Edray Leona Teodoro Prove Bullies Wrong As She Joins Camp Kawayan On 'The Voice Kids'

A 13-year-old girl is hoping to prove bullies wrong after she managed to turn the chair of rocker Bamboo Mañalac during the Blind Auditions of "The Voice Kids" on Sunday.



Before her performance, Edray Leona Teodoro couldn't contain her tears as she recalled some of her schoolmates calling her names.

Asked what her schoolmates call her, she said: Fat.

But after performing an upbeat rendition of the song "Killing Me Softly," all singer Sarah Geronimo could say was, you've got a beautiful voice.

Lea Salonga, thinks Mañalac will be the perfect coach for Teodoro.

Bamboo, who was impressed with Teodoro's voice, agreed with Salonga's comments, saying he will teach the 13-year-old how to "keep it simple" for the people to hear the "nice voice" she has.

Teodoro, whose dream is to become a professional singer-performer, said she joined "The Voice Kids" to gain confidence and to show her school bullies that there's more to her than meets the eye.
