  • ithought he was pilipino lol then he was singaporian lol

  • sus magkumpara pa...magkakaiba sila ng timbre ng boses...kaya hindi pedeng icompare..get a life.

  • made Singapore Proud =) Thanks :) FIRST ASIAN IDOL

  • please stop comparing him to Jed or Arnel becaure he's nowhere near their level....to those who said this guy is better than Jed or Arnel..get your ears fixed!

  • His rendition of Faithfully is okay for me but not as striking as his rendition of Through the fire.. But I still like it...

  • His version of faithfully is good but not as striking as his rendition of through the fire... But I still like it... stop comparing singers... just enjoy their talents...

  • i don't like arnel too. this is a good version.

  • hes in a lower key, the original key is a million times harder

  • oh no... he murdered the song on the last part... the "whoo..oohh...ohhh.." part.... that's the catch of the song really... and he murdered it. XD

  • oh man this song was performed on the glee finale episode too~ :)

    love it

  • the more these pee-noys trying to showcase their artists and compare theirs with ours, the more i hate them.

    who gives a damm abt them.. we support our own local talent. Period!

  • @bazook77

    keep on hating my man, until it eats your guts out.

    you see, these pee-noys as you call them aint gonna stop pissing you and shoving it down your throat but they will keep on saying that this hady mirza aint got nothing on arnel and mau marcelo or any pinoy (not pee-noy) singer for that matter.

    keep the hate , my man.

  • @wenngarud yeah i shall heed ur advice and keep that hate and at least i keep my comments in a non-peenoy clip such as this. In comparison some of your annoying pee-noy friends just cant stop hijacking other singers clip and criticize our own singers and keep telling us that their peenoys singers are better and yada yada .. when in the first place, who give a goddamm fug about them here.

    So if u hav nothin good to say here, its best that u get the fug off. Thank You

  • @bazook77

    i wouldn't have responded but when you start hating and insulting calling them pee-noys, i just have to piss on you. i don't give a shit about this hady mirza. he can be the champion of all champions. deep in his heart, he was outsang by some of the contestants.

    ya, be proud of him. i'll even cheer for you. when you start insulting, thats a different story.

  • watch this one guys, were do you think is better. . Pilipinas Got Talent - 16-year old Jovit Baldivino - Journey's "Faithfully"

  • the guy murder the song at the last part!

  • @kennex08 in a bad way? no he didnt he went down instead of up he did amazing

  • arnel is way better that his dude! very farrrrr! arnel is a chamelon! the best asian rocker

  • arnel is way better that his dude! very farrrrr! arnel is a chamelon!

  • jovit and arnel's version is still the best..

  • i would prefer the version of jovit,....

  • Great voice Hady..

  • he struggle with high notes a little bit. but its good performance none the less.

  • search for MentariSuria. her channel has a few of Hady's SI perf :)

  • You were so confident when you swung your voice in the Asian Idol. When it comes to quality ahemmm...... best ever. Continue and be humble always

  • I like his voice BUT its too happy-campy-pop-ish for THIS song. Faithfully is a ROCK song... it needs edge and high vocal range. Steve Perry has the vocal range as well as Arnel Pineda. Arnel also gives it that deep edge when he sings.

  • Try to listen to JAclyn Victor...

  • He is the best singer i have heard, i dont like arnel!

  • @masterimasim is it just because of their looks?

    mind you dude, arnel sings "faithfully" more fluently and way way more heartfelt.. that is why he is chosen to be the next vocalist of the original band who sang that song, the Journey.. don't judge them based on looks.. be subjective..

  • @masterimasim I'm Singaporean and to be honest, Arnel can sing at the same key and reach most or all the notes that Steve Perry hit, when he sang this song but hady can't, even when he sang at a lower key, he still wasn't able to hit the high notes. Having said that, I won't deny that Hady is good singer and he can sing but he is not the best out there and he cannot be compared to someone that was chosen by the band to join them as their full time and new lead singer.

  • Good for you! Congrats! At least there is something that the Filipinos good at.

  • maybe arnel pineda has a wider range and a higher pitch BUT hady mirza has a SWEETER and BETTER tonality compared to arnel

  • wow a best version of Faithfully. Good Job Asian Idol Hady Mirza!

  • @indra555 i'd prefer the version of jovit from pilipinas got talent..

