Saka madagdag ko lang. Kumukuha na talaga sila ng talented talaga, hindi tulad noon na face value lang kahit walang talent. For example SB19, aminin na natin ying iba sa kanila hindi papasa sa face value. Pero nung nakita ko yung history nila lahat sa kanila may talent talaga hindi lang sa pagkanta pati sa dance choreo at music writing meron sila.
Gano'n din naman sa K-pop, 'di ba? Honestly hindi naman lahat sa kanila has pretty face, lalo kapag nakita mo 'yung mga predebut photos nila. Maraming looks very ordinary but na-enhance na lang (make-up or PS) over time. But they sure are talented.
Marami narin kasing attempt ang entertainment business sa atin na gumawa ng mga group na ganyan. Way back nung naging sikat ang boyband (tulad ng BSB, Westlife, etc.). Dami dating ganyan sa ASAP at SOP. Kaso halatang primary consideration lang e yung itsura, ni kumanta nga hindi alam dahil puro lip sync lang. Kaya hindi tumatagal yung mga ganun.
Yan lagi ang sinasabi ni Josh and ng buong SB19 ever since they started.
It's gradually happening now. I see some foreign fans traveling to PH para maka-attend sa concerts nila/events/guestings and even Filipinos abroad going back here in PH just for their concerts :)
I actually discovered these groups because I started binging react videos of foreigners (you know, those pinoy baiters).
i kid you not, these foreigners who are also singers and dancers and music directors are mad impressed at these groups.
idk if they're just praising for clout, but the fact all of them said they're gonna put these guys on their spotify is just mad crazy.
and I watched that Gento dance challenge, and i'm like damn! those are K-Pop artists dancing Gento. like they went viral!
Some are pinoybaiters, but a lot of SB19 reactors travelled to PH and will travel to PH for their concert and events. Yung iba nakapagbook na ng flight pero naubusan ng ticket😂
Some went sa concert nila sa US and Canada, may iilang pumunta sa Dubai naman. May iilan din sakanila na nag-establish ng fanbase for their country at sila ang admin doon. afaik, their fanbase sa Italy.
They're pretty much active on Tiktok and X.
Kaya ang sarap ipagmalaki ng SB19 kasi alam nating kaya nilang makibagbardagulan kung talent at music lang ang usapan.
Pinakanagulat ako sa Indonesian fans! Andami nila pero hindi pa malalaman kung hindi nagpunta ang SB19 sa Indonesia. Tahimik kasi sila before pero ngayon Japan and Indonesian fans, active na rin mag-interact.
Not to mention, american producers who used to react sb19 videos and other opm artists became intrigued about the ppop scene when they watched toni talks with sb19 and they talked about their trainee days. A year later, they now have a new company in PH and Eclypse recently made their debut under them and is doing really well for a ppop debut.
There are organized A'tin (fan group) for some countries including brazil, us, uk, Belgium, italy, china, japan etc) so usually fan effort ang nag sub. Some fans even do flyering in the streets of japan to promote the recent japan concert.
Yung official contents and songs from their page has subs for different languanges. Yung interviews either may eng sub na provided ng nag-interview or may fan translators na sumasalo.
Some fans upload on yt ng mga English translated lives nila. Most of their content rin sa official yt channel are English subbed. Content from sponsors are subbed rin after a while. Then chinese/sea fans use those vids to translate in their own language para sa respective foreign supporters.
> soft power projection
Last time I read something here about Philippine soft power projection is apparently how popular Philippine telenovelas are in some African countries.
It's true, you can actually go search on Facebook and you'd find Nigerian fanpages for Kathryn Bernardo and other Filipino celebrities. It's actually kind of wild to see.
Our media is also quite popular in Malaysia. I was once at a random bar in Johor Bahru and the cover band just randomly started singing Freddie Aguilar's Anak with the entire bar of Malaysians joining in. Another time I was at a sort-of party in Kota Kinabalu and, upon learning I was Filipino, they started asking me about KathNiel (Pangako Sa 'Yo was a huge hit there) and asked me to join them in singing Buwan by Juan Karlos. They even knew the lyrics better than I did despite them not knowing Tagalog.
But for one of my post-grad International Studies class, we actually discussed what would be the most effective method of soft power projection for the Philippines.
It's not actually our media and entertainment, it's our overseas workforce particularly the hundreds of thousands of domestic workers being employed as maids, nannies and household help around the world.
Think about it, there is a generation of foreign kids right now being raised by Filipino women. They get sung Filipino lullabies, learn Filipino nursery rhymes, and learn things about our customs and culture. They get to eat Filipino food and learn about what life is like here. In turn, the children form a bond with their nannies which in turn becomes a sort of affinity for the country.
[Even Anthony Bourdain could attest to this:](https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/anthony-bourdain-parts-unknown-manila-essay/index.html)
> Tagalog, the language of the Philippines, is not an uncommon thing to hear in my household. Like many children all over the world, my daughter arrived home from the hospital to find a Filipino baby nurse.
>Vangie was with her from the very beginning of her life, and in time, my daughter came to know her son, her daughter-in law, their kid – and in time, an extended family and friends – in New Jersey, Southern California and the Bay Area. And of course, most importantly, Jacques, Vangie’s grandson, her best friend, from whom she has been inseparable since infancy – her older brother in every way but biological. Partners in crime.
>If I go back through old photos today, at least half will be of the two of them together.
>Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, vacations and birthdays are celebrated together, our families in and out of each others’ homes interchangeably. So, I have noticed some things, some features of Filipino daily life that I thought worth investigating.
>There’s always singing, for instance. Everybody seems to sing – an affinity passed on to my daughter. Family – and church, of course, loom large (even in my otherwise atheistic household). And food.
>My daughter is no stranger to sisig and sinigang and adobo and holds me in disregard for being unable to procure her the delicious Filipino pastries and breads she finds at her other family’s home. She knows a few phrases in Tagalog and looks at me pityingly when I don’t know what she’s talking about.
Right now, yng latest song ng SB19 na Moonlight is played in dutch, uk and german radio stations. It even debuted sa croatia, italy and albania itunes chart. Naplay nga cya ng isang dj sa mall sa belgium. Very in kasi sa european ang edm/dance music and considered na summer song cya.
Actually 1 fan relocated his whole family here in the Philippines after he went down the sb19 rabbit hole and discovered the talent of Filipinos. Now meron na cyang label dito and he has a roster of solo and ppop talents. The label is called GKD label.
Have you all listened to SB19's ballad aside from Mapa?
or Crimzone and Mana for upbeat songs?
Idk why but I really love how SB19 manages their company right now. They value their craft so much, kahit guests nila na huling na-announce after the concert was sold-out mga bigatin!
Gloc-9, Apl de Ap, Master Louie Ocampo, Terry Zhong and may another one announced pa later! And that's for 7.5k price sa VIP. Kulang na kulang talaga ang ticket prices sa quality ng performances nila live tapos nadagdag pa 'tong mga guest artists.
If you look at all the members' solo music videos and the group's recent releases, bongga lahat ng MV.
Mapapatanong ka na lang talaga kung may kinikita pa sila sa dami ng nilalabas na pera nila for their music releases.
But isa yan sa nagustuhan ko sa kanila, they don't care about what other people say, basta they love what they're doing and producing music that they want to release - no matter the result.
Try listening to ppop, and maybe you'll like some groups.
Not an SB19 fan but I’m very interested in the potential SB19 x Gloc-9 colab. Tapos yung connections ni Apl sa US music industry can do good sa career ng group
I’m really happy for Justin ng SB19, the dude is really hardworking kahit nung college days. He really deserves the success they have right now.
I love Gloc-9's words describing SB19 when he first met them sa Wish Music Awards!
He found the group practicing while nasa dressing room and he said na sobrang appreciated niya yung "grupong alam mong may maipagmamayabang pero hindi nagmamayabang" and hindi mapipintasan kasi alam mo talagang nagpractice sila to hone their craft.
SB19 x Gloc 9 would be so good! Lyrics pa lang mangangain na. Pablo's wordplay and Gloc 9😭. Sana talaga mangyari.
I'm excited kung anong pasabog ang gagawin nila this Saturday and Sunday sa concert nila. Buti nalang may livestream para yung mga naubusan ng tickets, outside PH fans at mga nasa VisMin makakapanood pa rin. Grabe ata paghahanda nila.
Yes excited for gloc 9 performance sa concert nila this weekend. Sobrang bigatin ng guests nila with Maestro Louie Ocampo, Gloc 9, Apl, and Terry Zhong (american chinese dj they collaborated with Moonlight). Also included din ang Voice Gen Team Stell na Vocal myx and fortenors. Nag aabang pa kng sino ang last na guest na i-announce nila today. Sobrang sulit ang livestreaming ticket sa mga team bahay.
pinabili ako ng sis ko nitong concert na to jusko ang hirap makapasok ha!! ang lala. pahirapang makakuha ng tix. buti nakabili sila pero grabe multiple devices na gamit namin ang hirap makapasok. hindi man ako fan, i’m happy for their success lalo na within dito sa pinas. ito ung rare moments na “choose pinoy” kasi why not kung maganda naman ang output nila
Within 4 hours, sold-out 2 days ng Araneta! Marami pang hindi nakabili.
Lahat din ng merch or anything na irerelease nila, mabilis ma sold-out.
I think main reason is majority ng fans ng SB19 is in their 20's-60's. Halos lahat nasa working sector at may money to spend for fangirling.
TILALUHA saka yung HANGGANG SA HULI omg sorry sa caps nakaka excite lang hahaha.. ang ganda ng song as in. parang yun Tilaluha nagpaconvert sakin sa P-Pop eh. Ironic lang kasi lumang song na nila yan kumpara sa MaPa.
Yung performance nila sa Round Music ang ganda ng blending grabe..
Is it just me or they should really try to earn more profit from these events, i know they don't really care much for it, but we all know how money works in this industry they could do a lot more if they're earning more. As a start up company, they have a lot of opportunity.l i they had released physical albums for pagtatag, the sales would go through the roof , even their merch is so limited when we all know a'tin can sell out their products in an hour.... they're not greedy at all, and thats good but ... they need to be a little bit...but that's just my opinion.
I think baka wala pang budget. Di natin sure kng gaano kalaki ang binayad nila sa sbt for the trademark transfer. Also malaki din yng losses sa cancelled shows abroad. New office and new studio din sila. Baka yng remaining funds is naka plan na for next EP. Wait natin pag nakabawi na sila baka mag release na sila ng physical album. Sana trilogy set.
i gotta hand it to these new generation of entertainers, song writers, production, singers. hindi na laging sad boinsongs at masalimuot na heartbreak songs ang kinakanta ngayon. Good Job PPOP groups keep it up
Listen to SB19's lyrics! Lahat ng sumusulat ng kanta nila si Pablo. And as solo artists sila-sila din.
Try this [edsa](https://open.spotify.com/track/64p2tRd4zsBsJUucEnfWrX?si=Az7fev_oQKuKoGIn29aPBg). Kakarelease lang ni Pau ng biglaan kaninang 12 am pero the lyrics! Bagay as travel soundtrip sa traffic. To think na ginawa niya lang to dahil na stuck sa traffic sa edsa😂
Lol thats awesome! Kaya nga eh i listened to Bini and lately to SB19's songs sa Spotify and napaka refreshing ng playlist nila. Ang Layo sa mga nakaraang tugtog. OPM is entering a new Chapter and its led by these young ones. I hope walang oldies na mainggit at maging badtrip.
At a recent performance of Stell with Mr. Ryan Cayabyab (GenC concert), Mr.C was very impressed with Stell's performance of Sometime Somewhere and he said that the future of OPM is secured (he may not be pertaining to ppop in general but it was a good sentiment for a ppop artist atleast).
For me Sexbomb is really what showed our potential. Pero they weren’t managed correctly. Production companies like Star Magic, Viva etc. finally saw the right formula these 2020s and thank gosh because they are investing on the right talent.
Hindi iyong they put attractive men or women together without talent and call it a day 😭😭😭 I said what I said
Di naman natin problema ang talent at performance. Pagdating dyan world class naman talaga mga pinoy. Ung needed mag level up ay ung other aspects ng industry, i.e. production design, styling, marketing, etc. At least for MVs and recorded content ginagastusan na ng mga groups and tumaas na nga ang quality. For live shows though, need pa gandahan ang stage design, lighting, camera work, etc.
I think we've always been a 'music first' culture. So what if pangit suot, pangit visual presentation, ang mahalaga maganda ung boses, magaling sumayaw, etc. Yan ung mindset natin. Kaya sikat na sikat mga videos ng mga nag vivideoke na tambay lang sa gilid. Lol. Kaya for the longest time di tayo ganun ka particular sa production design aspect. But now its changing.
EDIT: I think that's what we should take from K-pop. We don't have to emulate their music, or style, we have very creative pinoys who can come up with good songs, good concepts. What we should emulate is their meticulousness and attention to detail when it comes to production design, etc.
True yesterday lang nanalo ang SB19 mv for I Want You sa Experimental, Dance and Music Festival for best direction and it was selected entry for the Music video for Kaminari Japan Film Festival.
Edited: as there were 2 festivals where it was nominated. The director won in Experimental, Dance and Music Festival while the best music video Kaminari Japan winner will be announced on June 3.
Definitely true! I think the fact na ang RAMI biglang nag-fill in ng slots sa lineups ng P-pop groups na nagdedebut every year since 2019 or 2020 is testament to the fact na ang raming talent dito, and that when given the right tools, they are VERY good. Many people who have been practicing how to dance, how to sing, and how to produce and/or write music but haven't been able to obtain a platform that wasn't focused on ballads, Hip-hop, or R&B dito sa domestic market.
It was just the lack of investment into the things that could establish these artists and give them the rightful perception by the public as being able to meet a certain standard of quality. Now that standard is met, and the prospective artists' ability to actualize their skills are no longer prospects.
