Another Filipino singer shines on the world stage and received a standing ovation from Simon Cowell and the three other judges of “Britain’s Got Talent” last Saturday, April 13.
11-year-old Arixsandra Libantino from Nottingham who was born to Filipino parents from Llanera, Nueva Ecija performed a version of Jennifer Hudson’s “One Night Only,” which left Cowell and fellow judges Amanda Holden, David Walliams, and Alesha Dixon speechless.
Libantino had already made her debut on “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2011 as a painfully shy 9-year-old who nonetheless had the audience and the judges at the palm of her hands as soon as she sang her first note.
But for some reasons, Libantino audition attracted flak from some people. One Night Only tells a story of a woman telling her lover just before they will part that they have one night ‘til dawn to not pretend to care and forget about chances.
