As expected, last night October 6, 2012 Saturday at the PAGCOR Theater, the three grand finalists (namely: Gabriel Anciano Maturan, KZ Tandingan, and the Daddy's Home) of the first X Factor Philippines had their last performance. Each of the three remaining X Factor Philippines contestant gave their passionate performance while they were backed up by the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra and the XFP Band.
The show was started with a mash-up of "Raise Your Glass" (Pink) and "Dynamite (Taio), with special guest, singer Lani Misalucha, who returned to the Philippines and just came back from Hawaii last Friday.
X Factor Philippines also had live remote spots from the finalists' hometowns. Maturan's supporters from his home province of Zamboanga del Norte went all the way to Cagayan de Oro to cheer him on, while Tandingan's kababayans from Digos gathered at Davao City and Daddy's Home's fans watched the show live from Marikina City.
Daddy's Home started the final showdown last night and they chose the religious hit of their mentor Gary Valenciano, they did the inspirational rendition of the song "Gaya ng Dati," with each member taking solo turns on the song's verses and bridge, while also showing off their trademark harmonies.
Gabriel Maturan was up next, choosing Fantasia Barrino's coronation song on "American Idol," the soulful "I Believe." Maturan started the song slowly until he reached the chorus and then showed off his powerful voice and solid falsetto. He also added an extended adlib at the end before ending the song again on a soft note.
KZ Tandingan was the last one to perform and she chose The Carpenters' "Superstar," giving it her usual jazzy touch and also extended adlibs.
After Vina Morales performed a Jennifer Lopez medley, the three grand finalists returned performing with guest artists. Daddy's Home sang "Through the Fire" with soul singer Nina, while KZ Tandingan sung "The Way We Were" with OPM legend Rico J. Puno. Gabriel Maturan closes the show and performed together with Bamboo on the song "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" which is originally sung by "the Script".
Soon The first grand winner of "The X Factor Philippines" will be announced on the results show on Sunday after "Sarah G Live" on ABS-CBN. Follow our post to have fresh news on X-Factor Philippines.
