GMA Network’s newest singing sensation:
Jeremiah Tiangco named The Clash 2019 Grand Champion
After weeks of intense clashes and vocal battles, Pop Heartthrob of Imus Jeremiah Tiangco was hailed The Clash 2019 Grand Champion during The Final Clash held last December 15.
“Sobrang overwhelming po and blessed. Dahil unang una sa lahat, sumali po ako dito hindi lang para sa sarili ko kundi para sa pamilya ko. Nung natawag po ang pangalan ko, hinanap ko po agad ang mama ko. Siya po talaga ang rason kung bakit ako sumali sa The Clash. Nagpapasalamat po ako sa Panginoong Diyos, dahil hindi ko ‘to makakamit kung hindi dahil sa Kanya. Dadalhin ko ‘tong experience na ‘to hanggang sa pagtanda ko,” he shared.
His winning song during The Final Clash was Fantasia Barrino’s “I Believe”, besting 19-year old Thea Astley from Qatar. The Clash Panel – composed of Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha, Asia’s Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista, and Comedy Concert Queen Ai Ai delas Alas – were consistently in awe of Jeremiah’s ace performances throughout the entire competition.
