Former teen star Antoinette Taus is part of Kinfolk 9, a professional vocal group from Los Angeles that’s been named one of the top 14 contenders in the The Sing-Off. The group’s other members are: Mary Akpa, David Fertello, Kari Francis, Jon Hall (one of the Warblers on Glee), Moises Navarro, Jenilee Reyes, Angelique Sheppard, and Daniel Weidlein.
Taus: “Akala ko madali. Grabe, [this is] one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, singing-wise. Kasi if you’re singing a cappella, it has to be extremely perfect. One little mistake, one pitchy part, ruins everything because there’s no music,” said Taus. “It’s almost like I’m not just doing it for me, I’m also doing it for Filipinos everywhere. It’s really important to me that people know that I’m a Filipino.”
Let me just say… I.LOVE.ANTOINETTE TAUS! Ever since I was a kid. I grew up watching her on TGIS and AnnaKarenNina. She was my Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan (the good years) back in the days - I’m just 18 btw (ok not that old as you thought) ;) LOL. So great to see her again! Now on a even bigger limelight. Good for her! Let’s support her! Woohoo! Go Filipinos! :D
