Tawag Ng Tanghalan Sept 28 contenders, daily winner, and champion
Rose Anne Maranan from Batangas sings “Natatawa Ako” by Aegis. Rose Anne sang her heart out on stage belting out those powerful notes all for her mom. Her parents went their separate ways when she was just 1 year old so her mom had to raise her and her siblings on her own. Rose Anne had to stop school to help her mom who suffers from goiter.
Judge Yeng Constantino was glad to hear Rose Anne put a bit of originality to her performance with the natural huskiness of her voice. She noticed though that she was too nervous on stage which somehow affected her performance. Judge Ogie said Rose’s voice was indeed powerful and agreed with Yeng when it came to her being nervous.
Alvin Pancito from Negros Oriental sings “Muling Buksan Ang Puso” by Basil Valdez. Alvin is based in Dubai and works as an assistant supply chain for logistics for an online supermarket. He is also known as the belter singing hero for saving four tourists in Dubai who almost drowned in the beach. Now that he is in the Philippines, he hopes to make it on TNT’s prestigious stage.
To Alvin’s performance, Judge Rey Valera said, “Walang reklamo. Magaling.” He pointed out how difficult it was to sing the song he chose and was impressed by his interpretation.
Roy Romulo from Agusan del Sur sings “I’ll Never Love Again” by Tom Jones. Singing on the TNT stage is a long time dream for habal habal driver Roy. He auditioned the first time but didn’t make it. On his second try, he was lucky enough to get in. Now that he passed the auditions and reaches his dream of singing on the TNT stage, will he pass the judges’ criteria?
Judge Billy Crawford called Roy’s performance very interesting. He had a unique twist to the song and said “great job!” Jugde Erik Santos said Roy reminded him of Daddy D, a contender who became a finalist. He performed the song well but wondered if this was his real singing voice or he was just mimicking Tom Jones’ voice. But all in all, it as a good performance.
