Close Up: Closer You and I (Before and Now)

[Magnus19681]

The version by Gino Padilla is better, hands down!!

[volikoto]

the original version of the song at first makes the ad so popular... until sponge cola ruined it...

[glabz25]

theres nothing wrong witn the new one naman..pg na luma yan 10 or 20 yrs frm now ok din yan

[koocox]

maganda pa rin 90's walang tatalo sa 80's and 90's na era

[UNSYAME]

Sponge cola sucks!!! Epic fail... Sayang binayad ng close up sa sponge cola! Parang tumutula... :(

[marasigantubtub]

the first commercial.because without this commercial (90's) the commercial of kim and gerald cannot be made.the original is the best.the commercail for now was imitated.

[358462]

yung luma syempre... it brings back the memmories...

[magpiefemme]

WOW,,,,kinikilig ako everytime i see commercial from 90's

[catzup]

putang inang sponge cola ang baduy

[Advance10Shipping]

Hands down original

[construkticons]

original is always the first and the best! :)

[xnhor]

mas nakaka-kilig yung orig hands down!

[dafallen666]

xempre una hehehe

[jcotmine]

if they use the original singer or song,, bka pumantay pa sa original,, ng konting points,,

[jcotmine]

orig is orig,, it can't be change,,,

[wx9jess25]

the original ang the best..... yun bago puro pa-cute, parehong a-s-s-hole.... hehehehehehe....



[vanessabonde]

I agree. I'll still go for the original. Iba ang dating.

[MrErol70]

ayoko sa lahat ng gaya gaya!

[keanmikhos818]

the best pa rin ang orig!!!!

[cassyclim8]

Lovin' the original!!! the singer, the song, the storyline, the cinematic effect, everything :)

[oharapelaez]

The original of course, the scene is timeless and Gino Padilla's version is more poignant and romantic!

[kulotzk]

The New Version was a joke especially the band!!!!!!!!

[sweetiepiejer]

The original would ALWAYS BE THE BEST!!! I really miss those days!!!

[gubuan18]

i agree with MsTomato2010,bhadjifu, and junoboy02...

[MsTomato2010]

original. makes more sense..the new one is like doing those pa cute things..

[bhadjiful]

panget nung ngayon! studiong-studio, feels fake!

[junoboy02]

ito ang pinaka walang kwentang revival na narinig ko...100% failure! i mean my god, they saw that the first rendition is a masterpiece sasabakan ng spongecola ng ganyang version! so sad.

[boogernights]

It's sad when a commercial made 20 years ago is better crafted and better acted than the recently made one.

[ihipero]

for me the original po...

[yheintzelman]

original siempre

[MrPrincebinondo]

The Original parang ANGEL & PHIL YOUNGHUSBAND ng ASKALS

The Remake parang  ERICH & ENCHONG DEE

[MrPrincebinondo]

The only difference is that THEY UPHELD VIRGINITY IN THE PAST!!!!!!!!!

[serenity0324]

@MrPrincebinondo tomoooooooh! ngayon hay...vulgarity and walang class.

[ganitestud]

Song - the original is way better than the cover.

Main Actor/Actress- the original is so natural; the modern version is kinda fake.

Story telling - the original captures the essence of being teenagers, the modern are pure theatricals almost no teenager can relate to.

[riatumlad]

I love the original version...more than that the setting and plot of previous commercial is way better than the latter.

[ssyoki]

kilig yung original

[rickythekid]

the original was the best... it said a lot and you can feel the excitement of the couple going on that date. the new one... looked and sounded wrong. Sponge Cola's cover of "You and I" was bland, and the lengthy vid itself came to me as uninspiring and non-realistic.

[jbgiant2003]

BUlok yung kina Kim Chui and Gerald Anderson........comercial directors nowadays are so..................irresponsi­ble!

[Krrrimmi]

DA BEST C GINO PADILLA. SPOILER ANG SPONGECOLA. :-p

[cheae74]

Original din ako

[bokology]

Wala bang HD yung original??

[bokology]

Original! Ang galing! Cinematic! May sense!

[amazonian1111]

ORIGINAL!



