On the season premiere of “The Voice,” all four judges turned their chairs for 16-year-old Filipino-American Anatalia Villaranda during her performance of the Bruno Mars hit “Runaway Baby.”
Following her audition, judge Blake Shelton requested she bring out her family, after fellow judge Alicia Keys called them “Amazing.”
Villaranda tweeted last year that she is “full blood Pinay” and that her mother is from Bacolod City and her father is from Manila.
Keys and Shelton were the first to turn their chairs, they were shortly followed by Gwen Stefani and Adam Levine.
“The greatness that you have is something you can’t teach,” Levine said to Villaranda. “You could win this entire thing.”
She eventually chose to join Keys’ team./WDJ
