The journey of the 15 aspiring female singers towards fulfilling their musical dreams is set to carry on after making it to the “Your Song of Excellence” top 15 finalists!
Raising the bar for singing excellence in the country, these finalists from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao have earned their spots by wowing celebrity judges and OPM icons Bituin Escalante, Jay Durias, Frenchie Dy, and Paulo Zarate with their notable online performances and memorable stories.
“At first glance the audition videos they sent were not as impressive visually ‘cause they just used existing devices like cell phones or tablets. Let’s face it, not all have the Ideal space or background ever. Some had to make do with table clothes or shower curtains to make their background presentable, but what they lacked in the visual production they made up for with their sheer talent,” Zarate said. “Yes , we were all surprised.”
Presenting the top 15 female finalists who are now one step closer into winning the biggest online singing competition this 2021!
From the islands of Luzon, the five finalists are Angelika Keith De Guzman from Pampanga, Daniella Langres from Cavite, Kyla Jade Jose from Marikina, Rana Singh from Rizal and Stephanie Aseron from Oriental Mindoro.
Coming from Visayas, joining the top 15 female finalists are Julia Faith Joaquin from Bohol, Anjanette Fajardo from Capiz, Julyann Uy, Veronica Jañola, and Therese Quiruben, who are all from Cebu.
Finally, joining the lot of the Mindanao female finalists are Edel M Quibol from General Santos, Ricalyn Martinez from Davao del Norte, Ella Mae Sabando, Noreen Gamos, and Alyanna Marie Espiritu, who are all from Davao City.
The public may then vote for their favorite female performers to advance to the regional finals.
