They came, they sang, they conquered. The ASAP Male Champions—JM Yosures, Reiven Umali, JM Dela Cerna, and Khimo Gumatay—didn’t just sing Steelheart’s iconic "She's Gone"; they turned it into their playground. A song so daunting even seasoned vocalists hesitate to tackle became a stunning showcase of their talents. One fan on social media aptly noted, "For a change, male birit champions dominated! Watch out, ASAP Divas." And dominate they did—this was a performance that had everyone buzzing.
Meet the Dream Team
JM Yosures, the Tawag ng Tanghalan Season 4 grand champ, brought his signature clarity and finesse. His calm demeanor and smooth transitions made hitting those high notes look like a stroll in the park. As one admirer pointed out, "JM cracked the code—vocals had never seemed so effortless."
Reiven Umali, TNT Season 5’s golden boy, oozed soul in every line. His rich, velvety tone melted hearts faster than ice cream in the summer heat. "Reiven’s voice is the perfect combo of soothing and powerful," said a fan, capturing the sentiment of many who were mesmerized by his delivery.
JM Dela Cerna was the MVP of the night. The TNT Duets grand champ took "effortless" to a new level, delivering gravity-defying notes without even using an earpiece! Social media was ablaze with praise: "Nakangiti lang si JMDC while belting out those insane high notes! Truly next-level," marveled one viewer, while another exclaimed, "The cleanest vocals despite the impossible range—what a legend."
Khimo Gumatay, the Idol Philippines Season 2 winner, proved that an R&B king can rock out too. His clean, controlled high notes had everyone asking, “Wait, is this really out of his comfort zone?” Khimo’s versatility, as one admirer put it, is truly his superpower: "Taas at linis ng boses, sobra."
A Harmony Like No Other
This wasn’t just a performance; it was a vocal masterclass. Each singer brought their unique flavor, yet they blended seamlessly, creating a dynamic and captivating rendition. The synergy was palpable, leaving fans gushing, "They’ve proven why they’re champions—raw talent, pure power!" One particularly excited viewer added, "Male birit kings have officially arrived, and we’re here for it."

A Few Bumps? Maybe, But Who Cares?
While some eagle-eared listeners pointed out a few strained moments in the upper registers, those critiques were drowned out by the avalanche of praise. As one fan succinctly put it, "When you’re performing a song that’s practically a rite of passage for vocalists, minor imperfections are forgivable."
Steelheart’s "She’s Gone" is the stuff of legends. With its towering notes and emotional depth, it’s the ultimate flex for any birit singer. By taking on this behemoth, the ASAP Male Champions weren’t just performing—they were sending a message. A message that male vocalists can birit just as fiercely as their female counterparts. "They’ve raised the bar for male vocalists everywhere," commented a fan, summing up the gravity of their feat.
