On Cris.

Her angelic face framed by long flowing locks belies a voice so captivating that the 22 year-old Pinoy Dream Academy 2 alumna has left the nation craving for more. A graduate of the Philippine School of Interior Design, Cris has always had a passion for the arts and turned to music at a young age. While she has modeled for commercials and plans to hone her dancing and acting skills, singing remains her first love. She’s got the voice, the looks, and that undeniable charm. The dream lives on after PDA2.

On Liezel.

The eyes will reel you in. The voice will keep you hooked. This 24-year-old Puerto Galera native is a sultry siren in the making. While inside the Academy, Zhel struck the publick as a shy and soft-spoken provincial lass who’s never had a boyfriend. But now she’s ready to show the world that there’s more to her: “I’m open to new things and ready to branch out.” With an album in the works, trust this dusky, petite charmer to sing her way into your hearts.
