WATCH: Jolina rocks as Axl Rose

MANILA -- Kapamilya actress Jolina Magdangal rocked the stage as she impersonated her ultimate crush, Guns N' Roses lead vocalist Axl Rose, on Sunday's episode of "Your Face Sounds Familiar."

Magdangal performed the group's hit song "Sweet Child O' Mine."

The judges praised Magdangal for her performance, with some noting that she sounded like a female version of the rocker.

"Paglabas mo pa lang, 'yung galaw mo, sobrang Axl Rose na Axl Rose eh," Jed Madela said.

"I must say, Jolina, that you really crushed this performance with what you did," Gary Valenciano added.

"I did not see you. I saw Axl. I had to stand up because it was so... that was for me, that was so Axl," Sharon Cuneta told Magdangal.

Magdangal will be facing another challenge for next week, as she will be impersonating boxing champ Manny Pacquiao.

Jolina recovering well after giving birth, husband says

MANILA – Rivermaya member Mark Escueta is a picture of a proud father after he and former Kapamilya star Jolina Magdangal welcomed their first child on Tuesday.

In an interview with DZMM on Wednesday, Escueta shared that they could not wait to spend their time with their son, Pele Inigo.

“Masayang masaya naman. Si Jolina okay na okay na rin siya. Kakatapos lang niya magpa-breastfeed. Medyo pinapagpahinga lang siya ng mabuti kasi kapag CS pala bawal masyadong magsalita,” he said.

Escueta said he is glad Magdangal had a successful operation considering she had a sensitive pregnancy during her first trimester.

Escueta said the baby was not supposed to be delivered until Thursday but the Magdangal’s doctor advised an early delivery due to the contractions the singer was having.

“Ang talagang original plan is tomorrow sana. Dapat today ang ultrasound and check-up namin kaya lang nagkaroon na siya ng contractions so napa-advance ng one day 'yung ultrasound and nakita dun na konti na 'yung amniotic fluid. Sabi nung OB, pwede na daw siyang opearahan kahapon. Nandito kami sa Asian na 8:30 a.m. tapos diretso na ng 2 p.m.,” he said.

Nonetheless, he and Magdangal are both excited to become parents a little over two years since they got married.

The baby weighed 6.9 pounds at birth.
