Concert Queen Pops Fernandez will be raising the Philippine flag in the international scene as she proudly announced on Friday, January 25, that she will become one of the judges in an upcoming international talent search, The World’s Best.

Pops could not contain her excitement when she said she will be part of the 50 “Wall of the World” judges, an international panel who are experts in various fields of entertainment.

The Filipina singer will be joining not only the other 49 global experts, but also the three American all-star judges Drew Barrymore, RuPaul Charles, and Faith Hill.

“This is the best show ever!” Pops wrote in her Instagram post.

The World’s Best, hosted by James Corden, will be featuring performances “from every genre imaginable, from every corner of the planet,” according to CBS Network.

In another Instagram post, Pops posted a photo of herself splendidly holding the Philippine flag on the show’s set.

“Watch the BEST talents from all over the world compete for #theworldsbest title,” she said.

Upon making the announcement, Pops’ fans and supporters were quick to congratulate her, saying that they could no longer wait to see her on their television screens.

“Congratulations Pops! I’ve seen the trailer and I’ve been looking up in your IG stories and your posts if you’re that excited just kidding! You’re one of my faves in the Philippines since Penthouse Live wow I’m saying how old I am hahaha looking forward to see the show!” netizen @jojomonsanto said.

Meanwhile, Instagram user @bingltorres wrote, “So happy for you Ms. Pops you’re so blessed and so deserving thank you for representing the Philippines.”

TNT Boys

Filipinos still have one thing to be proud of aside from Pops being a judge — Keifer Sanchez, Mackie Empuerto, and Francis Concepcion, better known as the TNT Boys, will also be appearing in the international talent competition.

In a video teaser posted by Drew on her Instagram account, the young singers, all wearing blue suits, amazed the audience, particularly the American actress, when they sang a powerful rendition of Beyoncé’s “Listen.”

Drew, in the video, told the trio, “You possess a gift. You’re just… that good.”

The actress’ post was shared by Pops on her Instagram and wrote,” These uber-talented boys @thetntboys wowed not just James Corden, @drewbarrymore, @faithhill, and @rupaulofficial but also the 50 #walloftheworld judges.”

She continued, “They are amazing and I was so proud to witness their outstanding performance.”

The World’s Best will premiere in the United States (US) on February 3 in the CBS Network.
