Pinoy Idol Final 3 - Final Results Night 08/17/08

Who's the very first
Pinoy Idol?

Gretchen Espina

Who should have been the very first
Pinoy Idol?

Penelope
or

Robby Navarro

The result was a disaster - that was evident even on the faces of the three judges right after Raymond announced who bagged the coveted title. I was happy to see and hear again the other Top 24 finalists - since most of them really deserved to be in the Final 12 and 2 of them should've been the best contenders for being the Pinoy Idol. I don't agree with the decision, but what can I do?

To the rest of the hopefuls, especially to Drizzle, Bev, Regene, Vren, Meryl, Walton, JJ - Final 12 would've been a lot exciting if you were there - just continue singing.

To Jayann and Ram, kudos! I know you'll go places with your talent.

To Robby and Penelope, you're the best among the 24, so keep your heads up and continue inspiring others with your music!

To Gretchen, thank you. I hate to say this, but I have to;

You are the very first

Pinoy Idol Final 3 - Final Performance Night 08/16/08

Who among these hopefuls will be the first Pinoy Idol?

Who should win?

Ram Chaves

He is not the best singer in the group, nor the most exceptional performer, but Ram is my Pinoy Idol. I am basing my conclusion not on the performances tonight, but on the journey they have been through the past months. He arranges and owns every song he performs; he has been strongly consistent since day one; and he has the outstanding talent in singing.

Can we call that the Final Performance Night? I don't know. While watching, I somewhat felt watching a nonsense show that is in between SOP and Pinoy Pop Superstar Grand Finals. The net and wind effect on the opening number? My God! It's even cheaper than having mascots on stage.

So they have managed to pull off a live show? Well, it's quite impressive. But the thing is, the show is all about the battle of the remaining Idol hopefuls, yet it seemed like it was a variety show which offered a lot of guests which outshone the so-called Final 3. I'm not against any of them, but the Final 3 has to sing 3 songs which should be long enough in order for them to prove worthiness of the title! They sang 3 songs - in below 2 minutes! I think the whole show looked sandwiched! Ram, Jayann and Gretchen did not have the best opportunity tonight to prove they are the first Pinoy Idol - I can't consider it as a finale either.

The cheap opening number; the spoiled performances of the Final 3; the judges commenting only on the last part; Karylle and Rhian doing again the job of Raymond; too much guests for the performance night instead on the results show; Louie Ignacio. Who's to blame? Magic wasn't present on Pinoy Idol's finale performance night.

This is the reason why Mau Marcelo won Philippine Idol; for all the people behind Pinoy Idol, watch and learn - envy if you may:

Who is the Final 3?

Jayann Bautista

Gretchen Espina

THOUGHTS

Kid Camaya, not part of the Final 3? Now this is really worse. Even Ogie's facial expression can't hide his disappointment about Kid.

Gretchen Espina, daughter of the Biliran Governor, makes the cut. The power of money! I predict she's the FIRST PINOY IDOL..

Good luck Philippines!

Who should be the Final 3?

Kid Camaya

Jayann Bautista

Ram Chaves

Need I elaborate more? Among the remaining hopefuls, these three can really express singing prowess, exceptional talent, and hype performance. Star material is not only based on looks, so the viewing public should vote for these three.

THOUGHTS

Last performance night - same old crap on the show. Lights, editing, audio failures. I'm glad they're really jumping to finale already by next week. I can't stand this anymore. Next season should be done a lot better GMA.

The judges said their final appeal to the audience. Hope it works for tomorrow's elimination results.

So that was the greatest "Idol" performance of the final 5? Well, it was boring. Only Kid wowed me - except for that falsetto.

THOUGHTS

So that was the big announcement - leaping fast forward to finale after two vote outs next week? What the hell! Shortening the agony of watching this show would be the best part of this. And yes, I'm very looking forward right now for the next season! I can't wait to see having fresh and talented people who would be perfectly fit to run this show. I hope the director would be booted out by the management at the end of the finale. Now that one would be really big!

On the contrary, thank heavens Warren left. Period.

Like Philippine Idol, three hopefuls will battle it out on the finale. As for me, I hope its Kid, Jayann, and Ram. And the finale on SMX? Weird.

Jayann Bautista

Jayann was quite good actually, but having bad comments from the judges at this time of the competition, it would be crucial. Daryl's back in the bottom group, but he was no worse than Warren. Look, this guy has been murdering a lot of songs already since Top 24 - mentioning them here would be worthless. He should go home - even earlier than some of the previous booted out hopefuls. Kudos to Kid! I had goosebumps. I was entertained by Ram and was touched by Gretchen.

THOUGHTS

Editing is way cleaner than the previous episodes, as well as the audio. Lighting is still the same. Glad there were no other "hosts" and unpleasant "creatures" such as mascots at the venue this time. There have been recaps since last week - that's good.

Basil Valdez comments just like Wyngard - he was not afraid to tell Warren he was saddened by what he did.

