Asian Idol 2007 - Mau Marcelo Performance

[euphranic]

Hey, from Malaysia! I think the performance is great! I can't relate much with the first song due to it being in Tagalog but I really like the second one!

[thalabo6]

check!!! she is the best!

[allaninq]

tangina ang lupet ni mau... di talaga mananalo si mau,,, mananalo talaga un mga baby, baby, my baby baby...

[eicen22]

i really like her voice very powerful and great breathing technique..sarah G. maraming kapit sa media kaya siya ang nanalo sa star for a night na paka bias kc nla eh..go to hell sarah. pa wholesome ka pa pero sa luob pala demonyo ugali mo.

[josephricafort]

[MrHalohalo85]

@adaadasaje ok fine. so MrAisha21 is Singaporean, and i correct the statement to her being a "Singaporean shithead", but it doesn't matter if MrAisha21 is a Singaporean, Malaysian, Filipino, Indonesian, American, Kenyan, Saudi Arabian whatever etc, she is still a shithead for making a racist insult like that to such a brave and talented woman.

[adaadasaje]

@MrHalohalo85 ok u right now, haha..

[johnbryan1071]

[ZHAFRI231082]

[prettyrut]

[ezranicoloantonio]

@ZHAFRI231082 idiot..before making any comments make sure that you've studied spelling :) what do you think of yourself? PHILIPPINES..this is the correct spelling of Philippines...

[ZHAFRI231082]

yeah!!!! filipino globally export the maid !!!!!!

[ZHAFRI231082]

my filipino maid can singing better than this filipino ugly pig!!!! Filipino have talent to be international singer, but I see most them just be maid in malaysia..kah kah kah kah

[ezranicoloantonio]

@ZHAFRI231082 observe your subject-verb agreement :) idiot.LOL haha

[eijae17]

MrNicebuddies you, Malaysians are the ones who keep on comparing your singers to our famous, talented Filipino performers. that's why you deserve all the insults that you're getting! we dont need to attach the names of our singers to those of yours..coz we are known and critically acclaimed GLOBALLY. we dont need you, MALAYSIANS! LOL

[johnbryan1071]

@eijae17 

[MrNicebuddies]

I have no idea why Philippine hate Malaysian singer very much, we Malaysian, neither insulting nor hate Philippine singer the way you done to us. We just amaze with our own singer and we just be proud with them, is that something harmful to you???, If we do something wrong with you. Please forgive us OKAY????

[van8]

@MrNicebuddies personally i dont know the dispute but i have to say malaysians always claim things that doesn't belong to you guys. I'm indonesian and i always hates it when i see malays commenting on indonesian videos and start saying "Wow lagu malaysia" or on the Barack Obama speech in University of Indonesia so many malays start claiming "OMG Obama your Bahasa Malaysia is so good" Go make your own history buddy

[johnbryan1071]

@MrNicebuddies

you what we have malaysian singer is that pure MALAY means ugly in philippines hahahahhahahahhahahahah!!!!! even the language of malaysian's are funny makes my tummy ache!!! ur language is like an allien and the songs looks like invented not appropriate melody compare to filipino singer which is internationals like Nicole of pusycat, charice, REGINE VELASQUEZ, Lea salongga and many filipinas in hollywood!!!

[MrNicebuddies]

@johnbryan1071 i'm not talk about your language and i have no problem with you, i'm feel annoying with the subtitle voice that prevent me from listen the judges comment clearly. i not saying bad about your tagalog. so, what's your problem to insulting my language huh??

[magna101]

man, she ugly as hell...

[markleob]

@magna101 yet sings the greatest like an angel in heaven... get it? its not a beauty pageant.. DUMB..

[markleob]

@magna101 study grammar/english first.. lol...

[magna101]

@markleob oh.. another typical filipigno response.. filled with false pride and stupidity... as always.. LOL

[MrNicebuddies]

whatever who's country own that voice, I just want to said, it sound like crap, please remove that freaking voice immediately, so ashamed who's native speaker of that crap language!!!

[Everalderic]

She's incredible! Power vocal, and well controlled lung...

[ericmanipon]

Her voice is not powerful enough for the song Ako ang nagwagi, Ako ang nasawi. There's something lacking on that rendition of the song. The power and conviction is missing I think.. The second song is nit memorable enough to be a winning piece. I've listened to better Pinoy singers.. Anyway, all the best to you but you didn't get my vote on this competition.

