Katchry Jewel Golbin, a blind Filipino singer, has made it to the grand finals of a French talent show “La France a un Incroyable Talent” after impressing the judges with her version of “Le Moulins de mon Coeur,” composed by Michel Jean Legrand.
The emotion of Goblin while singing a famous song written by a French Academy Award-winning composer made one of the judges, Hélène Ségara, cry.
The three male judges–Eric Antoine, Gilbert Rozon and Kamel Ouali–lauded her for her striking vocals and passionate presence onstage.
Joining the Filipina contestant in the season’s finale are French magician duo Tony and Jordan, and dancer Mario Espanol.
Golbin, who became an internet star after she was filmed belting out Mariah Carey’s “I’ll Be There” at a mall, also sang “La Vie en Rose” by Edith Piaf during one of the auditions, Inquirer wrote.
Last November, Katchry Jewel Golbin (who also uses the name Alienette Coldfire) impressed the French judges with her emotional audition singing the French version of “I Dreamed A Dream” from the musical “Les Miserables.”
Golbin is battling it out in the show’s finals on Dec. 13.
