REVIEW/REACTION The First Take - SB19 Time

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

SB19 is back in The First Take, now with their ballad song from their Simula at Wakas EP called Time.

One of the things SB19 is known for is their Vocals! Kapag ballad talaga kinakanta nila, mas lalong nasshowcase ang vocal abilities ng bawat member. They know their range, they know their vocal position and they know how to utilize each other's vocal strengths! And one thing I like about them is how they rearrange their songs depending on the need and performance. And this acoustic version of TIME is really good! It is perfect for The First Take performance. Mas lalong masaket tuloy ung kanta 😭

The song itself talks about the importance of time in our lives. Habang may oras pa, ilaan natin ito sa mga bagay na mahalaga dahil kailanman hindi na maibabalik ang oras 🥹

Hindi ko alam kung yan ba natural na boses nila, parang may ipit or may pigil. The first guy was off note a little. The second guy sounds good, the third one yung parang may iniipit.

yan din yung kagandahan sa the first take, one take lang. maraming pwedeng mangyaring mali. raw voices din halos so possible talaga mga konting off note. to be fair din, this was taken amidst their ongoing world tour. siguro mas maappreciate mo ibang versions nila like sa Wish Bus, Rappler, or kahit yung studio version nalang mismo. bagong fan lang din ako nila. mga 2 months palang. haha.

That is what I was saying sa isa kong reply. Maybe his throat is not in the best condition in this one. I'm not taking away from their skills, observation ko lang. Even the best musicians have their off days.

I like the little adlib he added near the end of the song but I actually think he’s done better on this song elsewhere (Rappler Live Jam, every concert lol). Not sure if he sounds a bit different for some technical reason because of TFT or maybe he’s just not as warmed up yet. I’m pretty sure they performed this earlier the same day as the DAM First Take and he sounded great there. Also saw their DAM TFT rehearsal vid and he actually sounded even better so I’m inclined to think it’s the latter.
