History

[edit]

Initial interation

[edit]

The program premiered on March 6, 1998, with comedian Allan K. and beauty queen Kristine Florendo as hosts.

The show's mechanics were simple – the contestants must know the right lyrics to any randomly chosen song, be it Filipino or foreign, without going out of tune. If the contestant fails to sing the right lyrics and in tune, an animated genie would pop up on the screen and strike an animated gong to signal the end of the unfortunate aspirant's chance at instant wealth and glory.

After a few months, ABC chose comedian extraordinaire Ai-Ai delas Alas to replace Florendo as Allan K.'s co-host. It was a serendipitous choice – Ai-Ai and Allan were best friends and they had perfect chemistry. The show was a big success during the incumbency of this team which lasted a long time. It was the "golden era" for Sing Galing.

When Allan K. had to leave for the competing program All-Star K! on GMA Network, John Lapus replaced him. Delas Alas and Lapus took Sing Galing to a new level; the title and mechanics were altered. Sing Galing the Trio-Oke Showdown, the tweaked version, premiered on March 20, 2004.

Instead of four individual contestants vying for the "Videoke Singing Star of the Night" title, the new Sing Galing had three groups with three members each to compete in the elimination round. The trio must have something in common – like the same occupation. They could be a group of beauticians, clerks or drivers and so forth. In the elimination round, the three members of each group will take turns in singing a portion of the song assigned by the pachinko machine.

It wasn't long before the show would lose Ai-Ai as her mother network ABS-CBN suddenly invoked an exclusivity clause in their contract. By that time, she was doing the TV adaptation of Ang Tanging Ina which was aired along this program, apart from this were her other commitments with the network. ABC retaining John Lapus, however, and acquiring Pops Fernandez, who used to star in a self-titled musical variety show P.O.P.S. (Pops On Primetime Saturday) on ABC in the early 1990s, to co-host with John. On October 9, 2004, Fernandez and Lapus gave a new spin to Sing Galing which then became Sing Galing ni Pops.[3][4]

2021 revival

[edit]

In 2021, it was revealed that the show would be revived as a blocktimer on TV5 by Cignal Entertainment with Cornerstone Studios as a line producer on April 5, replacing APT Entertainment-produced game shows Fill in the Bank and Bawal na Game Show.[5]
