[EMBARGO] 'The Clash': Venus Pellobello vows to keep continue singing

Venus Pellobello is keeping her head held high after 'The Clash.' While the latest singer to be eliminated, Venus still has big hopes for her future. In an interview with GMA News Online, Venus vowed, 'Patuloy pa rin po 'kong kakanta.' 'Kung hindi man ako panalo dito, siguro may iba pang mga competition o may iba pang platform para maipakita ko pa rin ang aking talent sa pagkanta,' the singer from Batangas said. Venus added that she will also continue her business as an online live seller after 'The Clash.' Looking back on her journey, Venus said that her biggest challenge was her hearing disability in her left ear, and how she can arrange and work on the songs. 'Meron po akong sinusuot na hearing aid so natuto talaga 'ko na marinig clearly 'yung minus one, 'yung everything sa boses ko,' she said. In an earlier interview, Venus compared her "The Clash" experience with Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing." Meanwhile, her biggest achievement is making it to be a New Clasher after thousands of singers auditioned. 'This is also one of my prayers din kay Lord,' Venus said. 'Nasa 30s na 'ko so may mga pagkakaton na na-lo-lost tayo sa buhay, parang nagkakaroon tayo ng life crisis, parang tinatanong mo kung anong purpose mo.' She added, 'Achievement ko siya na nabigyan ako ng pagkakataon na maipakita ang talento ko dito. Kasi meron ding times po na gusto ko na tumigil sa pagkanta, kasi nga 'yung tenga ko.' On Facebook following her exit, Venus said her heart was full. "Being part of the Top 8 is already a dream come true. Hindi ko akalaing makakarating ako dito, bitbit ang pangarap, kaba, at dasal. Thank you po, Lord, for the strength, the voice, and the opportunity. Thank you sa family ko, friends, and every single person who believed in me, even during the times I doubted myself. Salamat sa bawat palakpak, mensahe, yakap, at panalangin. Lahat po yun, naging lakas ko sa bawat laban ko," Venus wrote. "This may be the end of my Clash journey, but it's not the end of my journey as a singer. Maraming maraming salamat po. From the bottom of my heart," she added. Should she have won, Venus said she wanted to help and bond with her family, to have an album and concert, and to expand her live selling business. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
