After weeks of competition, singing heartthrobs Joao Constancia, Niel Murillo, Russel Reyes, Tristan Ramirez, and Ford Valencia, were hailed the winners of talent-reality competition “Pinoy Boyband Superstar” during the show’s finale that aired via TFC and streamed live via TFC.tv.
They were officially introduced as BoybandPH, the name of the winning boyband, and performed together for the first time their first single “We Made It” written by Kiko Salazar and produced by Star Music.
Niel was named as the first member of the boyband during the first half of the two-day finale, after having gained the highest combined public votes and scores of superstar judges: Phenomenal Star Vice Ganda, K-Pop Sensation Sandara Park, Rock Superstar Yeng Constantino and Original HeartthrobAga Muhlach among the seven finalists.
On the second day of the finale, the scores were then reset to zero for their solo performances, with Russell, Joao, Ford and Tristan emerging victorious with the highest combined public votes and judges’ scores.
Other finalists Tony Labrusca and Mark Oblea, meantime, failed to get a spot in the boyband.
The five winners of “Pinoy Boyband Superstar” won exclusive contracts with Star Magic, recording contracts with Star Music, motorcycles and Php 5 million cash.
The two-night “Pinoy Boyband Superstar: The Grand Reveal” also featured a performance by award-winning singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid, who was officially introduced as one of the judges of “Your Face Sounds Familiar: Kids,” which premieres in 2017. Judge Sandara also stunned viewers with her performance of her K-pop hit “Kiss.”
“Pinoy Boyband Superstar,” the Philippine adaptation of reality singing show franchise “La Banda” created by Simon Cowell, was hosted by Billy Crawford.
