Julie Anne San Jose Stirs Controversy with OOTD and “Dancing Queen” Performance in Church

Reactions from netizens are divided following the viral video of Julie Anne San Jose performing inside a church.

The Kapuso actress and singer faces criticism after a video surfaced on social media showing her singing ABBA's "Dancing Queen" in front of the altar during a church event.

This incident occurred on October 6, when Julie Anne was one of the performers at a benefit concert held at the Nuestra Señora Del Pilar Shrine in Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro.

In addition to this, another video went viral on TikTok, featuring Julie Anne engaging with the audience while performing Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory."

Furthermore, GMA Sparkle showcased her "incredible vocals" on their TikTok account after her performance at the "Heavenly Harmony in Concert (Harana para kay Maria)."

Julie Anne San Jose continues to capture attention with her talent and unique performances, but this latest event has sparked discussions about appropriateness in sacred spaces.

Here are some comments from internet users who watched Julie Anne's video; many criticized the singer's song and dress.

“SERIOUSLY? AT THE ALTAR? DO U EVEN KNOW NA BAWAL KUMANTA, SUMAYAW/GUMAWA NG WORLDLY SONGS/DANCE SA HARAP NG ALTAR?”

“Sa Altar talaga??????”

“Harana para kay maria pero bat ganyan ang kanta?”

“Ginawang ASAP ‘yung simbahan.”

“Kailan pa naging concert hall ang simbahan? Sad di na nirespeto ang simbahan.”

“Sinong nagpasimuno Ng ganyan concert? Hinayaan nyong kinanta ang mga Kantang Hindi angkop. Sacrilege! Dapat may agreement Kayong mga organizer SA artist kung ano Lang kanta na angkop at ang pwedeng kantahin lalo na’t NASA loob Yun Ng Simbahan.”

“Sino nag organize ng event ‘nyo? Kung may ganon na performances dapat hindi sa loob ng parish, saka ang labo ng description, concert ba talaga o harana? O pinagisa nyo na lang?”

“Tapos ang naka backless and sexy ng suot and nasa altar nag perform wow ha!”
