00:00How does it feel to be an actress?
00:05Every act, I feel different.
00:09You know, personally.
00:11Sometimes, I really want to show that I'm very talented.
00:14But sometimes, when I face you,
00:16you're not that extraordinary.
00:20But, wow!
00:21The charm, the sense of humor,
00:25really magnetizes the audience.
00:27So that, in other words,
00:29I cannot really pinpoint what I am looking for.
00:33Most of the time, it's gut feeling.
00:35And most of the time, I go to the basic,
00:37which is,
00:38Do you enjoy watching?
00:40You know, like that.
00:41So, that's what I think.
00:44That's what I observed
00:46from the past tapings that we already have.
00:51Hi, good afternoon.
00:53Okay, that's a very beautiful question.
00:55Let's start with the first one.
00:57My personal criteria,
00:59just for me, myself.
01:01I think,
01:03of course, the first one is the uniqueness.
01:05Because this is season 7.
01:07So, a lot has happened in our Philippines.
01:10Especially, FMG has been here since season 1.
01:14And, he's the one telling us,
01:16like, I've seen this.
01:17And we're just new here.
01:19So, when I say uniqueness,
01:21it can be singing,
01:23but it's like your own flavor.
01:25It can be dancing as a group,
01:26or dancing individually.
01:28But, what is the talent that,
01:30even if I watch it now,
01:32and 5 years from now,
01:34this is the kind of performance that I will never forget.
01:37And the kind of performance that,
01:39I can watch it 5 years from now,
01:43and I'll still be amazed.
01:44That's hard.
01:45Because, right, a lot of people can sing,
01:47dance,
01:48or whatever acts that,
01:49even if we're surprised,
01:51they can do it.
01:52But, it's like, it's hard to have a performance
01:55that will stand out to you,
01:56and a performance that will represent the Philippines.
02:00Right?
02:01So, it's really hard.
02:02And second, maybe, is the uniqueness,
02:04and then, of course, talent.
02:06We're looking for all kinds of talent,
02:08whatever it is.
02:09And, even us, the judges,
02:11we're surprised that,
02:13each and every Filipino's talent,
02:15all the crazy things that became talent,
02:18it's so interesting to watch.
02:20So, every time we're here to tape,
02:22it's like we're,
02:23I thought it was just chill,
02:25since we're in the studio.
02:27But, it's draining,
02:29emotionally, all emotions.
02:31It's like, you can talk to everyone,
02:33and it's different when you're up there,
02:35and you can see it up close,
02:37those who perform.
02:38And lastly, maybe, I'm looking for,
02:41maybe, your passion?
02:43Just like us, artists, right?
02:46Others, maybe,
02:47if, yes, you have the talent,
02:48but, it really,
02:49it's like,
02:50the fire within you,
02:51your passion,
02:52is different.
02:53So, we feel that,
02:54if you're just doing it
02:55for the sake of winning,
02:56for the money,
02:57or if you're just doing it
02:58for the sake of trending,
03:00or you're showing your talent
03:02because you want to showcase
03:04world-class Filipino talent,
03:06then that's different.
03:07So, for me, a unique talent,
03:09then that's a champion.
03:10So, I'm looking for those three things.
03:15That's amazing.
03:18First of all,
03:19before I answer the question,
03:20I want to say that
03:21the trailer is beautiful.
03:22It's our first time watching it.
03:24Right, guys?
03:25They're not showing it to us
03:26because they want a surprise.
03:28So, thank you so much for coming.
03:30Congratulations, guys.
03:31It's so good, guys.
03:32It's so exciting.
03:34It's so exciting.
03:36Alright, so,
03:37to answer your question,
03:40maybe, for me,
03:41it's what type of performance
03:44will move the room?
03:46The type of performance
03:47that after you watch it,
03:50your environment will shift
03:52to that type of performance.
03:54Because we see a lot of talent,
03:56and sometimes,
03:57it goes beyond that.
03:58You look at the charisma,
03:59you look at the personality,
04:00you look at how they conduct themselves.
04:02So, I think we're also looking within.
04:05What we see is
04:07how bad their fire is.
04:14How bad do they want this?
04:16Like that.
04:17Because we also see a lot of talent
04:18whose fire is okay.
04:21So, there's a lot that goes into it.
04:25And we always talk about it
04:26as judges or even with the hosts
04:29to even answer your second question.
04:31What's the feeling that
04:33we have a sort of power or say
04:35in becoming the next big thing
04:38or the winner of this contest?
04:41Of course, it's a very big responsibility.
04:44But I think,
04:45because everyone here
04:47is really putting in all of their efforts
04:50to really come up with
04:51the best possible way,
04:53we can fairly judge and critique
04:56all these contestants.
04:58I think the production did a good job
05:01in making sure that
05:02everyone here has a fair chance.
05:06And here, since it's my first time at BGT,
05:12this is where I really saw
05:14that Filipino talent is different.
05:16That you really need to see the world stage.
05:18So, that's what I'm hoping for.
05:20That's the heart of the show.
05:22So, yeah.
05:23And it's been a crazy experience so far.
05:26The most intense thing is
05:29we'll never know
05:31who we'll see
05:33to walk out of this stage.
05:34And that's what makes it so cool.
05:36So, just to be part of this,
05:38it's truly a blessing.
05:42And of course, surprisingly,
05:43our new judges are really good.
05:48For one, I've been judging for the last 6 years
05:51and this is the 7th year.
05:52I'm really jaded.
05:54I've seen everything.
05:55It's so difficult for me
05:58to look for that right talent
06:01that would make a difference.
06:03But, definitely, there's only one word
06:07that would describe
06:08the wow factor
06:10when you meet them.
06:11You know,
06:12this is it.
06:13Which they describe in so many words.
06:16How the room will change with Donnie.
06:19Right?
06:20How it affects you.
06:21But, it's really hard to judge.
06:24And these people are so nice
06:26that they're kind to the talents.
06:29That when they're there,
06:31they're still approaching them.
06:33As a result, you'll fall again.
06:35You're good.
06:36So, I love working with these people.
06:39Anyway, can I just say,
06:41I still feel nervous
06:43when I'm with Ms. Eugene.
06:44Because, of course,
06:45it's my first time here.
06:47So, every time I'm there,
06:49I still feel nervous.
06:50That's when I realized
06:51that it's really hard to judge.
06:53It's just simple when I look at
06:55Ms. Eugene on my left.
06:57It's different when there's a fellow
07:00female that I can see.
07:01And then, Ate Mela is there.
07:03So, the energy that we're giving
07:05to the females is different.
07:07Thank you, also, for guiding me.
07:09Yes, my God.
07:10And also, just to share,
07:12all of them are right.
07:14That's it.
07:15I just want to share with you
07:17that I'm not here
07:19if it wasn't for Jess and Katrina.
07:21I'm one of them.
07:23So, I think that's worth noting.
07:27Please note that.
07:28Because, for a while,
07:29I've been thinking,
07:30what show will I do next?
07:33What's my next project?
07:35And, my God, this show landed on my lap.
07:39And I just said,
07:40I think this is the best show.
07:43I mean, this is the most entertaining show.
07:48If the Filipinos have given up on TV,
07:51don't.
07:52The best is yet to come.
07:54PGD is the best show.
07:57If not, Sir Freddie wouldn't be here.
08:00Right, Sir Freddie?
08:02I mean, this is everything.
08:03This is entertainment.
08:04This is talent.
08:05And this is Filipino.
08:07What more can you ask for?
08:35You
08:37You
08:39You
08:41You
