This was echoed by guest juror Erik Santos, who conveyed his appreciation for trying to sing like Nick and finishing it well and impressively.“Megastar” Sharon Cuneta, meanwhile, expressed her admiration for Akira for being able to endure the long and exhausting process of putting on prosthetics, as well as really taking the effort to get the placement of another singer that is out of his vocal range.
