Prior to winning, mentor Michael Bublé noted that Vasquez could be the first Filipino and Asian to win the show after all its 26 seasons
MANILA, Philippines – Filipino singer Sofronio Vasquez won The Voice USA, on Tuesday, December 10 (US time).
Prior to winning, according to Vasquez’s mentor, Michael Bublé, said the singer could be the first one of Filipino and Asian descent with the chance to win the prestigious competition. Now, Vasquez has made history after 26 seasons of the show.
The singer was formerly a contestant on It’s Showtime‘s “Tawag ng Tanghalan” contest, where he only managed to reach the semifinals, as Philstar reported.
For his finale piece, Vasquez sang “A Million Dreams” from The Greatest Showman:
“America please lend your ears and vote to this man! He is the real deal. HE IS THE VOICE!” said one commenter on the YouTube video.
“Been watching The Voice since forever. Sofronio made me vote for the first time,” said another.
Prior to the winner announcement, another commenter said, noting the previous failures at the singer’s multiple turns at local talent shows including The Voice Philippines: “Sofronio’s all-out performance is the very picture of the American Dream. In a world brimming with heartbreak, his voice paves the way for a million second chances. After his incredible journey, anything less than victory tonight at The Voice would feel like a letdown of epic proportions.” – Rappler.com
