07:43The other comment that we watched, because we watched you, you were singing with other people. Nasa level ka na, you're so generous. Hindi ka nag-aagaw ng eksena. He's so generous.
08:05Pag kailangan mag-feel, nag-feel ka lang. Pag kailangan ikaw mag-solove, that was something. That's a real sign. It's all about the music, it's not about you. You're humble. It's not about making pasikat, it's about making the music sound good.
08:23Speaking of pasikat, he wants to make pasikat, a photo with you.
08:27That's his theme now, right?
08:29Wow, that was terrific.