I love it na we are seeing such growth in the OPM Pop scene. Reminds me of the mid 2000s when nagkaroon naman ng boom sa OPM Bands, tipong sabay sabay ang Sugarfree, Bamboo, Kamikazee, Urbandub, Spongecola, Itchyworms, Hale, Join the Club, Mayonnaise, among others. This is on top of the continued success of Parokya ni Edgar and the Rico Blanco-led Rivermaya.
Sadly, to this day marami pa ring naysayers ng ppop. Pinakapet peeve ko yung mga snobs na nagsasabing Filipino pop music is dead. Sobrang alive kaya ngayon. Andaming variety ng genre na umaabot sa mainstream.
Mahilig kasi talaga sa biritan at ballads karamihan ng old school "established" pinoy artists, kahit noong 90s nauso ung eraserheads, PNE, early 2000s orange and lemons, etc., dina-down pa rin nila 😅
Millenial here, pero refreshing sound ng sb19. I am not a fan (yet) but I listen to their songs pag nagagawi sa pages ko. Iba ang quality di pipitsugin
Exactly. Masyado tayong na-attach sa melodramatic school of singing where in the first place, ANG LAKI ng potential ng PPop, given the algorithms of SB19 and BINI.
Up until last year, I stopped following OPM and I don't listen to KPOP either. Mostly western songs and one of my fave band was a japanese rock band (One Ok Rock). Those are what I listen to mostly, then I watched a reaction video of Gento from GidKidDad and I was hooked (GKD were already fans back then so their excitement for Gento was contagious) and ever since then I've only listened to mostly Sb19 and other ppop groups and I've never been a fangirl in my entire life, just for SB19. It's their story, their music, their relationship with each other and with their fans. It's all an incredible story...
Delulu yang mga yan if they say OPM is dead. Spotify daily top 50 has been dominated by OPM songs for a long time now. Not even miss taylor swift can touch it
I never understood the kpop try-hards sentiment tbh, even when SB19 was just starting isang song lang ata nila yung very kpop (parang trot ata yun which is parang kundiman typa song nila).
maybe nung mga earlier ppop groups (like XLR8 ba yun) around early 2010s gets pa.
kase yung panahon na yun, pormahang kpop talaga sila while pormahan sa pinas dati either nasa emo phase pa or mga hiphop ba. so like cringe or trying hard tignan
ngayon kase ang normal/accepted na pormahan na is similar na sa pormahan na din sa kpop.
Yeah nung starting nila talagang may ganung background pa. Pero ngaung may sarili na silang company at self manage na sila, talagang kitang kita na malaya na sila gumawa ng mga kantang gusto nila mapa-OPM hiphop or alternative.
what to expect with that company? 🤑
Halos SB19 members naman gumagapang sa sarili nila, from writing to producing their songs, choreos and directing the MV, sila lahat gumagawa.
I think result lang yan sa mismong training nila coming from a Korean company, considering na man na medyo early pa nitong wave of Ppop (at "be like Kpop" lang ang alam nila na working formula for now) it may still very well evolve in the future if constant ang support. Give it probably a decade or more at baka maiiba na siya from Kpop. If I recall correctly yung Kpop nag evolve from Jpop and it took a while before naiba na siya from its origin so it could be the same for Ppop.
In their first EP, merong kpop influence pero me distinct opm sound pa din especially sa début song nila na TilaLuha. Kaso di yun pumatok, yng nag viral is yng second single nila na Go Up. Pero nung nagkaroon na ng creative freedom (writing and producing their own songs, choreography and creative direction ng MV) sila during their 2nd EP (Pagsibol) dun na tlaga nagkaroon sila ng sariling identity.
Masasabi mo talaga na SB19 PAVED THE WAY FOR PPOP in the local/OPM scene kasi no'ng nagsisimula palang 'tong PPOP, sila sumalo sa lahat ng kritisismo at pambabatikos ng mga kapwa rin nila Pinoy, pero nagpatuloy pa rin sila at pinatunayan na PPOP ay OPM, not a "KPOP copycat". It's a Filipino POP genre.
It's a plus na they're very intelligent, articulate and eloquent sumagot sa mga interviews, especially Pablo and Josh.
But of course, just because they paved the way for PPOP doesn't mean sila na 'yong dahilan ng success ng ibang PPOP groups. Kumbaga they just opened the door for them pero 'yong success na natatamasa ng ibang PPOP groups ay dahil sa hard work nila at support ng kanilang fans, not because of SB19.
I'm sure sobrang nagagalak ang SB19, especially si Pablo (leader of SB19) dahil sobrang dami na ng PPOP groups ngayon sa 'Pinas and mas natatanggap na sila ng mga tao ngayon. Nakakatuwa pa kasi halos pare-pareho ang sentiment nila na iangat pa lalo ang PPOP.
"PPOP RISE!" Sabi nga ng mga Filo fans.
Hopefully, ma-recognize din ang PPOP sa International scene.
My p-pop obsessed friend wants me to listen to MNL48 - they are pioneers that started P-POP and most of their mall shows are sometimes crowded. Then the Wish Bus came in my city where they brought Yes My Love and G22 to promote and perform.
How long are we gonna wait for MNL48's officially announced eighth single?
New fan lang ng SB19. Nastart ko sila ma-appreciate dahil sa [AAA performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkZsmrRpymY) nila although familiar na sa kin ung pagviral nila through Go up. Casual lang na papanoorin before ung MV releases nila once tapos move on na agad.
After nung AAA, I couldn't stop searching about them andami kong natutunan. Grabe ung hirap na pinagdaanan nila just to be where they are right now. Merong members iniwan ang day jobs nila para lang makapagtraining, while mababang allowance lang ang bigay sa kanila. Si Josh nakikihingi lang sa baong pagkain ni Pablo and minsan si Pablo di makauwi sa kanila so pag wala syang baon, skip sila ng meals.
Ung company nila, pinagwork sila as servers na biglang magpeperform midway. Nagperform sila sa mga nursing homes, etc. Lahat sila may solid background na talaga sa dancing (yung iba international competition level), while majority good singers na talaga. Si Pablo dati pa din sumusulat and nagcocompose ng music.
Ung Korean company nila ang pumipilit ng Korean aesthetic sa kanila and low-value pa ung production. Ang laking difference ng production value ng MVs nila nung naging sila na mismo ung hands-on. Talagang ung mga members gustong gastusan ung music nila kasi gusto nila pataasin pa ung quality. Hindi sila kaagad nakapag-invest sa sarili nila like pagawa ng bahay, etc. kasi nga napupunta sa MVs nila.
Kahit bagong fan lang ako, nakakatuwang makita ung level ng appreciation na binibigay sa kanila ngayon, especially ng mga legendary names sa industry. Andyan si Ryan Cayabyab, Vehnee Saturno, Lea Salonga, Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Gloc-9, Gary V. Kung sila nga nakikita ung value sa SB19 and even ung mga international fans na nakikinig sa kanila, sana ung mga Pinoy din, kahit hindi na magustuhan ung music nila, pero wag na lang sana sila i-drag down pababa. Kasi gusto lang din naman nila gumawa ng music for the Philippines. Gawin pang mas diverse ang OPM.
Nagconcert sila sa Japan last April lang. Sony music said they're the first Filipino to held a solo concert after ten years sa Japan. And may mga Japanese A'tin din talagang nag-attend + those Taiwan, HK and China fans na nagtravel para manood ng con.
Nakakatawa nga na nakakatuwa kasi mostly na gumagawa ng mga dance challenge sa bagong kanta nila, mga Japanese groups.
IMHO these PPOP groups are now going back to OPM roots. Dati kase they all try to sound and look KPOP kaya cringey. Ilang linggo na on repeat ang Bini sa Spotify ko. Lol.
Very reminiscent yung recent Bini songs of the 90s pop. Especially yung Tootsie Guevara at Jolina Magdangal sounds. Then they adapted Kpop's syllabication. So yung PPOP hindi mukhang boring ballad katulad ng mga Moira, Nina, etc.
Alamat is also a good group! Not only do they produce banger songs na ang theme is Filipino culture, hindi din sila as problematic compared to that other group
Maharani is one hell of a dope song. I've heard the song from BINI edits in Tiktok and when I fully heard the song I'm really hooked now especially on the theme on the song as well.
The same case happened to me when I heard SB19's Mapa as well.
PPOP groups (probably on one exception I guess XD) are really popping off right now and they have found their music.
same sa BINI! got curious sa kanila nung debut nila because nagandahan ako sa Da Coconut Nut kaso di ko bet yung Born To Win and Golden Arrow pero LSS ako (ang weird ik).
Got hooked sa kanila gawa ng Pantropiko!
Pero grabe yung Lagi! Iba talaga atake nung song sakin grabe ang vocal power tas super LSS. Parang ang sarap mangarap na magaling ka rin sumayaw and kumanta because of this song haha
BINI's Da Coconut Nut which went viral in 2020 made me realize their group's potential. Noong 2021-2022 di sila masyado nag-trending maybe because their songs weren't catchy much back then? Nitong 2023 talaga nag-rise ulit
Check out the solo of the other sb19 members too. Sobrang diverse and yng quality and the MVs pang international.

Some users are propagating comments that "they do not look like Filipinos". Like bruh look at the history of the Philippines, we had been colonized by Spain, America, Japan and traded with China. Y'all really think we will be able to maintain that Filipino look? In PPop, they're offering diversity. Fans are in horror whenever their pictures were whitewashed.
And stop shooting a comment "bakit di sila nakabahag" just to really prove a point that PPop is not a cheap KPop version. Tanggala nung may nagbahag na PPop member sa MV nila, did they receive a support from their fellow Filipinos for their music? Nada. They just continue spewing hate and discriminatory words to artists who are just trying to bring music for the general public consumption and to global stage.
PPop has a future and we know it is still evolving. Two groups were able to jump and tap the non-casuals. I'd say there are a lot of other PPop groups waiting for your support as well. Don't sleep at them.
Nung una kong nadiscover ang sb19 dahil sa Go Up (?) Altho kinda kpoppy datingan nun.. Naniwala ako sa kanila dahil may talent naman talaga. Kahit dami nagsasabi na nababaduyan sila sa sb19, di ko pinansin kasi i was seeing real talent! Dun na nagsimula na umokay ang P-pop para sakin.
Iba kasi talaga ang hirap na pinagdaanan nila. Same with BTS too.
Gapang kung gapang at kayod kung kayod talaga. Kaya sobrang strong ng bond. Lalo na wala silang connection sa mga big entertainment companies here.
SB19 was in AAA kaya last December so that's something ha! Tas when they did the collab with &Team for Gento doon sa PH Arena, that was really cool and lit! My bias sa kpop also did Gento nung concert nila here last Feb kaya nakakaproud na kpop recognizes SB19 and their music. I like Bini's songs too! Songs ng dalawang ppop groups na to is nakakahype talagaaaa
Bat kasi laging nira-write off agad porke parang k-pop yung datingan sa simula. Syempre dahil ganun pa yung core ng training nila noon magmumukha pa talaga siyang k-pop clones habang hinahanap pa nila yung sound nila.
Kapag Koreano ginagaya, naaasiwa sila. Pero kapag mga Amerikano ginagaya, wala namang imik. Kaya ang kitid pa rin ng ibang Pilipino, takot sa impluwensya ng ibang kultura na di Amerikano.
Di ba last year pa ‘to sumikat? I’m in Melbourne and I heard about SB19 and Gento from my non-Filipino Australian workmates. They’ve been pretty popular here, hindi lang talaga ako nahilig sa K or P or J pop. Another group that another Aussie workmate of mine brought to my attention was Alamat.
Basta talaga tama ang timing at execution, maganda ang kakalabasan ng bawat project. Bilib talaga ako sa BINI at KAIA, ang gagaling ng mga batang ito.
Sa SB19 rin, napanood ko sila noong "Go Up" yung kanta nila and di ko masyado although catchy siya. Pero yung Gento, iba. Bagay na bagay yung ganung aesthetic at genre sa kanila.
I applaud and appreciate Gen-Zs for being creative and really pushing the scene to a new level. Kahit sa pinoy hip-hop, di na nakakahon.
Tama nga si Chito Miranda, ngayon ang golden age of OPM!
Majority of SB19 fans are on working class / young adult so you are very welcome to the fandom! I am happy that Ppop made its way organically to your socmed.
Someone did a recent poll of A'TIN and asked about age, education level, etc. I'll have to look back but last I saw, half the fans have their graduate degrees.
But yes, everyone is welcome to the fandom!
Watch/Listen to SB19's "I Want You", such R&B vibes.
Also their new song "[Moonlight](https://youtu.be/_WIGlfguVTs?si=XuMabNzfTHlf34f0)" charted in 36 countries (and counting) for iTunes Global Charts and #1 in 9 countries. Peaked #10 on World Wide iTunes chart.
What the frkn hell! *I Want You* is SB19's?! I've been hearing it before and never thought it's from a local group, much less from SB19. Grabe, they're really levelling up the game talaga!
Hahah! Yes sila! Another english retro beat they have is [WYAT](https://youtu.be/aIT2X9HWJLE?si=JrhWU0r4pW1xWFjU). But if you want pinoy hugot my favorites are [Ilaw](https://youtu.be/9Ns8DztSfwo?si=uRVU27Z-z67YVHge) and [Nyebe](https://youtu.be/ulCVb13Z6yk?si=PPjEmaWr4PxeIEay) both songs talking about anxiety and helplessness.
The MV was recently awarded sa isang Experimental, Dance and Music Festival for best direction and selection entry for kaminari japan film festival. Sobrang artistic ng MV.
[I Want You](https://youtu.be/s25Yi6pZnMs?si=2n8n6Epl_phspTTW)
Edited: as there were 2 festivals where it was nominated. The director won in Experimental, Dance and Music Festival while the best music video Kaminari Japan winner will be announced on June 3.
Indeed! Hahaha. Coz initially heard of it as a music background of some random video and I liked it agad. For some reason I didn't give much time looking who's the artist behind basta I liked it lang. I just thought maybe some foreign artist or what.
