TNT July 5 Performances, daily winner, and champion
First contender, Charlyn Chavez. Charlyn from Taguig sings for her family. This 21-year-old single mom is the eldest among six siblings. She had to stop school and had to work as a singer to raise her 4-year-old daughter. Before she got pregnant, she used to join beauty pageants and singing contests. Now she takes the stage singing “One Day” by Matisyahu fighting for all single moms out there hoping to get a second chance at reaching her dream.
Judge K Brosas said she looked like a lounge singer but her voice speaks otherwise. She loved Charlyn’s voice and how different it was. Judge Nyoy, on the other hand, said she represented young single moms and said her performance had much character which was great.
Second contender, Jennifer Maravilla. This singer from Naga takes a chance and goes back to her first love, singing. She is inspired by her boyfriend who recently pursued his passion and is now rank four in the Philippine Tennis Nationwide. Jennifer sang “Someone Who Believes In You” by Air Supply. She was on to giving it all towards the chorus when Judge Rey Valera signaled for the gong.
For Rey, Jennifer wasn’t able to hit those notes well. She had some sharps and flats and said she needed a coach to teach her the basics. He even hinted a bit about how Jennifer should think twice if singing is really for her in her “tadhana.” This did not stop Jennifer from saying she is still willing to fight for her dream. Unfortunately, Jennifer is automatically disqualified from the show.
Third contender, Ricardo Pindos, Jr. Ricardo is a butcher from Tacloban. He works 12 hours a day hoping to give a better future for his family and his younger siblings. He also joins singing contests like his father back in the day who now works as a carpenter. Ricardo sang “Here I Am” by Air Supply. Judge Rey Valera was also a bit skeptic about Ricardo’s performance and was about to signal for the gong when the song ended.
Judge Erik Santos said Ricardo had the voice but it just needed a bit of polishing. He heard flats and sharps but overall he was able to pull it off. Ricardo just needed to connect with the audience more through his hand gestures. Judge Mitoy agreed with Erik when he said he needed to use more body language on stage. His advice, look for his most comfortable stance on stage.