[Rezuwan100]

@ericmanipon it's true dude...

1st perfmance...good but bored...

2nd perfmce...not strong to be a winning piece..n still bored..

i think she pick wrong songs la...compare to songs that her perform during Philippine Idol like first Love..on my Own that really make her vocal shining...

[harveyshane]

i love the way she sung "REACH". . .really good. . .full of soul. . .

[comedones08]

BETTER DAYS WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT AND SHE SANG AKO ANG NAGWAGI MUCH BETTER IN PHILIPPINE IDOL SERIES.... BUT OVERALL SHE'S GREAT... SHE'S GOT MORE TO OFFER....

[apocalypsis7]

she should've sang sweet love by anita baker...it's a good song for her...

[Sensbudz]

mesti mau!!!!

[VanHeusen69]

parang pagod na sya... at di pang birit tulad ni Jacklyn Victor...

[tantucing]

she is awesome

[nicknick89]

Anyway that singaporean judge sitting on the panel is a nitwit.

[renrono]

@nicknick89 Yeah right! lol

[nicknick89]

She really gave a heartfelt performance.

[misao1414]

i love miss mau marcelo. she really is the best philippine idol there is.

[MrNicebuddies]

actually, mau should to rearrange the song to be look fresh and creative. because urban Asian want to see something new-fashioned performance. mau performance is good but fail to attract Asian heart.

[chingeranne]

wrong choice of song

[nicknick89]

@chingeranne I agree with you. I'm a Malaysian but I really like Mau. I thought she could have picked another song like TRY IT ON MY OWN. she totally blew me away with that one.

[jerichopaul1]

its really good

[riz1375]

In my opinion.. Jac from Malaysia or Mau from Philipine who should have won the Asian Idol.. both got great voice in their own way.. I love both of them... Those SMS thing really pull the the real winner down... "He" just don't have that talent they both have.. sorry no offend ;)

[MrHalohalo85]

nice!! ang galing ni Mau!!! Blasian pride y'all! ;)

[rheL3002]

I'm still a fan of mau marcelo!She seems effortless when she sings!And the music piece "ako ang nagwagi" is a very hard piece.A salute to her!

[Spiderwebsti]

Mau marcelo has great voice but .vocally, she needs to "repair" her vibrato..too much ...and try to release her voice with control.....she's not a great singer if i judge from her vocal............emotionally, i can see that she's like pushing herself to reach the high notes with her "rough" face....she needs to show more emotions...........overall, 3 stars for you........

[raemounz]

'Ako Ang Nagwagi' is one of the hardest Filipino song to sing. It's a classic.

'Reach' suits Mau's voice perfectly. If this event was properly advertised in the Philippines, Mau would have won. I really don't like the comment of Ken from Singapore. I think he needs to give bad comment to Mau since she's the only contestant who can sing in performance level. He might be afraid that Hady will loose to her. But Hady is a great singer too only that Mau is much better.

[sweetymariz]

i think she choose the wrong song sellection,,

[darrenriccs]

punyetang translator!

[pokpokera]

i notice dapat hindi xa ang ipinadala sa asian idol why?/becouse 1st yung itsura nya hindi xa mukhang filipino.2nd hindi bagay sa kanya yung kanta kc rnb ang boses nya at hindi bagay sa kanya kumanta ng talagalog,imagine isang black woman nakasuot ng filipiniana at nakanta ng tagalog.hindi tlga xa mananalo dyan,bagay kay mau yung mga english whitney or dian reeves basta english.

[jerkyjack11]

@pokpokera natawa nmn ako d2 hehe

[jdar00019]

i hate the translator..i can hardly hear the judges comment..is it really needed to be translated?

[budakpendekk]

better than regine...but unfortunately she is not pretty enough..

but her voice is amazing

[beyokira12]

ang galing talga ng mga pilipino

[foldaline]

very proud si maureen marcelo to represent the filipinos..

[asianboi29]

i didnt understand the song, but, i can see that she is good. confidence level-very high. i meant it in a good way.

[JSABIERA]

You're a very good singer. Continue to inspire people. Instill an identity to all of us. Good luck Mau!

[labtec2050]

I see Pilita Corales as one of the judges. Were there judges from Malaysia, Indonesia or from countries (aside from Phils) who had contestants in this competition?

[x0ngdave]

Singing is just our hobby! Go Go Go Filipino singers!

