"You brought the house down. Alam mo, kailangan mo akong piliin, kasi kapag hindi mo ako pinili, para akong traffic sa EDSA, I cannot move on without you," apl.de.ap. told Diaz. 

"May mga good, tapos may mga very good, tapos may mga great. You're in the great section. You have everything, all the technical tools, emotionally, you're there. May katapusan ba 'yung galing nitong babaeng ito? Ang galing–galing mo talaga. Grabe ang naging impluwensiya ng kapatid mo sa 'yo," Lea Salonga said.

"Tanya, ikaw ang isa sa mga hinahanap ko. Sobrang amazing, 'yung ang linis kumanta, pero grabe kung mag-growl. Paano niyo 'yun... mga lalamunan niyo. Tanya, kailangan na kailangan kita sa team ko. We’ll do anything for you," Sarah Geronimo said.
