In 2016 ABS-CBN announced an upcoming reality show that will feature the making of a Pinoy Boyband, based on the television reality singing competition created by Simon Cowell. [1] The show opened auditions in eleven different locations around the Philippines as well as Online and on Social Media. From here hopefuls Ford Valencia, Joao Constancia, Niel Murillo, Russell Reyes and Tristan Ramirez auditioned as solo acts and competed against other contestants coming from different parts of the Philippines as well as overseas. During the Judges Audition they had to charm their way through the audience, and get scored based on their charisma and charm before they could perform in front of the judges. Ford Valencia garnered a score of 83% and performed John Legend's hit "All of Me". Joao Constancia garnered a score of 94% from the audience and performed Adam Sandler's "Grow Old With You". Niel Murillo garnered a score of 96% and performed "Mahal na Mahal" by Sam Concepcion making him an instant fan favorite. His audition clip on YouTube gained the most views out of all the auditionees. Russell Reyes garnered a score of 80% and performed a soulful rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Lately". Tristan Ramirez got a score of 90% from the audience and performed "Ikaw lang ang Aking Mahal" by Brownman Revival. [2] [3] [4] During the Middle Rounds the 40 contestants that passed the audition were cut down into 25. From there they were segregated into five different groups which were tasked to perform different genres of music. Before the deliberation and announcement of the groups, Russell Reyes along with two other contestants who had a hard time speaking the local language were asked to sing a Tagalog song to prove themselves worthy of a spot. Russell Reyes performed his version of "Kung ako Nalang Sana" wherein the judges were impressed. [5] After the performance of the five groups, the Top 12 that would be performing for the live shows were chosen. Joao Constancia was the very first to be called gaining the highest audience votes, followed by Niel Murillo who came in third. The rest was called based on the judge's choices. [6]
During the live shows, the top 12 battled it out by performing in groups, while a contestant gets eliminated every week. During the first week, Ford Valencia and Joao Constancia were part of the same group wherein they came out on top being the first Best Group of the live shows. [7] During the 4th week Niel Murillo, Ford Valencia and Russell Reyes were grouped together. They performed All-4-One's "I Swear", and received a standing ovation from the judges. Judge Vice Ganda stated that all three of them deserve a spot in the final Boyband due to how well they performed. [8] On the final week of the competition, only 7 contestants remained. They performed as a group but were judged as individuals. At the end of the first episode with the combined Judges and Fan Votes Niel Murillo was named the first member of the Band garnering a score of 98.63%. [9] For the second night of performance, votes reverted to zero and the remaining contestants performed individually. At the end of the competition Russell Reyes, Ford Valencia, Tristan Ramirez and Joao Constancia joined Niel Murillo forming BoybandPH. They performed their winning single titled "We Made It" in front of the audience and judges singing about making it despite the hurdles they had in their journey. [10]
Right after winning, the boys attended different guestings wherein they were able to relay their experiences during and after the competition and their plans for the future such as their debut album, singles, gigs and tours. [11] [12]
Immediately after the win, BoybandPH released their winning song "We Made It" followed by the official single "Unli" in 2016 and "Somebody" a cover of Depeche Mode in 2017. All three songs were included in their self-titled debut album BoybandPH which was released on February 4, 2017. They were also featured on Jona Viray's single "Til the End of Time".[ citation needed ]
