The first time I heard this song, I was shocked at how talented he is and how he can maintain the energy level throughout the song without fatigue. He's amazing and I love this performance. I see you enjoyed it. There's a lot going on in this performance for the first time listening to it. I enjoyed your reaction.
Many of us who knew him before (or even watched him live) already have dissected his method, style, technique of singing, whether he sings jazz, R&B, hip hop, gospel genre music, etc., that during the advent of his debut in the music world in his younger days, everyone took notice immediately and they were asking to know more about this phenomenal singer. In a short time he swept everyone off their feet with his unbelievable talent of performing and singing, whether recorded or live, that he was often referred to as the "Al Jarreau" of the Philippines back then but mostly today he goes by the tag, "Mr. Pure Energy" given the fact he can move/dance like Michael Jackson also. Female audiences couldn't help but be ecstatic during his live concerts.
Gary V. is not fading at his age. back in my early teenage days Gary V is already kicking in singing, dancing and even in films. that's why we call him Mr. pure energy!
He is a legend in Philippine entertainment industry. A singer, dancer, percussionist, composer, tv host, actor. He is half Filipino half Puerto Rican, like Bruno Mars.
1 of the best reactions for this performance... Someone who actually knows what he/she is talking about. Also, watching her dance was so cute, it's bonus.
The jazz song SPAIN was first composed by Chick Corea and released back in 1973. Then jazz singer Al Jerreau put in the lyrics in 1980. When Gary Valenciano did this cover song, he did it the jazzy way in scat form, what we call voice percussion back in the day and you presently call it - beat boxing, I think. With his vocals he emulated various musical instruments such as the drums, conga, guitar, bass, trumpet, sax and even the triangle as he moves his body to it's rhythm. He totally immerses himself in the song. The musicality in him is simply awesome. Gary Valenciano is known in the Philippines as MR. PURE ENERGY himself. With 39 albums to his name, he is indeed a very good singer/composer. Please check out Gary Valenciano's - Take Me Out of the Dark. Here, you will feel the other side of Gary Valenciano, as a FILIPINO with all his passion and emotions, rolled into one ... The complete package. Have a good one, Nina. Cheers !!!
Gary is amazing, and everyone in our country knows that quite well. You're amazing too. I think you're the best coach to do reaction videos. I don't know if you heard the songs before you break it down on your videos, or you're doing it impromptu. But for someone who has no idea about, "cry, runs, vocal agility", and so on, watching u immitate those notes helps me learn a lot. :) you're doing a good job, you're amazing as well. love you n your vids.
He is called mr.pure energy here in the phillippines,full of energy while performing,he is a good christian,,pls.do a reaction on him singing "taking me out of the dark" and "warrior is a child"thanx
Yes Nina, he is full of energy, that is why Philippines marked him a Mr. Energy in entertainment industry. Loved your reactions and comments. God bless
Thank you for reacting at last to Gary Valenciano, regarded as one of the legend singers in the Philippines that younger generations are looking up to. He produced more than 30 albums so he really knows how to produce music. You should react to his prodigy Katrina Velarde sing this same song with him on st sage, then see how amazing Katrina on her own too. I would recommend her impersonating singers no 3 for a start. Thank you supporting Filipino artists
The guy is a legend in our country. His title, since we are so big on titles in our country, is Mr. Pure Energy. The guy can literally dance as good as his singing and as fast as well. He started his career emulating Michael Jackson from his singing and his dancing and now evolved to one of the best adventurous singers in the country. I said adventurous because music genre seems to not limit this person. And if that still doesn't impress you, let me tell you that he is doing all of these while suffering diabetes. The dude has to inject insulin every day or else he would almost immediately drop dead..
He is a great singer/ dancer! They called him mr. pure Energy in Philippines. And I love the way you give your comment/opinion! And this is the first time I saw that side of yours!
He is not only a good singer he is also a very good dancer thats why they call him here in philippines a energytic man..he can sing while he is dancing..and he can play all kind of music instruments.
So much fun to watched, Nina so connected to the song and singer. Sometimes Nina hesitate to where to stop with so much going on. Thank you to your honest to goodness reactions.
physical performer he is. gary v is a very very good dynamic dancer. in the philippines he is a singer composer, a hit maker and a gospel preacher as well. he was named mr. pure energy. you should see him dance
Finally!!! I was waiting for you to react to Gary V's "Spain"...all your comments were on point. "Mr. Pure Energy" as we fondly refer to him in the Philippines is such a vocal athlete and a talented performer, singer-songwriter, dancer, musician, actor, music producer and television host. Enjoyed your reaction. Warm regards from Dubai.
Would you believe he's 53yrs old? He's called Mr. Pure Energy coz he is one of a few artist here that can sing and dance gracefully at the same time. His songs are usually worship songs. Please check out his "Warrior is a Child" in the Wishbus. If you want something recent that showcases his dancing check out "Sayaweh". He did it during the quarantine days here. Thank you for this awesome reaction!
