We’ve heard them blend their voices like coffee and milk (yes, that creamy and satisfying!) but what happens when “Tawag Ng Tanghalan Duets 2” champs Christian Tibayan and Arvery Lagoring go from stage partners to game rivals?On Kapamilya Chat, our fave OST Dreamers took on the Music Genre Tapatan Challenge, where instead of harmonizing, they tried to out-sing each other by drawing random song titles and genre match-ups—all in the name of fun. <div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABwo29vGFp4i79Ao"></script></div>To get the ball rolling, Christian drew “Bakit Nga Ba Mahal Kita”—but make it rap. You just know he’s that good when he somehow made it work. Heartbreak with a beat? Break it down, &#x27;yo!Next up, Arvery went classical with “Narda” by Kamikazee. And IYKYK, that song has pure rocker angst. So hearing it sung like a dramatic piece from a 1700s opera was surprisingly refreshing, thanks to Arvery’s vocal charm.When Christian came back with Sarah Geronimo’s “Tala” in a pop version, he urged Arvery to sing it with him, as it felt like their ultimate duo anthem, especially the line &quot;umabot tayo hanggang dulo,&quot; which low-key mirrors everything they went through on the &quot;TNT&quot; stage. They felt that. To close the round, Arvery gave us Eraserheads’ “Ang Huling El Bimbo” with country spin. Who would&#x27;ve thought this iconic OPM track’s bittersweet storytelling would hit even harder with subtle folk-country hook? Arvey made this fusion sound so good!So if you’re in the mood for powerhouse vocals and a whole lot of charm, this is basically your sign to hit play. Don’t miss “Tawag ng Tanghalan” on “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/itsshowtime" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It’s Showtime</a>” every Monday to Saturday at 12 NN on Kapamilya Channel sa ALLTV2, GMA, A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live (YouTube and Facebook of ABS-CBN Entertainment),<a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> iWant</a>, and TFC IPTV.
