Kean Cipriano who impersonated Randy Santiago, performed the hit song of the singer titled “Babaero,” complete with Santiago’s signature moves and unique gestures.

Right after the performance of Kean Cipriano, Jed Madela one of the show’s judges told Kean that he transported them back to the 80s and 90s. He was quoted as saying “The hair, everything, pati ‘yung galaw ni Randy, kuhang-kuha. Mahirap mag-express ‘pag nakatago ‘yung mata, but, Randy Santiago always connects to his audience, he always connects not just through his voice, but through his movements, and that’s what you did tonight,” Jed Madela told Cipriano.

Veteran singer Sharon Cuneta, who once worked with Randy Santiago, said that she almost called Kean Cipriano “Kuya” as soon as he appeared on stage during the Saturday’s edition of the second season of Your Face.

Mr. Energy Gary Valenciano also lauded Kean Cipriano’s performance channeling Randy Santiago and commented that:”I have worked with Randy Santiago many times. Nakita ko siya, alam ko ‘yung mga galaw niya, talagang ineeksamen ko siya, kung ano ‘yung posture niya, kung paano niyang nakukuha ‘yung kiliti, kumbaga, ng mga fans ano. Nakuha mo ‘yun eh. Tonight you were not just a performer, you were a showman,” Gary Valenciano told Cipriano.
