Whack 9: No Bird Shall Fly Today.

Even the songbird can't fly today. It was, as expected a dismaying night.

Even Regine Velasquez' guesting didn't help the lame show! We saw nine mediocre singers who can be proud of themselves singing better than Jolina Magdangal or Wyngard Tracy. They're performances didn't even level off with Regine's greatness.

Jayann started the night with Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigin Ka. Nothing very phenomenal with the performance. Jayann has a really good voice, she can very well beat Maricris Garcia or Jonalyn Viray, if that's what GMA's standard is.

It's such a surprise for Shniffer the Sniffer Rei to sing You Made Me Stronger. He had a shaky start but a flawless ending. Again, so-so.

We have a very nervous Penelope in the stage singing What Kind of Fool I Am. It was Penelope's worst performance. Notes are all over the place. Messed up and murdered performance.

Daryl Celis gave a simple, plain performance which gave all the girls (and gays) out there an opportunity to drool and sip what's left of his charismatic and macho personality. He did well. It was better than his other performances and I must agree, may kilig factor. I think that Daryl might really make it. He might not be the best singer but he is an effortless performer.

I am again, disappointed with the way they're downplaying Kid Camaya. I don't know why they keep on magnifying the "boring" performance but wouldn't want to emphasize on him being the best singer and vocalist of the competition. Kid sang Narito Ako with feelings and with such soul that really makes him worthy of the Idol title.

Pinoy Idol has much to offer towards the end. Four Lagpak singers. *yawns*

We have Princess Gretchen of Biliran who sang Kung Maibabalik Ko Lang. She did fairly well. But still, no wow factor.

I must say this is my favorite Ramboo performance. It's not overacting. It emphasizes his voice more. His Bamboo antics are lessened too. But still, dissatisfying.

This is my favorite performance of Sue "The Chihuahua" Ellen so far. She added R&B feel on Dadalhin. It felt inconsistent though. She was nervous and the performance was shaky from start to end.

And our favorite Warren Antig gave us a reggae version of Urong Sulong. It was good 'cause the arrangement was pleasant. It was one of the better performances of the week.

So here's our power ranking for the week:

01. Kid Camaya
02. Ram Chaves
03. Warren Antig
04. Jayann Bautista
05. Daryl Celis
06. Toffer Rei
07. Penelope
08. Gretchen Espina
09. Sue Ellen

Who's leaving? Well, a lot are hoping to see Sue Ellen going home tomorrow. There's a huge chance that she'll be leaving us. But we have Penelope, Kid and Toffer on our list of back-ups.

Yada. Yada. Yada. Pinoy Idol is not the same without Robby Navarro, Mae Flores and Jeni Rawolle.

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.

VOTE FOR THE WORST PINOY IS BACK!

And this time it will be so much better! Kasi nga, ika nga ni Vice Ganda: "We're not looking for the best technical singer, we're looking for an Idol as per the franchise." So ang truth dyan, the best male nakakakilg singer ang kukuning winner for sure. So sino nga kaya sa kanila ang papasok sa next round? Let's find out! Grabe! 2008 pa yung last post! O eto iaactive namin to ha! Suportahan nyo kami!

We Say Goodbye to Sue Ellen

Unlike the usual recap or crappy rant post, here's an essay by MidwayHeaven about the Demise of the Franchise, Pinoy Idol. We are appealing to Fremantle Media that the franchise be returned to ABC 5 for next year. The Demise of the Franchise by MidwayHaven July 14, 2008 As I write this, Pinoy Idol fan blogs all over the country are celebrating the elimination of Sue Ellen, a 16-year old singer from Iloilo City. Though she was only the fourth among the traditional twelve finalists, Sue Ellen nevertheless outlasted two others, namely Mae and Robby, who were considered fan favorites in the show. Despite the fact that she was, indeed, a poor singer, Sue Ellen's elimination only reflects the dismal state of the current Idol franchise in the Philippines. The sad fact is that fans are scrounging around, looking for a so-called "winner," from a remaining group of amateur singers who obviously lack the necessary talent to be considered "Idols." The "Idol" f...
