Star Power Final 5: Krissel Valdez, The Soulful Diva of Davao


For local band singer Krissel, she never thought that she’ll ever make it to a nationwide talent search like Star Power. What adds to the pressure she constantly feels from the beginning is the fact that Star Power isn’t the same-old-story talent reality competition, it’s “Sharon’s Search for The Next Female Pop Superstar.”

Krissel, however, fervently prays to overcome all anxieties and fears that she might feel while at the leg of the competition. “Pray lang po ako ng pray. Yun po talaga weapon ko and armor ko para sa pressure. I trust God, trust my talents and oftentimes iniisip ko yung pamilya ko kasi without them, hindi ko din naman po to magagawa. So, just think of all your inspirations para po mawala yung pressure sa’yo,” Krissel shared.

When asked how she is preparing for the big night, the Davao’s pride said: “Disiplina at super practice, lalo na po ngayon na hindi po kami yung pumipili ng mga songs namin. So, whether we like it or not, we have to love the song, practice discipline—wag lang masyado kumain ng sweets at never na akong umiinom ng malamig na tubig. Listening po is also important. I also take vitamins.

It can be recalled that at the start of the competition Krissel confessed her world almost fell apart when she discovered that her beloved grandfather, whom she considered her father, has cancer. Krissel and her family were left by her biological father when she was still a child. But despite having a broken family, she was still able to hone her exemplary singing skills. Krissel is very grateful to her single mom who bravely raised her.