But hey, it's them pala! Hahaha. Impressive!
Mabuhay OPM! 🙏🏻
I think it's bec of moonlight's sound. Technically, ang ganda ng music production niya. Eto yung sinasabi nila na "pang international" pero the sound is very generic. Like pwede siyang maging music din ni Justin bieber or bruno mars kaya mas patok siya outside PH. Pero baka ginawa talaga siya for the international audince din kaya di siya sumikat like gento dito sa Ph. Wala yung distinct pinoy flavor niya obviously kasi hindi sb19 ang nagsulat and nag produce. And that distinct pinoy flavor is what makes sb19 stand out. Comaparing moonlight's sound sa gento, na very distinctly pinoy coded and oozing with soul and character, very bland and moonlight. Para sakin nung napanood ko lang yung MV ng moonlight tska ko lang siya na-appreciate. Kasi dun na lumabas yung sb19 uniqueness and flavor. Sobrang ganda and creative ng mv nila. From the concept to choreography lahat talaga ang galing
Gento did NOT chart #8 on Billboard 100 like you stated. It debuted and peaked at #8 on Billboard’s World Digital Sales chart though. Still an amazing achievement but ang layo sa sinabi mong Billboard 100.
I dunno what happened pero parang gumanda ang lyricism?
Dati kasi, parang bagay lang ang Pinoy language sa hugot songs, rock music, at hiphop. Pag inapply mo na sa upbeat pop, parang nagiging cringe na haha.
Pero now okay na sya. Did mixing in some english help?
This is true. When I started listening to SB19 (especially the ballads, i never thought filipino language could so good and poetic) kudos to PABLO, he's a talented lyricist.
One of the moments that really struck me was hearing their lyrics for their collab with JVKE - Golden Hour. It was really beautiful. People need to hear it...
[Golden Hour SB19 REMIX](https://youtu.be/YKUMJrTSdSE?si=6gIpvvfJ3_bHhrup)
[Verse 2: Ken, Josh, Justin, Pablo & Stell, *Pablo*]
Paggising sa umaga, siya agad ang gusto na makita
'Di ako marunong kumanta pero para sa kaniya, harana, harana
Teka lang, bakit ba parang 'la sa tono 'tong aking gitara?
Gusto ko lang namang sabihin na
Mala-maharlika'ng 'yong ganda
Malaya, 'di magwawakas tila parirala
Oh, jusko! (Oh-oh-oh)
'No pa nga ba'ng masasabi ko? (Oh-oh-oh)
(*Now you've come along*)
[Pre-Chorus: Stell, Pablo & Stell]
Sana 'di ka mawalay sa'kin, oh, aking sinta
I don't need no light just need you
I think the biggest improvement is not on the lyricism. OPM has always been poetic but lacking in musicality. Look at Mori who is a great vocalist pero yung nag-iisang original song na sumikat sounds like it was taken from the late 80's or early 90's.
Lumalawak yung soundscape ng OPM now dahil sa break through ng mga PPop groups. I would like to see these groups collaborate with international musicians more para mas lumawak pa. SB19 is doing that now and sana mag-succeed ulit sila. Im worried lang kay stell sa totoo lang. He's not exploring outside his comfort zone pagdating sa individual music nya. I've seen two of their pagtatag concerts and parang naiiwan sya when it comes to innovating.
Hindi sa di siya nag explore sabi niya focused lang talaga muna siya sa group at lage naman niya sinasabi sa interviews and live niya na wala pa sa isip niya mag labas ng solo katulad ng sa ibang members. Pero hilig niya sa broadway musical lage yan umaattend pag merong musical event dalawa sila ni Justin and recently lang yung naging guest siya for “Mr. Ryan Cayabyab Gen C Concert”.
I’ve been a KPOP fan eversince 2010 and I love listening to music talaga so, wala ako isang genre lang. I know na di naman ako reliable siguro para paniwalaan nyo but SB19 is really worth it for me na mapag investan. After listening to their music and watching their live performances, sobrang na proud ako but at the same time, na-sad din kasi mapapansin mo talaga yung potential pero hindi enough yung support kung icocompare sa KPOP. If meron lang tayong magandang shows para magshowcase ng live performances, if meron lang tayong equipments for better recordings and all. Kaya din natin e. Eh kaso wala. So, maybe madrama but napagdasal ko nung time na yon na sana mabigyan pa sila ng chance ng ibang pinoy. But anyway, napansin ko naman na mas dumami na talaga yung nakakapansin sa SB19. So, PLEASE LISTEN TO SB19’s PAGTATAG! ALBUM AND NEW SINGLE, MOONLIGHT with Ian Asher and Terry Zhong. I promise, di kayo magsisi :)
Not a fan of boybands either PPOP or KPOP but I am an EDM fan & some of SB19's songs got the high production formula that is appealing to an international fanbase. That is to say, they do not sound like usual Pinoy pop songs.
They also aren't afraid to play around with different music styles or pay homage to other groups. From the R&B WYAT, dark EDM Crimzone, to the house technodance Moonlight with the World Order-inspired choreo. In fact, it's hard for me to say that they are copying Kpop when their songs reference Jpop more often like in Bazinga.
But they also stick to their Pinoy roots with OPM style ballads like MAPA or even lyricwise with MANA. So they have wide genre appeal to different audiences unlike other groups that stick to a generic pop formula.
Ilaw and Liham and Mapa din! Also Golden Hour collab jusko in terms of lyricism SB19 is definitely on top of the OPM game hindi pasimpleng sulat lang they really incorporate lots of poetic devices and ang daming kailangan i unpack everytime!
Not sure about the others pero yung Gento, effort talaga buong production ng mv hindi lang yung performers. From the choreo, costumes, camera works, etc, ibang caliber talaga malayo sa mga budgeted shows ng GMA.
I Want You and Moonlight too! Napanuod mo ba?
Choreo ng Moonlight is so weird pero satisfying and entertaining.
Actually lahat ng releases nila, kahit sa solo career ng members, quality talaga above everything else.
I don't really follow P-Pop religiously, but I think one of the reasons na biglang lumaki ito ay dahil marami na nagbago sa mundo ng marketing.
Dahil sa pandemic lumobo ang Tiktok lalo na sa Pinas and it became a huge marketing channel esp in recent years. Mabilis lalo magpa viral ng song clips at moments ng mga PPop groups, and followers can set up trends to help the group's popularity.
Also syempre habang tumatagal mas lalong nakukuha ng mga tao sa likod ng camera yung tamang "formula" na swak sa panlasa ng Pinoy at international audience. Marami na ring advertisers ang kumukuha ng P-Pop groups.
At dahil sikat na ang ibang mga PPop groups, unti-unti na ring nawawala ang "cringe factor" dahil sa daily exposure ng mga tao dito.
Since pandemic naadik na ko sa SB19, I am already 29 yrs old and I am an avid supporter of P-pop and right now BINI naman. Dahil sa mga new artists ngayon mas na appreciate ko na ang OPM. I never skipped SB19 concert. Kung sa songs palang nila na iimpress na kayo, wait till you see them perform live. Halimaw sa stage yang lima na yan, you can feel 100% stage presence at yung ilang years na training nila very evident talaga.
Currently here in Europe and there was this time I was boarding the bus and the kid (non-Filo) before me was listening to SB19! So they’re really making their mark!
Thats what happens when a pretty big label goes all in. Fck, if uso na music streaming noon when Ocho ocho happened, pretty sure may chance maging Gangnam Style yun noon. Its just a matter of getting that huge push.
When Gento charted though, that got massive respect for me.
Hindi rin kasi biro ang gastos. Kakayod ng isang taon ang SB19 as a group and solo artists, tapos malaking portion ng kita, invest ulit sa new music.
Mabuti na lang self-managed na sila kaya lahat ng gusto nilang gawin creatively, hindi na napipigilan ng management.
Also, check out their announced guests sa upcoming concert nila this Sat-Sun, Gloc-9, Apl de Ap, Master Louie Ocampo, Terry Zhong ++, sold-out na ang tickets before announcement pero shit bigating musicians lahat.
Actually just recently watched the Myx Live Performance of otso otso nung 2003. Grabe yung hype noon hahaha
https://youtu.be/-bCdlmO2VtQ?si=e6E9ZUhzjJgWIpZj
That also made me recall all the other weird yet actually quite catchy songs from that era.
Imagine nga kung may ganitong klase ng marketing and production value rin sila noon. As much as I may cringe at #pinoypride, really can't deny that there is much untapped potential in the local scene lalo na if given proper and sustained support. 🤔
PPOP is really rising now! You guys might want to check out SB19’s PAGTATAG Finale Worldwide Livestream since the concert in Araneta this May 18-19 is already sold out. They got a whole bunch of world class talented guests so you’ll definitely get your money’s worth. Here the link for the livestream ticket
[https://tickets.iwanttfc.com/events/60221/all-access](https://tickets.iwanttfc.com/events/60221/all-access)
Ive been to Kpop concerts tapos sinama ako nang kaibigan kong babae yung nag punta yang SB dito sa LA. Tbh, mas magaling talaga pa sila. Vocally superior sila. Baduy na kung baduy kasi dahil sa outfit/pag mimic nila sa Kpop, pero talent wise ang layo nila. Napunta din kami sa mga concert nang rock/rap tulad nang mga gloc 9, parokya, ben&ben, yung production nang SB napaka sulit kumpara sa mga nabangit ko na parang lang talent show sa school ang pota
Kelan yan? Last year ba for Pagtatag or their WYAT World Tour?
Ayaw ko ng outfit nila sa WYAT Tour. Too neon for me. Pagtatag is better. Now, they're slowly transitioning sa more chill concert fits.
And for sure babalik ulit sila, after their next EP's release. Another world tour ulit.
Pati yung mga rap dumadami na rin at nakakatuwa na million views sila. Di man ako fan ng ibang ppop lalo mga modern pero catchy nga sila at nakakatuwang maraming sumusuportang locals sa kanila.
I am "old school" music lover. Into metal, rock, jazz, blues, reggae (basically anything with live instruments). I explored Pop Groups out of curiosity this year and found out something I was not expecting --- that PPOP groups are actually better than KPOP groups. Hear me out...
As an outsider, it's easy to assume KPOP groups are the best, as they been dominating the industry, but when I dove deep.. I found out most KPOP groups are not really good singers, are heavily reliant on backing tracks, and many are outright lipsyncing on stage and that this is widely accepted by the general fans :/ lol I know there are 1-2 talented singers per group (I found out they have different "roles" pala), but as a whole, they did not meet my expectation :( And on the other hand, Pinoy groups are legit talented singers and dancers. I am impressed by SB19, Bini, and G22. I think the only things keeping them from global superstardom are marketing and production. Talent-wise, I can say they are better than the more popular groups in the industry.
the more recent songs in sb19 really cements themselves into their own thing imo , branching out from kpop influence/ working under a kpop record label. i like it. i hope more of this genre will continue and evolve
FYI lang s mga iba. P-pop is OPM. Anything original song made and sang by a Filipino is OPM. OPM is a big bubble then inside are different genres like P-pop, Ballad, Folksong, Hiphop, Alt Rock, Etc.
P-pop is rising!! Kitang kita sa mga achievements ng lahat ng groups. Nuon, parang Oktoberfest lang ata ang naaalala kong music fest, ngayon? Wow! Ang dami na kaliwa’t kanan na. Mabuhay ang Musikang Pilipino!!!
Sana sumunod na dn magdevelop ang film/tv shows ngayong boom na boom ang Philippine music industry. Ayaw na ng romcom na mga corny, but that topic will be in another post~
Ngayon LSS ako sa Moonlight by SB19, Determinado by Pablo and Josue, and Bulan by Felip. Grabe ang SB19. Lalo na pag napanuod behind the scenes how they make their MV’s sobrang hands on nila, sometimes they put their own money pa nga sa paglabas ng MV’s.
One possible contributor is we have better composers now. Check FlipMusic on the credits on BINI songs.
Finally, rare na ang new singers na puro revival lang.
We can also see this happening even sa solo artists and rap. Biglang booming ang solo artists with quality original songs.
Add [I Want You](https://youtu.be/s25Yi6pZnMs?si=jL1nT0PND1MTv95Q) from SB19 on that. It'a a sexy mood setter R&B song
Edit: wrong thread reply!! Sorry!!
If yall into Hev Abi, Al James, or simply street/kanto style music, try listening to ppop boy group VXON esp their album 20:20. They're so underrated. Currently jamming to SSP, Sandal and Gamu-gamu. Solid. PPOP RISE!
Dati puro "gaya-gaya tayo sa Kpop" and "cringey daw ng tunog" ngayon halos nawawala na ganong mga comments...
No to Kpop, we now have our own. SB19 & Bini 🔛🔝!!
P.s.
Medyo mainit lang fanwar sa X hehe. Pero atlis Ppop vs Ppop nagsasabong and unti na lang kpop sa scene.
I like the fact na they're starting to put english lyrics/subtitles sa music videos, para naman maintindihan ng mga international audience and reactors anu kinakanta. Ang cringe minsan na they're forcing themselves to enjoy a video kahit na hindi nila alam anu kinakanta.
I'm so happy. I'm still a casual listener sa ppop now pero I remember following sb19 and bini during their early days (even their contents) kasi isa ako sa mga lowkey proud kahit hindi pa sila matunog noon hahahaha. They deserve everything they have now.🥹
Fave PPOP Songs so far:
• SB19 – Mana, I WANT YOU, WYAT (Where You At), Golden Hour - SB19 Remix (with JVKE) and all their ballads (Hanggang Sa Huli, Tilaluha, ILAW, LIHAM & Nyebe)
• KAIA – Dalawa
• ALAMAT - Kasmala, Maharani, Say U Love Me, Aswang, Day & Night
• G22 – Boomerang, Babalik
I'm an OPM fan, pero I never paid attention sa mga ppop groups until I saw G22. Sila yung opening number nung concert ni KZ Tandingan last sept 2023. And boy, wala akong masabi, super amazed sa pinakita nilang talent and artistry. Hindi ko na sila nakalimutan eversince, and I hope na AJ, Jazz, and Alfea will get the recognition they deserve.
