Beatboxer crowned first ever ‘Versus’ grand champion
TWENTY-five-year old beatboxer Jessie Pascua a.k.a. ‘The Ihaws of Us’ was named the first-ever ultimate grand champion of “It’s Showtime’s” “Versus” talent competition after getting the most votes from the judges in “Versus: The Grandshowpresa,” on Friday (May 28).
Jessie was picked to win by two of the four celebrity judges – Darren Espanto and Angelica Panganiban – after beatboxing an entire party remix, using different body parts to showcase a variety of sounds, and playing a harmonica.
Jessie, who hails from Meycauyan, Bulacan, took home the grand trophy and won P100,000. His co-contenders ‘Christorpe Reeve’ (Jestoni Rubantes), ‘Otso Gwapito’ (Jericho Ayala), and ‘Siyam Milby (Larry Into)’ each took home P20,000.
Iza Calzado and AC Bonifacio also served as judges for the grand finals.
For three months, “Versus” searched for the best Filipino talents and showcased different acts who entertained the madlang people with their impressive stunts and acts.
