“The Voice Kids” runner-up Darren Espanto is set to join the award-winning singer Jed Madela in his concert dubbed as “All Request” to be held on September 12, 2014 at the Music Museum.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News’ MJ Felipe, Jed Madela said that the young singer was the most-requested artist at his upcoming concert. “Isa siya sa pinakamalaki naming pasabog doon sa show, kasi talagang pinaghandaan namin. Maraming nag-request ng duet sa amin,” he said.
Darren Espanto and Jed Madela have already performed together for several times especially in ABS-CBN’s variety show “ASAP 19” and in the morning lifestyle show “Kris TV”
Jed Madela also said that he has been a fan of Darren Espanto since he joined the singing competition. He even compared him to Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo in terms of stage presence.
Recalling the finals night of “The Voice Kids”, where Lyca Gairanod was named as the grand champion, the 37-year-old singer said that he was shocked by the results which led him to post his reaction on Twitter and Instagram although it will gain criticisms.
Despite receiving negative comments from the netizens, Jed Madela said that he stands on what said, noting that he will not apologize for his posts.
“Sabi ko, ‘You know what, this is a personal opinion.’ Magaling silang apat. Everybody had their time to shine and everybody who watched them had their own choices. Ako, ang naging choice ko, si Darren,” he said.
