VOICES of 5: NOT YOUR ORDINARY BOY BAND

    So Let's talk about being a fangirl this time. 

    Yeah! I consider myself as one because these guys were really amazing.

 I'm really not into going gigs and listening to boy band music not until I heard them harmoniously singing along Eton Centris. 


   These amazing guys serenades people strolling around the area and you'll probably be surprised on how they manage to draw people closer to them just by the use of their wonderful voices. 

    They are starting to break grounds in the music industry and their youtube videos were gaining countless viewers in just a couple of days.

      Name a song and they could probably sing it in a new and a much better version. Foreign countries have backstreet boys, westlife, one direction, boyz II men and other boy bands but Philippines has a lot more to offer, we have our very own VOICES of 5. 


  These guys deserve to be heard not only in the Philippines but might as well in other countries.

   I'd rather hear them sing rather than listen with the original version of some of their covers. 

  What makes them unique was their personality and passion towards their craft. 

  They were indeed blessed not only with a very wonderful talent but might as well with a big heart. 


     Voices of 5 have already released an album and these includes their own version of "Mahal Pa Rin Kita" by Rockstar and I must say that they have brought OPM back to life.



  Another video that have earned a lot of views and shares all throughout social media sites was their own version of  "Maybe This Time" inspired by Sarah Geronimo and Coco Martin's movie.



   And honestly, these guys deserve to have a big break, if I were to choose a band that would sing for a particular movie song, Voices of 5 would probably be the best choice.

   Moreover, Voices of 5 also has an original song dedicated to every Filipino especially those who were being affected by typhoons and going through a lot of struggle. 


   This is another reason for them to be admired, for they are not only singing because they were given the ability to sing but they are singing for a cause and for their fellow countrymen.



    Voices of 5 was honestly a complete package, they have these undeniable wonderful voices, amicable personalities and a plus factor of good looks and if they happen to do a flash mob in a public place, they will definitely gain a lot of audience and I am very sure that people will stop and take videos of these amazing guys. 




  The said boyband has their original compositions which is as good as their other covers and this original songs will surely gain listeners and stand out.

   Ever felt down and feels like drowning in a sea of problems and downfalls, well this song from Voices of 5 will surely captivate you not only with the rhyming phrases and lines but with their harmony and overall impact of the song. 


   Some says that there is a low probability for a good singer to be a good dancer too, but Voices of 5 are very much different. Aside from their undeniable talent in singing, these good looking guys were also good dancers. Watching them perform was like watching 5 shades of Gary Valenciano or 5 shades of Michael Jackson. 

    It is only in the Philippines where you can find this kind of singers which I consider as rolled into one performers. 







     And If you are in need of persons who would perform on your events or gatherings, my favorite singer (VOICES OF 5) will surely be worth it and if you just want to listen to a good music, you can visit them on their regular gigs around the Metro. 



Follow the amazing guys on facebook, instagram, twitter and youtube.

JUAN ALAMAT CHINITO VERSION



      This guy might be familiar to some and others might not know him at all but once you hear him sing, you will definitely search him over the net might as well all over the QC area. 

       He had covered a lot of songs which can be heard over soundcloud and youtube and honestly, those were the best versions and with due respect, better than the original. 

        Daryl Ong, joined Pinoy Pop Superstar wayback 2005 and his own version of Brian Mcknight's "Win" was also different from what is expected and regardless of the result, I know he had already won the heart of many through his singing prowess and sincere dedication to his craft. 




     There are some who call him John Legend Pinoy version "JUAN ALAMAT" because of his All of Me rendition and though the song became overrated just before he was able to make a cover and a music video, the song became new to the ears of many because of his different version and it's way better than the original. Thus, you would definitely love his curves and all his edges because of his perfect voice. I can even remember deleting John Legend's All of Me from my playlist and started downloading his version. 


    Just by listening to what he calls "his own music"/ "passion" , I can really say that he is singing not only for the sake of being able to sing something but he is indeed singing from the bottom of his heart. 

    Another recent version from this amazing guy was from the musical "Wicked" entitled "For Good" and I think I just broke the replay button because of this. Still, it was different from any other version and I must say  it was wonderfully different. 

   And I know every person who would be able to listen to this new cover will surely sing the same lyrics for him  "You'll be with me , like a handprint on my heart and now whatever way stories end, I know you have re-written mine"



     Ever heard of the Nestea Commercial with a background song of "Rude" originally sung by Magic? Our very own "Juan Alamat" also has his slow version of "Rude" and I doubt if there's anyone who would say No to Daryl Ong after hearing his good voice, I just know that the answer won't be "NO", No it's never gonna be a "NO". Aside from having a talent in singing, he is also gifted with a big and kind heart completed with a sincere soul and personality that radiates whenever he is around.


       How about those songs originally sung by Willie Revillame, the moment I heard Daryl Ong's cover of "Ikaw Na Nga" and "Yun Ka", I really did love those songs in a snap.
Any person who would hear him sing OPM such as these two songs from Mr. W. Revillame will be easily pleased and have his/her heart melted.


     Regardless of the writer or the nature of the song, it is very obvious that any song when interpreted by Daryl Ong, really becomes wonderfully amazing and suiting to the ears in an instant and through his quintessential and angelic voice, any words and lyrics suddenly comes to life. It is very rare for a certain singer to give life into a plain text that rhymes but with Daryl Ong, it is indeed effortless and full of passion.


If US has John Legend, Brian Mcknight, Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson, well Philippines has a rolled into one combination of those four artists and that is no other than Daryl Ong.


Aside from singing, he is also into composing songs and he had recently joined Philpop 2014 held last July and from the many song entries, his original composition entitled "Torpe" interpreted by Kris Lawrence made it on the 2nd spot.



Daryl Ong was now a contestant of  The Voice of the Philippines Season 2 under Coach Apl
During the Blind Audition he sung "Paano" by Gary V and he was able to make Coach Apl, Coach Sarah and Coach Lea turn for him and if I am one of them, I would definitely ask him, how many times would he want me to turn just to show my appreciation to his craft. This guy really deserves to be heard by many might as well share his God given talent all over the world for he does not only sing his music but he also inspires other people.


          Let's continue to SUPPORT this Amazing Chinito "Juan Alamat" every step of the way!
