ABS-CBN Studios went backstage to witness the glitter, the final transformations, and the concert-level energy at the "Your Face Sounds Familiar" Season 4 Grand Showdown.
Last Sunday, April 12, the trending impersonation ‘competition’ ended with a 'pasabog' Grand Showdown, where all seven celebrity performers brought their absolute best to the finish line.
Jason Dy stayed committed to his signature gender-switch performances until the very end, closing out his run with a Beyoncé act. Bringing rock royalty to the stage, Jarlo Base transformed into the legendary Freddie Mercury.
JM Dela Cerna and Marielle Montellano's power vocals rattled the studio as Jennifer Holliday and Jessica Sanchez in a performance of "And I Am Telling You."
Living up to her Gen Z Total Performer title, Alexa Ilacad made sure her vocals and dance skills fired at full force as she channeled Shakira. Turning up the heat, Akira Morishita commanded attention as he brought sexy back in his Justin Timberlake transformation.
Radiating her own kind of star power, Dia Mate shone bright as Rihanna, delivering a sparkling performance of "Diamonds." And closing out the Grand Showdown with an explosion of color, Rufa Mae Quinto delivered a full concert-level number as Katy Perry.
But only one could be crowned Grand Winner. With 50% of the combined scores from the panel—composed of Gary Valenciano, Ogie Alcasid, mentors Klarisse de Guzman and Nyoy Volante, and guest jurors Karla Estrada and Erik Santos—plus 50% of the carry-over scores from Rounds 1 to 12, the tandem of JM and Marielle rose to the top of the scoreboard, making them the first duo Grand Winner of "Your Face Sounds Familiar."
The energy backstage was just as electric, with everyone cheering each other on through every transformation and every performance. Darren Espanto was spotted showing up to support one of his besties, Alexa. We love the friendship!
And spreading even more cuteness backstage was Sarina, the unica hija of host Jhong Hilario, who it must be said, was looking absolutely fashionable alongside his hosting partner Vhong Navarro.
It was, without a doubt, one of the most electric nights in "Your Face Sounds Familiar" history—and the photos say it all better than words ever could, so scroll through the album and relive the glittery, fun and heartwarming behind-the-scenes moments from the Season 4 Grand Showdown!
