Nanalo ang first runner up sa second season ng Pinoy Pop Superstar na si Aicelle Santos sa Astana Song Festival sa Kazakhstan!
Inuwi ni Aicelle ang isa sa dalawang major awards – ang Best Performance of Own Country Song na sinulat ng song writer na si Vehnee Saturno.
Aicelle competed with singers from 14 countries. “This award, this competition has opened doors, the experience itself, para po mag-grow as an artist. Kung baga, hindi ka lang nakatungtong sa stage sa Pilipinas lang, kung hindi sa ibang bansa, ipinakita mo, ‘Ito po kami, Pilipinas, kaya naming makipag-compete,’” she shares.
