Just because he is a DEAN it doesn't mean he did a good job in this song and/or his errors are automatically forgiven! Clean your ears! Do you not hear the flats?

[silvertag2001]

hello i think you dont know who the guy he is "just" the DEAN OF MUSIC in "UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES" in Diliman. one thing have you heard him sing live not on video???? baka mabasag ang tenga nyo......GOOD JOB MONTET

[spintotenor1284]

Flats everywhere especially in the first song. The placement of high notes is dropped IMHO. The "inside smile" (raised cheekbones) might help in "lifting" the placement and making the sound forward. Waste the dropped jaw technique.