[johnnebula]

The best ang original! PAti yung version ni Gino Padilla masmaganda.... mas nakakain love...

[acejrc]

kaya nga original kz wala talagang tatalo.....

[eric2878]

yup I agree mas maganda padin yung original.

[dyords31]

Mas maganda 'yung orig... both the version of the song & storyline!

[ERIC052778]

@dyords31 AGREE! 1 more,..SUPER AGREE! :)

[GreaTMaX32]

Mas maganda yung 90's version..

Sorry sponge cola..

Hindi maganda yung version niyo..

[joycruz012009]

Like the first one (original).. :))

[KeiOnBu1203]

maganda din naman yung remake. lalo na't andun si Kim Chiu! :D but nothing beats the original.

[heidaisy]

ang cute..... maganda yung dalawa...

[lubotski]

I like the original better! Mas cute

[bu331hay]

ang sakit sa tenga nung new version...sobrang trying hard magpaka rock

[buwakag]

mas matindi ang dating ng orig!mas nakakakilig!

[zeecarcass]

The best pa rin ang original, because of that song by Gino Padilla I met the girl who becomes my wife now.

[ERIC052778]

@zeecarcass WOW! ur Lucky bro! Coz the girl that I met during this song's popularity,..is now a happy wife of some1 else :) lol..pero OK lang. Life goes on :)

[boyong4941]

OO nga da best ang original kasi kami yung naka BLUE na nag lalaro ng football sa background 19th and 20th second..Don Bosco Mandaluyong College varsity..sa sunken garden sa U.P. eto...lol!

[Ichimaru29]

Corny yung new version both song rendition and Ad, pero hot pa rin si Kim Chiu :P

[wineflores]

Origianal ang maganda!!!

[mhayne127]

the original....kailangan pa ba explanation??? :)

[Lanz16]

the old one, kailangan pa ba yan itanong?!?

the new one killed the sincere essence of the music!

[aupian94]

The old one hindi kasi it's my generation but hindi close studio setting not outside and you can really relate bc panahon noon usong uso ang phone pal or partyline and the common gift is a stuff toy and go out on a date.Iba ang setting ng bago MTV about the group actually not the situation like most of the ppl saying in here may sense yung luma.

[dravenmedina]

Okay yung luma. May sense. The best. Yung bago puro pacute mga Pakyut.

[ERIC052778]

@dravenmedina You said it right! Iba tlga nuon eh,......

[MrPrincebinondo]

RETOKADO at O.A. yong new version.....

[raidersnoypi]

the classic one is the best !!

[jbgiant2003]

comparing the models, sa una so refreshing natural ang ganda, unlike kina Kim and Gerald, too much make up, nagmukhang matanda!

[jbgiant2003]

plus the second one masyadong maraming camera tricks at halatang studio, kakasawa!

[jbgiant2003]

When it comes to chemistry of characters, cinematography, role play, the first one is the best not only because the characters had a chemistry , the scenes are just as refreshing as the product itself! So youthful and yet so fresh! The secodn one had justice pero medyo OA. I knew the theme is about loovapalooza... spreading the love.... pero nawala yung essence nung product! masyadong focus sa main actors at heavily made up mga mukha! So Still the oroginal is the best! Learn from it!

[lca9344]

First one!

[iamsokyut]

the first one is still way better than the remake.

[TheRonmaru]

im a fan of spongecola but still the first close up commercial is the best and i like gino padilla's song better...

[jhaybee96]

BULOK NA YUNG MODERN VERSION!!!

[sukisakain]

2nd one is cute. But the first one is the best. No contest.

[orange0819]

FIRST ONE...HANDS DOWN!!

[gorgonyaful]

the first one..no question about it

[dandandandanflores]

lahat ng classics, mas astig.

[vargasshiela]

classic times always the best ..mas romantic ang dating at very natural ang acting ng model before very simple yet romantic ang dating..etong pangalawa walang dating..pa cute lng ang mga models dto..at npka simple ng mga model very filipina ang beauty..ang ganda nya..