[jesuisalex]

Ganda ng second performance ni Mau.. tuumayo balahibo ko (TRANSLATION: GOOSEBUMPS FOR 2ND SONG)

[wernest09]

hey

hubertjohn123

iam a filipino, iam friendly but to call us sore losers draws the line... why can u sing better than this?

go home to ur mommy

[worldagency]

one of most difficult song to sing actually. it needs very powerful voice

[barneyT67]

GUYS!!!

Great news!! Mau is coming back here in Manila....

She will be here hopefully by the end of this month and we're planning to have a get together para makapag sama sama lng mga supporters ni mau.

We will be updating everyone real soon.

[macky3692]

[bastimarata]

me mas mgndang pyesa pra sana ke mau... mas gnda sana if ung knta lumabas ung soul ng boses nya..iksi lng nung moment n lumbas ung pgkasoulful ng boses nya...pti birit..

[ralphsilang26]

Dapat siya ang nanalo. Siya dapat ang nagwagi.

[mEmaNkz]

voting kasi yung process para manalo sadly konti lng ang nagvotes kay mau pero isa siya sa mga pinili ng judges nung tinanung sila kung sinu gusto nila manalo...

[silver04]

san po yung part na my standing ovation si Mau from one of the judges???

[drazzlehook]

its vibrato...

[randdypencintawanita]

too much vibrator.... not so good....

[sophamores1]

mau is ok khit d tyo nanalo masaya kami dhil tinaas mo ang bandira ng filipinos......

napanood ko ang labasn nyo sa jakarta....

i think kaw nag pinakamagaling salahat...

its ok.....

^,....,^

[eljhay18]

great! great! great vocal!.. may saket p dw xa nyan??? partida pa.. xa dpat ang asian idol.. my text votes kxe e.. alm mu nmn ang pilipinas.. walang pera at wlang suporta.. dami kxeng insecure.. imbis n suportahan.. mau is d real idol!

[zonj211987]

parang maytae na ayaw makalabas ihihih,,, control parati,,,,,

[ClownFaceSG]

i seriously think she was among the best compared to the rest. No offence, even though im a singapore myself, i think she was the best. but i think if she was much more confident and prepared she culd have won, but i htink its not bad that hady won. i mean its good that we have an asian idol. it doesnt matter which counrty what matters is that we as asians must work hard and show to the rest of the world that we too are talented .

[proudtobepinoy1]

yeah like one only...i hope theres another Asian Idol...actually i jst knew this Asian Idol during 2008 Dec...its not so popular in Phil thts why the support to Mau is nyaha~...

[Shawby28]

this is one of the RARE times that the Philippines had lost EVER..... but Good job Mau you did great....

i really can't imagine how better you will perform if you're not sick during that competition.....

that's what we called "PARTIDA"....

[TheJMbishop]

I think mau marcelo shoud have won, she has the best voice and musicality,even the judges were impressed with her performance...

[hubertjohn123]

yes filipinos are the happiest and friendliest race in asia, but admit it or not, filipinos are sore losers...in any international competion when they lose, watch out for army of filipinos bashing and posting rude comments like a crazy gunman firing at all directions...lol...

[whitewitch143]

yeah its true but not all filipinos are like that...

[donarda]

that is not true, how could u say that,

more filipinos are discriminated, and that is more than losing, yet we bear it, posting rude comments? every races can do that, and as humans felt dissed or threatened, ofcourse, they fight back

[donarda]

that is not true

[scorpioninpink]

.,i'm a filipino and i agree with u... actually i also bash in youtube once but i regret it...

[polardog555]

@hubertjohn123 i hate to agree with you hahaha but bashing can be fun anyway :)) *guilty pleasure^^ HAHA

[polardog555]

@polardog555  i didn't see that, we're not losers and winning isn't everything anyway~

[prettyrut]

@hubertjohn123 hey u bastard what do u know all about us?u idiot what do u know about Music???!I bet u r >>>>>looser!!!dumbass!!look @urself first before insulting others? u!fool!!

[MrArtist21z]

laging controlled, sobrang controlled, di tuloy na hataw...

[rugenely]

Mau u have the best vocals...But the power is not there...

HuhUhUhUhU..oNLY tHE POWER is needed in this song!...huhuhuhu...its kinda not enough for me but the deliveration of the song good...but the lack of power....

Its okay Ur still the best!..

Hehehe...Phil!

[ofallkind]

she was off pitch...

