Only fans are competing. let the new generation shine coz Regine is already what she is now, a treasured Diva. During the 1980s, when voices are mostly strong and rich, she was the only Filipina who sang with a sweet voice but surprises with unbelievably super high crescendoes that set the standards to filipino singers and contestants to sing with their most powerful voice, and high notes.
She was the first filipina to win the Asia Pacific Song Festival, she was handpiced to be Kim in Miss Saigon by Cameron Macintosh without rigorous auditions unlike Lea who went through it( but her dad declined due to dome kissing scenes),she is the first filipino to have a concert in the prestigious Carnegie hall( Where famous international artists performed), she guested in the famous David letterman show,
She had a concert with Barbra Streisand's legendary composer the great Michel Legrand, and sang with different international icons like Mandy Moore, Brian cKnight, etc. did command performances for royalties like the Sultan of Brunei, and the only filipina at that time to enter the international market selling her own albums, that is why she was named Asia's Songbird,
she was also included in Wikipedia as one of the Sfogato Sopranos(highest in lyric sopranos) together with the legendary La divina of the opera Maria Callas, and so forth. She made a mark already even the time when technology is lacking, there was no You tube to get noticed, discrimination is high, unlike today when Asians are fast becoming famous in the international scene.
Questions : If Regine is really Great how come she's not famous all over the world?
Her time were the days without Oprah or Ellen. When caucasians and Afro american singers are the trend.She did help our music industry to be what it is now. And the new divas( and also other filipino dancers, etc) are truly lucky to be in our technology filled music/art scene today. Where becoming famous is not as tough as it was before.
and lastly Real Talent DOES NOT equate to POPULARITY
Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Rhiana and all other worst singers out there are Famous but do you think they can Match Regine's VOCAL PROWESS & Beautiful voice? NO!
Regine is the Best.
