#DAVOICETVKPH #GRANDFINALS WOOH DATS AN BEAUTIFUL HIT SONG £ITS AN BEAUTIFUL DUET BETWEEN DARREN E£TITO MARTIN!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Darren, don’t despair. We all know that you are truly The Voice winner but as you said “Lyka deserves the prizes.” I already from the very start that the public votes will go to Lyka because of pity, not because of her voice, although she has it, too, but you have the BIG “IT!” It’s like what happened to American Idol. It should be the professional people in the music industry who should be asked to judge, not the public, whose choice is not “The Voice” but “The Popular.” Like last year, Mitoy was not the best but because he has tons of friends in the industry, he won. It’s SAD.
Actually , i couldn’t wait so i surfed the internet only to be sad and disappointed that you didn’t win. I then started to watch your performances over and over again and your performances in Canada—-as Leah said “Phenominal!”
I hope you stay in the Philippines for good to pursue your career.
Can you audition for American Idol here in the U.S.?
Hope to hear back from you. Grabe ang galing mo. Sana biguan ka ng career ng ABS-CBN. I saw Cory Vidanes hugged you and I hope she will take care of your career.
sana makita ku si darren kasi super fun nya ako at sana kahit saglit lang maka.sap ku sya.. ingat ka palagi ha at congrats 🙂 <3
I hope not Mimi, I wish he leave ph coz the show he just joined is a lie how can he trust them even us viewer I lose the interest to watch again. I can’t help not to think that result may be manipulated and ABS has decided to give in favor to Lyca. I cannot rely also on result coz they werent shown in public. Undeniable Darren should be the winner but it will just remain in our heart and mind that a 12 year boy bravely traveled to show us that he is a proud Filipino with exceptional talent.
Continue your dream kid and continue studying in CA. As Leah said you really don’t this contest after all so go and claim your real victory in your hometown. I’m always be a fan that will support and buy your track in iTunes.