[roseali3]

mas cute ang mga bida sa pangalawa eh... kaso mas may dating ang pagkanta dati

[MrJazkiller]

sus maryosep the second one obviously can not sing... more practice pare...!!!

[mindcontrolproject]

rehash na lang yung kina kimerald. wala pang kalatoy-latoy ang pag-awit ni yael. in short, tae ang remake.

[orange0819]

@mindcontrolproject ntawa aq...:):)

[aldrinrobles]

d best ung una at ung version ni gino syempre piz :)

[robertchase01]

Sobrang try hard naman maging western high school tong modern commercial. Akala mo naman ganiyan yung cafeteria tsaka may uniform kaya lahat ng tao. Anu ba yan. FEELING lang na Amerikano.:-|

[djicelgp]

0:01 - this statement is only in the comparative degree, therefore, you should have used, BETTER not "best"

[poshaubrey]

syempre after 2 yrs or so sasabihin ng mga nasa generation na un na maganda din un 2009 version.

[michimygolly]

hindi maganda ung 2009. hindi nakakainlove ung version ng sponge cola parang lasing lang. tapos pacute lang ung commercial. maganda ung luma.

[bogs1122]

Idol ko sponge kaya lang hindi maganda pagdeliver ni yael ng song,maganda ung rendition un nga lang hindi maganda pag deliver nila sa video...imagine 20 years may makapanood nito,..hindi din maganda icocoment nila sa band,...hindi factor ung popularity,..dapat timeless din ung representation...peace^^

[julrel]

walang kwenta yung kar kim at gerald....no point of comparison

[MsGolly]

sana may magpost ng commercial na hinahanap.... :(((

[MsGolly]

sa old version ako. mas nice at hindi trying hard na ma-please yung mga manonood,sobrang natural unlike sa new version. meron din ako hinahanap na close up commercial. yung 2nd version ng kay robin da roza at bea valdez? yung nag-eemote sa robin da roza sa rain while waiting for bea to call him. ang lyrics ng background song ay,"cant forget the special close up moments,things havent change and how i wish you were here". tapos ang huling line ng commercial ay,miss me?i dont think so.i think so.

[scarletsascha]

Yung part na iniwanan ni Gerald Anderson ng food si Kim Chiu...FAIL. As if naman kumakain si Kim Chiu. Hahaha.

I love the old one better. Panahon ko yun eh.

[nirvblakr]

I love the original 80's commercial. Brought me back lots of memories. :)

[rolandabao]

mas maganda yong bago

[manilagirl26]

ang sweet nung commercial nung close up 80's kesa sa new one. haay naku sinira nila ung ganda ng song..hhmmpp!! kainis!

[snowtirin]

@manilagirl26 korek, nag eemote pa nmn ako. lol

[mic0let]

mas ok ung original.. ganda ng pagkakanta ni mr. gino padilla... nasira ng sponge lola ung kanta... but the the two videos are good

[aldeia18]

Raya Roa commercial is better than Kim Chu...

Raya is beautiful and super intelligent...

She is now an executive manager of one biggest telecom company in philippines...

[ineedpotato]

I super love the 80's..Reminds me of how life was simple then, just riding your bike around the village with your friends, Usual pa-cute and "telebabad" with kilig factor when you receive some stuff toys or love letters. Real clean fun...no offense to the current dating agenda but generally different from the 80's.

[clannex73]

it was super kilig when you watch the 80's version..though nice din ang 90's but i like 80's more...

[JubsMarquez]

medyo TH ang original IMO.

[gigi4867]

ako rin. mas gusto ko rin ung original. at mas romantic

[geraldinetambot]

both are nice, but i prefer the original music of that of the '80s

[lordarchmagnus]

80's pa rin!!!

[ERIC052778]

God I miss the 80's and arly 90's! :)

[sazzy12]

mas gusto ko ung commercial ng Late 80's kesa ung bago.

[malouescasa]

the original's way better! :D

[reyne1978]

The original one is very romantic!! Missed this commercial.. Thanks for posting...

[dbdarlina]

of course the orig!

