Kai not only commanded attention for her voice but also her strong visuals. </p><p>Present in the crowd to support her were Hajie Alejandro and Leni Alejandro, the members of 1621, Gello Marquez, and her fellow <em>PBB: Gen 11 </em>housemates Dylan Yturralde, Rain Celmar, JP Cabrera, Marc Nanninga Jr., and Jan Silva.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751174293963kai montinola kai s the limit 6.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751174311008kai montinola kai s the limit 7.jpg" style="width:696px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><br/></div><p>&quot;KAI&#x27;s the Limit&quot; pre-show featured performances by <strong>Maven</strong> (who sang &quot;Sa Susunod Na Lang&quot; - Skusta Clee cover and &quot;Dito Ka Muna&quot;) and <strong>Trish Denise </strong>(who entertained the crowd with &quot;Mas Mabuti Pa&quot; and &quot;Seryoso&quot;).</p><p>Then it was time for Kai to shine. The young stunner performed a cover of &quot;<strong>Born This Way</strong>,&quot; later sharing that she fought for it to be the opening song because she wanted it to set the tone for the launch’s energy. Her album, <em>Kaileidoscope</em>, features seven tracks, and they were thoughtfully spread out throughout the program. <em></em></p><p>She then proceeded to sing &quot;<strong>Hay Naku!</strong>,&quot; which features Bisaya lyrics, and &quot;<strong>No Conversation</strong>.&quot;</p><p>Star Magic artist <strong>Esang</strong> then came up onstage for an intermission number, delighting the crowd with a cover of &quot;<strong>Part Of Your World</strong>.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751172972173kai montinola kai s the limit 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751173633222kai montinola kai s the limit 2.jpg" style="width:699px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751173658902kai montinola kai s the limit 3.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Kai re-emerged in a fiery red ensemble, kicking off that set with her song &quot;<strong>Self Love Era</strong>.&quot; Joining her onstage after her solo number was <strong>Kyle Echarri</strong>, and the two sang &quot;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLdt8ATpwr7/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Start of Something New</strong></a>.&quot;</p><p>The star performer of the night then surprised everyone by singing &quot;<strong>Bituin Walang Ningning</strong>&quot;—according to Kai, it&#x27;s her dream cover; she was worried it might feel &#x27;too old&#x27; for the crowd, but it’s a meaningful choice because she has always wanted to sing this live. This was followed by another cover, this time &quot;<strong>On My Own</strong>,&quot; a Broadway classic she has also dreamt of performing for an audience. </p><p>Kai performed for a hyped-up crowd, but the energy became even more intense when <strong>Jarren Garcia </strong>made his way to the stage to sing with her.
