Juvie Pelos 'Uwahig' Performance in The Voice of the Philippines Wowed Coaches

Check out the performance of Juvie Pelos, a kundiman singer who charmed all four coaches in The Voice of the Philippines. Juvie Pelos sang an unfamiliar folk ballad Uwahig from the play of the same title during her Blind Auditions which aired Saturday night (July 6).

The 21-year-old Tickets Relation Officer from Surigao left everyone in amazement with her type of music, urging four-chair turn. Coach Bamboo was the first to turn banging his button repeatedly (until it hurts, according to him) followed by coach Lea Salonga. Coaches Sarah Geronimo and Apl de Ap turned their respective chairs at the last minute.

Juvie Pelos eventually did not have a hard time choosing from the four coaches and eventually went on Team Lea, admitting that the broadway diva was her idol. Check out Juvie's performance below.

Aside from Juvie Pelos, artists who advanced to the next rounds on Saturday's episode were former The X Factor Philippines Top 20 member Angelica Prado and heartthrob Paolo Onesa (Team Bamboo) (click their names to watch their Blind Audition performances) and 21-year-old student Diday Garcellano (Team Lea).

'The Voice of the Philippines' Airs June 2013; Coaches Now Ready for Blind Auditions

It’s the voice, not the looks or backstories, that will determine the next singing superstar in the highly anticipated singing competition “The Voice of the Philippines” airing this June on ABS-CBN with top caliber singers who have made their mark in the local and international music scenes as coaches who will mentor the aspiring singers or artists.

“The Voice of the Philippines,” to be hosted by multimedia star Toni Gonzaga with Robi Domingo as social media correspondent, proved to be a unique format with its “blind auditions,” where hopefuls will audition by singing on stage with the coaches facing against them.

It will not only have the artists competing in the show, but also the coaches who will go against one another in picking the best artists for their teams as early as the auditions round.

ABS-CBN has announced that Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo, Rock Superstar Bamboo, Broadway Diva Lea Salonga, and international hiphop sensation Apl De Ap will sit on the coaches’ chairs of “The Voice of the Philippines.”

The coaches’ first task is to pick who among artists they want to be part of their respective teams. The selection process begins during the blind auditions where they will evaluate the artists’ performances based on the voices they hear and if they would like to mentor a particular artist, they must press the button that will trigger their swiveling coaches’ chair to turn to the stage and get to see the artist in person.

In the event that more than two or more coaches chose a particular artist, the coaches will have to sell themselves to the artist and convince him or her to pick them as coach.

After choosing members of their teams, the coaches will start to mentor and train their artists.  They will pit two of their own team members in the second round called the “battle rounds,” or a do or die match between the two artists who must give it their all to please their coach.  And in the end, the coaches’ chosen artists will advance to the next round of the competition— the live performance shows.

Viewers will then step in the scene and can save their favorites from elimination by voting. In the end, each coach will have one star artist left to compete against the other team’s finalists and the last one standing will be named “The Voice of the Philippines.”

ABS-CBN bagged the exclusive rights to air and adapt the worldwide hit franchise from Dutch-based Talpa Media Group and joins 40 other countries around the world that localized it on TV, including the more popular US version of “The Voice” hosted by Carson Daly with Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton as coaches.

Who will be part of Team Sarah, Team Bamboo, Team Lea, and Team Apl? Watch out for “The Voice of the Philippines” airing this June on ABS-CBN. For updates, log on to www.thevoice.abs-cbn.com, like our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/thevoiceabscbn , orfollow @thevoiceabscbn on Twitter.

Apl.de.Ap, 4th Coach of 'The Voice Philippines'

Black Eyed Peas member Allan Pineda Lindo, popularly known as Apl.de.Ap is the 4th coach of The Voice of the Philippines, ABS-CBN Philippine franchise of the hit singing-reality competition The Voice.

The international Fil-Am singer-rapper (The Voice of Hiphop and R&B) will join Popstar Princess Sarah Geronimo (The Voice of Pop), rock superstar Bamboo Mañalac (The Voice of Rock) and Tony award-winner Lea Salonga (The Voice of Disney and Broadway) in search for the country's newest singing sensation.

According to reports, Apl.de.Ap was offered to judge The Voice Philippines May last year as hinted by his The Huffington Post interview published mid-2012.

"I've been working myself up to do it because I'm not used to being on TV everyday... I've been offered a show for next year. It's probably going to be other Fillipino artists - definitely Arnel Pineda the lead singer of Journey, Cherise [Charice] and Bruno Mars. It will be funny if Will [i.Am] does it with me, right? He won't understand a bunch of the songs," Apl told Huffington Post UK.

Apl.de.Ap's bestfriend, Will.i.Am is also one of the coaches in The Voice UK.

The Voice of the Philippines, to be hosted by Toni Gonzaga with Robi Domingo as the social media correspondent will air second quarter of 2013 and auditions had already started (click her for schedule and other information).

So there you have it, the four judges-coaches of The Voice Philippines. Are you for for Team Sarah? Team Bamboo? How about Team Lea or Team Apl?
