ILAN sa mga papasok sa Bahay ni Kuya sa PBB Season 7 ngayong Linggo ang dalawang #Hashtag members na sina McCoy de Leon at Nicco, at si JK Labajo na produkto naman ng The Voice Kids.
Maaalalang si Bamboo Mañalac ang naging mentor ni JK sa TVK at dahil in-announce nang makakasama ang kanyang protegee, very proud ang singer-coach sa anak-anakan na unti-unti nang nagtatagumpay sa showbiz.
“I just knew it. He just deserved that he’s doing his thing and yes he is learning as well and the the thing I’m very proud of him is hindi niya kinakalimutan ang music and his taste in music napakagaganda,” bungad ng singer-coach.
“’Yun ang parang napasa ko sa kanya, eh, naturo ko na parang, ‘Coach may ipaparinig ako sa’yo’ and it’s like wow that’s something different, hindi ko ini-expect. I’m very proud of him and Elha and every child on my team and everyone who makes it.”
Busy si Bamboo sa third season ng The Voice Kids at bilang coach, naitanong sa kanya kung may pressure ba on his part to be chosen by the contestants sa blind auditions?
“It’s not pressure, may belief kasi ako na you need to fight for every child. That’s what I always say and you want the child to feel that this coach wants me. Sa akin parang disservice sa bata ‘yun kung lalaban ka ng half lang.
Kung lalaban tayo, all in ka dapat.”
Kung bina-bash ang kasamahan niyang coach na si Sharon Cuneta sa manner ng pagdya-judge, pawang good words si Bamboo tungkol sa megastar.
“It’s been great. Initially no’ng unang araw you’re thinking about the chemistry, eh. Of course Coach Lea (Salonga) and I have been working for couple of years so you’re thinking how it is gonna work. And it worked out fine and Coach Sharon is fun, she’s crazy and what I also heard is a good sensitivity to her and she feels the children as well and the children feels that. So it’s a good fight that what makes it as a great season,” aniya.
Naniniwala si Bamboo na best part ng show ang blind auditions at mabigat na para sa coaches ang next stages.
“This is the best part of the show because this is the part that you’re welcoming people to your team so this is the best part. The hard parts are the next weeks especially kay Coach Sharon, I think it’s gonna be tough for her seeing the kids go.”
May pambato na ba siya sa team members niya na posibleng manalo sa show?
“Hindi pa kasi masyadong maaga pa sabihin ‘yun, eh. Sa akin we only see that as the season progresses. Ngayon pa lang we’ll see who has really the feel for performing and singing,” kanyang pahayag. (Ador Saluta)
