MANILA – Filipina girl group 4th Impact received a standing ovation from the judges and the audiences for their live show performance on Beyonce Knowles’ ‘Work It Out’ track from action-comedy film Austin Powers: Goldmember.
Sisters Almira, Irene, Mylene and Celina sang the post-disco single wearing sparkling dresses.
Prior the performance, Celina, the youngest of the group, passed out. They were then given the option to present the dress run instead but they insisted on performing. Almost collapsing after the performance, Celina was seated as the judges gave their comments.
“I think we should make this very quick… Because of what you’ve been through. I was backstage when all this happened. All I’m gonna tell you is I’ve done this a lot of years. That was… one of the most incredible things we’ve seen on this show – really, unbelievable… It was outstandingly good,” judge Simon Cowell said.
Judges Nick Grimshaw, Rita Ora and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini also praised the group for yet another stellar performance despite the circumstances.
