MANILA, PhilippinesThe Voice of the Philippines will start airing Season 1 on Saturday, June 15, 2013, and lots of viewers are thrilled to watch one of the most awaited reality singing competitions on Philippine TV.

X Factor Philippines have been successful in its initial season with judges Charice, Pilita Corrales, Martin Nievera, and Gary Valenciano.

On The Voice of the Philippines, the judges are also big-known international stars namely: Apl.de.Ap, a member of the international famous band, The Black Eyed Peas, Popular singer Bamboo Manalac, Tony award winning actress-singer Lea Salonga, and Pop singer Sarah Geronimo.

This Saturday, contenders would be based solely on the quality of their voices. There would be no dancing moves or fashion-sense to be judged- yet. The contestant would have to prove that she or he has the ability to nail her or his song, by hitting all the high notes and rendering a pitch-perfect song.

It is unlike the X Factor and American Idol that considered the contestant as a Total Performer. It would be a good show to pit against the X Factor Philippines.

Would The Voice of the Philippines deliver what is expected from it? Viewers surely hope so.
