It took 23 years for M2M to reunite on stage, but their Manila stop turned out to be one the pop duo will never forget.
During their “The Better Endings Tour” at Smart Araneta Coliseum on May 1 and 2, the Norwegian pop duo Marit Larsen and Marion Raven were visibly overwhelmed when thousands of Pinoy fans sang “Pretty Boy” word for word.
Clips from the concert posted on X show the duo pausing mid-performance, clearly moved by the crowd’s perfect-pitch singing. At one point, they could only react with short phrases between giggles and tears:
“You’re singing is so pitch perfect.”
“Karaoke is really helpful.”
“You’re gonna make us cry.”
The filipino chakra throat getting praises from M2M 😭 Pretty Pretty Boy🙌🏽
