Jester Hernandez got 90% from the female studio audience during his audition in "Pinoy Boyband Superstar" aired on Saturday, October 15, 2016. His sad love story perhaps got most of the girls to vote for him, just as judge Vice Ganda noted. Jester sang "Titanium," and while the girls seemed to have loved his performance, judge Aga Muhlach thought it was a wrong song choice, so the auditionee did a few lines of Edwin McCain's "I'll Be."
