Japs Mendoza vs Diday Garcellano (Video) | The Voice of the Philippines Battle Rounds

Check out the video of the battle between Japs Mendoza and Diday Garcillano in The Voice of the Philippines which was aired Saturday, August 3.

Japs Mendoza and Diday Garcellano, both artists of Team Lea, performed Daylight of Maroon 5, ending with their version of Adam Levine and Alicia Keys' Grammys 2013 duet. Japs was quite off during the first part of the battle but when the chorus came, the two played great music. That contrast in their voices made the performance worth watching. Coach Lea has spoken up and she chose Diday, yet still aware of Japs' capability as an artist.

Here's the video of Japs Mendoza versus Diday Garcellano in The Voice PH Battle Rounds:

The Voice of the Philippines Battles Heat Up with Triangle Fights

Six pairs and two trios are set to turn up the competition as teams get whittled down in another wave of the Battles Round this Saturday (August 3) and Sunday (August 4) in the country’s top-rating and Twitter-trending singing-reality show “The Voice of the Philippines.”

First up on the battle stage are two ‘gods’– RnB artist Thor Dulay and alternative rocker Sir Lord Lumibao – both coach Apl de Ap’s team members who will deliver a vocal duel of a popular RnB song.

Thor burst through as an early standout in “The Voice” as he was the first artist to trend on Twitter for his performance that made the four coaches push their buttons and turn their chairs during the Blind Auditions. 

Despite this, Sir Lord remains unfazed and feels even more challenged to come out of his comfort zone by stepping away from his genre. He said that he also relies on his ability to make outstanding covers of songs and his experience performing in a band.

Also facing off in competitive duets are Penelope Matanguihan, Moira dela Torre, Cara Manglapus for Team Apl; Japs Mendoza vs Diday Garcillano and Taw Muhammad vs Kimpoy Mainit for Team Lea; Angelique Alcantara vs Deb Victa vs Nicole Parada and Paolo Onesa vs the Cordovales duo for Team Bamboo; and Yuki Ito vs Kathreen Castro and Junji Arias vs Dave Lamar for Team Sarah.

The 21-year-old fresh graduate from Batangas joined Pinoy Idol of GMA-7 in 2008 when she was just 16 and finished in 7th place to the winner, Gretchen Espina. Penelope, a perennial singing champion in contests and raring to fight for her family, was visited by host Robi Domingo to bring the good news.

Performing Beyonce's Love on Top, Penelope made three chairs to turn for her, and later chose Apl de Ap  over Sarah Geronimo and Lea Salonga as her coach.

Watch Penelope Matanguihan's performance below.

Japs Mendoza Duets with Bamboo in The Voice of the Philippines

The Voice of the Philippines artist Japs Mendoza got to perform with coach Bamboo Manalac on the show's July 14 episode. Japs and Bamboo did a duet on the latter's hit Truth, which Japs sang during his Blind Auditions.

Japs said that he idolized Bamboo and felt the groove of the song. However, the rocker didn’t turn his chair for him. Instead, coach Lea Salonga was the one who pushed her button for the 16-year-old Bulacan native.

"I will teach you how to find your own voice. That’s why I’m so excited I turned my chair for you," Lea told Japs Mendoza. 

Finding the artist as moldable, the Truth reprise of Japs and Bamboo justified, according to coach Lea her decision to pick the teenager as he has a lot of potential. Watch Bamboo and Japs Mendoza Truth duet below.

Joining Japs Mendoza in Team Lea is his fellow Bulakenyo Rainier Acosta, who advanced to the Battles on Sunday's episode together with former Pinoy Idol Top 7 finalist Penelope Matanguihan (Team Apl) (watch Penelope's performance here), beauty queen Lecelle Trinidad (Team Sarah) and student Talia Reyes (Team Bamboo).