  • @fdbjc do u mean pilipinas got talent or philipines got talent? I like the energy and audience here screaming and i hope charice love it too when she came here in singapore last year.

  • Comment removed

  • while the original arrangement of this song fits not into a tenor but into a mezzo soprano range...(a range that most females naturally have)....

    technically, any male singer can sing any song even female's and vise versa if the song will be rearranged or transposed....though some male really gifted which such a high pitched voice like freddie mercury, arnel pineda, bon jovi and others...

  • nothing like the original but he did it in his own style. pretty commendable.

  • walang sinabi yan..kay ARNEL PINEDA(philippines) of journey...

  • i dont know what some of you mean when you say, "He can't hit the high notes" because he's singing it in tune. . but of course since its "asian idol" theres a little accent in it as well.

    But yes, it could use a little bit more work on the lower parts of the song but it's still very good.

  • it wasn't bad but he could work on it. :)

  • The sad thing is we do not know how to appreciate a person gifted with a nice voice. would this mean that we are "INSECURE"? come to think of it..

  • HE's an awesome performer n singer n guitarist...wats up wif all ur nEgAtive comments?? try go up on stage n sing..if u guys didnt wet ur pants dat'll be a SHOw to c!!!

  • blacktoad70,

    I agree with you. Hady gave a different spin to the song. A tender touch. While Arnel merely give a good rendition but lacks originality. Steve Perry will never be copied! He's just too darn good!

  • If Hady is that good.He would have been in a bigger-global stage this time.Arnel can sing different kind of music and most of them are hard ones.Thats why their concerts are sold out in Europe,US,Canada.

  • God Willing.. Hady will be as good and as popular as Arnel. As for now, Hady is still in his youth, let him grow and gain more experience. Hopefully, when he reach Arnel's age, he will be more than ready. Cheers!

  • hahahahahahaha...what a shame! i heard a Chinese singing Faithfully is alot better than this guy.

  • Good for you then.

  • ohh, im sorry if i burst your bubble, im just telling you the truth.don't expect every one will like him and post a nice comment about this bum..as i said there is nothing special about him and he is good only for Singaporian crowd, forget international hady leave it to those who have talents..

  • BOYHENYO123, You don't even know if you can have meals for tomorrow, and now you're trying to predict someone else future? Hehehe you re NO God Mister.

  • shut the fuck up!! your from UAE what do you know about music?

  • That shows how LOW you are!

  • i don't think this bum can make it big in the industry....nothing special about him.

  • anyone who compare arnel p. with this bum is an idiot!!

  • I dont care about arnel pineda!!! What i know, I like this guy singing, cause he gave a breath of fresh air to this old classic.

  • no point of comparing to arnel pineda they have there own style....arnel is to much!!

  • I have notnhing against this guy but i can't understand still the reasons WHY he won the Asian Idol. This song is from JOURNEY, and he destroyed it completely. Arnel Pinedas' version is,to my view, very far BETTER. You look for: ARNEL PINEDA!!!

  • He didnt destroy the song. He changed the way he sang this song coz this version suits him.

  • I don't find it hard to compare the two. It doesn't need a second listen to be awed by Arnel's soaring tenor.

  • i like his voice. very clear. he deserves to win.

  • check for arnel pineda's rendition of this and you'll forget this singaporean hunk, hehe!

  • he won the song..

    he is better than that of others...

    ill be a fan.

    haha

    im from Phils. (Cebu)

  • Asians are making name in the whole world. Hady is good im touched evrytime i hear his voice. He can go far just keep it up!!! Hey! if your heart is into it SKY IS THE LIMIT..... you can make it

  • love this song n hady make me very2 love this song..

  • Awesome! He has a soulful voice...it will take him far... Come to America, Hady, they will like you here.

  • omg... azn can sing in english man... because it is influenced by their singlish.... Lol

  • I was watching Arnel's first concert with Journey in Chile and suddenly remember Hady's rendition. If you wanna see Arnel singing with the band who originally recorded this song, type: Journey - Faithfully live in Viña 2008 on the search field. I hope Hady and other Asian singers can also penetrate the international scene. We're not less talented than our western counterpart. It's our time to shine! World domination!!! (okey that part's a joke!)

