Maraming tagahanga ni Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez ang nag-alala sa kanyang kalagayan nang ibahagi niya ang napagdaanang anxiety habang siya'y nagpe-perform.
Sa kanyang post sa X noong February 19, 2026, ikinuwento ng misis ni Ogie Alcasid ang naramdaman niyang nerbiyos sa araw ng concert ng American singer-songwriter na si Josh Groban, noong February 18.
Isa siya sa celebrity guests sa concert.

Ani Regine, sa sobrang pagkabalisa noong araw na iyon ay nakalimutan niyang kumain bago ang concert.
Mababasa sa kanyang post, "It was wonderful and an honor to sing with Josh Groban last night, but I was so nervous.
"I was so anxious the whole day I forgot to eat."

Hindi raw ito ang unang beses na makaramdam ng kakaiba ang Asia's Songbird pagdating sa kanyang pagtatanghal.
Noong mga nakaraan ay hirap din daw siyang makapag-pokus sa Kapamilya musical-variety show na ASAP.
Ibang-iba raw ito sa karaniwang excitement at saya niya sa tuwing siya ay nagpe-perform on stage.

Inisip na lang daw ni Regine na maaaring parte ito ng kanyang pagtanda.
Gayunpaman, hindi raw niya maikakailang ang mga pagbabagong ito ay "heartbreaking" para sa kanya.
Saad niya (published as is), "Lately every single performance for me is such a struggle even doing ASAP. And it used to excite me a source of joy but now it give me so much anxiety.
"I still LOVE singing I do but performing on stage………maybe it’s part of getting old I don’t know. But it’s kinda of heartbreaking."
Fans quick to flood Regine's post with encouragement
Maramimg netizens, partikular na ang mga masugid na tagahanga at kapwa singer ni Regine ang nagbigay sa kanya ng suporta.
Komento ni Darren Espanto sa kanyang post, "We love you, Mama Reg!"
Mensahe ni Julie Anne San Jose, "Love you always ateee."
"You’re great! Try not to overthink," pam-boost pa na saad ni Zsa Zsa Padilla.

Pahayag pa ng isa niyang fan (published as is), "Ate Reg, please know that you don’t owe us perfection. You’ve already given us soooo much. We’re here for you in every season & we’re just grateful that you still choose to share your voice with us. We love you!"
"You don't have to prove anything anymore, Ms. Reg, you always gave us wonderful performances, but it's more important for us to see you enjoy and love the things you do. You are, and will always be, THE Regine Velasquez," dagdag pa ng isa.
Erik santos pens message of support for Regine
Nag-alay din ng madamdaming mensahe si Erik kay Regine para ipakita ang suporta niya rito.
Ayon kay Erik, hindi masusukat sa isang performance ang legasiyang nagawa ng kanyang “Ate Regine.”
Mensahe ni Erik (published as is): "Dear Ate Reg, We see you. We know that lately, some performances have felt like a battle with anxiety and that the stage, which once brought you pure joy, now sometimes brings frustration instead.
"Please know that your legacy as THE Asia’s Songbird is not defined by a single high note or a perfect vocal day.
"It is defined by more than 4 decades of being the heartbeat of OPM.
"And even as you navigate the natural changes in your voice dahil sa hormonal change and menopause issues, you remain undeniably one of the best, if not the best, in OPM. "
Madalas nga raw binabanggit ni Regine kay Erik na hindi na kagaya noon ang timbre ng boses ng Asia's Songbird ngayon.
Pero saksi raw si Erik sa talento ni Regine nang makipag-duet ito sa sikat na international singer na si Josh.
Lahad pa ni Erik: "Palagi mo sinasabi that you sound different now, na nagbago na talaga yung boses mo. But your recent duet with Josh Groban proved that you still possess the 'magic' that captivates a room.
"Kung may pagbabago man, that change carries the weight of a lifetime of stories.
"And we thank you for still choosing to show up and share a piece of yourself with all of us even when it’s hard.
"Your honesty about your struggles makes you more than just an icon, it makes you human.
"Seeing a legend be vulnerable about anxiety on stage inspires us more than any perfect record ever could."
Higit pa sa taas ng boses, mas hinahangaan daw ni Erik ang ipinapakitang pagmamahal ni Regine sa kanyang pamilya at mga kaibigan.
"Ate, as someone who knows you on a personal level, what I cherish most are not only the times I get to perform with you, but moreso, the quiet moments we’ve shared, about life and family, mga tawanang halos walang katapusan — and those real laughs always fill the room when the cameras aren’t rolling, raw and unfiltered.
"I see how your eyes light up when you talk about Nate, and how your greatest performance isn’t at the Araneta or MOA Arena but in the dedication you show as a mom to Nate and a loving wife to Kuya Ogie.
"You’ve given us enough high notes to last a lifetime. Solved na solved na kami dun."
Dagdag pa ni Erik, "Take the rest you need, breathe and please remember that you don’t have to be ‘The Songbird’ every time you step on stage.
"To us, you are Regine — our Ate and that is more than enough. We love you, Ate @reginevalcasid!"
