MANILA - A blind Filipina singer who became a social media sensation for her touching audition finished third place at the talent show "France a un Incroyable Talent" (France has Incredible Talent) on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).

Alienette Coldfire, or Katchry Jewel Golbin in real life, once again moved the judges and the audience with her rendition of Jacques Brel’s “Quand on n'a que l'amour" for her final performance.

It was the song "La Vie En Rose" (Life in Rosy Hues) by Edith Piaf that made Alienette interested in the French language.

"Nung marinig ko ang song ni Edith Piaf na La Vie En Rose, I told myself, parang iba ang style nito. I found it unique so parang gusto kong maintindihan lahat ng mga kantang ganun," she previously told ABS-CBN News.

(When I heard Edith Piaf's 'La Vie en Rose,' I told myself, 'Hey, this one's different.' I found it unique so I wanted to learn all the other French songs.)

Alienette learned French in three years through blogs and online communities. This mental strength was also admired by the show's male judges.

"I listen to French conversations without understanding them. I listen closely to the rhythm of the language. Tapos nung nag-start na ko to learn the language seriously, everything came naturally na lang (When I started to learn the language, everything else came naturally)," she said.