  • no the ting is tt,in US,asians r still cnsidered low class to them..not many asians r able to make it tt BIG in US or UK..unless ur a citizen there..so its hard 4 us =(

  • Part 1: I don't think they see us as low class performers. We just don't know how to market ourselves properly. We have to find a way to let them know Asia is not all about Kung-Fu and piracy. Thanks to the internet, they are starting to discover the sleeping giant in us.

  • Part 2: Btw, funny you used the word "low-class". In Arnel's video, there's another Singaporean commented that Filipino bands are low class. Well there you go, how do u expect America to respect our talents if we ourselves think our music and musicians are are pieces of crap?

  • u wanna noe y we call ur artist crap??bcoz u called ours first..juz look at how many negative comments gven by the phil on hady or any other of asia's talent n btw i dun anyhow accuse ppl ok..i check e ppl who gv the negative comments profile n most of them r from phil...so r we singaporeans r in the wrong??u ans me

  • ok2 =)

  • OMG HADY is SO SUPER-frenly & SO SUPER-funny..n ppl sed he's nt frenly..DUH..im so glad 2 hv rceive a handshake 4rm him...but damn i cant get 2 take a pic wit him..so sad

    =(

  • oh, by the way, who asked if i was a filipino? as if it matters...when we are just talking about talents and vocabs :)...maybe, you don't understand what you are laughing about :)joke joke joke...peace...:)

  • for vievengeance: "for every action, there is a counter-reaction"...

    The filipino people is not known for their hospitality for NO reason...do a research on filipino culture to fully understand, don't just base your conclusions on what you read on youtube or other web sites...one more thing, don't apologize then complain as if we owe you something...forgive my frankness but it's the only way to make it clear for you...

  • ok peace out =)

  • n 1 ting tt i dun lyk abt phil ppl is tt dey like cmparing dis prsn 2 another prsn..lemme ask u..do u like being cmpared??no rite??

  • wow. hady is a lot betta than arnel this voice can melt american ladies :)

  • r you sure or its just because the good audio of this video makes it good.

  • haha diego no need 2 lie lah...u kip praisin arnel 2 me...pls dun be a hypocrite..anw subzrejan,if u tink arnel is better so be it..nth cn chnge a prsn's mind on who dey like yeah..every1 has their own opinion

  • but to answer your question, yes i'm a FILIPINO...and i am proud that arnel made it as the vocalist of journey despite criticisms from the some whites who makes it such a big issue that he is an asian.....i hope there's no need to elaborate this time :)

  • well yeah the whites r still being racist sumtyms..hwever its only the filipino ppl who r big in e west,so r other asians too...so kip on supportin ALL asians aprt 4rm urs yeah

  • great! one star for you! you got it this time!(well, part of it) :) ha ha ha!...that is exactly my whole point! let us support REAL talents not simply based on race and good looks! i respect jackie chan, anggun, jet li...etc...etc...does it need more explanation again? :) omg! :)

  • if ur in my shoes,u will undstnd hw i feel bein a sgporean...bocz i tot all pinoys r the same..sorry if i misjudge u

  • ha ha ha!!! omg, this is so funny :)...i don't think there's an intention to "show off 'good' vocab"...it's just that...nevermind :)...you made me smile though...peace....:)

  • huh??wad so funny..anw ur a phil..hi..how nice 2 mit u..

  • totally..i wlndt melt if arnel sang me dis song 2 me...hady wld...

    i realised tt most negative comments cum 4rm filipinos..wonder wassup wit 'em...

  • haha..now i get wad u mean..c'mon man,arnel is how old cmpared 2 a young singer like hady..gv him a break yeah...arnel has been exposed in lots of concerts while hady only got invited 2 small shows..

  • well, i can go on and have my litany on how other countries (asian countries not exempted)have exploited my own people, but i'm not gonna do it for you. that would be your job :) it seems that you are not socially and politically conscious :)...be more open minded,amiga :)...don't worry, this would be my last...it's too much! :)...you still keep me smiling :)

  • yeah2 wadeva..its ok..ur juz another pinoy..talk abt close-minded ppl...u really speak 4 urslf...gdbye

  • whatever...is this all that you know?...

  • Havid's words were wrongly understood. He wrote "...Hady pales..." which meant Hady was way weaker. The phrase "whose rendition is...better" referred to the closest noun which was Arnel. In short, according to havid, Arnel's rendition was much better than Hady's.