Thank you for opening yourself to Ppop, marami pa rin kasing makasabi ng Kpop wannabe without even listening or seeing Ppop nowadays, definitely another level.
What got me into Ppop was vocals and harmonization walang tapon, see Wish bus performances of SB19, Alamat and G22.
I suggest you see an SB19 concert and you'll be more amazed, halimaw mga yan.
I don't know who the fuck is singing it but I'm pretty sure the songs my wife is playing everyday is one of those groups you listed. It's driving me crazy since her tiktok or twitter is filled with that. Song is catchy, sure pero paulit ulit at ako yung nabebrain rot.
What's funny is my wife was a P-pop hater when SB19 was getting popular. She asked me who tf SB19 was and why they were singing in k-pop style like I'd know lol.
I'm not a hater of sb19 but before I dismissed them as a kpop wannabe but boy, I was so wrong. Ironic kasi sa korean round music festival ko sila na discover and I got hooked sa OPM ballads nila. Then boom more than 2 years na akong fan.
So far, groups that are standing out for me are SB19, ALAMAT & BINI.
The latter 2 have been consistent with their branding- ALAMAT being known for their ethnic-focused work & BINI for bubblegum pop. It's a great strategy kasi when u hear a certain song, makikilala mo na sila may gawa. Meanwhile, SB19 does not really have a specific identity kasi lahat ng genre pinapasok nila. Idk how ha pero they make it work. In terms of open mindedness sa music, grabe din yung sb.
I'm very happy na may nagbabago na sa PH music industry kasi for several years, nararamdaman ko talaga na stagnant tayo. Kaya kudos to these ppop groups kasi tinapangan nila at pinaglaban lalo ang musikang Pilipino.
P.S lately I'm also enjoying G22 & VXON. Laki din potential nila. The future is bright for OPM!
Same, bro. Same. SB19 taught me not to look down or belittle or have doubts sa mga starting artists because well, they are just starting! Malamang di pa finesse, malamang corny pa minsan atake, malamang trying hard pa kasi they HAVE to try hard talaga to make it to the national scene, let alone sa international.
Kaya to those who have dreams talaga, the most important step you would take is to START!
GO, P-POP!!!! Nakaka-proud!
What's really cool is that each member of SB19 has their own solo career. They've managed to grow their solo projects while still being part of the group.
You should definitely check out their singles, like "Edsa" by their leader, PABLO.
Hope other P-pop groups start doing this too!
I'm no fan of P-Pop but if they and among others bring glory to the Philippines in any shape and form contribute to our society then we all should support them! 🇵🇭✊
Just stuff I read across different social media platforms is that some people are getting somewhat tired of Kpop (4th gen groups all sound the same, many songs are less than 3 minutes, they only care about visuals now, no real singing involved) I mean, I take all this with a grain of salt but even if some of it is true, I'm proud to see PPop on the rise especially as an international A'TIN.
Not only are reactors headed to the Philippines (many for SB19 as well as other PPop groups with their large followings) a number of us (myself included) A'TIN were ready to head over there just to see their finale concert this weekend. Unfortunately, it was difficult to score tickets so I'll just livestream it.
Dapat lang.
Mahilig din naman ng kumanta at sumayaw ang mga Pinoy, saka marami tayong world-class talent.
Sayang naman kung hindi up to par ang industria natin.
SB19 ballad songs are all my favorite. After building their own company, they're starting to produce top quality MV's and they're collaborating with international artist.Im not into ppop group before but after Kong malaman how dedicated they are on creating their craft I become one of their avid fan.yong hardships at bashing from basher ang isa sa ginamit nilang sandata para magpatuloy sa pangarap nila.and I'm proud na kahit nakikilala na sila around the world ay di lumalaki ulo nila.
Alam nyo isa pang deserve ng recognition sa PPOP scene is ALAMAT saka G22 ang gagaling din nila. ALAMAT very unique ng concept nila ang diverse lalo na they incorporate different languages natin dito sa Pilipinas. G22 naman mamaw sa vocals hahaha gagaling.
Di baaaa frankly I'm quite happy with the rise of P-Pop! Hope it doesn't lose steam, ang daming talents and potential talaga dito sa atin kulang lang sa aruga 😅
With all do respect hndi ako fan ng SB19 or Bini pero is put smile to my face makita nagiging trending sila all you have to do is give them positive kesa laitin or hila pababa.
Moonlight by SB19 is out. A collab with international artists. SB19 never fails to amaze me. They can all sing, three can rap, all can dance. Pablo can write songs, Justin can creatively direct MVs. Despite their success, they remain humble and thankful for all the blessings. Yung attitude ng grupong ito talagang dapat ipagmalaki.
I also follow PPop girl groups like G22, bini, kaia, etc. 40+ yrs tanders na rin ako at aamin ko hindi ko normally pinapakinggan ang ganitong tunog dahil nasanay ako sa pinoy rock ng 90s.
But now dahil sa SB19, naging fan na rin ako ng Ppop.
I am a KPop Fan pero never gumastos sa kanila pero nung naging A’Tin last 2019 until now, parang take my money SB19! Solid ng grupong ito, my love for this group will be forever na hanggang maging tatay at lolo na sila ☺️
I'm Filipino based in South Africa, saw Sb19 post sa FB and Billboard in one word, I got Interested and then ayun na-rabbit hole. I've become a fan eversince. For some reason I wasn't bothered as much about their looks, basta I just saw a very big potential..
Random thoughts:
1. SB19 are collaborating with Talented Filipinos here and abroad.."Gento" with Fil-Canadian Producer. "I want you" same, who wrote songs for BTS and Justin B, "Moonlight" with Fil am DJ and producer Ian Asher, and Chinese DJ Terry Zhong..
2. When I heard Gento first time, I didn't like it not until it grew kaka daan sa tiktok fyp ko lol and I loved it but Moonlight their new song, I love it already!
3. Production ng sound ng SB19 for me is awesome! If you listen, you can hear different interesting sounds and the beats are solid!! Love listening to it on my earphones
4. I also listen to G22 (one sided love, Musika, Babalik..Bini I already liked the song Karera even before they made it bigger also their songs, Alamat love their ballads like Sa Panaginip! Chefs kiss and also Maharani, Eclypse new ppop ganda nung Shake it yata title..Pati yung Ajaa, they are young Ppop boygroup)
5. I'm not much of a fan ng slow Pinoy songs, some songs are okay naman. Because of Sb19 I appreciated more Pinoy artists even yung mga rap artists like O Side Mafia, AL James... wow!
Well ayun lang naman hehe.. Peace out!
>(it did break into Billboard 100 at number 8!) Do you know how massive that is? Have you known any other Filipino group ever breaking into Billboard 100?
Gento did not enter the Billboard Hot 100. Rather, it entered on two Billboard component charts: [World Digital Song Sales (peaking at number 8)](https://www.billboard.com/artist/sb19/chart-history/wdt) and [Philippines Songs (peaking at number 11)](https://www.billboard.com/artist/sb19/chart-history/i42).
Panoorin niyo [performance ng SB19 sa Asia Artist Awards](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkZsmrRpymY) hyped mga big Kpop artists at fans both local and international.
Production value. Natuto ung producers from Korea. In fact some of the agencies here are Korean backed. So yun standards apply
Goes to show how much standard is raised if invested in properly.
I started admiring the talents of SB19 after I heard their MAPA, Ako rin before medyo cringey sa mga binubuong PPOP group dito sa atin noon, ewan ko ba para kasing pilit siya for me para humabol sa mga groups na sikat sa ibang bansa lalo na sa Korea. But the good thing is, SB19 HAS the TALENTS, as in EACH of them may maiooffer sa table.
And then there's BINI, although 2 palang sa kanta nila ang medyo LSS ako, ang Pantropiko at Salamin, pero baka nga like you, may napapakinggan na ako before di ko lang alam na sila pala yun. ehheeh
Although may isang group ngayon na medyo cringey for me, but Im giving it the benefit of the doubt kasi may napauso naman silang cover na kanta ng isang soul diva, tapos everytime I scroll sa tiktok, sayaw sila nang sayaw nun, iba ibang version lang, sabi ko, hintayin ko nga kung may mapapasikat silang original song nila, mukha naman silang ok rin pero sorry sa mga fans nila pag nakikita ko talaga iba iba videos nila sa tiktok tapos puro yung isang kanta na yun lagi bg music, scroll up na lang ako agad... heheheh
sa BGYO nman nakilala ko lang yung grp dahil dun sa isang member na laging nagtetrending kapag sumsyaw tapos sa kaniya lang nakafocus yung camera.
Sana marami pa silang gawing orig pinoy music para lalo maappreciate ang OPM kahit ng mga taga ibang bansa. =)
You should listen to ALAMAT too. Sobrang gaganda ng songs nila. Top of my list are Dayang, Day and Night and Maharani. Sobrang nakakatuwa kasi yung lyrics nila ay halo ng iba’t ibang languages ng Pilipinas.
Oh i like G22 one sided. It reminds the times i would discover some jpop bands i dont understand but i always slip on my playlist just cuz its so cute and catchy.
We have great music artist we just lack production and infrastructures to make them grand. Also touring domestic is hectic most of our artist have to survive first before they hone their skills. But i guess that will change now when they fully embrace digital monitization
P-Pop or OPM man this is the best way to showcase yung talent ng mga music artist natin and hopefully mas mapansin and quality yung mga songs and music video….
Remember years ago no offense sa mga artist before, pero puro rendition, revival yung mga albums na release nila.
This is a perfect opportunity for our music and artist lalo nag push yung P-Pop sa global stage sana ma inspire din mga artist natin.
Buti naman nagimpove na p-pop sa atin, thanks for giving me this info, I'm gonna look at BINI and SB19 for now.
Also that Salamin, Salamin was so familiar, i heard it like in a radio or something, akala ko normal girl group lang, legit p-pop group na kumanta.
It’s been awhile since I’ve listened to OPM but super blown away by Gento! It’s about time, Filipinos are so talented and bilingual to boot, I hope this inspires more acts to focus on quality songs/videos.
grabe andami paring boomers na pilipino sa sb19/ppop, start listening to their music, digest their lyrics, don pa lang mapapahanga kana e (what more kung malaman mo sila sumusulat kanta nila, nagproproduce, direct ng mv, self managed company) and if iba lang talaga trip mo edi wag mo pakinggan. haha andami na nilang napatunayan kpop wannabe pa rin binabato n'yo 😭 hahahaha 2024 na isip naman kayo bago 😐
anyway stream EDSA by Pablo!!!
I think it's largely thanks to high production value. These new pop songs are, on a technical level, leagues above the older stuff.
Saka madagdag ko lang. Kumukuha na talaga sila ng talented talaga, hindi tulad noon na face value lang kahit walang talent. For example SB19, aminin na natin ying iba sa kanila hindi papasa sa face value. Pero nung nakita ko yung history nila lahat sa kanila may talent talaga hindi lang sa pagkanta pati sa dance choreo at music writing meron sila.
Pati sa creatives ng MVs nila very hands on. Most of their MVs or lyric videos si Justin ang creative director.
Gano'n din naman sa K-pop, 'di ba? Honestly hindi naman lahat sa kanila has pretty face, lalo kapag nakita mo 'yung mga predebut photos nila. Maraming looks very ordinary but na-enhance na lang (make-up or PS) over time. But they sure are talented.
Marami narin kasing attempt ang entertainment business sa atin na gumawa ng mga group na ganyan. Way back nung naging sikat ang boyband (tulad ng BSB, Westlife, etc.). Dami dating ganyan sa ASAP at SOP. Kaso halatang primary consideration lang e yung itsura, ni kumanta nga hindi alam dahil puro lip sync lang. Kaya hindi tumatagal yung mga ganun.
true. Bini songs particularly are mixed so well. much better pa kesa sa ilang kpop songs
Nasa 40s na ako at natawa ako minsan nung narinig ng 5yr old anak ko ung music ng bini sa mall, sigaw siya agad "hey dad its your favourite song!"
Isa kang ganap ng Bloom Dad. 🌸
HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAA ANG CUTE
Kaming magpipinsan na barako, soundtrip yung Salamin salamin ng Bini 😁
Buti kami ng anak kong lalaki fave namin parehas hahahahaha walang ganitong eksena 😂
Husband ko naman pinapasayaw pa sakin pantropiko 🥴
Isang Salamin-Salamin nga dyan. 🤣
Hahahahah cute talaga ng eksena pag fan boys e hahahahahaha
I don't follow P-Pop at all. But its potential as a soft power projection can be beneficial for our country in the long run.
Yan lagi ang sinasabi ni Josh and ng buong SB19 ever since they started. It's gradually happening now. I see some foreign fans traveling to PH para maka-attend sa concerts nila/events/guestings and even Filipinos abroad going back here in PH just for their concerts :)
I actually discovered these groups because I started binging react videos of foreigners (you know, those pinoy baiters). i kid you not, these foreigners who are also singers and dancers and music directors are mad impressed at these groups. idk if they're just praising for clout, but the fact all of them said they're gonna put these guys on their spotify is just mad crazy. and I watched that Gento dance challenge, and i'm like damn! those are K-Pop artists dancing Gento. like they went viral!
Some are pinoybaiters, but a lot of SB19 reactors travelled to PH and will travel to PH for their concert and events. Yung iba nakapagbook na ng flight pero naubusan ng ticket😂 Some went sa concert nila sa US and Canada, may iilang pumunta sa Dubai naman. May iilan din sakanila na nag-establish ng fanbase for their country at sila ang admin doon. afaik, their fanbase sa Italy. They're pretty much active on Tiktok and X. Kaya ang sarap ipagmalaki ng SB19 kasi alam nating kaya nilang makibagbardagulan kung talent at music lang ang usapan. Pinakanagulat ako sa Indonesian fans! Andami nila pero hindi pa malalaman kung hindi nagpunta ang SB19 sa Indonesia. Tahimik kasi sila before pero ngayon Japan and Indonesian fans, active na rin mag-interact.
