Whether it’s OPM icons or legendary foreign artists, these are performances we never want to miss.</p><p>But what happens when the very icon our ka-Familiars transform into is right in front of them, watching live? These five crossovers between the icons and “YFSF” celebrity performers brought extra fun to the stage as they interacted, bantered, and even sang duets---like a carbon copy of themselves.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Jason Dy with Erik Santos</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="951" height="535" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cGcuPclU4JY" title="Jason Dy brings Erik Santos to life with an amazing transformation | Week 1 | YFSF 2025" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Jason transformed into one of his closest friends, the Prince of Pop Erik Santos, and sang his hit “Pagbigyang Muli.” Later on, Erik himself surprised Jason by joining him onstage. “Okay na sana, okay na lahat. Pero nung sinabi niyang idol niya ako nung bata pa lang siya, parang medyo nakakatanda ‘yun,” Erik immediately said, sending Jason into laughter. Later, both Jason and Erik were asked by host Jhong Hilario to converse together as Erik, and the idea alone already made the judges chuckle, especially Judge Gary Valenciano. When Erik noticed them, he immediately approached and said, “Tawang-tawa ang judges natin.”</p><p>Erik even noticed that the prosthetics placed on Jason to resemble his nose looked larger than his own. “Para ka lang nananalamin,” Jason said, and when he laughed just like Erik does, it sparked another round of laughter---this time from Erik himself. They also sang a duet of “Pagbigyang Muli” as Erik Santos. When Jason began singing, the resemblance to Erik’s vocals was uncanny, as he copied him perfectly. To cap off his visit, Erik gave a heartwarming message to Jason, assuring him that he was not at all offended by the impersonation. </p><p>“Sobra akong nag-enjoy,” he shared, adding that he usually does not watch his own performances and had initially felt nervous about how Jason would portray him. However, Jason gave him a fresh perspective of himself. Erik also expressed his support for Jason throughout his “YFSF” journey. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Alexa Ilacad with Sharon Cuneta </strong></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="951" height="535" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1-LOH0iJ0Nc" title="Alexa Ilacad wins hearts with her mega transformation as Sharon Cuneta | Week 14 | YFSF 2025" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>As soon as Alexa stepped out of the ‘iconator’ as Sharon Cuneta, the Megastar herself was all smiles---especially when Alexa sang her hit “Mr. DJ,” complete with Sharon’s signature teenage look.
