Balik-audition para sa ‘America’s Got Talent Season 20’… Fil-Am singer na si JESSICA SANCHEZ, nabigyan ng Golden Buzzer  

MARAMI ang namangha sa pagsasalita ng Korean ng Kapuso Primetime Princess na si Barbie Forteza sa pinagbibidahan niyang serye na ‘Beauty Empire’, na mula sa GMA, Viu, at CreaZion Studios.

Sa eksena ni Barbie, na gumaganap bilang Noreen sa serye, bigla siyang nagbitiw ng mga linya sa wikang Koreano matapos siyang sitahin ni Alex, ginagampanan ng South Korean actor na si Choi Bo-min, habang nasa bar kung saan kinompronta niya si Shari, ginagampanan ni Kyline Alcantara, dahil sa pagnanakaw ng serum formula.

Pasado kay Bo-min ang pagko-Koreano ni Barbie.

“Sobrang na-appreciate ko no’n si Choi Bo-min kasi kino-correct n’ya naman ako kung mali ako pero ‘yung umere, na very good n’ya ko no’n.”

Pag-amin pa ng Kapuso star, 15 minuto lamang ang ibinigay sa kanya para makabisado ang kanyang linya at ma-practice ang kanyang diction sa dayuhang lenggwahe.

“I just had to learn it 15 minutes before take. Yung mga Korean lines ko, laging surprise e.”

NABIGYAN ng Golden Buzzer ang Filipino-American singer na si Jessica Sanchez sa pagbalik nito to audition for ‘America’s Got Talent Season 20’.

Noong una siyang mag-audition sa AGT in 2005 sa edad na 10, na-eliminate siya at nasaktan daw siya noon.

“I did get eliminated, it was devastating. But it really did help me realize, like I wanna sing. ‘AGT’ was the beginning of that fire sparked inside of me. I was really young and I was so swayed by what everybody wanted me to be, who they wanted me to be.

“Maybe it took me 20 years but I know exactly who I am, I know exactly what I want. I’m excited to be back,” sey ni Jessica na sabay reveal na pregnant siya with her first child.

Nabigyan siya ng standing ovation sa rendition niya ng Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” with a live band.

Sey ng AGT judge na si Sofia Vergara: “Something very special happened on the stage with you. This was a special moment and I think that you deserve this,” sabay pindot ng ‘Modern Family’ star sa Golden Buzzer.

Mula naman may Judge Simon Cowell: “You’re an absolute star!”

At 16, sumali sa ‘American Idol Season 11’ si Jessica at naging first runner-up siya. Lumabas din siya sa series na ‘Glee’ in 2013.