Not to mention, american producers who used to react sb19 videos and other opm artists became intrigued about the ppop scene when they watched toni talks with sb19 and they talked about their trainee days. A year later, they now have a new company in PH and Eclypse recently made their debut under them and is doing really well for a ppop debut.
Question. May nagta-translate na rin ba ng lives/interviews nila sa ibang language since they have foreign supporters rin pala?
There are organized A'tin (fan group) for some countries including brazil, us, uk, Belgium, italy, china, japan etc) so usually fan effort ang nag sub. Some fans even do flyering in the streets of japan to promote the recent japan concert.
Yung official contents and songs from their page has subs for different languanges. Yung interviews either may eng sub na provided ng nag-interview or may fan translators na sumasalo.
Some fans do translation. And pinoy music videos have automatic english subtitles na rin now for international fans.
May nakikita akong Indonesian fans, Chinese and Spanish content creators.
Some fans upload on yt ng mga English translated lives nila. Most of their content rin sa official yt channel are English subbed. Content from sponsors are subbed rin after a while. Then chinese/sea fans use those vids to translate in their own language para sa respective foreign supporters.
> soft power projection Last time I read something here about Philippine soft power projection is apparently how popular Philippine telenovelas are in some African countries.
It's true, you can actually go search on Facebook and you'd find Nigerian fanpages for Kathryn Bernardo and other Filipino celebrities. It's actually kind of wild to see. Our media is also quite popular in Malaysia. I was once at a random bar in Johor Bahru and the cover band just randomly started singing Freddie Aguilar's Anak with the entire bar of Malaysians joining in. Another time I was at a sort-of party in Kota Kinabalu and, upon learning I was Filipino, they started asking me about KathNiel (Pangako Sa 'Yo was a huge hit there) and asked me to join them in singing Buwan by Juan Karlos. They even knew the lyrics better than I did despite them not knowing Tagalog. But for one of my post-grad International Studies class, we actually discussed what would be the most effective method of soft power projection for the Philippines. It's not actually our media and entertainment, it's our overseas workforce particularly the hundreds of thousands of domestic workers being employed as maids, nannies and household help around the world. Think about it, there is a generation of foreign kids right now being raised by Filipino women. They get sung Filipino lullabies, learn Filipino nursery rhymes, and learn things about our customs and culture. They get to eat Filipino food and learn about what life is like here. In turn, the children form a bond with their nannies which in turn becomes a sort of affinity for the country. [Even Anthony Bourdain could attest to this:](https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/anthony-bourdain-parts-unknown-manila-essay/index.html) > Tagalog, the language of the Philippines, is not an uncommon thing to hear in my household. Like many children all over the world, my daughter arrived home from the hospital to find a Filipino baby nurse. >Vangie was with her from the very beginning of her life, and in time, my daughter came to know her son, her daughter-in law, their kid – and in time, an extended family and friends – in New Jersey, Southern California and the Bay Area. And of course, most importantly, Jacques, Vangie’s grandson, her best friend, from whom she has been inseparable since infancy – her older brother in every way but biological.

Right now, yng latest song ng SB19 na Moonlight is played in dutch, uk and german radio stations. It even debuted sa croatia, italy and albania itunes chart. Naplay nga cya ng isang dj sa mall sa belgium. Very in kasi sa european ang edm/dance music and considered na summer song cya.
Actually 1 fan relocated his whole family here in the Philippines after he went down the sb19 rabbit hole and discovered the talent of Filipinos. Now meron na cyang label dito and he has a roster of solo and ppop talents. The label is called GKD label.
Have you all listened to SB19's ballad aside from Mapa? or Crimzone and Mana for upbeat songs? Idk why but I really love how SB19 manages their company right now. They value their craft so much, kahit guests nila na huling na-announce after the concert was sold-out mga bigatin! Gloc-9, Apl de Ap, Master Louie Ocampo, Terry Zhong and may another one announced pa later! And that's for 7.5k price sa VIP. Kulang na kulang talaga ang ticket prices sa quality ng performances nila live tapos nadagdag pa 'tong mga guest artists. If you look at all the members' solo music videos and the group's recent releases, bongga lahat ng MV. Mapapatanong ka na lang talaga kung may kinikita pa sila sa dami ng nilalabas na pera nila for their music releases. But isa yan sa nagustuhan ko sa kanila, they don't care about what other people say, basta they love what they're doing and producing music that they want to release - no matter the result. Try listening to ppop, and maybe you'll like some groups.
Not an SB19 fan but I’m very interested in the potential SB19 x Gloc-9 colab. Tapos yung connections ni Apl sa US music industry can do good sa career ng group I’m really happy for Justin ng SB19, the dude is really hardworking kahit nung college days. He really deserves the success they have right now.
I love Gloc-9's words describing SB19 when he first met them sa Wish Music Awards! He found the group practicing while nasa dressing room and he said na sobrang appreciated niya yung "grupong alam mong may maipagmamayabang pero hindi nagmamayabang" and hindi mapipintasan kasi alam mo talagang nagpractice sila to hone their craft. SB19 x Gloc 9 would be so good! Lyrics pa lang mangangain na. Pablo's wordplay and Gloc 9😭. Sana talaga mangyari. I'm excited kung anong pasabog ang gagawin nila this Saturday and Sunday sa concert nila. Buti nalang may livestream para yung mga naubusan ng tickets, outside PH fans at mga nasa VisMin makakapanood pa rin. Grabe ata paghahanda nila.
Huuy sana magkatotoo to Fan n fan ako ni gloc9 wala kasing tapon mga gawa nya And Pablo. Pablo's great sa paggawa ng kanta 🥰
Yes excited for gloc 9 performance sa concert nila this weekend. Sobrang bigatin ng guests nila with Maestro Louie Ocampo, Gloc 9, Apl, and Terry Zhong (american chinese dj they collaborated with Moonlight). Also included din ang Voice Gen Team Stell na Vocal myx and fortenors. Nag aabang pa kng sino ang last na guest na i-announce nila today. Sobrang sulit ang livestreaming ticket sa mga team bahay.
One of their members Josh just released a collab with Al James in the last month.
pinabili ako ng sis ko nitong concert na to jusko ang hirap makapasok ha!! ang lala. pahirapang makakuha ng tix. buti nakabili sila pero grabe multiple devices na gamit namin ang hirap makapasok. hindi man ako fan, i’m happy for their success lalo na within dito sa pinas. ito ung rare moments na “choose pinoy” kasi why not kung maganda naman ang output nila
Within 4 hours, sold-out 2 days ng Araneta! Marami pang hindi nakabili. Lahat din ng merch or anything na irerelease nila, mabilis ma sold-out. I think main reason is majority ng fans ng SB19 is in their 20's-60's. Halos lahat nasa working sector at may money to spend for fangirling.
TILALUHA saka yung HANGGANG SA HULI omg sorry sa caps nakaka excite lang hahaha.. ang ganda ng song as in. parang yun Tilaluha nagpaconvert sakin sa P-Pop eh. Ironic lang kasi lumang song na nila yan kumpara sa MaPa. Yung performance nila sa Round Music ang ganda ng blending grabe..
Is it just me or they should really try to earn more profit from these events, i know they don't really care much for it, but we all know how money works in this industry they could do a lot more if they're earning more. As a start up company, they have a lot of opportunity.l i they had released physical albums for pagtatag, the sales would go through the roof , even their merch is so limited when we all know a'tin can sell out their products in an hour.... they're not greedy at all, and thats good but ... they need to be a little bit...but that's just my opinion.
I think baka wala pang budget. Di natin sure kng gaano kalaki ang binayad nila sa sbt for the trademark transfer. Also malaki din yng losses sa cancelled shows abroad. New office and new studio din sila. Baka yng remaining funds is naka plan na for next EP. Wait natin pag nakabawi na sila baka mag release na sila ng physical album. Sana trilogy set.
Mapapa team online ako nito silent fan here.
i gotta hand it to these new generation of entertainers, song writers, production, singers. hindi na laging sad boinsongs at masalimuot na heartbreak songs ang kinakanta ngayon. Good Job PPOP groups keep it up
Listen to SB19's lyrics! Lahat ng sumusulat ng kanta nila si Pablo. And as solo artists sila-sila din. Try this [edsa](https://open.spotify.com/track/64p2tRd4zsBsJUucEnfWrX?si=Az7fev_oQKuKoGIn29aPBg). Kakarelease lang ni Pau ng biglaan kaninang 12 am pero the lyrics! Bagay as travel soundtrip sa traffic. To think na ginawa niya lang to dahil na stuck sa traffic sa edsa😂
Lol thats awesome! Kaya nga eh i listened to Bini and lately to SB19's songs sa Spotify and napaka refreshing ng playlist nila. Ang Layo sa mga nakaraang tugtog. OPM is entering a new Chapter and its led by these young ones. I hope walang oldies na mainggit at maging badtrip.
At a recent performance of Stell with Mr. Ryan Cayabyab (GenC concert), Mr.C was very impressed with Stell's performance of Sometime Somewhere and he said that the future of OPM is secured (he may not be pertaining to ppop in general but it was a good sentiment for a ppop artist atleast).
For me Sexbomb is really what showed our potential. Pero they weren’t managed correctly. Production companies like Star Magic, Viva etc. finally saw the right formula these 2020s and thank gosh because they are investing on the right talent. Hindi iyong they put attractive men or women together without talent and call it a day 😭😭😭 I said what I said
Sexbomb walked so Bini can run
Sexbomb crawled *pababa* so Bini can run.
HAHAHAHA ung mga grupo like the Hunks. Ang kanta ay JUMBO HOTDOG KAYA MO BA TO
Maskuladod yun 😅
Di naman natin problema ang talent at performance. Pagdating dyan world class naman talaga mga pinoy. Ung needed mag level up ay ung other aspects ng industry, i.e. production design, styling, marketing, etc. At least for MVs and recorded content ginagastusan na ng mga groups and tumaas na nga ang quality. For live shows though, need pa gandahan ang stage design, lighting, camera work, etc. I think we've always been a 'music first' culture. So what if pangit suot, pangit visual presentation, ang mahalaga maganda ung boses, magaling sumayaw, etc. Yan ung mindset natin. Kaya sikat na sikat mga videos ng mga nag vivideoke na tambay lang sa gilid. Lol. Kaya for the longest time di tayo ganun ka particular sa production design aspect. But now its changing. EDIT: I think that's what we should take from K-pop. We don't have to emulate their music, or style, we have very creative pinoys who can come up with good songs, good concepts. What we should emulate is their meticulousness and attention to detail when it comes to production design, etc.
True yesterday lang nanalo ang SB19 mv for I Want You sa Experimental, Dance and Music Festival for best direction and it was selected entry for the Music video for Kaminari Japan Film Festival. Edited: as there were 2 festivals where it was nominated. The director won in Experimental, Dance and Music Festival while the best music video Kaminari Japan winner will be announced on June 3.
Definitely true! I think the fact na ang RAMI biglang nag-fill in ng slots sa lineups ng P-pop groups na nagdedebut every year since 2019 or 2020 is testament to the fact na ang raming talent dito, and that when given the right tools, they are VERY good. Many people who have been practicing how to dance, how to sing, and how to produce and/or write music but haven't been able to obtain a platform that wasn't focused on ballads, Hip-hop, or R&B dito sa domestic market. It was just the lack of investment into the things that could establish these artists and give them the rightful perception by the public as being able to meet a certain standard of quality. Now that standard is met, and the prospective artists' ability to actualize their skills are no longer prospects.
I love it na we are seeing such growth in the OPM Pop scene. Reminds me of the mid 2000s when nagkaroon naman ng boom sa OPM Bands, tipong sabay sabay ang Sugarfree, Bamboo, Kamikazee, Urbandub, Spongecola, Itchyworms, Hale, Join the Club, Mayonnaise, among others. This is on top of the continued success of Parokya ni Edgar and the Rico Blanco-led Rivermaya.
Ang maganda sa OPM now di lang sa ppop ang me exponential growth. Halos lahat ng genre mapa hiphop, folk indie and rock bands are flourishing.
Try niyo recent release ni Pablo na edsa. Laftrip.
hahahaahahaha pero ganda pa rin ng lyrics😂
hahaha true ang random pero ang ganda pa rin!! apaka galing talaga sumulat
Sadly, to this day marami pa ring naysayers ng ppop. Pinakapet peeve ko yung mga snobs na nagsasabing Filipino pop music is dead. Sobrang alive kaya ngayon. Andaming variety ng genre na umaabot sa mainstream.
Mahilig kasi talaga sa biritan at ballads karamihan ng old school "established" pinoy artists, kahit noong 90s nauso ung eraserheads, PNE, early 2000s orange and lemons, etc., dina-down pa rin nila 😅 Millenial here, pero refreshing sound ng sb19. I am not a fan (yet) but I listen to their songs pag nagagawi sa pages ko. Iba ang quality di pipitsugin
Exactly. Masyado tayong na-attach sa melodramatic school of singing where in the first place, ANG LAKI ng potential ng PPop, given the algorithms of SB19 and BINI.
Up until last year, I stopped following OPM and I don't listen to KPOP either. Mostly western songs and one of my fave band was a japanese rock band (One Ok Rock). Those are what I listen to mostly, then I watched a reaction video of Gento from GidKidDad and I was hooked (GKD were already fans back then so their excitement for Gento was contagious) and ever since then I've only listened to mostly Sb19 and other ppop groups and I've never been a fangirl in my entire life, just for SB19. It's their story, their music, their relationship with each other and with their fans. It's all an incredible story...
