MANILA – The tables were turned when “The Voice of the Philippines” coach Lea Salonga was asked what she think would happen if she joined the popular singing competition.
In an interview with Mega magazine, where she appears as the latest cover girl, Salonga said she is not even sure if the show’s coaches would turn their chairs for her.
During the blind auditions, coaches of “The Voice of the Philippines” turn their chairs for talents who they think have what it takes to be part of their respective teams.
“First of all, would anybody turn? That’s the thing. I don’t know if it would have turned for me. There was a girl that actually sounded like me and I didn’t even turn. That would be a tough one. I wouldn’t know what to say,” she said.
Salonga was referring to Katherine dela Cruz, who has played the lead role of Kim in a local production of “Miss Saigon” in California.
Dela Cruz failed to turn a single chair for her performance of John Legend’s “All of Me” during the blind auditions for the second season of “The Voice of the Philippines.” But Salonga, the original Kim of “Miss Saigon,” gamely performed “I Still Believe” from the musical with the contestant.
