By Dianara Alegre

Hargie Ganza earned the first spot at the ultimate Centerstage and was hailed as the first defending champion. She stunned the judges through her performance of Aegis's classic hit “Luha” at the pilot episode of the newest talent singing competition for kids.

Judges Pops Fernandez, Mel Villena and Aicelle Santos were in awe of Hargie's powerful vocals and they can't help but admire the talented kid.

“Akala ko ba children's contest 'to, grabe,” the Concert Queen said.

“Ang galing niya. Sobrang powerful ng vocals niya,” Aicelle exclaimed. “Ang galing, at your that age, tapos ganyan ang reach nung voice."

Meanwhile, renowned musical director Mel related that Hargie's low notes are exceptional.

“Pati 'yung low notes. Kasi hindi lang 'yung high 'yung importante e. Lalo na sa mga singing contest, minsan napapabayaan 'yung lower notes sa pagkanta,” Mel commented.

"Sa kaso mo (Hargie), siyempre kaya mong abutin 'yung mga birit level na 'yon, pero ang importante sa tingin ko yung low mo, which is sa 'kin, importante rin 'yon,” he added.

Hosted by Asia's Multimedia star Alden Richards and Kapuso comedian Betong Sumaya, catch Centerstage every Sunday, at 7:40pm, on GMA Telebabad.
