This is not confirmed yet. But... PINOY IDOL will be eliminating three contestants next week. The top three Idols will battle it out for three weeks but no one will be eliminated. By Finale, the person with the most votes wins.

Bye Penelope ! Thanks for giving Warren another week to stay in the competition. Warren and Kid joined her in the bottom 3. -- Next week, the Top 6 namely: Kid Camaya, Gretchen Espina, Jayann Bautista, Ram Chaves, Warren Antig and Daryl Celis will be mentored by Basil Valdez. -- There will be a BIG twist daw. And its very predictable that two will be eliminated next week and one loser will be going back :)

Here I go again, on bashing mode. Thank God, this time Pinoy Idol managed to give us a recap of the Top Whack-o 7. Let's bash, shall we? The judges were a bit okay tonight. Raymond is an eyesore. Karylle f*cked up. The bands looked like fangirls supporting the Idols murdering their original songs. And a bunch of so-so singers wanting to be the next Jonalyn Viray! Better Performers Jayann Bautista . Akin Ka Na Lang. She will be the Pinoy Idol and GMA's pawn against their flop Pinoy Pop Superstar "grand" champion Mariciris. Anyhoo, Jayann's better and has been versatile enough. I am so excited to see her doing a Phuong Vy on Asian Idol 2008. Kid Camaya. Stay. I am a bit shocked that it's going to be Cueshe' that he's performing tonight. I hate the band. I hate the song. Maybe because its vocalist is much more of a percussionist than a vocal genius. But Kid made me like the song, he made it his own. At the peak of the song, it was very moving, it felt cl...

Here's an update: Bye bye SHNIFFER REI! We will miss you here at Vote for the Worst Pinoy. Toffer Rei, Daryl Celis and Ram Chaves are the bottom three. And I am hoping Ram goes home tonight. Sayonara, turtle-head.

Here's the power ranking for this week. Even a basher like me has lost that hype for bashing Pinoy Idol. It felt tiring. Here's to hoping that next week I'll be back to bash more. 01. Penelope 02. Daryl Celis 03. Kid Camaya 04. Ram Chaves 05. Jayann Bautista 06. Gretchen Espina 07. Toffer Rei 08. Warren Antig Who's Leaving? The bottom two might be Ram and Warren. Or Kid. The judges are very unfair. Kid is really something and I would be so devastated if he goes. As of now, Penelope and Kid are the best. I'm betting on a Warren exit tomorrow. Daryl Celis is surprising us each week with better performances. They keep on hyping the Ramboo guy, but it just doesn't work for me. WHO ELSE HAS NOTICED THAT THEY CUT ANOTHER RAYMOND PART and gave it to JAYA (The Mentor)??

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...

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 op...

Vote for the Worst Pinoy would like to congratulate all those who didn't vote for Robby the Shnobby. And it's once again a success! Hey Shnobby, no need to quit 'cause Vote for the Worst Pinoy's behind you, if you feel that Pinoy Idol isn't for you. Buh-bye now. Buh-bye. And we have nine remaining hopeless talents. Keep on supporting Gretchen Espina, Warren Antig and Toffer Rei. We are encouraging you to vote your heart's out for this week's Lagpak's which are in the bottom three: Daryl Celis and Sue Ellen! We're all happy that you two survived the elimination last night. And I am really happy, that one of GMA's bets wouldn't win the title. It would be orgasmic if someone like Sue or Daryl will eventually turn out to be the winner. Go Kid Camaya and

Now, some of Wyndard Trapo's comments are really off. Especially when he commented on Kid's performance as of a highschool rendition. WTF! What happened to your ears Wyngard? It's not even reverse psychology. It'd probably because Rhian Ramos kissed this guy and Kid never didn't do what you wanted him to do! He doesn't deserve the criticism you gave him, and he was even the best of the night! Darn. So here's my recap. RAMboo started with a bang. Good performance. Hate his antics. Next, please. Gretchen bored me to death. And I'd be certainly seeing her in the competition next week since she's gonna get lots of votes, yet again. Sue-huahua Uling. The chihuahua she is, Sue improved this week and I think she's better with these type of songs and of course, chipmunks and M2M songs. But really even if she improved, she still doesn't deserve the Idol title, vocals-wise. One of the surprises of the evening is Shniffer the Rocker. Yea, he rocked ...
