The incredibly talented contestants of "The Pop Stage" are not letting the lockdown hinder them from expressing their creativity and making the most of their own resources. Because of this, all 13 semifinalists, chosen by the show’s creator and host Matteo Guidicelli, together with judges Jed Madela and Ritz Beltran, with the support of Popeyes Philippines in partnership with Viva Artists Agency, have proven themselves worthy of their spots in the competition.
Many of the semifinalists presented original compositions that showed their artistic creativity including singers Luigi D'Avola, Sarah Mae Guno, Giancarlo Calibuso, and Dia Mate. Spoken word poet Martin Naling, dancer El-John Macalatan, beatboxer Roxor Beat, and four-piece indie rock band Silent Moon also showed their own works during the show’s elimination rounds.
