ok crazy how gary valenciano actually started out in the 80s as well and was already dubbed the mj of the philippines by that time. literally rose to fame by '82-83 just as mj began soaring to new heights of stardom
#i always thought he started in the '90s???#but apparently REALLY was like. THE mj of the philippines. literally parallel to that guy in every way#bar the mania i guess ppl were just like 'omg he's real good his songs r great then he moves like that guy owning america rn..twinning'#but i could be wrong maybe they were insane over him too. idk the info i'm getting is so lacking not much articles around that time#plausible i guess given the icon status he has now. maybe more heavily around late '80s to 90s but idk#wanna make a post comparing gary's heavily mj-inspired works bc wow the similarities...interesting#& then his original works are crazy good too. he's insane#DI BALE NA LANG KAYAA ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ#rambles#u can develop an interest over a legendary pop icon. but watch out#i need to talk to old ppl. why r most of the old ppl i know so condescending or ignorant or just very very grumpy#edit: ok. the day after i post this he just sang man in the mirror on asap. okay. :|#i hvae psychic powres /j#lmao u could see him trying not to go all-out-mj w/his moves & vocals bc he had other singers singing with him#ok genuinely?? he's so cool. & not just bc i'm having this new epiphany regarding his connection to mj i've always thought he was so cool#but well i *am* seeing this in a new light. how he essentially started trying to emulate mj vibes as he's always compared to him & is#very inspired by him. but he's also emitting this unique light of his own that can't be compared to mj too#mj of the philippines yes. but first he's THE gary valenciano. :) so so cool#& omg darren!! hi!!!! i adore him. idk if my memory just sucks but i knew when he was little he sang a cover of i'll be there by j5 & i#listened to that version all the time when i was little too. now idk where it went :( i can't find it anywhere. it seemed like a studio#recording so maybe it's in one of his kid albums. idk i'll hunt the whole of this planet just to find it again :'(
