Ogie Alcasid received a text from Katchry’s mom just a few weeks ago according to the report. She said someone saw Katchry sing a French song on YouTube and asked if she was interested to audition for France Got Talent. Ogie said the problem was she wasn’t granted a visa for reasons that were not stated. He then sought help from Solenn Heussaff and her father and soon enough she was given a visa.
