Tawag Ng Tanghalan Kids May 26 Performances, daily winner, and champion
First contender, Romeo Espino. Kiddie contender from Metro Manila is 12-year-old Romeo. Romeo has five older sisters so he usually looks for boy stuff to do out of the house. He plays billiards with some of his friends or sometimes spends time with his tita doing karaoke. Romeo sang “Imagine” by John Lennon hoping to grab the title from John Jamiel.
Judge Jaya loved Romeo’s good disposition and said he already had a vocal style which Romeo has yet to discover and explore. She and Judge K Brosas enjoyed his performance and said he has a distinct vocal style which he can improve on.
Second contender, Galeno “Rock” Opong. Eleven-year-old Rock is kiddie contender form Iloilo. His nickname came from her mom’s idol, The Rock Dwayne Johnson. This kid has big dreams. He wants to become an NBA star like Kyrie Irving and a singer like Adam Levine. Galeno plays the drums and the guitar and has been learning since he was four. He now takes on Loius Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World.” After his performance, Rock played some tunes with the guitar and sang “Open Arms.”
Head judge Galeno called him a complete musician because aside from singing, he can play instruments and can interpret songs well. Ogie said he had what they call “hagod” and said he was touched by Rock’s performance.
