When it comes to the land of singers, who could’ve missed the Philippines? Everywhere you go, there could be someone out there, a Filipino who can sing the house down! From singing competitions to a random birthday party, throw in the microphones, and you’ll find a Pinoy outsinging you at every turn! From belting out songs like ‘Listen’ to recent massive hits like Juan Karlos’s ‘Ere,’ you know darn well a little Pinoy kid can belt it out.
Speaking of vocals, the rising P-Pop community boasts its pride and hidden treasures yet to be discovered. For those who might not know anything about P-Pop, this might be the perfect reason for them to delve down the rabbit hole. And for those who have been following P-Pop closely, some of these talents may not be new to their ears; they may be delighted that, finally, their vocal prowess is yet to be highlighted.
Here’s a list of live vocals from P-pop idols that are worthy to be noticed:
9. KAIA
KAIA, a 5-member girl group, has recently dropped their latest track, “You Did It”. Known for their versatility, their music spans across various genres, appealing to a wide audience.
With powerful and melodic vocals, KAIA is here to prove that they can and this performance serves as a testament to their vocal prowess and determination.
8. RJI OF ALAMAT
You know a song has been sung in singing competitions several times when you already expect what approach the singer will take next. Sometimes, it may still sound repetitive to to hear it anywhere, but Rji proved he can still leave people in awe. With his wide vocal range, both high and low, he cements himself as one of the best vocalists in the P-Pop industry.
Some of y’all are sleeping on Rji’s range!! Sobrang versatile nya as a singer, he can rock almost all genres 🫵🏻😭pic.twitter.com/02ZjgHj87a

7. POSTE-LINE OF BINI (MAJHOLET)
In every group, there is someone that their group members can lean on, be it in performing or anything else. In the case of BINI, as performers who both sing and dance, the three members, Jhoanna, Maloi, and Colet, are called the “Poste-line” of the group.

They are the ones that people can lean on, especially in terms of vocals. When these three come together, you can hear how their voices complement each other, creating a spectacle where none outshines the other, but rather, they blend seamlessly, avoiding any sense of being forced or unnatural.

While Anne Curtis is known for stealing the scene, Mo is a master at using different tones like head tone, falsettos, and chest voice, all while keeping the quality of his performance top-notch. He doesn’t sacrifice the quality of one for the sake of impressing; it’s never been a concern for him. Mo is there to tell a story and applies proper belt in the song only when necessary.

5. ALAMAT
If you were an avid watcher of The Voice Philippines before, you know damn well the coaches would instantly turn around when they hear a good quality low register. With ALAMAT, I know for sure that these coaches would instantly turn around. More than their stable vocals, what amazes people with their voices is their soothing low registers. They don’t sound like they’re losing breath just to reach a low note; they can execute it well while still sounding good altogether.
damn them filipino niggas can sing bro oh my god??? and one of them a nigga like me too!!! my homie told me they called alamat like okay i see you niggas they cute as hell. i fuck with the alamat meal 😍😍 pic.twitter.com/Lk51hPfL34
