ASIA’S Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid called Cebuana and Kapamilya singer Morisette Amon “the new queen.”
In a series of Instagram posts, Regine praised the 21-year-old who staged her first solo concert called “Morisette is Made” at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last Feb. 20.
“Congratulations my sweetheart you are simply amazing!!!!!! #hailtothenewqueen @itsmorisette,” Regine said as she shared a video during the concert.
In another Instagram post, she shared a photo of Amon onstage and said, “The Philippines has produced another star!!!! @itsmorisette.”
The two singers performed “Akin Ka Na Lang” (an original song written by Francis Louis “Kiko” Salazar) and Martin Nievera’s “You Are My Song.”
After the performance, the Songbird told Amon, “You are incredible. Grabe kasi parang natutuwa ako na you just waited. You waited for your turn.
And now this is your turn. I just wanna say, I think we have produced another super star. You are one of the best, if not the best.”
Amon joined the first season of “The Voice of the Philippines” in 2013, where she was part of Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo’s team.
