Eight-year-old Leana was known for her own version of Jessie J's "Price Tag."

After her contract signing, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) got a chance to interview Leana.

Leana was asked who's the person uploading her videos in YouTube.

"'Yong daddy ko po."

When did she start to sing?

"Since when I was three years old."

What's the first song she memorized?

"'If You Ask Me To' by MYMP."

How long is the contract?

Her Mommy Jing answered for her daughter, "Basically one year."

What's the plan of GMA-7 for her?

"A…basically meron siyang Party Pilipinas."

Is she a "biritera" like other singers?

"She's not really a biritera, more on a pop singer."

Baka mamis-interpret ang mga earlier posts ko...I have no intentions na siraan or sisiraan ang batang eto. Nakakaawa nga s'ya eh. At a very young age, kasinungalingan na kaagad ang ipalabas tungkol sa kanya, ng network na kinaaniban n'ya... as if naman maloloko nila ang lahat ng tao...sayang ang pinaghirapan pagbubuild up ng pamilya sa kanya at sisirain lang ng isang walang kwentang istasyon...

How many views ba para masabing youtube sensation ka? Kasi si Leana na interview na ni Kris Aquino sa KristTV nya. May 82k na syang views sa Youtube. May potential. Pero ang alam ko pag nareach ang 1 million views saka sinasabing youtube sensation. Si Julie Anne San Jose ang youtube sensation ngayon. Sobra na sa 1 million ang views sa SuperBass cover nya. Goodluck to Leana. Tiyak na lalo pa itong gagaling.

hindi bitter si lastpepbender...totoong ndi youtube sensation itong batang ito. maganda ang boses, oo...pero wala masyadong nakakakilala dito na nanonood din sa youtube. unlike maria aragon, na pwera pa kay lady g., nakuha na rin sya sa commercial ng HP tablet.
