    Great job Kyla! It’s how the anthem should be sung: no belting “diva” and “curly” notes. I’d like to mention also that I shudder at the thought that one day Regine Velasquez will screamingly destroy the hymn… yaiks. hope not!

  2. koyumad Says:

    thanks kyla! sa wakas may kumanta ng national anthem ng tama! at least nakakasabay ang lahat habang kumakanta ka.

  3. lela Says:

    Tama kayo. tama na ang pambababoy ng Lupang Hinirang. Hindi naman kasi dapat binibirit ang pambansang awit eh. Hindi porke magaling ka bumirit eh maganda na ang pagkanta mo!
    Nice one Kyla.

  4. Winston Says:

    Kudos! Fantastic and Superb! Kyla is the very first artist to deliver our National Anthem the right way…. Gives me shiver all over…. She was smiling from the very first word till the end which is the proper emotion for the song since you are making a pledge by singing it…. Rich Alvarez would be very very proud! not only him, but the whole country as well…. National Anhtem pa lng, panalo na tyo!!!!

  8. Rey Says:

    They’ve said it but I’ll say it again…
    That’s exactly how a national anthem should be sang.
    Dapat si Kayla na lagi ang kakanta ng Lupang Hinirang sa mga international events.

  9. emma Says:

  13. Andrew Says:

    What more can I say? Aside from Manny, you were also the other “hero” in that event, Kyla. Thank you for not fooling around with the melody of our national anthem. You have given it the respect that it truly deserves. Thanks for sticking to your promise.

    Tatlong bagsak para kay Kyla! *Klap* *Klap* *Klap* :)

  14. alicia Says:

    ang ganda ng pagkakanta ni Kyla ng lupang hinirang hindi katulad ni Sarah Geronimo na pa birit birit di namn dapat ibirit ang pambansang awit e!!!Kinanta ni Kyla the way it is supposed to be sung

  15. iRa Says:

    simpleng simple di ba… hindi na kailangan pahirapan yung sarili sa pagbirit gaya ng ginagawa nung ibang kumanta dati.. pumipiyok naman… tsk.. galing mo kyla asteeg ka talaga..

  16. dylan Says:

    kyla sang it correctly pero to describe her para siyang batang bungisngis na kumakanta sa harap ng kanyang nanay at tatay. para talagang bata…but still good vocal

  17. dylan Says:

    note: Lea Salonga was the first and the only artist who had sang the National Anthem correctly.(Regine was incorrect but her rendition was the most heartfelt and applauded(given a standing ovation) and noted to be the greatest Lupang Hinirang singer.)

    …not Kyla.

    and tualy kyla is just one of those who sang it na nauna sa kanya.Im sure alam niya na kung ano ung tama at hindi dpat gwin sa National Anthem.honestly, this performance is just okay..not good not bad.

  18. robbie Says:

    kontrabida naman ‘tong si dylan! ang ganda na ng moment eh. napaka-cyinical! Anyway, KYLA rocks!!!

  19. Emman Says:

    Dapat lahat ng recording artist na nagkamali i-maglay-lo muna sa mga concert
    nila.. nakakahiya! ang galing kumanta sa concert pero pagdating sa
    sariling awitin lalong lalo sa pambansang awit pumaltos!
    may shortcut, may nag-ala diva!

    nakaka hiya!

    KUDOS TO KYLA!

  24. felix jimenez Says:

    Although I was not able to watch and hear how Kyla sang the national anthem,,, i think she did a good job….Regine may also do better than what Kyla did…I hope She’ll be chosen again to sing for our country….

  25. qwerty Says:

    Regine? are you kidding? titili lang ng titili yan!

  26. filipina in germany. Says:

  27. tirya Says:

    kyla sang it very very very well. Bow!

  28. Kent Says:

    Talagang kahanga hanga ang pag awit ni Kyla ng Lupang Hinirang sa Pacquiao-Barrera Rematch. I agree with the National Historic Institute and what other critics say about Kyla’s way of singing. Tamang tama. Her confidence and smiling-factor add up to her performance. Congrats Kyla! You’re a winner too!

  29. kelly Says:

    ayos rin ito. kaso lang parang kaklase ko lang siya, lam mo yun. Wala lang, kinanta lang, parang sa flag ceremony namin sa school dati. Well, at least nasa tono siya and tama ang lyrics, unlike christian bautista.

  30. qwerty Says:

    Eh ganun naman dapat talaga eh. Di naman diva concert yun eh. Nasanay ka lang sa mga biritan at tilian at sapawan ng boses na pinauso ni Regine.

  31. kitchie Says:

    hay naku we’re not impressed coz its obvious na may kaba si kyla at parang di serious sa pag-awit di tulad nung kay Sarah THE BEST TALAGA! sabi nung host Lupang Hinirang pa lang PANALO na! sorry comment lang naman po. that’s my opinion.

  32. ayan Says:

    superb superb superb kyla….d best…. sarah did also good but the thing is parang “nagpasikat” lang xa kasi iniba nia ung tono…d aq fan ni kyla but when I heard her singing d national anthem fan mu na aq naun…..

  33. ayan Says:

    kitchie are you deaf? i think you really dont have the knowledge in singing…

  34. ayan Says:

    nga pala “c sarah ba? hello she’s not even good in biritan in fact wala xang ORIGINALITY kasi gnagaya nia c celine dion, regine v.. at marami pa… at sa ilong nga lmalabas boses nia eh parang me sipon lagi hahahahah

  35. ayan Says:

    as youve said KANYA KANYANG OPINION YAN and that is my opinion.peace

  36. vangee-lat Says:

    you are all deaf. do you think she is singing it nicely coz she sang it the simple way? you’re nuts. they should have asked a student to sing it. charice pempengco could have sang it way better than her. what a shame.

  37. Gwen Says:

    D kami bingi, yes Kyla sang it nicely and correctly, anu kina aasar nyo?

  38. jineL Says:

    yes… KYLA ur quite Fantastic… u did a good performance..as well frm Before…

  39. kuracha Says:

  40. angelz5254 Says:
