How to Become a Studio Contestant in 'Singing Bee' | Bee the Next Millionaire!

Singer-actress Sheryl Cruz was named the first millionaire of the newest season of hit musical game show “The Singing Bee” after she effortlessly conquered the final round last Saturday (Dec 7).

Sheryl consecutively guessed the correct lyrics of the first four given songs in the “Final Countdown” and did not even give defending champion Bugoy Drilon a chance to steal and defend his title. From the first round all the way to the last, Sheryl never committed any mistake, easily beating her fellow players Dennis Padilla, Rez Cortez, Tirso Cruz III, and Tina Paner.

After her winning moment, the actress said that she dedicated her victory to her late father whose birthday is approaching.

Now that the championship seat is unoccupied, “The Singing Bee” is in search of its new champion this week. Band vocalists Jett Pangan of The Dawn, Aia de Leon of Imago, Madeline Ramboyong of Paraluman, Mcoy Fundales of Orange and Lemons, and Ruben Caballero of Cueshe are up for the challenge and try their luck in winning the P1 million jackpot. Who among them will win and become the new defending champion? Will anyone from them follow the footsteps of Sheryl and become the next millionaire of the new “The Singing Bee?”

“The Singing Bee” now opens its doors to TV viewers who want to become studio contestants. To join, text BEE (name) / (age) / (gender) / (address) / (landline number) to 231 for Smart and Talk N Text subscribers and to 2331 for Globe, TM at Sun Cellular subscribers.

Imago Vocalist Aia de Leon Fails in The Voice of the Philippines Auditions

Former lead vocalist of popular band Imago, Aia de Leon failed to turn at least a single chair during her The Voice of the Philippines Blind Auditions aired Sunday night, July 21.

Aia de Leon sang Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel and it was her song choice which probably hurt her. Aia's former band, Imago, is well-known for their hits like Sundo, Akap and Taralets and their versions of APO's Ewan  and Eraserheads' Spolarium.

Coaches Lea Salonga and Bamboo were heartbroken after knowing that it was Aia who auditioned. Just like the ex-vocalist of Imago, former PDA scholar Chivas Malunda and ex-Ang TV star-turned-Kapuso singer Nicole Angela Judalena also failed to advance to the next rounds.

Meanwhile, here's Aia de Leon's performance on the Blind Auditions of The Voice PH.

Artists who made the cut on Sunday's episode were former Popstar Kids finalist Jessica Reynoso (Team Apl), Denise Sagun and Carlson Dan Billano (Team Bamboo) and Kim Mainit (Team Lea).

Team Bamboo and Team Lea have already 13 members each, made possible by a twist revealed on Sunday night while Team Apl has 12. Team Sarah is still looking for one final artist to complete the 12 members. Next Saturday (July 27), expect 3 artists to advance to the Battles (2 for Team Sarah and 1 for Team Apl).
