And the Superstar Fell: Mae Flores is Out

I am disappointed, pissed and dismayed. Tonight's results were okay, if not for the inclusion and the deliberate exit of Mae Flores . And with that, we're down to eight chipmunks, Kid Camaya and Jayann Bautista. Even your worster has bets and sadly, most of them are gone now. That includes Meryl, Jeni, Regene and JJ Jr. and Mae. Mae has been consistent since Top 16. She's my bet since she sang with Regene at SMX (I Will Survive). She is actually a darkhorse to win it. She might not have the same excellent performance last night, she has given us one of the two best performances the show has given us so far. Mae should have made it through. Warren and Toffer consistently gave us bad performances the past four weeks! Well, I'm kinda happy that Warren stayed proving the effectivity of VFTW to influence people. My final take: Pinoy Idol is downright pitiful. It is hopeless and won't, in any way, produce the best singer of the country, nor of the competition. Well, unle

Finals: Pinoy Idol Top 11 Recap

We're down to eleven. We saw some improvements with the lightings, the stage, the set and the judges becoming a little bit relevant. But still, we're down to eleven sucky singers. No one got the 'excellent' thing once again. No one even make me smile. A lot made me laugh. And here's your most-awaited bashing recap. And to add to the whackness of the show, they still can't pick a genre to theme their gala night and after their option "My Greatest Performance" comes this week's theme, "I Sing This Song For..." Looks like Formal Theme no. Whatsoever to me. And elementary years haunts me... Tonight, we start with Fred Flintstone introducing us the Whack 11 . We start the night with the one who can only sing Filipino rock songs. Murdering the enunciation of every word of the song You Give Love A Bad Name , I can say that yes, you gave the song a bad rendition. Warren looked too skippy and hoppy and high with his annoying smile. He's just

Top 11: Song Choice

And we'll see more boring performances, freaky dance moves from Sue Ellen and I imagine her doing a Salbakuta with her song choice for this week. Shniffer Rei would probably mess up his song like what he did the past two weeks. Warren's choosing recycled songs and will defy another worst performance next round. And we'll support him so he ain't going nowhere. Penelope will try to show us how versatile she is but will fail to do that. Mae won't disappoint us this round. Kid will probably win our hearts with his vocals but will bore us to death. Gretchen sang the song that Miguel of PDA sang last round. Nice job picking a song, aye? And we will see Ramboo transform into a Banal na Aso this round. I hope he gets eliminated. I don't get what Pinoy Idol's theme this week. 1) Kid Camaya- I'll Never Love This Way Again (Anwar Robinson) 2) Warren Antig- You Give Love A Bad Name (Bon Jovi) 3) Toffer Rei- Changes In My Life (Mark Sherman) 4) Ram Chaves- Banal Na A

Lounging Down to 11: JENI Axed

It was another fun-filled night tonight as another good hopeful got booted out of the competition. Jeni Rawolle, the “great lounge singer” lost her battle to be the first Pinoy Idol. Proving that beauty and talent won’t guarantee winning, Jeni has been one of the top competitors of the competition. Not to mention, Jeni has a good heart too. In fact, she has dropped by in our site the past weeks. Hello there, Jeni! It was a shocking night indeed! Joining Jeni in the bottom group were surviving Chuckie doll Sue Uling and one of the better and versatile competitors, Kid Camaya. With that, we’re down to ten karaoke singers and a chipmunk. Don’t forget to support Warren Antig next week! Vote for the Worst Pinoy has been successful in helping Warren stay, and of course we helped Gretchen to stay through to the Final 12! Looks like Toffer’s not that “unfamous” as we think he is, aye? And Ram too, looks like he has some Bamboo fans loyal to him, aye?

