The TNT Boys’ performances on The World’s Best (TWB) talent show on CBS from February to March earned global attention as the young singing trio competed – gaining celebrity fans, judges praises, and more invitations for interviews and concerts than they could handle.

Francis Concepcion, Mackie Empuerto, and Kiefer Sanchez hit the high notes song after song, receiving praises from host James Corden, Hollywood judges Drew Barrymore, RuPaul, and Faith Hill, even a surprise fan in Ariana Grande as the young singers made their way to the Final Battle Rounds.

American Judge Drew Barrymore said of the TNT Boys’ final performance, “There is no flaw in one note. When you have a show called ‘World’s Best’ that’s a very high bar to set, and you guys just reach it every time, if not surpass it.”

TWB host James Corden told the Filipino trio, “Every single person that watched your performance in this show – you have moved them and changed them. And this is just a start of an incredible journey.”

The Vocal Dynamo Trio from the Philippines eventually bowed out of the Hollywood talent competition on March 6 (March 7 Manila Time), but it appears the boys have more in store for fans, beyond their TWB journey.

Good News Pilipinas recalls The TNT Boys’ journey on the Hollywood show and identifies where they may be headed next.
