Alienette sang “Quand on n’a que l’amour” for her final performance, according to a report on ABS-CBN.

Before the final show, Alienette posted a short message on Facebook, saying: “Almost ready for the finals! I’ll be singing for those who love in the name of love! Lord, help me do this.”

Alienette won the hearts of many when she first appeared on the show singing the French version of “I Dreamed a Dream.”

The Pinoy singer, who has brought the France Has Got Incredible Talent judges to tears in the past, said that she learned French when she was 3 years old so that she could understand the song “La Vie En Rose” by Edith Piaf.

Alienette previously auditioned for Pinoy Idol at the age of 17, where Ogie Alcasid was one of the judges. – Rappler.com