Here in the Philippines, we call him Mr. Pure Energy.. He sings, dances, plays the piano and percussions too.. Guess how old he is.. 55.. He's one of the legends of this country.. 😁
watching him when I was young, i thought he was just so over active. Did not appreciate him much. As he got older he has refined his craft that I've grown to appreciate much more.
not alot of people know this but even with his successful musical career, he took a personal deep dive study into music and the vocal instrument. i hope someone writes a biography one day. id love to hear his musical theories etc.
This song was originally an instrumental by pianist Chick Corea in the 70's. Al Jarreau added lyrics in 1980. There are live versions of Gary performing this song with Katrina Velarde, who Gary met when he was a judge at the X-Factor Philippines in 2012. She became one of his backup singers for a while. The best version is "@ the Town Hall".
He moves a lot because he is used to dance along when he sings up beat songs. He is a natural and excellent dancer as well. You should go to one of his concerts and you'll immediately feel like you're in a big fun party!!!
Among ALL Filipino talents, Gary V. will always be my fave...no disrespect to other local singers...been a fan since 1987 when he sang my all-time fave song - Take me out of the dark...
HE IS A LEGEND HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES. HE IS CALLED MR. PURE ENERGY :) Love the reaction ❤ Hope to see you react to KZ Tandingan on the wish bus! :) and also, Gary V again on the wish bus singing I Will be here/Warrior is a child 😊
He is "Mr Pure Energy" Gary Valenciano...He is a singer greatest dancer a composer a drummer a pianist so on and so forth...No other artist here can do what he can do
Gary is a great singer. Thanks a lot of your great comments and reaction coach. I lobe ykur cuye smile and laugh. You are so adorable and beautiful. I love your voice as well. You are so cute!
Your reaction gave me good vibes coach. Very detailed, & you really give credit & points to the technique. Our very own Mr. Gary Valenciano is very popular in the Philippines & known as Mr. Pure Energy/ Michael Jackson of the Philippines because of his exceptional skill in dancing & of course as you can see in singing. He did this 3yrs ago & now he is 55yrs old. He can play drums, piano, & percussion. He is also an actor & tv host. Every singer in the Philippines looked up to him. Thank you for appreciating Filipino talent. More power,
He was the Philippines answer to Michael Jackson in the 80s. And yes, you need to find videos of him standing up and dancing too. There's a recent fun quarantine home music video of him doing "Sa Yahweh" on his official channel. =).
So you're impressed hahahahaha...gary is known as Mr. Pure Energy of the Philippines. He is an icon here in our country. He is one of the roots and idol of every singers here. His at 50's now but he still can sing and dance like the old days. Thank you for that funny, enjoyable, and lovely reaction. Pls do reaction next time of his original song Take Me Out Of The Dark. Be safe always and God bless miss Nina
Hi Ms Nina new subscriber here 🤗 of all the reactions I've watched on this covers yours I like the most. Bec that is also what my reaction is during watching this. And the detail you noticed about his singing style, that is his signature moves that's why we call him Mr pure energy here in the Philippines. He was the king back when during 80s and a living legend already.
You wanna see him standing? Oh my that is where he is at his best, singing and dancing live. A great singer and a great dancer. Here in the Philippines we call him Mr. Pure Energy.
You always comment on performers on Wish singing while seated. I think you should watch Morissette’s GGV Challenge. She sang a few lines of a song 4 times in various positions to challenge her vocal ability. No captions but I am sure you will understand what its all about.
One of the legend here in my country, the Michael Jackson of the Philippines, his really good on dancing and singing.. Please check out his song "Take Me Out Of The Dark" on his channel.. Thank you 😘
Filipinos of the Philippines are the finest singers in the Far East. Gary is a great singer, a movie artist, a good dancer, an X Factor music judge, a band leader, an.energetic BIKER in his GARY VALENCIANO You Tube Channel which I also follow.. .. He once lived in USA. But that's not all.... a good singer for Lord Jesus songs... Etc... This guy has so many talents.... He is just one of Filipino great singers....
a voice of a 53 years old musician, composer, dancer, director, with 26 albums, 12x performer of the year...a legend.
'Gary is so much into the song, that he becomes the song himself'. I think that's the highest form of compliment a singer can ever get. What a guy.
He plays all instruments, he covers all genrès and he can freaking dance! He's a fireball on stage.
The first time I heard this song, I was shocked at how talented he is and how he can maintain the energy level throughout the song without fatigue. He's amazing and I love this performance.

Gary is a percussionist. That's how he is able to do all that.
Musically inclined people can not watch this kind of music without moving.Nina, you certainly can't. It is fun watching people having fun. Thanks.

"You Got Me Working" for pure energy dancing or "It's Over" for vocal percussion by Gary Valenciano from back in the day.
