Comedian Melai Contiveros impersonated Rihanna and performed ‘Umbrella’ on Sunday’s episode of ABS-CBN weekly show ‘Your Face Sounds Familiar.’
After her dream performance, Melai received a standing ovation from the three judges of the show. Megastar Sharon Cuneta said it was her best and the first time Cantiveros performed seriously.
Jed Madela agreed, “You always make us happy, you always make us laugh, you make us smile, but tonight, you entertained us with your performance,” he said.
Last night, the show revealed the winner and it wasn’t Melai! The highest scores went to Maxene Magalona who performed “Mga Kababayan Ko,” originally sang by her father Francis M.
According to netizens who watched the show, Melai should’ve won the competition instead of Maxene. What do you think?
#YFSF disappointing results, no longer based on merits of performances, judges proved themselves unfit to "judge"

I thought #Melai will be the winner. She done it well. Melai is much deserving than anyone else. #YFSFShine

In my opinion, Melai is more deserving to win than Maxene. If you will base it on how they perform Melai deserves the spot #YFSFShine

Truth be told Melai nailed it. Don’t wanna sound disrespectful but Maxine’s performance was so-so. Winning it was just paying respect to FM.

Cannot deny the fact that Maxene won because of her dad, not because of her performance.
#Melai paden ako >.<
