Pinoy gets through blind auditions of The Voice of Ireland (Video)

Another Filipino is soon to make a global wave in the singing arena as 41-year-old Rowell Villones passes an audition for The Voice of Ireland.


Just recently, we had Rose 'Osang' Fostanes as the ultimate champion in the just-concluded X-Factor Israel.

All Rowell needed was one judge to continue to the next rounds, and he did it. Judge Niall Breslin aka Bressie turn his seat to show his interest to mentor the Filipino singer.

In his comments, Bressie said:

It was note perfect. There was no pitching issues. You knew the song inside out, but you were so comfortable

I might choose songs you're not so comfortable with. You're gonna have to work hard. But I promise you if you work with me, we will get fantastic tunes and there's some beautiful songs people might not expect, but I already know in my head. People like you already keep me awake at night, thinking of songs. They're the people I want in my team because it makes it harder and I like having a bit of a challenge

Pinoy singers are crossing the borders big time. Last year, another Filipino singer joined and won in The Voice UK 2013. He was Joseph Apostol.
