Keri na sana yung Les Mis spinoff pero panay elitista kumanta eh.
Talagang to the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
A song of the French unwashed masses, the poor, the wretched, the hungry, sung with such raw, middle-class power (complete with lipstick by Agot).
If you really really strained to feel it—depending on the potency of your imagination—you will hear the fury, the hunger, the suffering, the abject poverty, the madness of the mob. You can see it in their beautifully madeup faces, especially Pinky Amador’s pak na pak makeup.
Too bad they didn’t get actual poor Filipinos to join their video, aesthetically speaking it would’ve been more poignant, no? But then it wouldn’t be disente, if the IPs were there, the Muslims, and you know, just a diverse group of Filipinos who didn’t belong to a performance group.
Maybe they could’ve gotten the entire Philippines to join in, like tribal groups who’ve been suffering under Duterte, Mindanaoans who hated the Martial Law he put them under, ganon, it would’ve really made an impact. Aesthetically, you know. It’s hard to relate to a bunch of people who look like they’re glammed up in a studio, singing the songs of angry men.
The song is a bad choice, though, historically speaking. The original song is set after the French Revolution, and was called the June revolution. Unfortunately, the citizens of Paris weren’t keen to join this rebellion. Lacking popular support, the June rebellion was crushed barely 24 hours later, leaving as many as 800 revolutionaries dead and wounded.

Seriously, who conceptualized this piece of shit by these 'effin elitistas?
Sira ulo ba kayo ha Angel, Enchong, Jim, Agot, Bituin, Liza, etc?
Yang tagalog version ng kinakanta nyo (Originally "Do you hear the people sing" from Les Miserables) eh kanta ng MAHIHIRAP, hindi ng mga PAHIRAP na katulad nyo.
Mga HINDOT!
Pota, halatang halata talaga ang pagka out of touch nyo sa realidad,
and puro kayo kaputahan.
Imbes na sympathy, lalu nyo lang pinapakita sa taumbayan kung gano talaga ang kakapal ng mukha nyo na isipin nyo na you are representing us...
Kinginanyo ulet.