Finals: Whack 12 Recap

Horrible lightings. Irrelevant ramblings from the judges. Irritating “Winner!” comments from Jolina. This pretty much sums up the 1st pre-recorded Gala Night of Pinoy Idol. And tomorrow, after the newly-imposed seventeen-hour text voting (only) votation process, another good performer would be going home. Tonight, we start the show off with a dismaying performance by the Whack 12. We saw lights everywhere and I mean everywhere! The lights didn’t even compliment the stage design. There’s nothing grandeus with the new set. The technicals did a horrible job, since the arrangements were off and the band can’t be heard vividly. One minute performances. Lengthen it guys! Get more ads! :-) I advise. So, Gretchen started off with a bomber song choice and that is Aretha Franklin’s Respect . Yes, dear, you are no Aretha but doing that song takes a lot than what you have. You gave us an incomparable performance. It was way too ordinary that it seemed like it was a baby singing a nursery rhyme. H

Song Choice: Top 12

Yes, I know. It's gonna be another boring performance night tomorrow. Well, I can't be much redundant about my ill feelings for this show na. Grabe.

Here's our current ranking of LAGPAK IDOL Hopefuls. PINAKALAGPAK 01 Warren Antig 02 Sue Ellen 03 Gretchen Espina OK OK PA ANG KALAGPAK

Top 12: Who Got Booted?

Apparently, Filipinos are not voting for the worst people anymore. The not-so-top 12 will perform next week at SMX and the Carol Leus and JJ Jr. exited the show this round. To compete in the Top 12 are Sue Ellen, Jeni Rawolle, Penelope, Jayann Bautista, Gretchen Espina and Mae Flores for the girls; Kid Camaya, Toffer Rei, Warren Antig, Robby Navarro, Daryl Celis and Ram Chaves for the guys. We're down to twelve mediocre singers and GMA 7's still clueless of what's happening. They have actually booted off possible Idol winners and didn't do anything to prevent it. Poor franchise. At least, here at Vote for the Worst Pinoy , we're happy to see Gretchen and Warren safe and performing next week. In the bottom two were Mae Flores and Daryl Celis . PS: I was actually gonna be in Filmex, Makati today but the rain fell so hard. Good thing kasi ansakit tingnan na natanggal ang dalawang pinakamagaling pinakamahina sa kompetisyon.

Top 7 Male Recap

If there's really someone in the competition who's focused into winning this contest, it's gonna be Kid . His performance tonight didn't even sound Michael Jackson. It's great. Kid has the best vocals among the guys. Kaya lang, he lacks star appeal at medyo plain nga. Kailangan nga ng konting intrigue kaya kinailangang i-magnify ang baklaan banggaan nila ni JJ. The kid should be in the Top 12. :-) Ang sarap niyang pakinggan. Ampangit lang talaga ng leeg niya, no? Nawawala na ang charms ni Daryl Celis week by week. Pero sa lagay niya this week, he's improving naman kahit papaano. Ayos naman ang dinadagdag niyang kaunting kulot-kulot sa kanta pero hindi nga lang kasi talaga nagkecreate ng impact. Nagbridge na't lahat bored pa din kami. Daryl, bigyan mo naman ng hustisya ang face value mo, para naman may dahilang iboto ka ng mga baklang nagtititili sa iyo! Nako, ayan na naman si Ramboo! Nakakainis siya dahil may attitude siya at kahit ilang beses na siyang su

Top 7 Female Recap

Jayann Bautista. Iha! Dahan-dahan lang. Huwag mo kaming sigawan! Though maganda ang boses niya, mukhang palagi syang pasigaw! Narinig ko na ito sa isang konsyerto before with Mark Bautista at ayos naman siya kaya nakagugulat ang kanyang pagdedeteriorate sa Pinoy Idol. Jeni Rawolle made a pretty good performance and the judges said the otherwise. WTF!? Pinoy Idol is so wrong. At nakakatuwa ang self-destruction na ito! Lagot kayo sa fans ni Jeni! HAHAHA. Anrami pa naman nila! Mae Flores . For me, she's one of the better contestants. Meydo nag-improve ang lukring. Bumabalik na ang kanyang spunk. Mala-Wendy Valdez ito nung nasa PDA si Wendy. Maayos din naman ang pagkakakanta niya at mararamdaman mo, so okay okay na din siya. Pinilupi, nilupi mu naman ang intunasyun mu day! Piborit pa naman kita! Piru may intunasyun ka. Hahahahaha. At sino ba nagsabing magsuot siya ng ganun, mukha siyang chimay!? Pero kahit ano pa man ang mangyari, sa round na ito, si Penelope pa din ang nag-shine. Wa

Kid vs. JJ: Warlahan mga Inday!

