During an interview before the blind auditions, the 22-year-old revealed that she is a big fan of Lea Salonga, having played Kim at a local production of "Miss Saigon" in California.
So after failing to turn a single chair for her performance of John Legend's "All of Me," Dela Cruz did not waste the opportunity to ask Salonga if they can do a duet.
The original Kim of "Miss Saigon" gamely sang "I Still Believe" from the musical with Dela Cruz who not only impressed Salonga, but also the other coaches.
Salonga refused to give a critique of Dela Cruz's blind audition but vowed to recommend her to the current "Miss Saigon" production in London.
Still amazed with what happened, Dela Cruz quickly ran to her parents backstage to tell then that her "ultimate dream" just came true.
