Sing for Coffee | Sing Your Way to London

I've always wanted to travel abroad, on top of my list is London, England. It's still my dream destination. I'm happy that someone will be flying to London with her mom after winning in a British themed singing contest hosted by Costa Coffee. Jyl Orila was awarded the grand winner for the ''Sing Your Way to London" promo. Few months from now, she will be sightseeing in London, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, Abbey Road, Notting Hill, and other landmarks.

The competition was originally inspired from vlogger Vince Vandorpe, after he impressed Costa Coffee barista while singing a British classic at the counter, winning a free cup of coffee in the process. Soon after, Costa Coffee launched a search calling for aspirants to send in a video of them singing a British song.

From hundreds of contestants, Costa Coffee chose the Top 5 contestants who battled at the Costa Coffee Robinsons Galleria branch yesterday.

The five finalists are:

1. Pia Alfonso
2. Maqui Castelo
3. lnna Valera
4. Maki Santos,
5. Jyl Orila.

They were all great. I wish I could sing and perhaps joined this contest, lol. We also had a wonderful time watching them perform.
