Kids’ showdown on Pop Star Kids finals
By Isah V. RedFive talented kids, or so say the judges, have made it to the grand finals of Pop Star Kids, capping the first season of QTV-11’s search for the next child superstar.
Rita Daniela Iringan, Pocholo Bismonte, Renzo Ramil Almario, Vanessa Blanca Rangadhol and Julie Ann San Jose will be featured in a showdown of vocal calisthenics on Sept. 17.
Rita Daniela Iringan She is no stranger to stage performance. Rita Daniela is, after all, the grandchild of postwar comedian Teroy de Guzman.
The doe-eyed fifth grader at St. Rita’s College has always dreamed of being in show business, and joining Pop Star Kids is the first step toward realizing that dream.
Pop Star Kids is the very first competition that Rita has joined.
Now that she’s got one foot in show business, she is looking forward to be in a duet with her idol Jolina Magdangal. Asked what song she’d like to sing to choose for their duet, “Paper Roses po,” she says excitedly.
Renzo Ramil Almario Classical singer, rock balladeer. If such kid exists, Renzo Ramil Almario is it. Singled out from the bunch by musical director Danny Tan after he heard him singing the second verse of “Dakilang Lahi,” Renzo has since wowed the audience with his rendition of Maroon 5’s “This Love,” made feet a-stomping with his take on Hoobastank’s “Reason” and earned his ticket to the finals when he lent his young voice to Pinoy Pop Superstar Jonalyn Viray’s “Close To Where You Are.”
“He even sang Lupang Hinirang Pavarrotti-style once,” beamed Daddy Ramil, Renzo’s proud father.
Hitting the high notes and shifting to the low ones with ease might as well be Renzo’s edge. Something he is aware of and is carefully using to his advantage.
Vanessa Rangadhol Call it serendipity, or call it luck, but definitely the ones who have heard Vanessa Blanca Rangadhol belting out those solid notes, one would readily agree that she deserves to be one of the five finalists.
The nine-year-old Indian Filipino youngster was just tagging along with her friends who went to Quezon City to try their luck. Fate was kind on Vanessa who hit the right notes and got the breaks even before the day was over.
She is immensely enjoying the attention that she is starting to get since the road tour and mall shows of Pop Star Kids Five Grand Contenders.
Julie Anne San Jose Sugar and spice and everything nice. That’s how the guys over at Pop Star Kids describe the 12-year-old Julie Anne San Jose.
A first year high school student from Bagbag, Novaliches, she relates how she and her mother Marivic had snuck out from Daddy Jonathan’s watchful eyes to rush to SM Fairview for the auditions. The long line, huge crowd and the oppressive heat did not discourage Julie Anne.
Mommy Marivic recalls how they already sensed Julie Anne’s musical inclination as early as when she was two years old when she surprised everyone in the family singing Wency Cornejo’s “Habang May Buhay.” Donna Cruz eventually became the young singer wannabe’s idol.
Being part of their church choir is one of the things she loves doing during weekends. She feels this is her way of serving their church aside from participating in the celebration of the Mass every Sunday. Her charitable nature brings her to say that if she is fortunate to win the Pop Star Kids Grand Finals, “I will share this blessing by donating a part of it to our church, to the Kapuso Foundation of GMA Network and save the rest in the bank for my future.”
Pocholo Bismonte He was number 378 in the audition line. But together with his mother Rosemarie, they waited in line until their turn finally came. Traveling all the way from San Pedro, Laguna, mother and son were ecstatic when they were given positive results by the production staff. The events that led him to being the second Pop Star Kids grand finalist may be compiled in one chapter in the 11-year-old’s life that he will always treasure.
Having joined several talent contests in the past, including the popular “That’s My Boy” of Eat Bulaga when he was five, Pocholo has gained a certain level of confidence in performing and in competition.
Pocholo is naturally generous. There was a time, his mother recalls, when he volunteered to use his prize money from one singing contest to buy a television set for the family.
Pocholo hopes that joining PSK brings a string of good vibes and memories to his young life. Asked what he will do in case he doesn’t bring home the PSK title, “It’s all right, there’s Pinoy Pop Superstar to look forward to!”
