KZ Tandingan: It was a last-minute song choice
Although Tandingan’s delivery is soulful, she says that it was not her first choice. In an interview with ABS-CBN, Tandingan said she got a call to find out that she needed to change her song last minute. She tells MJ Felipe before her flight to China to tape the episode that the producers picked the song for her. It was a good thing that she knows the song. But the problem is the producers wanted the song to be in a different arrangement.
