Great performers . . . I would love to hear them redo this again, but this time have someone guide them in being a bit less dramatic in some of the "I'm showing of my voice now" parts in the second half. Also, the big line in this song is the second to last (someone tried to say it, and they nailed him to a cross) and that line should have been the climax of the tune, not the final line (its still the way it used to be).
i've heard both versions and I still prefer Regine and Martin's duet. I like Stevie Wonder but Charlene's voice seemed weak to me after hearing Regz version of this song.
Regine and Martin both have great vocals, but they seemed to have oversung this very beautiful song, in my opinion. Try to hear the original version by Stevie Wonder and Charlene and you'll feel the real meaning of the song.
I did listen to Stevie's and Charlene's version it's good but I prefer Regine and Martin's it has more spunk to it and Charlene's voice seems too weak after listening to Regine's ..Stevie is Stevie no one can replace him.
ganda yung version nila. yung orig (stevie wonder & charlene) syempre ang best, but theirs is BETTER! hindi ka lang magaling songbird...magaling na magaling sobra!
i never liked martin when performing. masyado magulo at magalaw. also i don't like his headtone and he hits the high notes. tapos sweaty at may earpiece..
an awesome song..martin was a bit off with his higher notes..i cant blame him, its stevie wonder.. regine, on the othr hand..was flawless and powerful.
Ikaw naman PinoyChampion,papaano di mahirapan si Martin ng pag-awit eh ang sikip-sikip ng suot niyang leather pants.Ayan tuloy naipit ang balls nya di tuloy makahinga ng maayos.Sino kaya designer? Nagmukhang sofa tuloy si Martin.Parang kurtina o table cloth yong shirt?
the sound feebback is one of the best ive ever heard on television...kudos to abscbn for the world-class presentation...worthy of these two phenomenal artists.
Charlene. The female singer on this song with Stevie Wonder was Charlene. She did this song with Stevie Wonder and she also had hit in 1982 with the song I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ME.
I love Martin & Regine, they're the best performers in the country! HOWEVER, their rendition of this wonderful song didn't do justice both for them & the composition. They should examine and listen to their rendition here!
why dont you guys try to watch their concerts LIVE!! Its really different listening here and making some comparisons,,shouting is different from extreme vocal powers mind you..
I agree that Martin's headtone sucks. Several of his songs even in major concert performances would prove this. Martin should work out on this. Nevertheless, he still has that good voice :)
good enough version, but not spectacular, and Regine mixed up the lyrics - "used to be the knight in shining armor, took the time to own a shiny car ..." arrgh!
i don't hav anything against these two. but we must admit, this is not a good version. martin had so many sharps and his head tone was bad here. regine's belting was an earsore and she was shouting at times. this is a good song so i listened, but it should be a heartfelt song and unfortunately, they didn't give justice to it.
