It can be remembered that in season 12 of the same show 2 years ago, the girl group 4th Impact (previously known as the Cercado sisters) competed in the show and eventually finished in 5th place.
First to audition was 40 year old dinner lady Gaga Lord. She auditioned with a Shirley Bassey classic and James Bond movie theme song "Diamonds Are Forever". She got the judges' approval bot just through her boss but also with her personality. Here is her audition video:
An 18 year old Filipina student from Australia also audition - Elysa V and also advanced to the next round despite battling jet lag on the auditions:
A boyband group then took the Filipino talent to the X Factor stage. The group named JBK - composed of band members Joshua Bulot, Bryan del Rosario and Kim Ordonio, showcased their voices with Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down" and was able to get all 4 yes from the judges.
Last but definitely not the least, a familiar face also auditioned - Alisah Bonaobra. Alisah first went viral after a video of hers singing "Let It Go" in a shopping mall was posted on line. She was also the runner up in the 2nd season of The Voice Philippines, finishing runner up under Team Apl. She auditioned with Beyonce's song "Listen" and also got the 4 yes from the judges.
I am hoping that all these Filipino acts reach the live shows and eventually I hope one of them wins the title. Good luck and we are all cheering for all of you!
