Filipino singer Marcelito Pomoy has obtained his ticket to the grand finals of talent competition America’s Got Talent.<\/i><\/p>\n
This, after he blew the crowd’s minds during the semi-finals with his stunning rendition of Andrea Bocelli’s “Con Te Partiro,” singing the song with, of course, his unique dual voices that never disappoint.<\/p>\n
With this performance, Pomoy gained not only the audience’s loud cheers and applause but also a standing ovation from the show’s judges Howie Mandel, Alesha Dixon, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell.<\/p>\n
“I gotta say that I believe that you have the best shot of winning this whole thing.\u00a0I really do,” Mandel said.<\/p>\n
“This is the semifinals [and] you raised your game. The woman in you was just as good as she was the last time. But you as a man, you went up a notch. She tried to stay up with you but she couldn\u2019t,” he added.<\/p>\n
Dixon, meanwhile, said Pomoy’s song choice was “absolutely brilliant” as Bocelli’s 1995 hit has indeed made him “shine.”<\/p>\n
Klum also commented that she has been waiting for her “favorite” all day to come up to the stage.<\/p>\n
Cowell, for his part, did not deny that the Filipino singer has a “very unique, incredible, special talent, however, he challenged him to “take a bigger risk” in the grand finals.<\/p>\n
“I do believe that with the gift that you’ve got, you’ve got a massive career in front of you,” he continued.<\/p>\n
Learning how Pomoy represented the Filipino talent on a foreign stage, his fellow countrymen could not be any prouder of him, hoping that he will be named as this season’s champion.<\/p>\n
Aside from Pomoy, the other grand finalists are Tyler Butler-Figueroa, Hans, Sandou Trio Russian Bar, Alexa Lauenburger, and Duo Transcend.<\/p>\n
These six finalists will compete next week against four other performers whose acts received the Golden Buzzer \u2014 Angelina Jordan, Boogie Storm, V. Unbeatable, and Silhouettes.<\/p>\n
Prior to joining the American talent show, Pomoy first joined and won the second season of “Pilipinas Got Talent” in 2011.<\/p>\n
His talent impressed the international audience when he appeared as a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
