessly navigated the intricate melodies and intricate phrasing that Whitney was famous for, delivering each note with incredible precision and control. It was like watching a master class in vocal technique, and I found myself completely swept away by the sheer beauty and power of her performance. All in all, I would say that Katrina is truly one of a kind, a singer who not only pays tribute to the legends who came before her, but also adds her own unique flair and artistry to the mix. I can't wait to see what she does next, and I have no doubt that she will continue to amaze and inspire audiences around the world with her incredible talent and dedication to her craft.
Goosebumps galore…. Whitney my queen is smiling and happy up in the heaven watching Katrina singing and giving justice to her songs…I cannot I started crying when “ all at once “ was sang..
Katrina has a fantastic inventory of amazing performances! This was done years ago so you can imagine Katrina now. Please continue reactions of her. She is really a versatile and world class vocalist, Thank you for reacting to her💕
Katrina, Morrissette, and Gigi are the 3 best singers of the PH. I call them the 3 Queens. They are complete singers. Mastery of all their techniques and ranges.
Great reaction, excellent technical analysis - as a lifelong singer yourself, you understand all the essential nuances, that go into what constitutes great singings and singers. Well done!
please, please, please, please...continue on with katrina! she'll not disappoint you. i'd love to see you react to her singing "somewhere over the rainbow"...any version would do, really. katrina's the most consistent live vocalist i've ever heard in my life. she also does a mean cover of jessie j's "mama knows best" one take version, as well a beautiful rendition of "reflection" from mulan, both found on her official channel. THANK YOU for all your comments after! refreshing to hear a true fan of whitney's take on this for once. i was also pleasantly surprised she only touched early whitney sans the last song, i suppose. ♥️ she does another whitney medley of all the songs you'd kindly expect, but it's still pretty freakin' epic. also, GG is an absolute living goddess; love that woman. if you haven't heard of shoshana bean, i'd highly recommend you check her out, but i feel like you may be familiar with her. if i'm wrong, her & avery wilson's rendition of whitney's "saving all my love for you" is stellar.
Hi I'm New subscriber plssss react more Katrina velarde, sang mama knows best Go the distance I wanna know what love is I surrender with Jessica I turn to you with sam One sweet day with budakhel Never say goodbye ect...............thanks
Check out KATRINA VELARDES performance of ANAK at WILLIE OCAMPO concert. She really is an amazing singer. Very underrated yet super talented young woman. And lastly her ONE TAKE COVER SESSION cover of WHENEVER YOU CALL!!!She killed it big time!!!
Love the reaction sir, Her set of songs are the best Whitney Houston songs of all time. Try another artist. Kz Tandingans Rolling in the deep on the singer 2018. God bless.
I surrender- Katrina Velarde and Jessica Villarubin , Go the Distance, Reflection, Whenever you call, One Sweet Day - Katrina ft Budakhel...etc, then you can follow that up with Daryl Ong - Boyz 2 Men Medley
This is great! Thank you for featuring Katrina. Love it! Please check her “Latin Medley” as well; splices of Stevie Wonder, El DeBarge, Al Jarreau & Tito Puente/Santana’s melodies done in the latin rhythms. You’ll like it, I promise. Subbed. 👍🏻🎶🤗💕🇺🇸
I like Belinda Davids a lot too, she is another relatively underrated Whitney tribute act. Saw her live in my country and I felt so so emotional. She has been doing a world tour for years, and each time she sings 1hr 40mins or so of Whitney songs - including the most difficult ones. I'm amazed at hoe she does it
*Welcome to the world of Powerhouse Katrina. Most reactors start off with her doing - Go The Distance (OST Hercules)* ua-cam.com/video/VVFO8_jWvaQ/v-deo.html (This will show you "some" of what she is truly capable of)
it's these recording companies that are pushing songs that are veey simplistic and repetitive, easy on the ears, because it's easy to find artists like that and nowadays it's very easy modify and edit their voices post production, that's why audience preference for music especially in the west are ao dumb down that they don't care about songs like these anymore. they don't want ballads and amazing vocals because labels don't give a sh*t about artistry anymore. it's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY these days.
Hi. I am a new subscriber!!! Ure the best reactor! Please react to her version of patti labelles somewhere over the rainbow live at the music hall. This will blow you away and will take u to the church
Katrina Velarde makes this harder by sitting on a chair 💺 😳 Suggested duet video 📹: Katrina Velarde and Zephanie Dimaranan sing Umbrella 🌂 and Singing in the Rain 🌧
@@THEREALONE52 Regine is an icon who started it all. The young new crop of great singers we have idolized Regine, like Morissette, Katrina, Gigi, Klarisse, Charice, Jona, etc... The singing competitions at a national level are tight & tough to win. The 2nd or 3rd placers could easily be champions. The most popular singing competition is Tawag Ng Tanghalan which started in the 50s. If you can clear a Regine song, you have a big chance as her songs are tough. Thus a new breed of singers is born. Listen to Regine Velasquez Broadway medley duet with another icon Martin Nievera. link: ua-cam.com/video/ypnXl7VQESM/v-deo.html
Morissette can't sing mariah's songs that have no whistles and require immense agility like whenever you call, lead the way, and forever. She's not mariah of the Philippines. Katrina is.

I beg to differ on that one, you have to put MORISSETTE and SOHYANG in the mix because the 3 of them are vocal BEASTS 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.
@@steveheckle8847 im also a fan of morissette, but imo katrina is the best when it comes to covering songs of whitney.

This is what tribute all about no copying.
Morissette, Katrina, Charice, Regine V. are some of the best singers/artists/belters in the world who happened to be from the Philippines.
HURRICANE KATRINA!
Her rifts and runs have no equal.
I agree she is a master
❤❤❤
Check her Reflection and I Surrender
Yes please ❤
