The shy Taguig native performed Tina Turner's "Simply The Best" during the "Judges' Houses"round, which was impressive enough to secure her a spot in the Top 4 of the Over 25's category. One of the contestants said her performance was "too good."

Fostanes will be advancing to the next of the competition, the live shows, if she will make it to the Top 12 next week. During this round, the viewers of the show will be the ones who will decide who will stay in the competition through voting.

There are about 100,000 Filipino workers in Israel, comprising 1/3 of the total population of foreign workers in the Western Asian nation. Fostanes is hoping that her countrymen will help her stay longer in the competition or if possible help her win the whole thing.
