IBA talaga ang galing ng Pinoy sa larangan ng pag-awit at ito’y muling pinatunayan ni Justine Afante, 13 years old, ang batang Pinay na nanalo sa katatapos na The Voice Kids United Kingdom 2020 nitong Agosto 29.

Napanood namin ang blind audition niyang Never Enough (OST ng The Greatest Showman) at talagang binigyan siya ng standing ovation ng apat na coaches na sina will.i.am, Paloma Faith, Danny Jones at Pixie Lott.

Halos lahat ng weekly episodes ng TVKUK ay stand out si Justine kaya hindi kataka-takang siya ang tanghaling grand winner sa final song niyang Listen na version ni Beyonce.

Super shock si Justine nang tawagin ang pangalan niya nitong Sabado, “I’m in so much shock. I didn’t they were all so good and I didn’t think I was going to be the one.”

At siyempre ipinagmamalaki naman siya ng voice coach niyang si Pixie Lott, “How close can I go? I’m so, so, so proud of you. You’ve worked so, so, so hard.”

Say naman ng isa sa coaches na si Danny Jones, “I think we all need to gather our thoughts, don’t we? Justine, technically, what you’re doing there is unbelievable. Like it is unbelievable for 13 years old. And you came on that stage and look so calm, composed, professional. And most of all, just effortless. And what an amazing way to kick off this final. Well done.”

“Spectacular. Like there was not one low, dull moment in that performance. Everything was — it just kept getting better and better. Like your finale, how you ended it, wow,” reaksyon ni Coach will.i.am.

Ayon kay coach Paloma Faith, “We’ve been in lockdown and that’s like one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen in my life. Sorry. But this is better than any of the coaches have ever done in any of our lives. Like honestly, that was world-class. I’m blown away. And I feel grateful that you’re so humble enough to come and sing to little old us ‘cause that was a very expensive performance.”

Hirit pa ni will.i.am,“And you know what, too, your performance is like the perfect performance to prove anyone wrong that kids under 14 don’t have extraordinary talent. You are like the poster child for The Voice Kids.”

Ang mensahe ni coach Pixie,“I know how much you’ve grown. You didn’t know you could sing these notes. You were singing these notes higher than Beyoncé. You’ve had that in you all along. But now because you’re believing in yourself — and I just feel so lucky that I got to witness that all those people that said you had no talent, you’ve just proved them one hundred percent wrong.”

Ipinanganak si Justine sa Dasmarinas, Cavite at sa kasalukuyan ay sa Swansea, Wales UK sila nakatira ngayon kasama ang magulang. Nakatanggap ng L30,000 bilang premyo na magagamit niya sa kanyang musical education.
