HINDI napigilang maiyak ni Katy Perry, isa sa hurado sa bagong season ng American Idol sa naging performance ng Fil-American singer na si Francisco Martin nang awitin nito ang Falling Like The Stars ni James Arthur.
Comment ng preggy judge, sa naging performance ni Francisco, “I’m sorry because I’m having a day. I don’t fit into my stuff and then when you sang those lines about having four kids and getting down on each knee.
“I was like… sure it was hormones but it was believability, too. It was believability and I felt it.”
Comment naman ng country singer na si Luke Bryan, isang “diamond in the rough” si Francisco at baka napaiyak din siya kung mayroon din siyang hormonal issue.
“You know Francisco, you’re like a diamond in the rough. You know how to get the emotion out of the song. If I was a little hormonal, I’d be crying right now.”
Comment naman ng iconic singer na si Lionel Richie, “First of all, I cannot just tell you how proud I am of your mom for being a first responder. A shout out to your mom for sure.
“Let me talk about you for a minute, halfway through that song I just saw you fly out of that nervousness and give us exactly what you’re all about which is a true talent. Good luck.”
Pasok na sa Top 10 from Top 20 ang pambato ng mga Pinoy na si Francisco na umaasang maususungkit ang titulong American Idol New Season Grand Winner sa tulong ng boto ng mga Pinoy.
