Mark Bautista defended Sarah Geronimo in a viral post of a netizen who criticized the Popstar for altering some lyrics of the song ‘Good Luck, Babe’.
Sarah sang the song recently on ASAP Natin ‘To.
“The lyric changes? E ‘di sana ‘di ka na lang nag-cover ng kanta ng isang lesbian singer kung ‘di mo irerepesto ‘yung lyrics,” one netizen wailed
To this, Mark reacted, saying, “Nothing wrong with this. Most Singers do this to feel authentic when they do their own version. It has to align with their truth. It’s not to undermine the composer or the original message of the song.”
Fans of Sarah also defended the singer.
“PAG KUMAKANTA KA NG LIVE AT IPAPALABAS SA TV MNSAN NEED TLGA IBAHIN O BAGUHIN UNG LYRICS KAGAYA NG ERE NI JUAN CARLOS KINANTA SA ASAP PINALITAN UNG LYRICS KASI BAWAL IPALABAS SA TV DAHIL MAY BAD WORD.”
“Dpa ba cila maapreciate na kinanta ng isang kilalang singer ang kanilang kanta..hiyang hiya nmn c Sarah sa kanila ui.”
“So pag kumanta ang lalake ng “Reflection”, yung kanta sa Mulan, he cannot change the noun girl to boy or man? O, kumusta naman ang version ni James Ingram sa A Natural Woman ni Aretha Franklin? So he is to be persecuted din for changing the word woman to man? What special type or kind of entitlement do these people demand ba? FYI. Isn’t it that the LGBTQIABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ+- has an infinite number of titles depending on what they want and they have even twisted the English grammar with these appalling never heard before pronouns?” (NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
