Whack 7: Dis-banded!

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 classy, not cheap, like Cueshe'. It was awesome but still, boring.

Daryl Celis. Nasaan K
It was a bit of a surprise. He did well. Vocally, it was so-so. Again, this guy will make the cut tomorrow, because of his looks and because he did way better than he was expected to.

So-so Performers.

Penelope. Weak.
Nothing extraordinary. I am actually tired of listening at her with these types of songs. Let's say she really has a unique voice but I she would be better off with songs that can prove her versatility. This one's deteriorating.

Ram Chaves. Sandalan
Undeniably, Ram has good chances of winning, NOT because of his popping eyes and freaky dance moves. And when I say freaky, it is damn freaky. He's stubborn. Until now, he's still doing the Bamboo thing and it's ick-y.

The Worse.

Gretchen Espina. Ikaw Lang Ang Aking Mahal.
Little Princess Gretchen sang the song oozing with confidence and terrible vocals. One of her better performances but still wasn't enoguh.

Warren Antig. Kahit Kailan.
He ruined the song and that's why he's still our pick for the worst. Good job! Warren Barren. See you next round!

Who's Leaving?
Bottom Three Prediction: Penelope, Kid and Warren. We might be bidding our goodbye to Penelope or Kid.

GRETCHEN ESPINA is in the TOP 3! HAIL VFTWP!

The Biliran Princess Gretta is in the Top 3! Congratulations to us! And now, what a way to end the competition but to give the show a worthy winner. CRAPPY SHOW=CRAPPY WINNER and who could be the best option but GRETCHEN ESPINA . The show does not deserve to have Jayann Bautista as the winner. Let's add another singing contest in the roster of her losses. After all, she's a hustler in losing these type of contests, isn't she? Not Ram, 'cause we know that GMA 7 has been pimping him for the crown. Its because they want a DAVID COOK counterpart. But it would be a great Finale! Imagine GRETCHEN singing MANANG BIDAY or ITIK ITIK SA MANILA ZOO would be such a delight. Imagine her singing in front of the two hundred people that will fit in SMX Convention Center 'cause the show can't afford to fill up the Araneta Coliseum. I imagine her dress. Oh! Her dress. And that make-up of hers that doesn't even compliment her icky facial expressions. Ilukot mo pa ang mukha mo...

Pinoy Idol: Gretchen Espina

GRETCHEN ESPINA Your Bilihan/ Biliran Princess and Pera Idol gave nice performances tonight. In fairness, siya lang ang may kinda Idol feel tonight. Yung dalawa kasi parang pre-Finals lang. As usual, hindi pa rin kagalingan si Gretchen pero siya ang may better performances tonight. Round 1: For Your Eyes Only Mababa ang arrangement pero parang pang 5th runner-up sa isang Pinoy Pop Superstar Finale. So okay na din. BWAHAHAHA. Round 2: Stand on Love It suited her. Though the arrangement was adjusted again, it was kinda good to hear her voice na medyo lumalaban. She might've prepared for this well. Round 3: Ngayon UP Manila Madrigal Singers. Haha. Dati, lahat ng finalists may chorale sa likod. If I'm not mistaken sa Philippine Idol eh mas marami pa at mas professional. Her performance is not a WINNER! pero okay na din compared sa other two.

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...
