@RachelL1963@ABSCBNNews nakita ko din tong “sold-out” daw eh. kung SO naman talaga, bigyan nyo naman ng spotlight yung mga bumili ng tickets kaso pinadilim nyo sila sa likod.. kulang na lang alisin sila sa picture eh, sila na nga reason bakit natuloy concert nyo tsk HAHAHAHA 😂
Hindi talaga ako mahilig sumali sa fanwars. Tahimik lang akong nagfa-fangirl sa SB19. Pero kapag obvious na puro hate na lang at binabalewala ang talent nila, don't expect me to stay quiet.
You don't have to like them, but you can't deny their skills. Facts over fandom. 🤷🏻♀️
I respect that everyone will have a different opinion, but I honestly think “underwhelming” is a bit of a stretch. They came out firing from the very first song, packed the set with hype, choreography, powerhouse live vocals (hello Filipino throat chakra 😅), Filipino culture, and even premiered a brand new song. Their outfits weren’t just costumes either - they were thoughtfully designed to showcase Filipino craftsmanship and heritage. And as for the production, it’s Lollapalooza, not a solo concert. Festival artists have pretty limited control over the stage itself. Could they have chosen different songs? Sure. We all have our dream setlists. But saying it felt like it was only for existing fans is hard for me to agree with when they clearly used that set to showcase so many different sides of who they are.
@HaneulDi louuuuuder!! 📣 hindi din ako mapagpatol sa mga ganito eh pero kung ganyan sila magdouble standard sa bawat artists at lakas loob pang pinost ng MAJOR FANPAGE like whuuut!? it only explains bakit ganyan ang karamihan sa kanila. so last ng patol to kasi sayang effort pala 👀
This is probably the first and last time I’ll respond to this because I don’t like fan wars. But I also don’t like seeing misinformation and selective narratives being pushed.
What I find ironic is how some people are now preaching about “not expecting a huge crowd” and “festivals being a platform for introduction,” when those exact considerations were not given to SB19 during Lolla.
After their set, many of you mocked the crowd size, laughed at the open-field setup, made comments like “buti na lang naka-tent ang Mojave,” and even dragged engagement numbers just to discredit their achievement. Those posts were public. They happened.
So please don’t act as if this narrative suddenly came out of nowhere. What’s happening now is simply people remembering how SB19 was treated.
If the belief is that festivals are meant for exposure, that every artist starts somewhere, and that even five supporters are enough to give your best performance, then why wasn’t that same grace extended to SB19? Why was their first major festival appearance reduced to crowd jokes and engagement comparisons?
No one should be mocked for performing on a global stage. Not SB19. Not BINI.
The difference is this: if BINI performs at Summer Sonic and the crowd is smaller than expected, I will not mock them. I will not laugh at them. I will not use attendance numbers to invalidate their milestone because I refuse to do what your fandom has done to SB19.
You cannot ridicule another artist for the same situation and then ask everyone for understanding when it becomes your turn.
Support BINI all you want. Celebrate every achievement they earn. But please stop rewriting history to make it seem like we attacked first. Many of us stayed quiet while our artists were being mocked. This is simply a response to the double standard that was created.
Support your artists. Celebrate your milestones. But don’t encourage kindness only when it’s your favorites on the receiving end. The same respect you ask for today should have been given to others yesterday.

I've been trying to stay silent, but I've had enough.
SB19 performed with the sun literally blasting into their faces. No lighting director can control that. They were squinting, sweating, dancing full-out, and still singing louder than their backtracks.
Go stand outside at 3 PM facing the sun. Sing. Dance. Try to keep your eyes open and stay on pitch. FOR AN HOUR!
Only then can you compare that performance to one in a shaded venue with cooler temp, controlled lighting, props, and louder backtracks.
"Pumiyok daw?"
Even the best live performers crack sometimes. That's what happens when you actually sing louder live instead of hiding behind loud backtracks. SB19 has never been afraid to let people hear their real vocals.
Stell? He was still belting those signature high notes under the blazing heat. Filipino throat chakra, indeed. Kung ano boses nila sa mga tiktok covers, ganun din sa actual perf.
The choreography didn't disappear either. They were still hitting synchronized routines, jumps, and high-energy moves while singing live. That's not easy under normal conditions, let alone under DIRECT sunlight.
Hindi naman sobrang init? Aware ba kayo na may nahimatay sa audience? not just one but 2! I mean just think...
Lastly, the crowd wasn't handed to them. It built up naturally throughout the set coz people stayed, watched, and got louder with every song. No fancy props needed, the live vocals, choreography, charisma, Stell's brazillian dance, and crowd engagement were more than enough.
You don't have to like SB19. But if you're going to compare performances, compare them under the same conditions. Otherwise, you're comparing comfort to endurance.
