Justine, technically, what you’re doing there is unbelievable. Like it is unbelievable for thirteen years old. And you came on that stage and look so calm, composed, professional. And most of all, just effortless. And what an amazing way to kick off this final. Well done,” Danny Jones said. <a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/8/16/fresh-scoops/three-talented-pinoy-kids-advance-to-the-semi-fina-230895' target='_blank'>READ: Three talented Pinoy kids advance to the semi-finals of The Voice Kids UK 2020</a>“Spectacular. Like there was not one low, dull moment in that performance. Everything was — it just kept getting better and better. Like your finale, how you ended it, wow,” will.i.am stated. “We’ve been in lockdown and that’s like one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen in my life. Sorry. But this is better than any of the coaches have ever done in any of our lives. Like honestly, that was world-class. I’m blown away. And I feel grateful that you’re so humble enough to come and sing to little old us ‘cause that was a very expensive performance,” Paloma Faith said. “And you know what, too, your performance is like the perfect performance to prove anyone wrong that kids under 14 don’t have extraordinary talent. You are like the poster child for “The Voice Kids,” will.i.am added. “I know how much you’ve grown. You didn’t know you could sing these notes. You were singing these notes higher than Beyoncé. You’ve had that in you all along. But now because you’re believing in yourself — and I just feel so lucky that I got to witness that all those people that said you had no talent, you’ve just proved them one hundred percent wrong,” Pixie Lott remarked.
