Why Jed Madela believes Pinoys are among the world's best singers

"Cebuanos have a high standard for entertainment because the majority of good singers are from Cebu, and that's why the standards are so high," Madela observed.

"You need to have that certain factor to win their hearts. That's why it's a challenge for us artists. Instead of letting that eat me up whenever I perform here, I make it a goal to have a successful concert in Cebu. If you can capture the heart of Cebuanos, that's a sign that you are a good performer."

Madela also agreed with the internet's sentiment that Filipinos are indeed good singers. He cited his experience in the World Championships of Performing Arts, where Filipino singers, whether competing for the Philippines or representing other countries, had the edge. He noted Fil-Austrian singer JJ, the latest winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, as an example.
