“Grabe yung emotion tapos akala namin umiiyak ka. Pero nalalaro mo lang pala ‘yung emotions habang kumakanta ka,” Stell commented.

“Yun talaga nagpatalikod saakin kasi, to be honest with you, hindi perfect ‘yung performance. Merong mga flats here and there, merong mga pitchy notes. Pero, naramdamanan ko ‘yung kanta eh. Kumbaga naka connect ako sa’yo dahil napadama mo saakin ‘yung sakit. So, ang galing-galing mo sa part na ‘yun,” Pablo shared.
