SANCHEZ. Effortless covers.
CATHRINA Margarejo, singer: “Jessica Sanchez has an amazing voice. For a 16-year-old to come up with effortless versions of tunes by Beyoncé, Whitney Houston and Celine Dion is truly amazing! I hope she fights on till the finale, and ends up winning the title. Whatever the outcome, Jessica will definitely go places!”

Ramil Gutierrez, graduate student: “I wish Boy Abunda could relax during his interviews—he’s always so intense! He’s a good interviewer, but there’s something about his facial expressions that turns me off.
“Sometimes, instead of being touched by his interviewees’ revelations, I find myself distracted by Kuya Boy’s “emote na emote” expressions. Parang laging matter of life and death ang mga interview n’ya. You know he’s trying to project intelligence and inquisitiveness the way serious journalists do—but, OA ang dating.”
Anita Melicor, teacher: “Kristine Hermosa has one of the most beautiful faces in the biz. Too bad she’s long been sidelined by marriage and motherhood. Recently, it was a joy to see her on TV as she discussed her now more domesticated lifestyle. She and Oyo Sotto look happy together.”
