After the great battle of voices in The Voice of the Philippines adult edition, here comes another round of battles but this time from the young, powerful and unique voices from the little ones, the Kids.

Last night was the pilot episode of The Voice Kids on ABS-CBN.  This is the highly anticipated show where kids can make their dreams come true and the first kids shown was a power house.  I think the mentors will be having a hard time choosing the kids for them to coach.

The pilot episode started with great vocal supremacy that comes from the little ones and here is the first 3-chair turner, Jimlord "Jimboy" Garcia, a 12-year-old kid from Paniqui, Tarlac with his version of "Faithfully".



Returning coaches Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo, Rock Superstar Bamboo, and Broadway Diva Lea Salonga find the best voices of Filipino kids aged eight to 14. Like the other international versions of “The Voice Kids,” only three coaches will sit in the red swivel chairs and select the artists they want to mentor just by listening to the aspirant's singing voice in the Blind Auditions.

Soon to be aired on TV5, Kanta Pilipinas will be TV5's biggest reality singing search that will call for the entire nation to sing. It's not a mere singing contest as it will delve deeper into the lives of each contestant. Kanta Pilipinas will transform the lives of these ordinary individuals to be the star that the entire Philippines will admire. The program includes a Cinderella-makeover segment that will further boost each contestants appeal and that will catapult them to singing sensation status.

Open to all Filipinos, 14-30 years old, Kanta Pilipinas will scour the whole country in a nationwide search. Applicants can be a solo, duo, or group act of any genre. The nationwide search will begin this the February. Stay tuned to TV5 for announcements.
