On the May 6th episode of "The Voice Teens", a Filipina girl who grew up in Hong Kong completely surprised the coaches with her performance.
Gia Gonzales, 15, sang The Chainsmokers' hit song "Roses" – which turned all four of the coaches' chairs.
When coach Lea Salonga asked about Gia’s background and other talents – it was revealed that the teen was born in Hong Kong and was fluent in Cantonese.
There was even a small comedy segment where a translator came on stage and spoke in Cantonese with her.
The coaches were seriously confused because of the language barrier. Good thing The Voice Teens was a singing contest and not a language contest!
Gonzales even admitted that she was still learning how to speak Tagalog.
"It was a beautiful, flawless performance, but the cool part is umaapaw iyong kasiyahan sa iyo," Coach Lea said
She also pointed out Gonzales' "very new and very current sound."
Coach Sarah Geronimo said that she really enjoyed hearing Gonzales sing, which is why she pressed her button immediately.
“Natural ka” Sarah said, calling the teen singer a "star" in the making.
Coach Bamboo agreed with Sarah, noting how easy it was for Gonzales feed off of the audience’s energy.
“It’s one thing to perform and enjoy it by yourself, and for yourself. And it’s another thing to perform for people to enjoy and you did both.” Coach Sharon Cuneta said.
“The Megastar” hoped that Gonzales would join her team – saying she likes having someone who enjoys the limelight as a part of her team.
After all was said and done, Gonzales picked Coach Geronimo to be her mentor.