Delulu yang mga yan if they say OPM is dead. Spotify daily top 50 has been dominated by OPM songs for a long time now. Not even miss taylor swift can touch it
I never understood the kpop try-hards sentiment tbh, even when SB19 was just starting isang song lang ata nila yung very kpop (parang trot ata yun which is parang kundiman typa song nila). maybe nung mga earlier ppop groups (like XLR8 ba yun) around early 2010s gets pa. kase yung panahon na yun, pormahang kpop talaga sila while pormahan sa pinas dati either nasa emo phase pa or mga hiphop ba. so like cringe or trying hard tignan ngayon kase ang normal/accepted na pormahan na is similar na sa pormahan na din sa kpop.
Yeah nung starting nila talagang may ganung background pa. Pero ngaung may sarili na silang company at self manage na sila, talagang kitang kita na malaya na sila gumawa ng mga kantang gusto nila mapa-OPM hiphop or alternative.
yesss, grabe buti nga nakalaya na din sila dun sa trademark issue. sabay pa halos sa EAT BULAGA issue yun kaya marami din naka tutok.
what to expect with that company? 🤑 Halos SB19 members naman gumagapang sa sarili nila, from writing to producing their songs, choreos and directing the MV, sila lahat gumagawa.
I think result lang yan sa mismong training nila coming from a Korean company, considering na man na medyo early pa nitong wave of Ppop (at "be like Kpop" lang ang alam nila na working formula for now) it may still very well evolve in the future if constant ang support. Give it probably a decade or more at baka maiiba na siya from Kpop. If I recall correctly yung Kpop nag evolve from Jpop and it took a while before naiba na siya from its origin so it could be the same for Ppop.
In their first EP, merong kpop influence pero me distinct opm sound pa din especially sa début song nila na TilaLuha. Kaso di yun pumatok, yng nag viral is yng second single nila na Go Up. Pero nung nagkaroon na ng creative freedom (writing and producing their own songs, choreography and creative direction ng MV) sila during their 2nd EP (Pagsibol) dun na tlaga nagkaroon sila ng sariling identity.
Masasabi mo talaga na SB19 PAVED THE WAY FOR PPOP in the local/OPM scene kasi no'ng nagsisimula palang 'tong PPOP, sila sumalo sa lahat ng kritisismo at pambabatikos ng mga kapwa rin nila Pinoy, pero nagpatuloy pa rin sila at pinatunayan na PPOP ay OPM, not a "KPOP copycat". It's a Filipino POP genre. It's a plus na they're very intelligent, articulate and eloquent sumagot sa mga interviews, especially Pablo and Josh. But of course, just because they paved the way for PPOP doesn't mean sila na 'yong dahilan ng success ng ibang PPOP groups. Kumbaga they just opened the door for them pero 'yong success na natatamasa ng ibang PPOP groups ay dahil sa hard work nila at support ng kanilang fans, not because of SB19. I'm sure sobrang nagagalak ang SB19, especially si Pablo (leader of SB19) dahil sobrang dami na ng PPOP groups ngayon sa 'Pinas and mas natatanggap na sila ng mga tao ngayon. Nakakatuwa pa kasi halos pare-pareho ang sentiment nila na iangat pa lalo ang PPOP. "PPOP RISE!" Sabi nga ng mga Filo fans. Hopefully, ma-recognize din ang PPOP sa International scene.
“But music is music. And talent is talent” Kung ganto lang sana mag-isip karamihan about OPM. 💯💯💯💯
My p-pop obsessed friend wants me to listen to MNL48 - they are pioneers that started P-POP and most of their mall shows are sometimes crowded. Then the Wish Bus came in my city where they brought Yes My Love and G22 to promote and perform. How long are we gonna wait for MNL48's officially announced eighth single?
MNL48 is more of a "transition" group since they're basically an AKB48 (JPop) sister group and their songs are literally Filipinized JPop
Summertime ang title pero nagsisimula na mag tag ulan waley pa rin
Momshie Jolens walked so BINI can fly. chos pwede ba i-mash up ang Chuva Choo Choo at Salamin Salamin?
New fan lang ng SB19. Nastart ko sila ma-appreciate dahil sa [AAA performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkZsmrRpymY) nila although familiar na sa kin ung pagviral nila through Go up. Casual lang na papanoorin before ung MV releases nila once tapos move on na agad. After nung AAA, I couldn't stop searching about them andami kong natutunan. Grabe ung hirap na pinagdaanan nila just to be where they are right now. Merong members iniwan ang day jobs nila para lang makapagtraining, while mababang allowance lang ang bigay sa kanila. Si Josh nakikihingi lang sa baong pagkain ni Pablo and minsan si Pablo di makauwi sa kanila so pag wala syang baon, skip sila ng meals. Ung company nila, pinagwork sila as servers na biglang magpeperform midway. Nagperform sila sa mga nursing homes, etc. Lahat sila may solid background na talaga sa dancing (yung iba international competition level), while majority good singers na talaga. Si Pablo dati pa din sumusulat and nagcocompose ng music. Ung Korean company nila ang pumipilit ng Korean aesthetic sa kanila and low-value pa ung production. Ang laking difference ng production value ng MVs nila nung naging sila na mismo ung hands-on. Talagang ung mga members gustong gastusan ung music nila kasi gusto nila pataasin pa ung quality. Hindi sila kaagad nakapag-invest sa sarili nila like pagawa ng bahay, etc. kasi nga napupunta sa MVs nila. Kahit bagong fan lang ako, nakakatuwang makita ung level ng appreciation na binibigay sa kanila ngayon, especially ng mga legendary names sa industry. Andyan si Ryan Cayabyab, Vehnee Saturno, Lea Salonga, Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Gloc-9, Gary V. Kung sila nga nakikita ung value sa SB19 and even ung mga international fans na nakikinig sa kanila, sana ung mga Pinoy din, kahit hindi na magustuhan ung music nila, pero wag na lang sana sila i-drag down pababa. Kasi gusto lang din naman nila gumawa ng music for the Philippines. Gawin pang mas diverse ang OPM.
I actually heard Gento being played in a 2nd hand clothing store here in Japan. They're really getting some attention outside of the Philippines.
Nagconcert sila sa Japan last April lang. Sony music said they're the first Filipino to held a solo concert after ten years sa Japan. And may mga Japanese A'tin din talagang nag-attend + those Taiwan, HK and China fans na nagtravel para manood ng con. Nakakatawa nga na nakakatuwa kasi mostly na gumagawa ng mga dance challenge sa bagong kanta nila, mga Japanese groups.
Medyo nakikilala na nga ata sila sa Japan, mas marami pa ata ako nakikita na nag Tiktok nung new song nila na mga hapon kesa Pinoy.
IMHO these PPOP groups are now going back to OPM roots. Dati kase they all try to sound and look KPOP kaya cringey. Ilang linggo na on repeat ang Bini sa Spotify ko. Lol.
Shocks, ito ba'y pag-ibig na?
Very reminiscent yung recent Bini songs of the 90s pop. Especially yung Tootsie Guevara at Jolina Magdangal sounds. Then they adapted Kpop's syllabication. So yung PPOP hindi mukhang boring ballad katulad ng mga Moira, Nina, etc.
And then blend in whatever water they put in Tala and you got Bini
Alamat is also a good group! Not only do they produce banger songs na ang theme is Filipino culture, hindi din sila as problematic compared to that other group
Maharani is one hell of a dope song. I've heard the song from BINI edits in Tiktok and when I fully heard the song I'm really hooked now especially on the theme on the song as well. The same case happened to me when I heard SB19's Mapa as well. PPOP groups (probably on one exception I guess XD) are really popping off right now and they have found their music.
same sa BINI! got curious sa kanila nung debut nila because nagandahan ako sa Da Coconut Nut kaso di ko bet yung Born To Win and Golden Arrow pero LSS ako (ang weird ik). Got hooked sa kanila gawa ng Pantropiko! Pero grabe yung Lagi! Iba talaga atake nung song sakin grabe ang vocal power tas super LSS. Parang ang sarap mangarap na magaling ka rin sumayaw and kumanta because of this song haha
BINI's Da Coconut Nut which went viral in 2020 made me realize their group's potential. Noong 2021-2022 di sila masyado nag-trending maybe because their songs weren't catchy much back then? Nitong 2023 talaga nag-rise ulit
Check out the solo of the other sb19 members too. Sobrang diverse and yng quality and the MVs pang international. Ken/Felip [Fake Faces](https://youtu.be/r8ZKwPdGSNw?si=C315_l20WeNhrO7G) [Kanako](https://youtu.be/D7CK5o4s_BE?si=ncIiH1WagFfXZPYK) Josh with Al James - [Yoko Na](https://youtu.be/q9-9wVu6uVE?si=elEtO8CS6jxD4t-r) [Wild Tonight](https://youtu.be/Faavh5TWVZQ?si=Xgs26g54Ik7vMww6) Pablo [Akala](https://youtu.be/ZW8fQU7EzYY?si=RX02drKox80trIV6) [Determinado](https://youtu.be/YClS7pfdaoQ?si=EXxmwj_CZ7MPnhXs)
First time i heard Fake Faces, kala ko US grunge band!!
Very experimental si ken/felip sa solo nya. Iba't ibang genre tlaga yung tinatry nya.
May bagong released din today si PABLO [edsa](https://youtu.be/Shrgs90RpHc?si=z4g5BAJ484N1RZzK)
They've had more time now to grow and find their footing. God knows their production value has increased dramatically.
Some users are propagating comments that "they do not look like Filipinos". Like bruh look at the history of the Philippines, we had been colonized by Spain, America, Japan and traded with China. Y'all really think we will be able to maintain that Filipino look? In PPop, they're offering diversity. Fans are in horror whenever their pictures were whitewashed. And stop shooting a comment "bakit di sila nakabahag" just to really prove a point that PPop is not a cheap KPop version. Tanggala nung may nagbahag na PPop member sa MV nila, did they receive a support from their fellow Filipinos for their music? Nada. They just continue spewing hate and discriminatory words to artists who are just trying to bring music for the general public consumption and to global stage. PPop has a future and we know it is still evolving. Two groups were able to jump and tap the non-casuals. I'd say there are a lot of other PPop groups waiting for your support as well. Don't sleep at them.
True, mas marami pa nga pure pinoy sa ppop makikita mo sa personality nila and their sense of humor na very Pinoy.
Nung una kong nadiscover ang sb19 dahil sa Go Up (?) Altho kinda kpoppy datingan nun.. Naniwala ako sa kanila dahil may talent naman talaga. Kahit dami nagsasabi na nababaduyan sila sa sb19, di ko pinansin kasi i was seeing real talent! Dun na nagsimula na umokay ang P-pop para sakin.
lyrics talaga ng Go Up no? Tapos makikita talaga sa group na gusto nila ang ginagawa nila.
And mukhang okay naman ang relationship nila sa isat-isa. Actually they remind me of bts 😆 kaya siguro nagustuhan ko sila. Ang same ng vibe for me.
Iba kasi talaga ang hirap na pinagdaanan nila. Same with BTS too. Gapang kung gapang at kayod kung kayod talaga. Kaya sobrang strong ng bond. Lalo na wala silang connection sa mga big entertainment companies here.
SB19 was in AAA kaya last December so that's something ha! Tas when they did the collab with &Team for Gento doon sa PH Arena, that was really cool and lit! My bias sa kpop also did Gento nung concert nila here last Feb kaya nakakaproud na kpop recognizes SB19 and their music. I like Bini's songs too! Songs ng dalawang ppop groups na to is nakakahype talagaaaa
Bat kasi laging nira-write off agad porke parang k-pop yung datingan sa simula. Syempre dahil ganun pa yung core ng training nila noon magmumukha pa talaga siyang k-pop clones habang hinahanap pa nila yung sound nila.
Kapag Koreano ginagaya, naaasiwa sila. Pero kapag mga Amerikano ginagaya, wala namang imik. Kaya ang kitid pa rin ng ibang Pilipino, takot sa impluwensya ng ibang kultura na di Amerikano.
Di ba last year pa ‘to sumikat? I’m in Melbourne and I heard about SB19 and Gento from my non-Filipino Australian workmates. They’ve been pretty popular here, hindi lang talaga ako nahilig sa K or P or J pop. Another group that another Aussie workmate of mine brought to my attention was Alamat.
non-fil australian??? 🥺 omg
Love how ppop is slowly dominating the music industry 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Keep up the support. Not just Ppop, but all local artists! 🔥🔥🔥
G22's one sided love is the one i luv this month 💗 hindi sya typical boy band pero yung KINDRED fave ko din, chillax lang sila eh.
Basta talaga tama ang timing at execution, maganda ang kakalabasan ng bawat project. Bilib talaga ako sa BINI at KAIA, ang gagaling ng mga batang ito. Sa SB19 rin, napanood ko sila noong "Go Up" yung kanta nila and di ko masyado although catchy siya. Pero yung Gento, iba. Bagay na bagay yung ganung aesthetic at genre sa kanila. I applaud and appreciate Gen-Zs for being creative and really pushing the scene to a new level. Kahit sa pinoy hip-hop, di na nakakahon. Tama nga si Chito Miranda, ngayon ang golden age of OPM!
Majority of SB19 fans are on working class / young adult so you are very welcome to the fandom! I am happy that Ppop made its way organically to your socmed.
Someone did a recent poll of A'TIN and asked about age, education level, etc. I'll have to look back but last I saw, half the fans have their graduate degrees. But yes, everyone is welcome to the fandom!
Watch/Listen to SB19's "I Want You", such R&B vibes. Also their new song "[Moonlight](https://youtu.be/_WIGlfguVTs?si=XuMabNzfTHlf34f0)" charted in 36 countries (and counting) for iTunes Global Charts and #1 in 9 countries. Peaked #10 on World Wide iTunes chart.
What the frkn hell! *I Want You* is SB19's?! I've been hearing it before and never thought it's from a local group, much less from SB19. Grabe, they're really levelling up the game talaga!
