25 Stars including Toni pay tribute to Gary Valenciano

The finest singers in the industry are giving tribute to the man who has been considered the embodiment of a total performer, Gary Valenciano, also known as Mr. Pure Energy.

The artists have come together through the album "GV25 All-Star Tribute Collection" under Star Records, featuring the greatest hits of Valenciano.

Respected artists from the music industry were honored to take part in the GV25 album, rendering their own version of Gary V.'s timeless songs in celebration of the artist's 25 years in the industry.

Some of the artists include Jericho Rosales (Di Bale Na Lang), Martin Nievera (Narito), South Border (Laughter All The Time), Bituin Escalante (Take Me Out Of The Dark), Christian Bautista (After All), Sarah Geronimo (Kailangan Kita), Toni Gonzaga (Wait Forever), Zsa Zsa Padilla(Ikaw Lamang), Kuh Ledesma (Could You Be Messiah), Sam Milby (Each Passing Night), Erik Santos (Gaya Ng Dati), Jed Madela (Until Then), Randy Santiago (Eto Na Naman), Piolo Pascual (How Did You Know), Aiza Seguerra (Fool 'Til The End), Vina Morales (Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos) and Sharon Cuneta (Sana Maulit Muli).

"Gary V. is the epitome of excellence! He is an inspiration. It's an honor to be a part of his 25th anniversary album and to sing "Could You Be Messiah", one of his biggest hits," Kuh Ledesma said.

"Gary is such an inspiration to millions and his music has touched so many hearts including mine. It is such an honor to be a part of this tribute album for an icon of music & inspiration," said Jed Madela.

"I am truly inspired of what Kuya Gary has achieved throughout his 25 years in the business. I was full of love and inspiration when I was recording "Gaya Ng Dati", my favorite GV song. Truly, Gary V. is one of the most effective performers in our country, for me he's one of the greatest icons of this generation," said Erik Santos.

"Gary V. is the most dedicated artist in the business. His musicality is unmatched. He memorizes every beat and every lyric and if you're not careful, he will memorize your beats and lyrics too. It's an honor to share the stage with him, but an even bigger honor to sing one of his classics. Gary is more than a friend, he is our spiritual hero," said Concert King, Martin Nievera.

"I can't imagine the Philippine music industry without Gary Valenciano. He's really the only one that does best with what he does. That's why when you say Mr. Pure Energy, that really means so much more that what it initially seems to mean.

"Gary is an institution at such a young age. He's a huge, huge superstar and has brought our country many honors," said the Megastar, Sharon Cuneta.

In showbusiness, there are many stars who have lost their shine over the years. After 25 years, Gary V. still stands strong, making music that continues to appeal to people.