[penpusher77]

Sponge cola ruined this song big time. :(

[nikdic]

i agree the close up commercial way back in the 80s is better than the present close up commercial and it brings back a lot of memories

[joanqt2004]

prefer the old commercial and gino padilla's version of the song

[Aleancelo]

I also prefer the 1991 version. Raffy Ladao now lives in California and a bit chubby.

[malouescasa]

@Aleancelo how do you know he's a bit chubby?

[Aleancelo]

@malouescasa He's a Facebook friend. His stay in the Land of Milk and Honey may have contributed to his weight gain. Of course, there's also age catching up on him.

[tommygirloz]

I like the original version more. Nothing beats the original!!

[goodnatured69]

early 90s to, yan ang mga tugtog nung kami ay kiddie crew sa jolliibee habang naglilinis kami ng mesa.. hehe. gr.4 summer vacation...

kimerald is pwned by that 90s duo. nasan na kaya sila ngayon?

[ianjenron]

walang duda.. yung luma ang mas maganda..hindi na nga dapat pinag kokumpara kasi mag kaiba talaga ang level nila..by far, mas maganda yung original.. well dahil siguro batang 80's ako.. pero hindi rin.. mas maganda talaga yung luma.. hehehehe...

[stringfellow168]

mas maganda nung panahon namin noh!! hehehe iba tlaga!! :-) may kulang nga dun eh " CLOSE UP FOR SHINY WHITE TEETH FRESHES FRESH BREATH..BY PRC (now UNILEVER)

[shroomsbaby]

ganito na ba ako katanda??? pati commercial na remake na. haha. 31 years young. i just get better with age. parang alak. btw, i still like the original. mas may dating. some things are better left alone.

[spider2000]

i like d cheer leader girl nasa 3:24 her killer smile and she's cute... what's her name? anybody..

[venice112]

I'm a kimerald fan but I LOVE THE OLD VERSION BETTER! May kilig factor, mas sweet ang dating... no offense pro for me, may pagka-corny yong pagkagawa ng new version, something seems missing. They could have made a fresher version of the kimerald commercial.

[mizleezah]

the raffy/raya tandem, anytime!!

[aleithea16]

Both versions are good but the song rendition makes the difference. Sponge cola made a crappy rendition. The song had lost its sweetness. They should have done better. I was expecting a lot from them but they failed me this time. :( BTW, I'm a lover of their music, their own original music.

[indankse]

im only 19 you dumb ass.. and i will not put on ma car the sounds of zis spongecola's garbage music! the fuck generation are yah talkin bout? c'mon men.. i heard the orig ver & it's dumb fuck better than zis garbage!

[indankse]

GARBAGE!

[00KingBomba00]

malinaw sa tv yung luma mas maganda yung luma

[dodaquial]

me too...goosebumps here. the sweet song noon naging sour ngayon. the soft song noon naging hard ngayon. i agree with lemondewy, grazmir, pin9y, patr3ck and the others with the samr senti.

[pakman1978]

By the way, the girl in the original close up you and I commercial is Raya Roa-Gonzales, she is now the Head International-National Sales of Globe Telecom... I really love this girl.. her charm and sweetness in that commercial... :)

[pakman1978]

Wow.. I really love the original close-up closer you and I commercial.. I remember my first love Ann Leslie Sy nung High School ako sa Holy Child.. Parang kamukha niya kasi yung girl dun.. Naiisip ko pa din siya.. :) Thanks sa nag upload.. God bless...

[charliecr24]

orig is still good..kasi they hired fresh looking models..talang with a killer smile not because they're famous(no offence to kim and gerald coz i love them too)..bad rendition loves the original

[A24004]

Precious is now a public servant n QC, Infact...kakakita ko lng ng campaign poster nya for the May2010 election

[mejo]

ROFL! For those people who hating sponge cola, you guys need to get over it. cuz it show how old are you guys oo okay ung old ver. but c'mon face the reality thats why its called new version inaakma lang for todays generation.

[lemondewy]

Of course, the original's much better! :) Mas may impact at mas "fresh" noong time na yon. Pati pa ba naman theme song for close-up ad, nirerecycle na rin?Eeek.hehe.Sana kumuha nalang ng ibang song para naman may masabing "own"close-up theme song yun loveteam for that ad. In all aspects, mas ok pa rin yun old commercial -- mas sincere.

