Hollywood A-lister Drew Barrymore raved about the performance of the TNT Boys in an exclusive teaser of “The World’s Best,” which she posted to her Instagram account to promote the airing of the global talent competition that will air in February on US TV network CBS.

“You know, I have a soft spot for kids. I was a kid performer, but I have kids now. This is a whole other thing. You possess a gift, you’re just that good,” said Drew in the clip, which also showed judges Grammy-winning artist Faith Hill and drag queen superstar RuPaul beaming after the trio’s performance of “Listen.”

The act, composed of Mackie Empuerto, Keifer Sanchez, and Francis Concepcion, also earned a standing ovation from the three superstar judges, as well as the show’s “wall of the world,” which features 50 of the world’s most accomplished experts from every field of entertainment.

In the post on her Instagram page, which has 10.4 million followers, she said, “I’m thrilled to be a judge on @theworldsbestcbs alongside @faithhill @rupaulofficial and our fearless leader @j_corden! This show is overflowing with talent from around the world. Here’s a sneak peek exclusive clip of what’s to come – I can’t wait for you all to see it!!!!”

“This performance from @thetntboys was so incredible #WorldsBest,” she added.
