Tawag Ng Tanghalan July 28 performances, daily winner, and champion
First contender, TJ Sarvida. Tj is band vocalist and entrepreneur from Metro Manila. He’s been to Indonesia and other countries with his band. He was able to put up his own restaurant and was featured once before for the largest pizza in Asia. He belongs to a band called Crib but now he goes solo singing “Too Young” by Jack Wagner.
Judge Karylle loved TJ’s stage presence and said there was a time in his performance when his voice resembled Gary V. She said he had a big chance because he did a have a big dream. Karylle thinks she would be able to make it big on TNT. Judge Rico Jay Puno said since TJ was in a band he knew he was capable of bringing it on TNT today and called him well equipped.
Second contender, Queen Rosas. Queen chose music as her career and she has no regrets. This singer originally from Camarines Sur now stays in Manila and has been for 20 years now. Since she first picked up her guitar and went off to Olongapo, it was uphill for her and her career. She once shared the stage with Freddy Aguilar and Lolita Carbon. “Mr. Kenkoy” by Mike Hanopol on the TNT stage and showed the judges she still had it at her age.
Judge Rey and Rico seem to enjoy her performance since it was a song from their generation. Head judge Rey Valera loved Queen’s rendition.
Third contender, Jolinda Piso. Jolinda is a woman of age but that doesn’t stop her from reaching her dream. Something that she was deprived of when she was younger because of her strict mom. Jolinda wasn’t allowed to join singing contests then. But now, this 53-year-old makes it happen singing “Gising Na Kaibigan” by Asin.
Judge K Brosas called Jolinda an inspiration. She said Jolinda’s voice was a bit shaky but she sang with much emotion which made it her enjoy her performance very much. Judge Nyoy agreed with K Brosas saying he felt the message of the song.