[nicknick89]

bravo. from what i can tell. the first song was really hard to sing. HAhA kudos. job well done. Jaclyn did great too. =)

[maja229]

boring...zzzz...!!!!

[braianpogi]

your crazy singaporean,voice quality mau is much better than hady.

[alfonsojasmir]

Eva Castillo's version is better than this one.

[jimmyrico2]

My theory is this. It's not that the Filipino did not vote for Mau. The rule is that one has to vote also for a second choice. Most of the time I voted I chose Singapore's entry as second choice, thinking that he's the weakest finalist, Singapore being a much smaller country, whose populace are not much into this thing.

[ladycadbury76]

nalungkot ako ng mapanood ko yung competition kase i know kaya mo silang talunin but then ang feeling ko parang hindi mo napaghandaan.

pati yung arrangement hindi maganda hindi mo tuloy nabigyan ng justice yung kanta...

but then sana magamit mo pa rin yung god given talent mo to make to praise him and make people happy.

[lipslicer]

i also feel the same way. she could've outshone other contestants if only she was prepared. you can see here that she's not.

[rrfidellesmicheal]

do ur know guys who is the winner on these Asian Idol..?

[jeffersonix]

hady mirza of singapore

[zazyfaraz5]

Boring. Dragging.

[raufrasam]

Oh my god, how ugly girl.

[Mudsville1]

she may be ugly on the outside but she's beautiful on the inside, because her voice is amazing and beautiful.

[annjoy714]

we don't consider as part of our criteria of judging here in the philippines in our singing competitions whether your a beauty or not...it's in the voice dude

[kylechristian908]

@annjoy714 FAIL.............

[silver04]

its not boring or dragging, its just you dont understand the song...

[silver04]

oh referring to your self zazyfaraz5...

[mursalinontube]

hi there all filipinos.. it's just awesome from a filipine tallent, my salute .. kudos mau!

i just happen to realize that there's this first Asian Idol, which was held in my country (i'm abroad of indonesia since 2001)

and you know, if not because of these Asian Idols vids, i would've not know that filipinos have many talented singers (and bands, i suppose)

love you guys, i met some filipinos and thyre warm and friendly ... mabuhay from indonesia

[bongmahinay]

dont u know that there are so many talented singers from the philippines? here's some:

1.charice-now working with david foster.. many guesting abroad particular OPRAH AND ELLEN.

2.arnel pineda-new lead singer of journey.. who can forget the song OPEN ARMS

3.lea salonga-the movie mulan,remember? she also sang in closing ceremony during doha asian games.

4.regine velasquez-asian songbird..

[anniewengweng]

you forgot rachelle., astana fiestival.,winner

[jdar00019]

@anniewengweng i think its aicelle who won in that contest..

[hugie1985]

thank you..yes filipinos are very talented. we excel especially in singing...and yes we are very friendly...thanks

[shauzcryn8]

sana pinanlaban nalang nia ung better days nia.....dun ko cia nakilala!!!

[timepiece101]

she was loss because not all Filipinos supported her, most of the Singaporean voted their contestant....lol... God bless!!!

[jdar00019]

@timepiece101 this was not aired in the philippines..it was not advertised well because idol search was handled by a smaller TV station which reached few people only..that's why we are really not aware that this has happened..

[michipatify]

NA AIRED POUH CYA ,.,.,.SA PINAS

[Guapwong]

She should have sung an English song.

[sinaludsod]

mau started as a contestant in amateur singing contests, until she reached asian idol..

i cant see her right now singing in any other tv programs, hope she'll be given a break, and not just be left around...she is indeed very talented..

[Libogzxh]

i agree...her co-competitors in Asian idol have their own career especially Hady(of course, he won the Asian Idol) and jaclyn. Hady has his career going so well in Singapore, and the same thing with Jac in Malaysia...they are very active in their countries' local music industry while Philippines is just taking Mau for granted...it hurts to see a talented artist just being neglected...why don't they give Mau a break instead of marketing those artists who only got pretty faces but lacks talent???

[jdar00019]

@Libogzxh i hate this but i totally agree with you Libogxh.

[marjamesalbania]

@Libogzxh yes i agree with that.!

[songlover16]

i hope mau will be given the breaks she deserves.. love u mau!

[putchanamanoh]

kahit na hindi nanalo c mau, idol ko pa rin siya. go mau!

[czarjhaypi]

I love her versin of Reach. So soulful.

[beautylies18]

I think her song choices were not right for the competition.. It hindered her to make birit pa.. dapat mas higher pa dun..

