In an episode of &quot;Pinoy Boyband Superstar&quot; aired Saturday, Wilbert Rosalyn sang the pop classic &quot;Can&#x27;t Take My Eyes Off You&quot; for his audition. &quot;Hinuli mo kami kanina ng parang Pokemon,&quot; Korean pop star Sandara Park, one of the judges of the talent search, told Rosalyn. &quot;Marunong kang kumanta. Marunong kang sumayaw. Guwapo ka. Bagay na bagay ka talaga sa boyband.&quot; Comedian Vice Ganda added: &quot;At first, hindi ako masyadong attracted. Pero nung bumuto sila, there must be something very extraordinary about you na nakita iyong mga babae.&quot;&quot;Eh kung sakaling bubuo kami ng boyband, hindi ko naman ito ibebenta sa sarili ko, ibebenta ko sa kanila so kung ikaw ang gusto nila, eh ibibigay ko sa kanila.&quot;Prior to facing the judges, Rosalyn won over most of the members of the all-female audience, garnering an impressive 98 percent approval rating (contestants only needed 75 percent). He admitted that he joined the competition to prove to his biological father, who abandoned him when he was just two years old, that he had a son that he could proud of. &quot;Para kang isang putahe na ordinaryo pero kapag tinikman, aba&#x27;y masarap pala. Hindi ka lang kumanta, nag-perform ka para sa amin. Na-entertain ako kaya good job!&quot; said singer Yeng Constantino, one of the other judges. Rosalyn joins 19-year-old Joao Constancia and 16-year-old Gabriel Umali as the newest contestants of the talent search to move on to the next round. Hosted by Billy Crawford, &quot;Pinoy Boyband Superstar&quot; airs Saturdays after &quot;Home Sweetie Home&quot; and on Sundays after &quot;Goin&#x27; Bulilit.&quot;
