A group of boys (known as TNT Boys) just won a Filipino singing competition with a drag version of Bang Bang by Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande and Jessie J.
The young boys sailed to victory on Sunday night (19 August) after they took to the grand finale stage of Your Face Sounds Familiar.
The show’s format sees contestants impersonate celebrities and sing their songs.
But this particular season of the show focused on kids.
In the winning performance video, the boys – Mackie Empuerto, Kiefer Sanchez and Francis Concepcion – start off in suit jackets.
They step into a lift and it cuts to them on stage in full drag, complete with gold outfits, wigs and heels.

The audience goes wild as Jessie J goes first, then Ariana and Nicki at the end.
The boys come together and walk through the crowd with confidence.
As they finish, the crowd goes wild and the judges are all standing up in awe.
Judge Sharon Cuneta said: ‘Every Sunday you make me happy. That was a fantastic number.’
While judge Ogie Alcasid said: ‘You are so awesome. We are very proud of you.’
The TNT Boys took home ₱1 million ($18,700 £14,500 €16,100) as well as a house and a trophy.
