4th Impact has made a mark in the entertainment scene since their X Factor UK first audition aired on August 29 this year. Their official video of Jessie J's hit Bang Bang on YouTube has reached over 33 million views as of this writing. It is ranked #1 among all the X Factor UK videos of the present Season 12. Although the girl group have only reached the Top 5 of the singing competition, they have been in the UK entertainment buzz. Watch their official audition video below.

4th Impact is composed of four sisters from the Philippines. They are Almira, Irene, Mylene, and Celina. They were earlier known on X Factor UK as 4th Power, but had to change their name due to
copyright reasons. The Filipino girl band had also used other names in the past. They used MICA (the initials of their first names) in a Korean singing contest in 2014. They were also known as the Cercado Sisters and Gollayan Sisters in other previous competitions. No matter what name they use, their talent is undeniably amazing.

In an interview in 2013, Almira revealed that she had competed with Charice in the singing competition called Batang Kampeon. She also mentioned that she was in the same batch as Sarah Geronimo in the singing tilt Star for a Night. It seems that there are really awesome talents from Charice's generation of singing competitors who, in one way or another, have made a name for themselves in the music industry. Aside from Almira, there are Angeline Quinto, Katrina Velarde, Klarisse De Guzman, and Alyssa Quijano. (And there could be others.) One great thing that is common among them is their ability to belt incredibly high notes. And of course, Charice is known for her out of this world ability in belting insanely high notes. I now wonder what these talents ate when they were growing up.

I wish all the best for the four sisters who are currently in London to fulfill their commitments with X Factor UK. They will perform with the other finalists during this weekend's grand finals before the announcement of the winner among the remaining three contestants namely: Louisa Johnson, Che Chesterman, and Reggie N Bollie. The phenomenal girl band will also be part of the X Factor Tour scheduled for February-March 2016. 

4th Impact has had at least two gigs after their shocking elimination from the X Factor. One was at the G-A-Y/Heaven Club and the other at the Clothes Show. Let the following videos speak for the audience reactions to their immense talent.

Almira, Irene, Mylene, and Celina have indeed made a great impact on the UK audience. They have also made a lasting impression on the global viewers of the show. They are now gaining more fans and followers on their social media accounts. Their online videos, including the ones from years ago, are constantly increasing in the number of views. I am very happy for them.

As Charice had said a number of times, the song Maghintay Ka Lamang significantly guided her and helped her go through the many obstacles in chasing her dreams. The lyrics of the song reminded her to be patient and to not give up on her dreams.

Never let go of your dreams, 4th Impact!
