Kim Ordoño granted an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, on behalf  of his bandmates Joshua Bulot and Bryan del Rosario. The vocal trio is set to perform at the show’s ‘6-chair challenge’ to impress their mentor Simon Cowell and win a seat that will qualify them to the next round at the judges’ house. 


"Honestly, we are very nervous. 6CC is the hardest part of the competition. Anything can happen. It's our turn to fight for our spot with fellow "group competitors."  We are also feeling the pressure after we saw what happened to Alisah during her 6-chair challenge last Sunday. Fellow Filipinos are also expecting us to make it like Alisah Bonaobra,” Kim claimed.
 
Despite the stiff competition heading their way, the three are stoked for the big opportunity to perform for and work with their idol.
 
Kim said, "Having Simon as the Group Mentor this season is a dream come true. We were really hoping that he handles the group category and we were surprised that it happened. During the judges reveal, we were able to hug him tightly because of excitement. Though Simon is very hard to please, we hope that he'll appreciate our talent."