What the heck!?! Super warlahan naman ang Kid Camaya at JJ Jr. sa national TV. Looks like competition's heating up for the kiddos. Kid's quite the serious and KJ type kasi and JJ as Kid said, "...is too much for himself." May pagka-mayabang nga ata at may attitude ang loko, akala mo naman kagalingan kumanta. Well, Kid's not sintunado. JJ's horrible at performances. Ampanget pa ng pangalan niya. Like super infinity na ang J sa pangalan niya. Even GMA wala nang maisip na ikagaganda pa ng pangalan niya, tapos inarte pa! Well, its just simple eh. Respetuhan lang yan. Baklaan lang 'yan. No offense meant ah. Pero 'yun lang yata ang hanap ng dalawa eh. HAHAHAHA. Baka kaya init ng ulo niyo sa isa't isa dahil type niyo ang each other. Napatagalog tuloy ako. Update: Sa mga nagsasabing TOP 14 ang magpeperform sa Sabado, hindi daw ito totoo. Top 7 guys daw sa Saturday at Top 7 girls sa Friday. Okay, okay!? Ayon yan sa reliable source, kaya maniwala na kayo. O

Update: Song Choices

Well, here's an updated list of the song choices... So, let's discuss them shall we? Shniffer Rei will be singing another (oh, can't we get tired of this?) rock version of whatchamacallit song of Edwin McCain. Insecurobby Navarro has chosen another ballad, so I'm expecting he'll be another disappointment (for us, 'cause he's gonna give us another flawless performance) *yawns*. JJ Jr. (getting annoyed with the name with infinite J's in it, GMA couldn't even think of anymore names for his lame name, no? Like Joselindo Pimpinio Jr. was changed in a rather worse name, JJ Jr.) will sing a Luther Vandross song? Oh no! Looks like he wants to top our Lagpakerz list this week. There is no doubt in my mind that Daryl Celis will be dancing to the tune of Right Here Waiting, and everybody's excited. Duh. Kid Camaya (the only possible matino among the guys) chose another boring song. Well, IbotoAngLagpak team would be very happy if he goes home, lesser good

Top 14: Father's Day Special

Here's the spoilers from IdolMole. Enjoy! :] Kid - Dance With My Father (Luther Vandross) Toffer - Have I Told You Lately? (Rod Stewart) Daryl - You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban) JJ - Just The Two Of Us (Will Smith) Ram - Seein' My Father In Me (Paul Overstreet) Warren - Anak (Freddie Aguilar) Robby - Papa Was A Rolling Stone (The Temptations) For the girls: Mae - Because You Loved Me (Celine Dion) Gretchen - Papa Can You Hear Me? (Barbra Streisand) Penelope - There You'll Be (Faith Hill) Jeni - My Heart Belongs To Daddy (Ella Fitzgerald) Sue - Papa Won't You Dance With Me? (Doris Day) Carol - I Turn To You (Christina Aguilera) Jayann - In My Life (The Beatles) -- With another lame song choice, I think there's a huge possibility of Warren being put up at the VFTWP pick for this week again. For the girls, well, there's still Carol Leus and Gretchen Espina. As of now, IbotoAngLagpak's picks are Gretchen Espina and Warren Antig.

A Success: Meryl and Walton Out

Two of the remaining goodies in the competition exited the show last night, it's no surprise as Walton Zerrudo and Meryl David got the boot. Meryl's lack of looks and personality got the best of her. Her performance last Saturday was okay and one of the best ones. Though one of the most consistent ones in the competition, Meryl, who confessed that Lauryn Hill mostly influences her music style, was voted out last night. She sang Killing Me Softly . Even if the judges gave the hype to Walton Zerrudo, he still lost his way to stardom. Even owning the night last Friday, Walton received the lowest number of votes along with Kid and Toffer in the Bottom 3. Along with Meryl in the bottom three were the best of the performance night: Mae Flores and Jeni Rawolle. --- Comments. It's actually suspicious since they only eliminated two this round (one male, one female). Can't they afford Kid, Toffer, Jeni, or Mae (some of the better contestants) to leave the show? If they want the

Sino ang Lagpak? : Top 16

The Top 16 has just been named. Its time to know who's up at Vote for the Worst Pinoy Iboto ang Lagpak ( I b A n L ag!).
