BIGO ang pambato ng Pilipinas na si Marcelito Pomoy na makuha ang titulo bilang “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” grand winner.
Sa ginanap na finale night ng singing competition sa US, itinanghal si Marcelito bilang third runner-up.
Para sa kanyang final performance last week, kinanta ni Marcelito ang “Beauty and the Beast” doble-kara style na original duet nina Celine Dion at Peabo Bryson.
Dito muli siyang pinuri ng mga hurado na sina Heidi Klum, Alesha Dixon at Howie Mandel with matching standing ovation. Nagalingan din naman sa kanya si Simon Cowell pero aniya “predictable” na raw ang kanyang ipinakita.
Bago pa maganap ang announcement ng winners, nag-post na ang Pinoy singer sa Facebook ng mga patikim sa finals.
“There will still be an encore, so I will be performing one more song together with the other contestants…
“We are 10 grand finalists and from the 10 contestants.. 5 will be eliminated then the other 5 will be ranked from top 1 to 5 but only one will win.
“Only one will bring home the trophy and the $20,000 grand prize…
“In this scenario.. I would love if you will still watch my finale performance..
“As what I am always saying… Win or Lose I know that I am already a champion because in your hearts..
“I know that we won already.. We raised our Filipino Flag and represented our country to the best that I can be..
“My dream has already been a reality with a bonus.. It is to be able to perform not just once, twice or thrice but there will be a fourth time tomorrow on one of the biggest competition in the whole world… America’s Got Talent the Champions Edition.”
Mensahe naman ni AGT judge Heidi Klum sa kanya, “I love you so much. You have the most beautiful voice. I should actually say the most beautiful voices inside of you. You are a champion. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us.”