  • i'm melting when I heard HADY singing this song.. Soooo sweet!!

  • arnel is for rock ballad...hady is for soul ballad.that's incomparable.both sing very well.the two give immortality to the song.puro magaling...kaibigan ko si arnel,si hady hindi.

  • to ALL filipinos...im really sorry if in the past i gv negative comments abt u guys...pls do forgive me...

  • i think steve perry (the original journey lead singer) is irreplaceble. why the comparison when everybody has different tone and style in the first place?

  • havidwilcoment, thank you for comparing Hady with Arnel whom I found to be a good singer at his age. It is a great honour to be compared with someone like Arnel. Hope Hady will be as popular and as good as Arnel if not better. God Bless Hady.

  • ur sayin hady is better??

    bt b4 tat i tot u dun like him

  • hady PALES in comparison....definitely, arnel is better :-)

  • :). i dont know who arnel pineda is until i saw some comments here. :). i check it in here. hahaha. well ehemehemehem.

  • Did'nt know Arnel Pineda too until i saw the comments here,i checked it on Youtube, and he's been chosen to replace the lead singer of the American Band The Journey,which is the original singer of the Faithfully.Well good for him!!!

  • can i ask u guys??who is better??

    taufik or hady?

  • it's like a pup vs a tough dog, incomparable..i'm impressed with hady and i'm just proud of who we really are..we can show you someone with powerhouse voice, there's a lot of folks down here with raw talent, some were not given a chance, some succeeded despite being jerrybuilt! we just don't have enough tools

  • He's just an ok singer. Nothing special about him.

  • oi c'mon lah filipinos,pls dun ever ask us 2 check out ur singers lah...sick & tired of the same old ting

  • how come ya' know he's a flip? you really did check him out!? hahaha!

  • no time..anw he's too old..we wan a younster who cld sing dis song,not sum old faggot(oops)

  • VieVengeance,

    can you pls stop the insult. you can be critical w/o being nasty or rude. i know you are a hady fan, but please, dont respond in such a manner that can turn off non fans. don't disgrace yourself, hady and his other fans like this. i beg you. peace!

  • c'mon lah u hvnt seen the worse of wad dey talk abt our country..anw i already apologise 2 them already..wen they are the ones who started the chaos 1st...

    (im referrin 2 other vids nt dis)

  • hey Singaporeans, lets put this kid aljur15 behind us, as the new year is in, we hav no time for these ppl who are SO YESTERDAY, let him/her make a fool on him/herself here yeah? all we can do sit here and laugh at all this, its time for them to grow up and accept the facts, Peace and Love to all deserving Asians..

  • Before I leave this site, I just want to comment that Hady did a great job in this song (I can still remember my goosebumps when I heard this song in SG Idol 2006)

  • Oh well, I wont waste my time with you Roboi86 and Aljur15. I'm an educated professional who won't go down to your level.

    I will let YouTube take action againts your account (I already reported your accounts and IP address as well to YouTube).

    Enjoy insulting each other but pls don't involve your country or race when insulting each other - because you are disgrace to your country and fellowmen.

  • hey Singaporeans, lets put this kid aljur15 behind us, as the new year is in, we hav no time for these ppl who are SO YESTERDAY, let him/her make a fool on him/herself here yeah? all we can do sit here and laugh at all this, its time for them to grow up and accept the facts, Peace and Love to all deserving Asians..

    Please be responsible when putting comments in YouTube, stop using vulgar words that can cause scar to your country/race.

    Please stop being childish. YouTube Admin can suspend your accounts anytime.

  • wow tell dat to ur precious pinoys there 1st, coz we singaporeans wont start shyt unless u ppl starts 1st, so who agrees with me here??

    and wow we're "so scared".

  • arnel pineda who??hehe..lets all TOAST to the BOASTfulness of the pinoys(sum only)

  • Arnel was relatively unknown even in the Philippines until just recently (and he's been singing for 25 years, can you believe that?) Anyway, just type Arnel Pineda in the search field and you'll know the story.

    You Pinoys should STOP comparing Hady to Arnel Pineda because that's totally unfair! This is his time to shine. In my book, he gave justice to the song. If we want America to treat Arnel fairly, we should do the same with other artists.

