There was this instance when Regine was asked questions about her idolizing mariah. It was a follow up question regarding her answering "Butterfly" as to her favorite song. She mistakenly answered, "Kasi pareho kami ng pinagdaanan na hirap sa buhay. AT SAKA, ILANG TAON PA LANG SIYA SA BUSINESS... 6 YEARS... ANG TAAS NA NG NAABOT NYA." This answer shows that Regine is not even aware that Mariah has been in the music industry since 1990 (tama ba?). Mali yung judgement ng tao na parang she is so desperate to copy or be Mariah. She's not even interested in her songs, but selects only the best among them. The only reason why she sings Mariah's songs is because her crew tell her so. When she sang Mariah's first hits like "Make It Happen", "Music Box", etc., she wasn't even aware that Mariah sang them, kasi that time, Mariah's hitting it big sa US, pero not that big here in the Philippines. Sa Japan siguro, oo. Sumikat lang ng todo si Mariah dito sa atin after Hero. That was around 1993 or 94?
Regine's original idols were Barbara Streisand and Kuh Ledesma. She was very voacal about this. Then came Butterfly and people clamored for her to cover Mariah songs. Added are her artistic crew compelling her to "copy" Mariah. Pero trut is, she is not that desperate as people claim to imitate or be Mariah. Regine Velasques, with her enormous world-class talent need not copy or ask for more. She is the best and most successful singer the Philippines has ever produced (pop music category, not theatrical). all great singers and musicians agree to that. so whatever regine bashers say, Regine remains to be Regine, the best.

Jun remembers pass incidents:
Unbelievable..
The whole thing really was. But if people have to have
something to gripe about towards Regine than this is
probably the best topic to give them as far as we are
concern. Because its always been such a silly issue
to even make a gripe about. So better this and be a
little annoyed than something that would be more
troublesome to deal with.
The way I felt about it? It was obvious alot of
our own homegrown local Carey fans were taking their
insecurities to a personal all-time high. They were
having warp perceptions of Regine becoming some kind
of musical threat when she was riding high with her
R2K CD and having a video that just was so Carey-
inspired, it started rubbing alot of them as being
too close to their comfort zone of acceptance.
On the other hand, some people just used the issue
as an excuse to bring out their worst crab mentality
character to the surface.
While the rest of us with more sense we're just plainly
proud as can be about Regine. As all Filipinos should be.
Because what she did back then with her R2K album and
concert were real music events to be proud of and always
remembered.

Sometimes people's deep insecurities can get the best of
them and bring out their worst.
