gary valenciano inside pda
The peak of the day was when Gary Valenciano visited to give the scholars some motivation and inspiration. He talked to them about the differences between impressing and expressing oneself as a performer, that they should reach out to their audience and not just perform to impress. He also talked about seasons in one's life, of how everyone's season will come. He inspired the scholars not to lose hope even if they don't win because their time to shine will come in God's time.
Gary V related his stories as a performer for 25 years, how he started and how he coped up with the ups and downs of being a performer, his influences that include Michael Jackson, Al Jarreau, and James Ingram. According to him, "lessons will come in big and small ways, and it has to be learned."
He requested Van, Apple and Bugoy to sing. Van sang Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore, Apple did Come In From the Rain, and Bugoy made his own rendition of the Gary V original Lead Me Lord before Billy Crawford came in for the Uberture live episode.
