Sam wins Week 5 of 'Your Face' as Dong Abay
MANILA -- Singer Sam Concepcion won the fifth week of ''Your Face Sounds Familiar'' for his impersonation of Filipino rocker Dong Abay.
An intense Concepcion, who even took off his t-shirt, performed the hit song "Banal na Aso, Santong Kabayo," earning raves from the jurors and studio audiences.
"Wala akong maisulat dito sa notes ko kasi sobrang intense ang performance mo. Parang 'yun na 'yun. Kung anong dapat gawin, kung anong dapat expression lalong lalo na sa boses, it was not you, Sam. You delivered it, and you delivered it with such class and success. Wala eh, kulang na lang ang gagawin ko sa 'yo, bow," Gary Valenciano told Concepcion.
Jed Madela, for his part, praised Concepcion for always absorbing the personality of the icon he is impersonating.
"Ang napansin ko talaga, whenever you perform, talagang ina-absorb mo lahat, tapos 'yung 'pag pine-perform mo na siya, very natural, saka lumalabas lang siya, hindi siya mukhang aral. Parang ikaw na ikaw 'yun eh, parang mismong ikaw 'yung icon na ginagawa mo. Great job, Sam," he added.
"Sam, tonight, I understand, why they call you certain things. Artist to artist, I give you my respect, sincerely from the bottom of my heart. There are many talented people, not everyone is of the rare kind. You are," Sharon Cuneta told Concepcion.
Concepcion's performance earned him a total of 27 points, enough to bring home the P100,000 cash price. He will be donating half of his prize to World Vision.
This is Concepcion's second win on the show. He also won during the second week for his Jason Derulo impersonation.