[guyo]

no.. wala nmn sa taas ng naabot ng boses mo ang pinagbabasihan eh.. kung pakikinggan mong mabuti ung mga kanta ni Hady mas may feeling kay mau.. pero hindi ko sinasabing walang feelings ung kanta ni mau.. ^^

[justandhumane]

.it looks like an olympic game.LOL ur d best mau.

[54spiritedwill54]

Bravo...bravo!!!...

[cgtnerd]

palung-palo talaga mga pilipino...ang galing mo Mau!

Sana kunin ka na rin sa SOP para magkasama na kayo dun nina Gian at ni Jan...

God bless

Charles

[paulsmasher0916]

nice!

go mau!

[whitewitch143]

kahit di nanalo si Mau, shes still the best for us.. Wag nyo nga sya ijudge noh.. mga inngit lang kayo.. I think she will really win kso lang mukhang mga boring songs nya... hehehe but still shes good..

[highique]

I get the sense that Filipinos seem to think they are the best in Asia?? Ehem...Hello!! You're not! I won't say any country is the best cause every country has their talents and certainly Philipines has many...but other Asian countries have many if not more but they are more low profile n less hard up for validations...hello..if you're good, you dont have to prove anything..the reason y so many Pinoy bands are in pubs around the world is because they are cheaper than others..nuff said!

[jeffersonix]

bitter???haha..dont think filipinos in that way just because of some comments here.. we dont care about that ''best'', because for me that was a God's gift to us.

[ubasan]

hahaha bitter?

[vaughnivo]

hater

[intoyralz]

don't you even watch WCOPA (World championship of performing arts.) most of the time their is a filipino winner. just like the last wcopa 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and who nows maybe this years.

[jeffersonix]

philippines is also the winner of 2009 WCOPA..

c:

[ERUJIEproduction]

she kinda resembles jordin sparks

[cluelezz]

oh plse... dont insult jordin sparks!

[carmelomendoza]

best?!!lol...the best word is SCARY!!

[genuietube]

why would you be scared? ur not watching a Rated Thriller Movie, i think your in the wrong channel. I reckon its great 103,081 guys and gals watched it. Are you on drugs? Hang yourself okay and dont ever come back.

[sander45]

the BEST!!!!!! GRABE!!!!!!!

[gulaimasammanis]

she's amzing...

i mean is this a human or animal

what the amzing is

this singer look like hyppo when she sang the voice sound like chicken opra..

bwahahahahahahha!..

so scary freakin my eyes n ears...!

[skeyfunk]

FUCK YOU..........

[mikoyfc]

@

gulaimasammanis-if she look like hippo then what are you??? bacteria???? hahahahahahahahaha no, you are lower than bacteria!!! indeed , and check your grammar, no she is not freaking your eyes nor your ears because from the first place you are already a freak!!!!!! no need for her to freak you out!!!!!

[no1singerAJ]

I love it

[gimingawako]

i like her, but i seem to like amy N version of ako ang nagwagi

[romscabs20002000]

She is good

[braianpogi]

magaling tlga c mau pero tama lng na di sya ang nanalo,sa pinas pa lng di na sya sumikat sa asia pa kaya.singapore idol deserve to win coz he had the looks and voice,complete package for a star in the making.dapat ang pwede ilaban dyan ay c laarni lozada ng pinoy dream academy pero siyempre di naman pwede.obvious na wla ng season 2 ang sa gma7 kasi hindi ngclick.i heard ibabalik na lng nila ang pinoy pop superstar.sana kunin na lng ng abs-cbn ang franchise,definitely it will be a hit.

[ebsalmighty]

tsss. music is music.

masyado kang commercial magisip

no wonder kaya tayo nawawalan ng mga magagaling na singers ngaun

[mikoyfc]

duh,,its a talent contest not a beauty contest. looks is not that important for me. we should trow away that kind of mentality.

[itloghilaw]

e bakit si stephanie mills at roberta flack mukhang mga bakulaw bakit sikat?

[scorpioninpink]

Kaya nga wla nah tayong magaling nah singer eh... Kc puro face factor nah lng... Watch ASAP and SOP... kht wla ng capability kumanta eh pinapakanta pah rin.. C charice kung hnd pah inimbitahan sa ELLEn at Oprah e hnd rin ganun kakilala... Mas niningning pa sya sa america kc mga tao dun may alam sa ibig sabihin ng magaling na singer...
