Last Saturday, May 12, was declared as "Mr. Heartsong Day." ABS-CBN's Studio 10 was swarmed by avid fans of Joshua, Ronald and Trina but in the end, only one name emerged as the first ever Little Big Superstar...Ronald Jaimeer!
Little Big Superstar started with ten finalists, but only three proved themselves worthy to perform on the Grand Finals: "D' Beat Boy" Joshua Cadelina, "Mr. Heartsong" Ronald Jaimeer and "Golden Voice" Trina Alcantara.
"The Super Battle: Final Step to Stardom" was a feast for the eyes when the Little Big Stars (winners of LBS Seasons 1 and 2) performed a Disney-themed number. The Super 3 took center stage as they sang two rounds of fast and slow songs. But the real star was Ronald after sweeping the votes of star judges Angelika dela Cruz, Joyce Bernal, Louie Ocampo, director Wenn Deramas and Randy Santiago; musician/back-up singer and record Clickers and, of course, the text-voters.
Before the Slow Song challenge commenced, the next Lucky Me star was announced, with Joshua taking home the P100,000 special cash prize as well as a contract for the next commercial of the said noodle brand. Another special portion included that afternoon was a performance by the contestants for their moms in time for Mother's Day, touching both kids and moms alike!
Mr. Heartsong got emotional when his name was called as the winner of Little Big Superstar. But the real winner was his mother as she hugged his son with pride. Like her son, she could not hold back her tears of joy for the young crooner.
Ronald, the little boy who patiently commutes to and from Agoncillo, Batangas, first tried to penetrate the music industry by joining Little Big Star. After rocking the stage with his rendition of the ‘80s hit "Gold" and making everyone cry with his rendition of "The Promise"by Martin Nievera, everyone was convinced that he is indeed worthy to be called the Little Big Superstar.
"Mr. Heartsong" became the Little Big Superstar grand champion, after garnering a score of 91.4%. His competitor Joshua received a score of 90% while Trina followed closely with her score of 89.1%.
Ronald isn't just an 11-year-old millionaire, he is also a proud house and lot owner as well as the first ever Little Big Superstar.
