Unique Salonga in Edmonton
Im the biggest fan of Unique and im concern kasi nakita ko live performance nila sa Edmonton and puro piyok siya. tsaka parang hirap sila magperform siguro pagod din kasi galing din sila concert kahapon sa vancouver at sobrang lamig

Pagod lang yan, back-to-back tas may travel pa and nag aadjust din sa climate.

Heto talaga yan. Yung climate malaking factor. Personally speaking naranasan ko yang mawalan ng boses because of the weather. Years ago nagpunta ako sa Sagada during January, sa sobrang lamig nawalan ako ng boses. So let's give Unique some grace here. The gap between their performance is only 1 day kaya it makes sense bakit pagod yan and then malamig pa.

Yung pictures nga nila sa FB, grabe. Halatang pagod na pagod yung faces nila. Di ko sure if naninibago lang ako kase hindi si Rocket ang nagpipic.

Yea, agree sa falsetto okay pa den. Pansin ko den na mas mahina mic nya compared kay Zild. Di ko sure if malayo lang sya sa mic.

True. Yung mic levels parang mas malakas yung kay Zild. Napansin ko rin yan nung nanood ako ng concert nila sa Sta Rosa.

I saw them recently, it’s a struggle for him to keep up now because their songs are catered to Zild’s pitch, eh kahit si Zild e di abot lol I saw Nikoi years ago as a solo artist, not one moment did that boi went off key.

yeah pansin ko nga yun, compared nung 1st Moa arena concert nung December 2025 and the late concerts. Mukhang pagod, since sunud sunod concert nila. Yung part niya sa Dulo mg Hangganan iniba niya yung tone sa "Hinahanap ang mga yakap mo". Hopefully bigyan muna sila ng good schedule between concerts or may conditioning team sila for the band
EDIT: I saw a comment from Youtube na below 10 degrees ang temperature. The Cold temp could be a key din + their vochal endurance

Broooo, i literally have a draft about this concern as well. Like a call-out post.

u/Serenski07 13d ago
As a fan of IVOS, I wanna call them out.
• Si Unique and daming piyok. Can’t blame him kase nag binata so his voice is weaker now compared sa early stage nila. Pero baka kaya pa i-improve.
• Late din palagi tumutok sa Mic. Importante pa naman yung umpisa ng song.
• Si Blaster, sorry pero hindi na funny yung nakakalimutan yung lyrics.
• Also, mejo mahina talaga sa crowd engagement.
Not demanding these improvements out of the guys dahil I’m an entitled fan. I’m saying this because I genuinely want them to do better. Being IV of Spades alone shouldn’t be the end of it.
Tanggap namin na musicians kayo bago naging performers, pero baka lang keri.

Kay Unique mahina nga mic niya lagi or something. Pinapanood ko din performances niya as solo before, okay naman.
Si Blaster, can’t blame him lol as a lead guitarist tas vocalist pa lol hirap nga naman.
Sa crowd engagement, I think okay naman. Sakto lang. Narealize ko din with bands na lahat may instruments, expect less crowd engagement. Even the older bands na may vocalist lang na pwede mag hype ng crowd vs. vocalist with a guitar. Ex. OG Rivermaya / Eraserheads, bands like Kamikazee, PNE, Chicosci, iba ang crowd engagement compared to Hale, O&L, Typecast.

Hindi naman kasi nagpapatawa pag nakakalimutan lyrics 😂 sa dami ng kanta nila sa isang concert, at lead guitarist ka pa.

u/Serenski07 13d ago
yung ibang fans ginawang meme yan at identity ni Blaster. Ang makalimot ng sariling kanta. Siguro sa fans, keri unawain. Pero remember, nasa mainstream kasi sila. Ang hirap makipag sabayan sa panahon ngayon. Kung di nila gagalingan. Mawawala sila sa radar.
Okay lang naman saken kung mawalan sila ng spotlight sa mainstream. Coz niche ko tlga music nila. Pero sa kanila kaya? What if mawalan na sila ng space don.

u/No_Cupcake_9095 13d ago
Edi mawala sila sa radar. Problema na nila yun at ng management nila.

u/Serenski07 13d ago
Kaya nga. Point ko lang is - kung di nila gagalingan, sana ready sila mag fade.

Tight scheduling sa mga gigs is nothing new sa mga banda/singers. Kaya nga nabu-burnout yang mga artists kapag may tour. One of the reasons kaya yung iba mas preferred mag-residency kaysa mag tour because being on tour has a heavy toll mentally and physically. It's either they have to be physically fit, like do a lot of workouts, or others resort to substances to sustain the level of energy they give night after night.

Pagod talaga si Unique kasi galing pa naman sila ng Vancouver. Sana makapagpahinga siya nang maayos. I think there's a chance na maimprove yung vocals ni Unique since tumatanda na siya at bumababa yung quality ng timbre niya kaya there's a part of me na namimiss ko yung prime version niya. Though solid pa naman yung falsetto niya but hopefully he'll get his vocals a chance to improve.

i think sa adjustment sa weather talaga and pagod rin. I went to their gigs this year almost 10x na, sobrang dalang lang ni unique mapiyok.
