Gerphil Geraldine Flores
Broadway and multi-awarded singer Lea Salonga took to social media to express her support to Filipina classical singer Gerphil Geraldine Flores as she hopes to become the first winner of “Asia’s Got Talent.”
On her Twitter account, Salonga said that Flores is “incredibly talented.”
“Dear Gerphil Flores, whatever happens at AGT, know that you are incredibly talented with a voice that could’ve only come from the heavens,” Salonga said.
The Tony Award winning songstress said that AGT is Flores’ time to shine, five years after falling short in “Pilipinas Got Talent.”
Meanwhile, “Asia’s Songbird” Regine Velasquez also threw her support for Flores, urging her fans to vote for the Soprano singer.
Velasquez posted the code which voters need to support Flores on Instagram.
During her grand finals performance, the 24-year-old songstress delivered her rendition of “Impossible Dream.” One of the AGT judges, David Foster, promised Flores that the world will know about her.
“My golden girl, tonight the song is called ‘The Impossible Dream.’ You just made the dream possible. I promise you, the world is gonna know about you. That’s a promise,” Foster said.
In 2010, Flores joined the first season of “Pilipinas Got Talent” but only reached the competition’s semi-final round. AJH/DPL
