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.

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...

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...

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...
