00:04 I'm so thankful that they chose me as a judge because I believe in them very much.
00:11 And, actually, they won a champion in the National P-Pop Contest.
00:18 And even though they are still young, they won an award in Proudly Pinoy 2023 as People's Choice Excellence Award
00:29 for being outstanding in their achievements.
00:32 But, here, they are five, they dreamed of each other.
00:36 I talked to them, each of them made a lot of sacrifices just to be part of this group.
00:43 My bet on the battle of the best is the P-Pop Boy Group, Versus.
00:51 Annette, how did you process the Versus in creating the concept for their performance?
00:58 Actually, they put in a lot of hard work.
01:03 They thought of the song.
01:05 I didn't know the dance steps because they are really good.
01:10 But, the concept, I said, you need to add something extra,
01:15 you need to be visually stunning, you need to connect with the audience,
01:19 bring them closer, give it your all because this is their chance.
01:25 They are dreaming, but this is their chance.
01:28 Do you know, I have a trivia for all five of you.
01:32 It's not just Miss Annette who wanted to choose you before.
01:36 Guess who the judge is. Who else wanted to choose you before?
01:41 I think it's Mambea.
01:43 Oh, Mambea.
01:45 Really?
01:47 Yes, I wanted them on my team also.
01:51 So, based on their performance, is there anything you want to say to them?
01:55 Or, they didn't get to be on the show?
01:58 Are you feeling bad?
02:00 Tito Boy, you asked the right question.
02:03 I'm really feeling bad right now.
02:06 Of course, there's something to be said because your stage presence was really good.
02:13 I'm not supposed to say this because you are my team's rival.
02:18 You did very well.
02:20 Thank you.
02:21 Tito Boy, what do you think about their performance?
02:26 You are a total package.
02:28 I think Annette achieved what you wanted her to do.
02:31 You wanted her to connect with the audience.
02:33 You wanted her to deliver a stunning performance.
02:36 She delivered it.
02:38 For me, this is just a general reminder.
02:42 Because you are the type of people who can compete internationally.
02:47 I hope you won't forget that in every number that you do, you are a P-POP.
02:53 What makes you Filipino in every song?
02:57 Yes, yes.
02:59 Thank you, Tito Boy.
03:01 Some people do this with a head mic.
03:05 But to dance, you have to hold it with your hand.
03:09 You can't let go of it.
03:11 And it's right if you're going to change your hand.
03:14 You did well.
03:17 Thank you, judges. Thank you, Versus.
03:18 Thank you, Versus.
03:19 Thank you, judges.
03:20 Thank you, judges.
03:21 Thank you, judges.
03:23 Thank you, judges.
