Daniel defends his ‘unique’ singing voice
Daniel Padilla admits he’s no singer, but that doesn’t mean he shies away from recording an album or even from holding a concert. In fact, he got a double platinum award for his debut album, “Hinahanap-hanap Kita.”
The teen heartthrob is proud of his unique singing voice, even if he got negative comments for his version of the song “Nasa ‘Yo Na Ang Lahat.”
“Okay lang. Actually, sa akin kasi wala namang kaya gumaya ng boses ko eh. Hindi ako singer pero unique ang boses ko. Kaya okay lang,” Daniel said during the press conference for his birthday concert at the ABS-CBN compound on Thursday, April 11.
Daniel is aware many people, even fellow celebrities, mock his singing voice.
“Sabi ko nga hindi man sa ako ay nagyayabang, kasi may kapwa ako artista hindi taga dito sa ABS-CBN na inaasar yung boses ko. Gusto ko sabihin, ‘Bakit may double platinum ba kayo?'’ Kasi ako, oo. Pero huwag na lang natin pag-usapan iyon. Pabayaan natin iyon,” he said.

He admits he feels more confident as an actor even after receiving his platinum award. The star also belongs to a band called Parking 5.
“Unang una, hindi naman po talaga ako singer. Pero ginagawa ko ang lahat para maayos ko ang pagkanta ko. Pero kung papipiliin ako ay huwag na lang po. Masaya din po ako na may career akong isa hindi ba? Salamat na lang at binigyan ako ng konting talent sa pagkanta,” he said.
Comparisons with Bieber
And while he is grateful for being compared to international young star Justin Bieber, Daniel thinks their kind of music is totally different.
“Salamat pero hindi ako nakikinig ng ganoon. Kasi talagang old soul ako, ayaw ko ng ganoong music. More on luma talaga 'yung gusto ko pero hindi dahil sa hindi ko siya gusto. Gusto ko rin naman siya bilang tao, okay siya.”
The teen heartthrob will hold his “Daniel Live: A Birthday Concert” at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on April 30. Tickets are reportedly almost sold-out.
Daniel thanked his supporters for trusting him.