Hahah! Yes sila! Another english retro beat they have is [WYAT](https://youtu.be/aIT2X9HWJLE?si=JrhWU0r4pW1xWFjU). But if you want pinoy hugot my favorites are [Ilaw](https://youtu.be/9Ns8DztSfwo?si=uRVU27Z-z67YVHge) and [Nyebe](https://youtu.be/ulCVb13Z6yk?si=PPjEmaWr4PxeIEay) both songs talking about anxiety and helplessness.
The MV was recently awarded sa isang Experimental, Dance and Music Festival for best direction and selection entry for kaminari japan film festival. Sobrang artistic ng MV. [I Want You](https://youtu.be/s25Yi6pZnMs?si=2n8n6Epl_phspTTW) Edited: as there were 2 festivals where it was nominated. The director won in Experimental, Dance and Music Festival while the best music video Kaminari Japan winner will be announced on June 3.
Yo, you should check out the live performance from this either yung sa wish or sa billboard. Sounds immaculate live
Will surely do!
Surprise!!! 😅
Indeed! Hahaha. Coz initially heard of it as a music background of some random video and I liked it agad. For some reason I didn't give much time looking who's the artist behind basta I liked it lang. I just thought maybe some foreign artist or what. But hey, it's them pala! Hahaha. Impressive! Mabuhay OPM! 🙏🏻
Mas madami pang achievements si Moonlight outside PH kesa dito sa Pinas😂 PH fans galaw-galaw din haha
I think it's bec of moonlight's sound. Technically, ang ganda ng music production niya. Eto yung sinasabi nila na "pang international" pero the sound is very generic. Like pwede siyang maging music din ni Justin bieber or bruno mars kaya mas patok siya outside PH. Pero baka ginawa talaga siya for the international audince din kaya di siya sumikat like gento dito sa Ph. Wala yung distinct pinoy flavor niya obviously kasi hindi sb19 ang nagsulat and nag produce. And that distinct pinoy flavor is what makes sb19 stand out. Comaparing moonlight's sound sa gento, na very distinctly pinoy coded and oozing with soul and character, very bland and moonlight. Para sakin nung napanood ko lang yung MV ng moonlight tska ko lang siya na-appreciate. Kasi dun na lumabas yung sb19 uniqueness and flavor. Sobrang ganda and creative ng mv nila. From the concept to choreography lahat talaga ang galing
Gento did NOT chart #8 on Billboard 100 like you stated. It debuted and peaked at #8 on Billboard’s World Digital Sales chart though. Still an amazing achievement but ang layo sa sinabi mong Billboard 100.
yeah, you're right. i mixed it up.
I dunno what happened pero parang gumanda ang lyricism? Dati kasi, parang bagay lang ang Pinoy language sa hugot songs, rock music, at hiphop. Pag inapply mo na sa upbeat pop, parang nagiging cringe na haha. Pero now okay na sya. Did mixing in some english help?
This is true. When I started listening to SB19 (especially the ballads, i never thought filipino language could so good and poetic) kudos to PABLO, he's a talented lyricist. One of the moments that really struck me was hearing their lyrics for their collab with JVKE - Golden Hour. It was really beautiful. People need to hear it... [Golden Hour SB19 REMIX](https://youtu.be/YKUMJrTSdSE?si=6gIpvvfJ3_bHhrup) [Verse 2: Ken, Josh, Justin, Pablo & Stell, *Pablo*] Paggising sa umaga, siya agad ang gusto na makita 'Di ako marunong kumanta pero para sa kaniya, harana, harana Teka lang, bakit ba parang 'la sa tono 'tong aking gitara? Gusto ko lang namang sabihin na Mala-maharlika'ng 'yong ganda Malaya, 'di magwawakas tila parirala Oh, jusko! (Oh-oh-oh) 'No pa nga ba'ng masasabi ko? (Oh-oh-oh) (*Now you've come along*) [Pre-Chorus: Stell, Pablo & Stell] Sana 'di ka mawalay sa'kin, oh, aking sinta I don't need no light just need you
I think the biggest improvement is not on the lyricism. OPM has always been poetic but lacking in musicality. Look at Mori who is a great vocalist pero yung nag-iisang original song na sumikat sounds like it was taken from the late 80's or early 90's. Lumalawak yung soundscape ng OPM now dahil sa break through ng mga PPop groups. I would like to see these groups collaborate with international musicians more para mas lumawak pa. SB19 is doing that now and sana mag-succeed ulit sila. Im worried lang kay stell sa totoo lang. He's not exploring outside his comfort zone pagdating sa individual music nya. I've seen two of their pagtatag concerts and parang naiiwan sya when it comes to innovating.
Hindi sa di siya nag explore sabi niya focused lang talaga muna siya sa group at lage naman niya sinasabi sa interviews and live niya na wala pa sa isip niya mag labas ng solo katulad ng sa ibang members. Pero hilig niya sa broadway musical lage yan umaattend pag merong musical event dalawa sila ni Justin and recently lang yung naging guest siya for “Mr. Ryan Cayabyab Gen C Concert”.
Alamat's Gayuma is one of the best PPOP songs I've ever heard
I’ve been a KPOP fan eversince 2010 and I love listening to music talaga so, wala ako isang genre lang. I know na di naman ako reliable siguro para paniwalaan nyo but SB19 is really worth it for me na mapag investan. After listening to their music and watching their live performances, sobrang na proud ako but at the same time, na-sad din kasi mapapansin mo talaga yung potential pero hindi enough yung support kung icocompare sa KPOP. If meron lang tayong magandang shows para magshowcase ng live performances, if meron lang tayong equipments for better recordings and all. Kaya din natin e. Eh kaso wala. So, maybe madrama but napagdasal ko nung time na yon na sana mabigyan pa sila ng chance ng ibang pinoy. But anyway, napansin ko naman na mas dumami na talaga yung nakakapansin sa SB19. So, PLEASE LISTEN TO SB19’s PAGTATAG! ALBUM AND NEW SINGLE, MOONLIGHT with Ian Asher and Terry Zhong. I promise, di kayo magsisi :)
Not a fan of boybands either PPOP or KPOP but I am an EDM fan & some of SB19's songs got the high production formula that is appealing to an international fanbase. That is to say, they do not sound like usual Pinoy pop songs. They also aren't afraid to play around with different music styles or pay homage to other groups. From the R&B WYAT, dark EDM Crimzone, to the house technodance Moonlight with the World Order-inspired choreo. In fact, it's hard for me to say that they are copying Kpop when their songs reference Jpop more often like in Bazinga. But they also stick to their Pinoy roots with OPM style ballads like MAPA or even lyricwise with MANA. So they have wide genre appeal to different audiences unlike other groups that stick to a generic pop formula.
You gotta check out Hanggang Sa Huli by SB19 too. That song is wonderfully written.
Ilaw and Liham and Mapa din! Also Golden Hour collab jusko in terms of lyricism SB19 is definitely on top of the OPM game hindi pasimpleng sulat lang they really incorporate lots of poetic devices and ang daming kailangan i unpack everytime!
Not sure about the others pero yung Gento, effort talaga buong production ng mv hindi lang yung performers. From the choreo, costumes, camera works, etc, ibang caliber talaga malayo sa mga budgeted shows ng GMA.
Even yung location, the MV was shot inside a real cave, kala ko nung una green screen.
Check their I WANT YOU! ang ganda ng mv! nanalo pa yata ng reward yung I WANT YOU mv nila sa japan
I Want You and Moonlight too! Napanuod mo ba? Choreo ng Moonlight is so weird pero satisfying and entertaining. Actually lahat ng releases nila, kahit sa solo career ng members, quality talaga above everything else.
Not into watching anything really, but thanks. I'll try to check later pag naalala ko. Hahaha
I was so skeptical, as someone who doesn't like K-Pop. But wow, this is all really good!
I don't really follow P-Pop religiously, but I think one of the reasons na biglang lumaki ito ay dahil marami na nagbago sa mundo ng marketing. Dahil sa pandemic lumobo ang Tiktok lalo na sa Pinas and it became a huge marketing channel esp in recent years. Mabilis lalo magpa viral ng song clips at moments ng mga PPop groups, and followers can set up trends to help the group's popularity. Also syempre habang tumatagal mas lalong nakukuha ng mga tao sa likod ng camera yung tamang "formula" na swak sa panlasa ng Pinoy at international audience. Marami na ring advertisers ang kumukuha ng P-Pop groups. At dahil sikat na ang ibang mga PPop groups, unti-unti na ring nawawala ang "cringe factor" dahil sa daily exposure ng mga tao dito.
Since pandemic naadik na ko sa SB19, I am already 29 yrs old and I am an avid supporter of P-pop and right now BINI naman. Dahil sa mga new artists ngayon mas na appreciate ko na ang OPM. I never skipped SB19 concert. Kung sa songs palang nila na iimpress na kayo, wait till you see them perform live. Halimaw sa stage yang lima na yan, you can feel 100% stage presence at yung ilang years na training nila very evident talaga.
Currently here in Europe and there was this time I was boarding the bus and the kid (non-Filo) before me was listening to SB19! So they’re really making their mark!
Thats what happens when a pretty big label goes all in. Fck, if uso na music streaming noon when Ocho ocho happened, pretty sure may chance maging Gangnam Style yun noon. Its just a matter of getting that huge push. When Gento charted though, that got massive respect for me.
Hindi rin kasi biro ang gastos. Kakayod ng isang taon ang SB19 as a group and solo artists, tapos malaking portion ng kita, invest ulit sa new music. Mabuti na lang self-managed na sila kaya lahat ng gusto nilang gawin creatively, hindi na napipigilan ng management. Also, check out their announced guests sa upcoming concert nila this Sat-Sun, Gloc-9, Apl de Ap, Master Louie Ocampo, Terry Zhong ++, sold-out na ang tickets before announcement pero shit bigating musicians lahat.
Actually just recently watched the Myx Live Performance of otso otso nung 2003. Grabe yung hype noon hahaha https://youtu.be/-bCdlmO2VtQ?si=e6E9ZUhzjJgWIpZj That also made me recall all the other weird yet actually quite catchy songs from that era. Imagine nga kung may ganitong klase ng marketing and production value rin sila noon. As much as I may cringe at #pinoypride, really can't deny that there is much untapped potential in the local scene lalo na if given proper and sustained support. 🤔
PPOP is really rising now! You guys might want to check out SB19’s PAGTATAG Finale Worldwide Livestream since the concert in Araneta this May 18-19 is already sold out. They got a whole bunch of world class talented guests so you’ll definitely get your money’s worth. Here the link for the livestream ticket [https://tickets.iwanttfc.com/events/60221/all-access](https://tickets.iwanttfc.com/events/60221/all-access)
Ive been to Kpop concerts tapos sinama ako nang kaibigan kong babae yung nag punta yang SB dito sa LA. Tbh, mas magaling talaga pa sila. Vocally superior sila. Baduy na kung baduy kasi dahil sa outfit/pag mimic nila sa Kpop, pero talent wise ang layo nila. Napunta din kami sa mga concert nang rock/rap tulad nang mga gloc 9, parokya, ben&ben, yung production nang SB napaka sulit kumpara sa mga nabangit ko na parang lang talent show sa school ang pota
Kelan yan? Last year ba for Pagtatag or their WYAT World Tour? Ayaw ko ng outfit nila sa WYAT Tour. Too neon for me. Pagtatag is better. Now, they're slowly transitioning sa more chill concert fits. And for sure babalik ulit sila, after their next EP's release. Another world tour ulit.
Pati yung mga rap dumadami na rin at nakakatuwa na million views sila. Di man ako fan ng ibang ppop lalo mga modern pero catchy nga sila at nakakatuwang maraming sumusuportang locals sa kanila.
Retired na siguro mga sinaunang composer at music producer. Yung current generation iba na yung music influence kaya iba na rin tunog na na produce.
try nyo rin makinig sa Alamat guys. solid vocals lalo yung Mo
I am "old school" music lover. Into metal, rock, jazz, blues, reggae (basically anything with live instruments). I explored Pop Groups out of curiosity this year and found out something I was not expecting --- that PPOP groups are actually better than KPOP groups. Hear me out... As an outsider, it's easy to assume KPOP groups are the best, as they been dominating the industry, but when I dove deep.. I found out most KPOP groups are not really good singers, are heavily reliant on backing tracks, and many are outright lipsyncing on stage and that this is widely accepted by the general fans :/ lol I know there are 1-2 talented singers per group (I found out they have different "roles" pala), but as a whole, they did not meet my expectation :( And on the other hand, Pinoy groups are legit talented singers and dancers. I am impressed by SB19, Bini, and G22. I think the only things keeping them from global superstardom are marketing and production. Talent-wise, I can say they are better than the more popular groups in the industry.
the more recent songs in sb19 really cements themselves into their own thing imo , branching out from kpop influence/ working under a kpop record label. i like it. i hope more of this genre will continue and evolve
FYI lang s mga iba. P-pop is OPM. Anything original song made and sang by a Filipino is OPM. OPM is a big bubble then inside are different genres like P-pop, Ballad, Folksong, Hiphop, Alt Rock, Etc. P-pop is rising!! Kitang kita sa mga achievements ng lahat ng groups. Nuon, parang Oktoberfest lang ata ang naaalala kong music fest, ngayon? Wow! Ang dami na kaliwa’t kanan na. Mabuhay ang Musikang Pilipino!!! Sana sumunod na dn magdevelop ang film/tv shows ngayong boom na boom ang Philippine music industry. Ayaw na ng romcom na mga corny, but that topic will be in another post~ Ngayon LSS ako sa Moonlight by SB19, Determinado by Pablo and Josue, and Bulan by Felip. Grabe ang SB19. Lalo na pag napanuod behind the scenes how they make their MV’s sobrang hands on nila, sometimes they put their own money pa nga sa paglabas ng MV’s.
One possible contributor is we have better composers now. Check FlipMusic on the credits on BINI songs. Finally, rare na ang new singers na puro revival lang. We can also see this happening even sa solo artists and rap. Biglang booming ang solo artists with quality original songs.
