Belle Mariano was overjoyed after receiving high praise from Regine Velasquez-Alcasid for her new single. In an Instagram post on Monday, Regine complimented Belle’s song and her voice.
“Wow, what a beautiful song and voice,” posted Regine.
Belle expressed her gratitude to Regine, clearly overwhelmed by the compliment.
Many netizens, as well as Belle’s fans, also thanked Regine for her kind words.
In a recent interview, Belle shared her disbelief at being noticed by the OPM veteran. She mentioned that she has developed a close relationship with Regine because of their involvement in ‘ASAP.’ She even sought advice from Velasquez regarding singing.
“Oh my gosh! Actually nakita ko po ‘yon 12 midnight. Tumakbo po ako sa mom ko. Sabi ko, ‘Oh my gosh pinost ni Ate Reg, hindi ako makapaniwala.’ Like grabe, sobra, she’s one of my inspirations when it comes to music. Grabe to be praised by Ms. Regine, my gosh, thank you so much,” Belle said.
“Several times actually whenever we perform sa ‘ASAP’ po… This one instance na I was given the chance to interview her, I asked for advice like how do you get the confidence on stage, siyempre hindi maiiwasan na magkakaroon tayo ng stage fright,” she recalled.
“Si Ate Reg po kasi super approachable niyang tao as in siya ‘yung hinihingian ko ng advice when it comes to music talaga like sa ‘ASAP.’ Kunwari may performance kami together, oh my gosh si Regine Velasquez ba naman makaka-perform mo siyempre I’ll ask advice from her na ‘Ate Reg paano ba ito?’ Sa ganoon naging close na po kami,” she added.
With excitement, Belle revealed her hopes of having Regine become a part of her upcoming concert ‘Beloved’ at the New Frontier Theater on Saturday, July 22.
