The Voice Kids first season champion Lyca Gairanod recently became a trending topic on social media after her performance of Camila Cabello’s chart-topping hit “Havana” on ABS-CBN’s morning show “Umagang Kay Ganda”.
While her singing voice sounded great, many viewers weren’t able to understand the lyrics of the song since she sounded gibberish all throughout the song.
Ever since she started competing in the first season of “The Voice Kids”, Gairanod has mostly sang Filipino songs as she admitted of having difficulty in memorizing and mastering English songs. But being true to herself and coming from humble beginnings skyrocketed her popularity in the show.
After her performance aired on Philippine television, there were some netizens who decided to poke fun on it.
Which song should be played at the FIFA World Cup finals 2018?

0% J Balvin — Migente
100% Lyca Gairanod — Havana (Silvana)

Although, she received negative comments, many netizens and fans also defended the young singer.
I don’t get it why people are making fun of Lyca Gairanod’s Havana performance. I mean do you guys even know that she grew up picking garbage and lived near a dumpsite?
Ya guys should be ashamed, the kid was makin an effort to sing in a language she wasn’t comfortable with.

Lyca Gairanod is a victim of this society, people have been making fun of her because of her mispronounciation of words in "Havana". Shame on you people, look at yourselves first before you judge other people. Are you a god to judge her?