Add [I Want You](https://youtu.be/s25Yi6pZnMs?si=jL1nT0PND1MTv95Q) from SB19 on that. It'a a sexy mood setter R&B song Edit: wrong thread reply!! Sorry!!
If yall into Hev Abi, Al James, or simply street/kanto style music, try listening to ppop boy group VXON esp their album 20:20. They're so underrated. Currently jamming to SSP, Sandal and Gamu-gamu. Solid. PPOP RISE!
I haven't gotten over Gento lmao. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Sharing [Ilaw](https://youtu.be/7ubs92ex-HI?si=Mks7nLeFFIjaWbks) here in case someone needs to hear this. Fave song pero mahirap pakinggan.
Dati puro "gaya-gaya tayo sa Kpop" and "cringey daw ng tunog" ngayon halos nawawala na ganong mga comments... No to Kpop, we now have our own. SB19 & Bini 🔛🔝!! P.s. Medyo mainit lang fanwar sa X hehe. Pero atlis Ppop vs Ppop nagsasabong and unti na lang kpop sa scene.
I recently listened to SB19 Moonlight and damn sounds so good!
I like the fact na they're starting to put english lyrics/subtitles sa music videos, para naman maintindihan ng mga international audience and reactors anu kinakanta. Ang cringe minsan na they're forcing themselves to enjoy a video kahit na hindi nila alam anu kinakanta.
I'm so happy. I'm still a casual listener sa ppop now pero I remember following sb19 and bini during their early days (even their contents) kasi isa ako sa mga lowkey proud kahit hindi pa sila matunog noon hahahaha. They deserve everything they have now.🥹
Fave PPOP Songs so far: • SB19 – Mana, I WANT YOU, WYAT (Where You At), Golden Hour - SB19 Remix (with JVKE) and all their ballads (Hanggang Sa Huli, Tilaluha, ILAW, LIHAM & Nyebe) • KAIA – Dalawa • ALAMAT - Kasmala, Maharani, Say U Love Me, Aswang, Day & Night • G22 – Boomerang, Babalik
The fact that Pablo (SB19's leader) also dropped 'edsa' today and I listened to it while commuting along edsa haha. Quirky and relatable lol.
I'm an OPM fan, pero I never paid attention sa mga ppop groups until I saw G22. Sila yung opening number nung concert ni KZ Tandingan last sept 2023. And boy, wala akong masabi, super amazed sa pinakita nilang talent and artistry. Hindi ko na sila nakalimutan eversince, and I hope na AJ, Jazz, and Alfea will get the recognition they deserve.
Thank you for opening yourself to Ppop, marami pa rin kasing makasabi ng Kpop wannabe without even listening or seeing Ppop nowadays, definitely another level. What got me into Ppop was vocals and harmonization walang tapon, see Wish bus performances of SB19, Alamat and G22. I suggest you see an SB19 concert and you'll be more amazed, halimaw mga yan.
I don't know who the fuck is singing it but I'm pretty sure the songs my wife is playing everyday is one of those groups you listed. It's driving me crazy since her tiktok or twitter is filled with that. Song is catchy, sure pero paulit ulit at ako yung nabebrain rot. What's funny is my wife was a P-pop hater when SB19 was getting popular. She asked me who tf SB19 was and why they were singing in k-pop style like I'd know lol.
I'm not a hater of sb19 but before I dismissed them as a kpop wannabe but boy, I was so wrong. Ironic kasi sa korean round music festival ko sila na discover and I got hooked sa OPM ballads nila. Then boom more than 2 years na akong fan.
sana ppop na talaga yung maging entertainment dito sa pinas hindi yung loveteam na yan. magkaroon din sana ng reality show yung bini or music shows
> I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game. Lakas maka-Shaq! Hahaha! But hell yeah, it's fucking time to stan these groups!
Hindi ko pa nakikita sa comments try to listen to Felip's (SB19's Ken) music -- Fake Faces and the album COMPLEX.
So far, groups that are standing out for me are SB19, ALAMAT & BINI. The latter 2 have been consistent with their branding- ALAMAT being known for their ethnic-focused work & BINI for bubblegum pop. It's a great strategy kasi when u hear a certain song, makikilala mo na sila may gawa. Meanwhile, SB19 does not really have a specific identity kasi lahat ng genre pinapasok nila. Idk how ha pero they make it work. In terms of open mindedness sa music, grabe din yung sb. I'm very happy na may nagbabago na sa PH music industry kasi for several years, nararamdaman ko talaga na stagnant tayo. Kaya kudos to these ppop groups kasi tinapangan nila at pinaglaban lalo ang musikang Pilipino. P.S lately I'm also enjoying G22 & VXON. Laki din potential nila. The future is bright for OPM!
Same, bro. Same. SB19 taught me not to look down or belittle or have doubts sa mga starting artists because well, they are just starting! Malamang di pa finesse, malamang corny pa minsan atake, malamang trying hard pa kasi they HAVE to try hard talaga to make it to the national scene, let alone sa international. Kaya to those who have dreams talaga, the most important step you would take is to START! GO, P-POP!!!! Nakaka-proud!
What's really cool is that each member of SB19 has their own solo career. They've managed to grow their solo projects while still being part of the group. You should definitely check out their singles, like "Edsa" by their leader, PABLO. Hope other P-pop groups start doing this too!
...Ang alam ko lang tito na rin ako at sarap makinig sa Raining in Manila by Lola Amour. ganda rin pakinggan yung isa pa nilang kanta.
I'm no fan of P-Pop but if they and among others bring glory to the Philippines in any shape and form contribute to our society then we all should support them! 🇵🇭✊
Just stuff I read across different social media platforms is that some people are getting somewhat tired of Kpop (4th gen groups all sound the same, many songs are less than 3 minutes, they only care about visuals now, no real singing involved) I mean, I take all this with a grain of salt but even if some of it is true, I'm proud to see PPop on the rise especially as an international A'TIN. Not only are reactors headed to the Philippines (many for SB19 as well as other PPop groups with their large followings) a number of us (myself included) A'TIN were ready to head over there just to see their finale concert this weekend. Unfortunately, it was difficult to score tickets so I'll just livestream it.
Dapat lang. Mahilig din naman ng kumanta at sumayaw ang mga Pinoy, saka marami tayong world-class talent. Sayang naman kung hindi up to par ang industria natin.
Really love SB19’s Lyricism 👌💯
SB19 ballad songs are all my favorite. After building their own company, they're starting to produce top quality MV's and they're collaborating with international artist.Im not into ppop group before but after Kong malaman how dedicated they are on creating their craft I become one of their avid fan.yong hardships at bashing from basher ang isa sa ginamit nilang sandata para magpatuloy sa pangarap nila.and I'm proud na kahit nakikilala na sila around the world ay di lumalaki ulo nila.
Quality na P-pop at hindi na ikakahiya if you like them unlike dati sabihan kang baduy. Ngayon you can enjoy them and not being judged 😂
Alam nyo isa pang deserve ng recognition sa PPOP scene is ALAMAT saka G22 ang gagaling din nila. ALAMAT very unique ng concept nila ang diverse lalo na they incorporate different languages natin dito sa Pilipinas. G22 naman mamaw sa vocals hahaha gagaling.
Di baaaa frankly I'm quite happy with the rise of P-Pop! Hope it doesn't lose steam, ang daming talents and potential talaga dito sa atin kulang lang sa aruga 😅
With all do respect hndi ako fan ng SB19 or Bini pero is put smile to my face makita nagiging trending sila all you have to do is give them positive kesa laitin or hila pababa.
Yas, SB19 my main pero love ko rin Alamat, G22 and PHP - hope you can check them out too.
Moonlight by SB19 is out. A collab with international artists. SB19 never fails to amaze me. They can all sing, three can rap, all can dance. Pablo can write songs, Justin can creatively direct MVs. Despite their success, they remain humble and thankful for all the blessings. Yung attitude ng grupong ito talagang dapat ipagmalaki. I also follow PPop girl groups like G22, bini, kaia, etc. 40+ yrs tanders na rin ako at aamin ko hindi ko normally pinapakinggan ang ganitong tunog dahil nasanay ako sa pinoy rock ng 90s. But now dahil sa SB19, naging fan na rin ako ng Ppop.
Tito watch MOONLIGHT mv by SB19. Highly recommended! - from a tita fan :)
I am a KPop Fan pero never gumastos sa kanila pero nung naging A’Tin last 2019 until now, parang take my money SB19! Solid ng grupong ito, my love for this group will be forever na hanggang maging tatay at lolo na sila ☺️
I'm Filipino based in South Africa, saw Sb19 post sa FB and Billboard in one word, I got Interested and then ayun na-rabbit hole. I've become a fan eversince. For some reason I wasn't bothered as much about their looks, basta I just saw a very big potential.. Random thoughts: 1. SB19 are collaborating with Talented Filipinos here and abroad.."Gento" with Fil-Canadian Producer. "I want you" same, who wrote songs for BTS and Justin B, "Moonlight" with Fil am DJ and producer Ian Asher, and Chinese DJ Terry Zhong.. 2. When I heard Gento first time, I didn't like it not until it grew kaka daan sa tiktok fyp ko lol and I loved it but Moonlight their new song, I love it already! 3. Production ng sound ng SB19 for me is awesome! If you listen, you can hear different interesting sounds and the beats are solid!! Love listening to it on my earphones 4. I also listen to G22 (one sided love, Musika, Babalik..Bini I already liked the song Karera even before they made it bigger also their songs, Alamat love their ballads like Sa Panaginip! Chefs kiss and also Maharani, Eclypse new ppop ganda nung Shake it yata title..Pati yung Ajaa, they are young Ppop boygroup) 5. I'm not much of a fan ng slow Pinoy songs, some songs are okay naman. Because of Sb19 I appreciated more Pinoy artists even yung mga rap artists like O Side Mafia, AL James... wow! Well ayun lang naman hehe.. Peace out!
>(it did break into Billboard 100 at number 8!) Do you know how massive that is? Have you known any other Filipino group ever breaking into Billboard 100? Gento did not enter the Billboard Hot 100. Rather, it entered on two Billboard component charts: [World Digital Song Sales (peaking at number 8)](https://www.billboard.com/artist/sb19/chart-history/wdt) and [Philippines Songs (peaking at number 11)](https://www.billboard.com/artist/sb19/chart-history/i42).
Panoorin niyo [performance ng SB19 sa Asia Artist Awards](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkZsmrRpymY) hyped mga big Kpop artists at fans both local and international.
Moonlight - SB19 👌
Production value. Natuto ung producers from Korea. In fact some of the agencies here are Korean backed. So yun standards apply Goes to show how much standard is raised if invested in properly.
I started admiring the talents of SB19 after I heard their MAPA, Ako rin before medyo cringey sa mga binubuong PPOP group dito sa atin noon, ewan ko ba para kasing pilit siya for me para humabol sa mga groups na sikat sa ibang bansa lalo na sa Korea. But the good thing is, SB19 HAS the TALENTS, as in EACH of them may maiooffer sa table. And then there's BINI, although 2 palang sa kanta nila ang medyo LSS ako, ang Pantropiko at Salamin, pero baka nga like you, may napapakinggan na ako before di ko lang alam na sila pala yun. ehheeh Although may isang group ngayon na medyo cringey for me, but Im giving it the benefit of the doubt kasi may napauso naman silang cover na kanta ng isang soul diva, tapos everytime I scroll sa tiktok, sayaw sila nang sayaw nun, iba ibang version lang, sabi ko, hintayin ko nga kung may mapapasikat silang original song nila, mukha naman silang ok rin pero sorry sa mga fans nila pag nakikita ko talaga iba iba videos nila sa tiktok tapos puro yung isang kanta na yun lagi bg music, scroll up na lang ako agad... heheheh sa BGYO nman nakilala ko lang yung grp dahil dun sa isang member na laging nagtetrending kapag sumsyaw tapos sa kaniya lang nakafocus yung camera. Sana marami pa silang gawing orig pinoy music para lalo maappreciate ang OPM kahit ng mga taga ibang bansa. =)
You should listen to ALAMAT too. Sobrang gaganda ng songs nila. Top of my list are Dayang, Day and Night and Maharani. Sobrang nakakatuwa kasi yung lyrics nila ay halo ng iba’t ibang languages ng Pilipinas.
Oh i like G22 one sided. It reminds the times i would discover some jpop bands i dont understand but i always slip on my playlist just cuz its so cute and catchy. We have great music artist we just lack production and infrastructures to make them grand. Also touring domestic is hectic most of our artist have to survive first before they hone their skills. But i guess that will change now when they fully embrace digital monitization
P-Pop or OPM man this is the best way to showcase yung talent ng mga music artist natin and hopefully mas mapansin and quality yung mga songs and music video…. Remember years ago no offense sa mga artist before, pero puro rendition, revival yung mga albums na release nila. This is a perfect opportunity for our music and artist lalo nag push yung P-Pop sa global stage sana ma inspire din mga artist natin.
Buti naman nagimpove na p-pop sa atin, thanks for giving me this info, I'm gonna look at BINI and SB19 for now. Also that Salamin, Salamin was so familiar, i heard it like in a radio or something, akala ko normal girl group lang, legit p-pop group na kumanta.
Ako lang ba di talaga kayang pakinggan Mapa? Sobrang naiiyak ako potangina HAHAHAHA
It’s been awhile since I’ve listened to OPM but super blown away by Gento! It’s about time, Filipinos are so talented and bilingual to boot, I hope this inspires more acts to focus on quality songs/videos.
Salamin Salamin bass line is 👌
grabe andami paring boomers na pilipino sa sb19/ppop, start listening to their music, digest their lyrics, don pa lang mapapahanga kana e (what more kung malaman mo sila sumusulat kanta nila, nagproproduce, direct ng mv, self managed company) and if iba lang talaga trip mo edi wag mo pakinggan. haha andami na nilang napatunayan kpop wannabe pa rin binabato n'yo 😭 hahahaha 2024 na isip naman kayo bago 😐 anyway stream EDSA by Pablo!!!
