MANILA, Philippines - Three young artists once again fought for a chance to move on to the next round on the second season of "The Voice Kids" on Sunday, August 2, 2015.
Jiah Austria (Laguna), Akisha Sianson (Cebu) and Kiyana Bongat (Cavite) from coach Lea Salongas's team kicked off the competition with their rendition of Donna Cruz hit "Kapag Tumibok Ang Puso."
Rock icon Bamboo Mañalac opted for Akisha due to clarity of her voice while the Popstar Princess chose Jiah saying she enjoyed the song.
Prior to announcing her choice, Salonga noted the strengths each artist showed in their performance.
"I ask you guys to have fun. Jiah, talagang lumabas ka sa shell mo and this is the most fun I think with the song. Akisha, yung ganung energy mo, naging advantage mo pero di mo sinacrifice yung singing. Kiyana, you grew the most without taking chances."
Salonga went for Akisha, who will be joining Jonalyn Pepito, Luke Alford and Jhyleanne Rington in the Sing-Offs.
