This year has been massive for our Filipino artists, with SB19 , BINI , G22 , and BGYO racking up impressive wins and global recognition. From topping charts to bagging international awards, they’ve put P-pop on the global map like never before. But hey, they’re not done yet! The BreakTudo Awards 2024 could add even more hardware to their shelves if we all rally behind them.

And let’s face it, people love comparing them to the OGs from ABS-CBN . Spoiler: the new lineup isn’t exactly getting standing ovations from the critics. ABS-CBN’s Dream Team: Impossible to Top? Let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. Back in the ABS-CBN days , the judges’ panel was like the Avengers of Filipino music. You had Sarah Geronimo (Popstar Royalty, duh), Lea Salonga (a Tony Award-winning QUEEN), Bamboo (because what’s a singing show without a rockstar?), and Apl.de.ap from the Black Eyed Peas. Throw in legends like Sharon Cuneta , Martin Nievera , and KZ Tandingan , and it felt like every single one of them could fill an arena just by showing up.
