Daddy's Home opened the night with a lounge version of Himala. The judges applauded their performance, saying that they can sing anything. Gabriel Maturan followed with a surprising rendition of Hinahanap-Hanap Kita. He totally performed with sexy dancers and did not allow them to overpower him. With confidence and sex appeal oozing, Gab's version of the 'Maya' classic is better than Daniel's (lol).
Jeric Medina worked out his charisma singing 214 (Am I Real). He truly felt his song but the judges found minor off notes. Mentor Martin said that it was Jeric's most-relaxed performance though. KZ Tandingan, dubbed by Charice as the real 'Princess of Soul' sang Kisapmata in a Cesar Aguas arrangement. The judges found no wrong in her song, saying that it was sensational. KZ even made judge Gary cry.
Kedebon Colim entertained again with Toyang and the judges advised him to just ignore haters. Judge Gary also added that he wanted Kedebon to do other genre so that he can show his heart more which seemed to be his strength. Allen Sta. Maria closed the show with With A Smile. If KZ has had her title, mentor Charice also gave Allen her own, that is 'The Swag Princess.' Her performance was smooth just like the night she sang Carol Banawa. The judges saw the maturity in her this time. Allen is using her soft and loud voice perfectly and that made her stand-out from the rest.
