Early life and career

2009–present

[edit]

In 2009, Fernandez performed in the US leg of her The Divas 4 Divas Tour together with Regine Velasquez, Kuh Ledesma and Zsa Zsa Padilla.[2][3] She released a new album under MCA Universal entitled Hope, which is a collection of cover versions including a new version of her 1983 song "Little Star".[4]

In 2019, she is one of the 50 panelists around the world to participate in a new American reality talent show The World's Best by CBS. While she is the first Filipino to be featured as a judge in an American reality talent show, she was not the first judge from the Philippines. Bryan Boy, who is a Filipino, was a judge for ANTM USA. In 2020, Fernandez became the guest judge in The Clash Season 3 while Misalucha did not return for health reasons.[5]