[grazmir]

forgot to mention...ang sama ng rendition ng spongecola, masakit sa tenga, tunog lata na...para pang lasing ang kumakanta

[grazmir]

do we have to ask which one?

in the original ad they used unknown people to play lead roles that up to now, we never found out what happened to them, and yet the mystery of their characters still haunt us until now...

ung ngayon, talagang gumamit ng known personalities para lang isaksak sa viewers na "hoy bumili kyo at yn ang gamit ni G at K"

[pin9y]

Definitely the original is better. First, sawang-sawa na ako kay Gerald Anderson at kay anorexic. Second, bad rendition of the song.

[yukariniro05]

ang banda ng pilipinas na taga sira ng kanta"SPONGE COLA" XD

[abirun08]

Hmp,Babuyin ba naman ang favorite song KO!!!!! Hwag nang e rivive pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gauge010]

I hate it! Awful! Sponge sucks!

[poniks121374]

ano ba ginawa nyo sa kanta...bakit binago nyo,tapos pinasama nyo pa..mas magaling talaga yong original...gino padilla pa rin ako..

[RosieLouxo]

l'mayo

[dboyandro]

sa totoo lang? mas maganda yung original kaysa rivival. tama nga sila its more balad at winasak nga lang ng sponge cola ang kanta. cguro wala ng maisip na kanta. hahaha ang ma inverna wag magagalit.

[ajjie]

mas nakakakilig yung original commercial... besides, the song was written and composed as a ballad and not a rock song.

[patr3ck]

i can't agree with you more. nun napanood ko ule ung original commercial nagka-goosebumps ako. after all those years na hindi ko nakita, ganun pa din ung dating saken.

[Aleancelo]

Nothing beats the original!!!! The models are not a pair of showbiz wannabes.

[THEFTLUXE]

sponge cola sucks taga sira nang kanta

[psychelocker]

xempre nasa sau n un kung saan ka ki2ligin hahaha db???......depende rn un sau kung saan sa dalawa ung type muh dahil makaLuma kb o MAkaLAtest???...hehehehe comment lng poh para saken un hah?...16 plng kc ak0h eh...

[battou66488]

well totoo naman din yung comment mo, pero the original is always the best,

[aznhaylie]

now..i likie..lol

[shotparasikat]

mas ok ung ngaun kc mas rock tlga at mas handsome at prety ung ngaun hehe pag umngal kau txt nyo i2 my name is Nico 09212961724

[tubesfan101]

When the first version came out in 1991 it was really a sight to see.Of course "very clear" on TV and the song was a monster hit for Gino.The first scene was at a mall where they bump accidentally( Gino singing the first lines:hey there's a look in your eyes,must be love at first sight),then the soccer scene follows.Still remembered it vividly! Very nostalgic!

[lornarongavilla]

4 me parehong maganda sa first comercial andun yung kilig moment ,dun sa revive parang scripted na sa kanta sweet ang dating ni gino dun sa sponge cola may pgka rock ang dating...pero parehong ok.....hehehe

[kerengkish]

mas maganda pa rin ang luma coz nandon ung sweetness, its not kung sino ung nasa commercial, ang impt is how it was portrayed, mas maganda ung pag kakanta ni gino padilla tho, of course gerard and kim, ok na ok, but grabe ang pangit ng pagkanta ng spongecola, sinayang!

[jana3771]

i prefer the latest one...syempre modern na then para sa akin mas effective kung kilala ang nag endorse.

[Amoneth]

Mas ok ung kay GINO PADILLA, siya ang unang kumanta eh!

Tapos ung scene, nostalgic pa, sa may UP daw ung first scene.

[phatgeezer]

Mas OK ung latest ung luma kasi masyadong pixelated

[kerengkish]

mas type ko ung luma, mas sweet ang pagkakanta,

[battou66488]

korek~! ang ganda ng pagkagawa nito ni gino padilla, WINASAK NG TODO-TODO NG SPONGECOLA
