Youngest winning X Factor judge

Charice (Philippines, b. Charmaine Pempengco, 10 May 1992) was 20 years 5 months 5 days old when she mentored KZ Tandingan (Philippines, b. Kristine Tandingan) – two months her senior – to victory in the first season of The X Factor Philippines on 7 October 2012. Charice began filming the show’s live auditions six days after her 20th birthday, thus missing out on becoming The X Factor’s youngest judge – to The X Factor USA season 2 judge Demi Lovato (USA) – by a matter of weeks. Season 1 of The X Factor Philippines made its TV premiere on 23 June 2012. Charice’s self-titled 2010 album was the first by an Asian artist to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart (No.8).
