Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids’ Feb. 19 Episode: #YFSFAdorableKids Xia As Diana Ross, Awra As Shirley Bassey
Two YFSF crowd favorites, Xia Vigor and Awra Briguela will be performing two icons that they likely do not know. Xia picked Diana Ross while Awra got Shirley Bassey, making their performances the most-awaited by viewers.
YFSF Adorable Kid Xia Vigor As Diana Ross
First up is the cute little artist, Xia Vigor. As expected she admitted that she has not heard of Diana Ross until now. After getting some tips from her vocal and movement coaches, she performs Diana Ross’ version of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”
When the judges were asked to give their comments, all of them only had positive comments. Gary noted that he saw how Xia loves what she is doing, and that she loves to make people happy. Ogie commended her for working so hard every week. Sharon said that she was very happy with Xia’s performance.
#YFSFAdorableKids Awra Briguela As Shirley Bassey
Awra Briguela is another YFSF crowd favorite that viewers always watch out for. This week, he picked a 60’s icon, Shirley Bassey. He got some interesting tips from the coaches. He performed Shirley Bassey’s anthem, “I Am What I Am.” As usual, his performance had the judges rolling in laughter.
Ogie said that Awra has this way about him that he parodies the icons he imitates. Gary on the other hand praised Awra for his comedic ability, and that he is able to make people happy. Sharon congratulated Awra for another performance that made everyone happy.
#YFSFAdorableKids AC Bonifacio As Gloria Estefan
Gloria Estefan who was the lead singer Miami Sound Machine was the icon picked by dance sweetheart AC Bonifacio. Their vocal coach said that Gloria exuded energy in her performances. Their movement coach also said that she interacted with her band during her performance. AC performed “Get On Your Feet.”
Gary first noted that in AC’s performance tonight, she once again showed her unlimited energy. However, this meant that the other side of the performance, the singing, was forgotten. Ogie on the other hand said that it may have been difficult for AC to bring down her energy a bit, because she has so much talent to show.
#YFSFAdorableKids Sam Shoaf As MC Hammer
Sam Shoaf picked 90’s rap icon MC Hammer. While rehearsing the song “U Can’t Touch This,” he said he had some difficulty doing the rap. He also said that it took him some time to memorize all the steps. He then performed the song with so much energy.
When Sharon gave her comment, she told Sam to continue being “awesome” and commended him for a great performance. Ogie simply said he was awe-“Sam” tonight and it was a very good performance. Gary said that what Sam did was his very best, because MC Hammer was 100 % difficult to imitate. The song is 100 percent rap and 100 percent dance, but Sam was able to pull it off.
