Jed Madela on Your Face Sound’s Familiar’s contenders: ‘Sobrang galing nila talaga lahat’

Apart from the upcoming finale of the second season of Your Face Sounds Familar this month, Jed Madela said he is also looking forward to spending Christmas and New Year in his new home for the first time. "I'm planning to bring my family over, yung pamilya ko sa Ilo-Ilo dadalhin ko dito but of course gagawin pa rin namin yung traditional naming ginagawa, yung simbang gabi at pagluluto ng Noche Buena, yujng pagbubukas ng mga regalo ng sabay sabay. Hindi pa namin na-plan yung menu. Pag-uusapan pa namin ng mommy ko yan so malamang papaluto pa rin nila yung beef stew ko na halos lahat ngayon hinihingi yung recipe. Yun yung sigurado na nasa Noche Buena. So it's not going to be much of a big change, yun lang ibang lugar naman. Bahay ko na,” he shared during the River Park Christmas Musical Lights Show opening held last December 1 at Festival Mall in Filinvest, Alabang.

According to the 38-year-old singer, December is definitely his favorite part of the year. "Ako kasi among all the holidays sa buong taon Christmas is my favorite. I don't know, the vibe of everybody, kahit na magkaaway kayo o magkagalit kayo, feeling okay kayong lahat. Everybody looks forward to Christmas. It's a happy holiday talaga. I personally look forward to Christmas kasi I get to spend time with my family and close friends, of course there's the Christmas shopping para sa mga regalo. It's very important to me kaya happy ako na malapit na ang Christmas," he shared.

With the Season 2 finale just days away now, Jed said he can’t wait to see the outcome with this current batch. "I'm very excited. Both excited and sad at the same time kasi patapos na rin yung second season. It's been a wonderful season, ang gagaling ng walo na sumali. I'm really happy na nakasama ko ulit yung mga co-jurors ko si Sir Gary (Valenciano) at si Mega (Sharon Cuneta). I'm looking forward to another season but of course in December eto na ang final showdown ng ating mga nakapasok sa finals. Yung season 1 versus season 2 episode namin sobrang saya kasi it's been a while since we last saw na nakumpleto yung season 1 ng Your Face and to see all of them in one stage doing what they do best na nakikita namin yung talent nilang lahat ulit kung saan namin sila nakitang nag-grow. Parang nostalgic to see them again and to see them with a new batch. Sobrang galing nila talaga lahat,” he admitted.

Although he could not divulge exact details of the preparations for the finale, Jed said it is worth the wait for fans of the show. "Yung episode next weekend abangan nila yun. I think kumbaga yung pinaka-exclamation point ng competition na ito, sobrang hirap ng pinagdaanan ng walo na contestants ng season 2 so abangan nila ang final weekend ng Your Face Sounds Familiar Season 2. It's something really different na hindi pa nagagawa on TV, in a competition lalo. Medyo madugo yung pagkagawa. The contestants and the staff really prepared for this grand finale,” he shared.
