Tawag Ng Tanghalan Kids May 9 performances
First contender, Trisha Karylle Bugayong. Trisha or Ina is 12-year-old kiddie contender from Calasiao, Pangasinan. Ina is the class valedictorian and has been a consistent honor student. She helps out her mom sell school supplies and some snacks at a shop in town. For today’s performance, Ina sang “Ikaw Ay Ako” by Morissette & Klarisse de Guzman.
Judge Karylle said Trisha’s strength was her powerful voice and just needed to work on how she shifts from low to high notes and said she needed more voice control. Judge Jaya said Trisha chose a challenging song but was able to execute it well.
Second contender, Leanne Joy Layague. Kiddie contender from Lapu-Lapu City Leanne was next on stage. Leanne dreams of becoming a singing chef. If not, she would like to someday be one of the leaders of the country. This is not too far-fetched since as early as now, she usually is the leader of her group in any project and is a straight A student. “The Voice Within” by Christina Aguillera was Leanne’s piece for today.
Judge Yeng said Leanne was a very good story teller and loved the fact that she saw how Leanne understood the song.
Third contender, Jhienly Torredes. Eight-year-old Jhienly from Agusan Del Norte was the last contender. Her family, especially her brother, supports her dream of becoming a famous singer someday. Jhienly sang “Hanggang” by Wency Cornejo hoping to impress the judges.
Judge Erik Santos called Jhienly adorable. He said she was very confident and called her voice innocent yet powerful. Judge Jolina, on the other hand, said she looked younger than her age but her vocal range speaks otherwise.
