Namamayagpag ngayon ang Pinoy singer na si Matty Juniosa sa international talent competition na Britain's Got Talent matapos makakuha ng back-to-back golden buzzers.
Sa audition pa lang kasi ay nakakuha na siya ng golden buzzer mula kay Simon Cowell na nagtulak sa kaniya sa semi-finals. Nitong Abril, nakuha muli ni Matty ang inaasam na golden buzzer mula naman kay Amanda Holden para dumeretso sa finals ng kompetisyon.
Sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda nitong Martes, May 12, nagpahayag naman ng kaniyang paghanga si America's Got Talent season 20 winner Jessica Sanchez sa kababayan.
“I feel like Matty is doing great, I think he's performing so well and I think he's representing the Filipinos so well on Britain's Got Talent,” sabi ni Jessica.
Ayon sa Fil-Am singer, wala na siyang ibang maipapayo pa kay Matty kundi mag-enjoy sa kompetisyon.
“I would say you know, just stay confident, and secure in who you are as an artist and I know you're gonna kill it and take home the crown for us Filipinos again and 'Britain's Got Talent', I would love that. I would love to have another champion,” sabi ni Jessica.

Sa kabila ng ilang Filipino-American singers na nakagawa na ng pangalan sa music industry sa United States, aminado si Jessica na hirap pa rin ang mga Pinoy makapasok dito.
“I feel like it's still a little difficult because it's so saturated, there's so many people trying to get to break into especially in America,” sabi ni Jessica.
Ngunit kahit ganoon ang sitwasyon, sabi ng singer, “But we do have amazing artists who are Filipino-Americans that are like representing our people so that makes me very very proud and it also makes me proud to represent myself.”
Ayon kay Jessica, malayo na rin naman na ang narating ng Pinoy singers sa US. Pagbabahagi niya, noon ay nakaranas pa siya ng diskriminasyon dahil sa kaniyang pagiging Pinoy.
“They would tell me, 'Oh, yeah, no, you can't do this kind of musis or that kind of music, or be on this platform because you're not the race that we're looking for.' But now, I hear producers in TV places talking about how they are looking for Filipino faces,” sabi ni Jessica.
