Alexa Ilacad took on a &#x27;mega&#x27; iconic task in Round 7 of “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/your-face-sounds-familiar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Your Face Sounds Familiar</a>” (January 3 episode), transforming into no less than Sharon Cuneta and singing “Mr. DJ” in front of the Megastar herself!Despite her voice slightly raspy due to feeling under the weather, Alexa powered through by taking in all the tips from mentors Klarisse De Guzman and Nyoy Volante. They specifically guided her to channel Sharon’s signature pleasant smile toward the audience and to embody  Sharon&#x27;s sound from her &#x27;young star&#x27; era since she was just 12 when she recorded &quot;Mr. DJ.&quot; Sharon appreciated the tribute and even joined Alexa for a sweet duet on stage. “Mr. DJ,” written by Rey Valera, became her first big hit and remains iconic to this day. From that 12-year-old sweetheart to the now 60-year-old Megastar, her glow has never faded.To celebrate her 60th birthday (which is on January 6), Sharon received a sweet surprise from her “Your Face Sounds Familiar” family. Guest judge Erik Santos gave a heartfelt message, calling her the biggest star this country has ever produced. Gary Valenciano, whom Sharon fondly calls her “kuya,” turned sentimental as he reminded her of just how deeply she’s loved. Gary also recalled how he used to wait for her outside her school just to catch a glimpse of the young Sharon he looked up to so much.Do not miss an episode of “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/your-face-sounds-familiar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Your Face Sounds Familiar</a>,” weeknights, 7:15PM on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, ALLTV, and<a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> iWant.</a>