  • arnel who?? yeah never heard of him too, and dat guy been for 25yrs?? and Hady just a year, WOW dats a compliment, thank you so much!

  • That's why I said that it's unfair to compare Hady to Arnel because Hady is just a kid.

  • dude. hady is 27 and hes very new, like i said, dats a compliment. ;)

  • I am not a dude, first of all. He is already 27? He looks younger than his age. I guess, we Asians age better than our western counterparts. Arnel is already 40 and the Americans thought he's in his 20s. Anyway, Hady reminds me of a Filipino actor Jericho Rosales.

  • im sorry miss, yupp we look younger than those wrinkly steak eating westerners haha! jk, bless our youthful looks! and Happy New Year to you and all Asians. Peace and Love to everyone.

  • Btw, I said Hady is just a kid because he is still a noob. Meaning, unexperienced.

  • i am confident tat wit alot of experience by havin exposure in singing like putting up concerts or wadeva,he cld improve a whole lot in his singing...

  • he can sing...can u??

  • How can you compare him to Arnel Pineda! This guy is an amateur. I can sing better with my MagicSing Karaoke.

  • if u're saying bad bout Hady...

    Oh c'mon!

    he's still quite new!

    he has been an idol for 18months!

    most other idols in asian idol have been an idol for about 3years!

  • not trying to say he's bad,but is he the best your country can offer?

  • ur from US??hmmm...he may not be the best but he can actually sing..dun tell me juz bcoz ur from US,u can be abt the talents in ur country..i agree tat there US has many2 great singers but sum cant even sing & still be known world wide & rich..at least he can sing unlike justin timberlake & sum of the american idol contestant cant sing too..there's nothin 2 boast abt yeah,juz bcoz ur an american

  • anw see his other vids if ur not satisfied..if ur too lazy,den thx 4 the comments u have posted

  • here we go again, arrogant and boastful pinoys. are all filipino people like this?

  • A BIG NOOOOO, I'm pinoy but I voted Hady for Singapore Idol because of this song way back 2006.

  • i kept questioning dat myself too, but hey once again they think we're insulting them, i mean, who start it 1st?? we singaporeans know the answer to that, yupp they're sure egoist ppl, sure cant lose...HAHA what a joke!

  • ohh there goes again the PINOYS..PINOYS can be VERY ANNOY-ing

  • DONT GENERALIZED because I DONT GENERALIZED SINGAPOREANS

  • wsup with these pinoys?? its doen its over with its SO YESTERDAY! damn the most egoist ppl ive ever known!! shame on u ppl!

  • DONT GENERALIZED because I DONT GENERALIZED SINGAPOREANS

  • thats for you, but half u ppl there need to grow up k?

  • done*

  • arnel pineda

  • He sang it at a pitch lower than the original. Obviously, he cant reach those high notes. He struggled. He's a lowly amateur compared to this Filipino who is now the lead vocals of Journey. But in fairness, for a country not really known for talents, he is good enough for a local singing contest.

  • have u heard 'practise makes perfect'?..at least he can sing,with lotsa practise,i bet he can make it to international level..i'm a singaporean & i used to admit tat singapore has no talents in singing at all but eversince he bcame singapore idol,i blieve i shld support local talents..yeah i noe singapore has little talent but still,if other countries can do it,y not us?

  • Is he the first Asian Idol? I have to say this is very nice rendition of the song. I like it. It's not the best version I have heard but considering he is still an amateur, he nailed it. Congratulations from us in the Philippines!

  • He's good!

  • look abodens,if u want a male singer 2 hit high notes den go find 'em urself..i tink u muz be a gay,tts y ur xpectin guys 2 act like gals too

  • oit idiot aboden...

    u tink dt hady looks like he struggles wen he hit d high notes. act no, he is putting all his feelings during performing songs...

    wats the point singing high notes with ur face looking like a person who is nt serious in singing juz stop talking bout others k...

    thank u n have a nice day... =)

  • at least he cn sing hindustan..

    he's abit versatile

  • nt abit..A LOT

  • dats coz male cnnt sing very high pitch like females...

  • see other vids of hady in SI2 to shut u up.

  • haha abodens,wad a pathetic singaporean u are..a prsn who underestimate his own citizen
