PRESS STATEMENT FROM ABS-CBN:
"The Star Power [contestants were] filled with relief last Sunday as the ultimate Megastar Sharon Cuneta revealed that night was a non-elimination showdown. This Sunday, December 26, however, the remaining girls must give their best performances as another contender is set to bid goodbye.
"The pressure is greater as the Star Power finalists must enthrall their favorite Kapamilya leading men--Derek Ramsay, Zanjoe Marudo, Gerald Anderson, Jericho Rosales, Sam Milby and John Lloyd Cruz--with their performances. Plus, Divine Diva Zsa Zsa Padilla and of course, Mega, teach the girls how to "evoke emotions" through singing.
"The hot leading men must choose the song that have warmed their hearts, to be sung by the Star Power girls.
"Siyempre kabado na naman kaming mga girls. Before we only sing for ourselves, now we have to serenade television's most handsome leading men. Nakakakilig diba? But we have to give our best shot," said Cebuana Akiko.
"Krissel, on the other hand feels very honored being mentored by the Divine Diva. She said that like Mega, Zsa Zsa also treats them like daughters in show business. "Nakaka-touch po talaga si Ms. Zsazsa. Tinandaan ko po talaga yung unang advice niya sa amin dati, at ngayon na mine-mentor niya kami, hindi ko po kakalimutan yung mga itinuturo niya."
"Akiko Solon (Cebu), Ninay Lescano (Lipa City), Kaye Racho (Cebu), K-La Rivera (Canada), Angeline Quinto (City of Manila), Krissel Valdez (Davao) and Monica Sacay (Leyte), who among them will be hailed as Sharon's Next Female Pop Superstar?
"Witness the making of a true star! Catch Star Power, Sharon's Search for the Next Female Pop Superstar, this Sunday, after Rated K on ABS-CBN."
