From channeling the Korean pop idol in her via her <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/11/8/week-3-alexa-ilacad-wins-jury-s-praise-for-her-stunning-jennie-performance-yfsf-2025-2040">transformation to BLACKPINK member Jennie Kim</a>, as she performed her hit solo single “like JENNIE” in the previous round of “<a href="http://yourface.abs-cbn.com">Your Face Sounds Familiar</a>,” Alexa Ilacad went on to astound everyone with her depiction of global pop culture icon Britney Spears in the Round 4 of competition.  Taking on the stage with her version of the most iconic performance of “I’m A Slave 4 U” by the Princess of Pop, the multifaceted Kapamilya star instantly wowed everyone when she stepped out of the “iconator” because of how she truly looked like her. The spectators were further fascinated when she started singing and dancing, as she indeed exuded power, sensuality, and grace, even though she had to perform with a huge snake resting on her shoulders. With how she totally slayed her act, she earned a standing ovation from the jury. While hosts Vhong Navarro and Jhong Hilario, as well as her fellow celebrity performers Akira Morishita and Rufa Mae Quinto, were seemingly scared of her slimy dance partner, but not Sharon Cuneta. She courageously went to the stage to borrow the gentle albino python from Alexa and shared that she actually used to have a pet snake in her younger years, which unfortunately died. As the hosts pointed out that she seemed to be adept and comfortable in holding and dancing with the snake, Alexa shocked everyone when she blurted in jest, “Oh yes. I’ve encountered so many before.” She went on to impart that process she went through in order to get close with the snake, which she revealed was actually trained to mingle with other people and be under the spotlight, as well as demonstrated again the iconic singing style of Britney that she compared to a door being slowly opened.  Since she’s not the only Britney this week, they also asked for her message to Jason Dy. She conveyed, “I just wanna say proud na ako agad sa’yo, Jason. Pero pasensya na, may the best Britney win.” But she immediately took back the last part in fear that karma would get to her.  The jury praised Alexa for her intense, on-point, remarkable, astounding, flawless, effortless, and perfect impersonation of Britney Spears—from her physical appearance to overall stage presence. Do not miss an episode of “<a href="http://yourface.abs-cbn.com">Your Face Sounds Familiar</a>” every weekend night, 7:15PM on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb">iWant</a>. Viewers can also catch it on TV5 every Saturday, at 8:15PM, and Sundays, at 8:30 PM.
