Musical group Ezra Band became a trending topic in Twitter Saturday night and it was no surprise that the band from Davao City topped the viewers' choice Sunday night to make it to the grand finals of the country's biggest nationwide talent-reality search "Pilipinas Got Talent."

With the entry of Ezra Band to the grand finals, “Pilipinas Got Talent” has found its first female grand finalist with the band’s vocalist Kaye. The band’s rendition of “Right Here Waiting” Saturday night earned the loudest cheers from the studio audience, who were also impressed with Nor’s talent in playing the piano despite having physical disability.

Balladeer Sherwin Baguion, who placed third (17.99%) in the text votes, but was chosen by the judges over opera singer Geraldine “Fame” Flores (25.05% votes) to join the band in the grand finals.

It was PGT judge Kris Aquino who broke the tie between Freddie “FMG” Garcia and Ai-Ai delas Alas. In giving her decision, Aquino said it is important for contestants to feel and understand the songs they sing.

“During the gap, I heard Billy and Luis still singing Sherwin’s song so it means his performance really has a recall to the audience,” said Aquino.

The two new grand finalists will compete with other grand finalists like Internet singing sensation Jovit Baldivino, ventriloquist Ruther Urquia, magician Allan “Alakim” De Paz, singer Markki Stroem, guitarist Keith Delleva, and the breakdancing Velasco Brothers.
