First contender, Rea Gen Villareal. Nineteen-year-old Rea from Caloocan is used to joining singing contests. It all changed when she got pregnant. She makes a comeback joining TNT singing “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me.” She fights for a better future for her and her family.
Judge Kayla saw Rea’s confidence on stage which just proved that she was used to being on stage. Judge Yeng, on the other hand, said
being too relaxed was a bit a disadvantage for her. Yeng wanted a bit more and said she thinks she has more to offer.
Second contender, Julius Cawaling. Julius from Cavite became a band vocalist and breadwinner at the age of 18. He and his band do music not just for themselves but for a charity for kids. Whatever his band earns, a portion of it goes to school kids’ toiletries, books, school supplies and more. Education for other kids and family is his motivation. He sang “Lately” by Stevie Wonder which impressed not only the audience but most especially the judges. His performances put all the judges on their feet right after his last note.
Judge Rey called Julius’ vocal riffs and notes sophisticated. He didn’t know where Julius would take the song which made it more interesting.
Third contender, Ricky Conserman. Singer and sugarcane worker from Negros Occidental Ricky doesn’t have his own family but is a father figure to his nephews. Ricky has been working in a sugar cane farm since he was 14 years old. He joins TNT for all workers like him who have a dream. Ricky sang “Kahit Ako Ay Lupa” by Basil Valdez.
Judge Jed Madela said Ricky was a good story teller. He was able to communicate with the audience well but said he had to work a bit more on clarity.
