Gab Valenciano in 'America's Got Talent'

Watch out! The YouTube star and all-around performer is going for gold in the US talent competition

Gabriel Valenciano is surely following in his father's footsteps.

The young performer has been asked to continue on the show for this year's season of America's Got Talent.

When he heard about the auditions for the show, he queued up like everyone else and went through the arduous audition process, which meant cattle calls and long lines. But with his undeniable talent and energy, he persevered.

Watch the trailer for the show below and support our very own when the show airs!


The youngest son of Gary Valenciano and Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano, Gab has achieved global online hits for his series of "Super Selfie" videos on YouTube. He initially posted only on Instragam, which allows posting video clips up to 15 seconds. With the coaxing of Gab's friend, YouTube partner Fil-Am singer/composer AJ Rafael, he opened up his own YouTube Channel just a few months ago.

When I asked Gab to describe why he names his videos "Super Selfie," he says "I shoot, edit, make the music and star in it!"

He certainly is the definition of a new media artist because he is able to utilize technology and create his own platform to showcase his talents. And the best part about his videos is that he doesn't take himself too seriously in any of them. His hilarious dance moves and upbeat energy make all his super selfies fun, particularly with his deadpan expression.

    1. Yes! just like this comment. It saddens me when a talent like Gab is appreciated more overseas than on his own country. It has always been like this, tapos pag nagsucceed we'll get the credit then chant "im so proud to be pinoy" "pinoy pride". Im guilty of this too but im sick of it. Ako mismo nahihiya sa mga inaasal natin.

    2. marami rin kcng mahilig manood ng basura eh!

      Delete
    5. Lol 11:29 yung comment mo yung OA! Why do you have to mention the Pulitzer prize?! This is an Entertainment blog for petes sakes!!! & We even glorified that lady who won in Israel ba yun? & That show doesnt even viewed here!! At least yang US show we'll able to see. Hay haters

    1. True. Hindi na nga nakakagulat na ganun ang reaction ng iba dito. Imbes na maging masaya sa kapwa, gusto pang manghila pababa. Nakakainis nga bakit ganun mostly ugali ng Pinoy. Kaya di na ako umaasa na aayos pa ang bansa.

  23. I wish him well and it's good to see him making something of himself. However, just because we both have Filipino blood does not mean I have to automatically become a "fan" of his and support his every endeavour, especially if it's not to my taste. I think with my brain, not with my ethnicity, thank you very much.
