Shaniah Rollo, a 13-year-old Filipina based in Dublin got a standing ovation from all four judges of "Ireland's Got Talent," earning her a ticket into the next round of the talent search. Shaniah Rollo said her family had just moved to Ireland from the Philippines. They, however, are not complete, as her siblings remain in their home country.
Asked by judge Denise Van Outen what she intends to do with the €50,000 grand prize (roughly P3.26 million), should she win the competition.
Shaniah said: "I want to use the money for my brothers and sisters to go here, so we can be a whole family, because I really miss them so much."
"There's a lot riding on this for you," Van Outen said, prompting the young contestant to start her audition.
The judges appeared to be instantly impressed with Shaniah's first notes, as they exchanged looks, and had their mouths wide open at one point. Commenting on Shaniah's performance, Van Outen said: "You've got the most amazing voice. You sang that from your heart, and you sang that for your siblings. They will be so proud of you."
Louish Walsh added: "It was effortless, it was pitch perfect, and you're only 13!"
"For your age, you have such amazing control of your vocals," Michelle Visage said, before asking Rollo if she's ever had any formal training. When the Filipina answered in the negative, Visage exclaimed, "That is remarkable!"
Shaniah was among the acts shown in the pilot episode of "Ireland's Got Talent" early this month.
