Paranaque-born Nympha will appear on the show’s season two premiere slated on Monday, March 6, where she performed her version of "Chandelier," making Harvey exclaim "this girl can sing".

The 12-year-old said her first visit in the US last June proved to be an unforgettable one as she personally got to meet Harvey and other kids in the show.

Nympha said it was an experience of a lifetime.

"I was surprised and at the same time honored to be invited to perform in such big show. I was nervous at first but I really won’t want to let my fellow Filipinos down so I really gave my all during the performance,” Nympha said during the press conference held Friday at Privato Hotel in Manila.

Aside from the guest appearance, she got to do a little tour and bond with other kids from around the world.