The booted out hopefuls from Top 24 were present at the gala night. But I must admit that watching this show wouldn't be as exciting as before having Mae, Robby, and Penelope in it. Hope the big surprise tomorrow would really be a surprise.

THOUGHTS

Kid was safe - I rejoiced! Warren again was saved by his beloved relatives and friends - I was doomed! Why? Penelope left the show tonight. First Mae, then Robby, now Penelope! Sad, but true.

We haven't heard anything from the judges tonight, but I admire Jolina and Ogie for standing and applauding Penelope for a job well done - they were not afraid to show their sympathy for the remaining excellent hopeful who was just booted out. Again, there were mascots on the venue! F*ck Ignacio!

Unless the so-called BIG announcement for next week's gala performance and elimination results night is pertaining to a Wildcard - or anything that would bring back the most deserving hopefuls who were booted out - then I guess Pinoy Idol is really a hopeless show. Thanks Direk for starting the season very, very right.

Warren Antig

It's the Rock week, so I expected that the remaining rockers in the competition will really step their games up tonight and wow everyone. Unfortunately, they did not. Gretchen has the attempt, her performance was nearly there - but she failed vocally. Ram as expected sounded good, but it was plain, and the performance was really short that the spark was lost. Warren, however, murdered yet another song. He doesn't deserve the vote. Props for Daryl for making it really big tonight! I was really astounded for what he did!

THOUGHTS

Since the show began, tonight's gala performance has the cleanest audio yet - thanks Warren for last week's query! The singers were really heard clearly throughout each performance. However, the lights and editing are still the same. And Karylle was there again! For heaven's sake, give the floor to Raymond - for hosting is his job.

Week after week, Wyngard is booed by fans from the audience. That's really cool! Ogie still gives the best comments. Jolina? Never mind..

Like the other episodes, there were again awkward moments. Direk, did I really see Jollibee mascots behind the judges? And why were the bands standing at the corner of the stage? But unlike weeks ago, tonight's gala performance was indeed enjoyable.

THOUGHTS

So Daryl was part of tonight's bottom group even though he excelled in the gala performance last night - this means trouble; well, for Daryl's side only I guess. This only means that Pinoy Idol viewers are now voting for the better ones among the remaining hopefuls, and too bad Daryl's not one of them. But I'm actually glad he's safe this time. Ram and Toffer were the other two in the bottom group; where Toffer left the show tonight with lots of smiles from the faces of the remaining hopefuls, and Warren even carried him as a sign of salute to his friend - but I think Warren should've been the one eliminated. Hello Wyngard and Ogie? Kid's not the one who's deteriorating, it's Warren!

Speaking of Warren, as broadcasted earlier in Pinoy Idol Extra, he was complaining about the show's sound system last night. To quote his query, "Please lang, sayang yung pinaghirapan ko kasi hindi ko marinig yung boses ko sa audio". The audio man (I forgot his name) answered and said that nothing's wrong with the audio. Well, Mr. Ignacio? When will you wake up? Somebody "from" your show has already broadcasted nationwide his "complain". Please be concerned!

Toffer Rei

Gretchen Espina

Warren murdered the song. Nothing more, nothing less to say. Toffer looked and sounded trying hard - it lessened the appeal of his performance. Gretchen actually started quite well, but it got boring and boring and boring. I'm actually surprised that Daryl's not in my list tonight - for I was surprised on how good he was in this week's gala night! I'm seeing a potential Jan Nieto, remember him?

THOUGHTS

The lights and the editing again are the biggest crap in this show. It's so colorful that it hurts the eyes, yet the show is squeezed in a very short time span that it really looks somewhat in a rush. Mr. Ignacio, are you there? I saw Karylle again - only twice. Why was she there? She shouldn't be there!

Jaya should've been the female judge in this show - she uttered significant and helpful comments tonight that really outshone Jolina's. Wyngard is still booed by fans - love it! Such an Idol classic!

So the first two music videos were shown tonight - who was the director? The first one's a crap - with awkwardness on every blockings and the lack of headrooms. The second one's better, both vocals and visuals - but still amateurish. But I must admit, I enjoyed this gala night compared to last week's. Kudos Jaya!

THOUGHTS

I wasn't surprised with Toffer and Kid being in the bottom group, for I still think they lack charm and spunk as a performer; but yes, they are part of the better singers in the group. My jaws dropped when the two were safe and Penelope and Sue were the bottom 2! Yes, of all the remaining hopefuls, why Penelope? For heaven's sake! She's undeniably good! But Sue left the competition tonight with a big smile and cheered "Good luck guys!" - finally, someone deserving to go was booted out.

They were grouped before the results were announced, another Idol classic! But the editing? C'mon direk! So Daryl and Gretchen were yet again safe - thanks again to their families, friends, and ever-loyal fans who supports them, and thanks to Wyngard for reminding who to vote each week deservingly.

Daryl Celis

Gretchen's Kung Maibabalik Ko Lang reminded me of AI7's Kristy Lee Cook on her attempt to make 8 Days A Week a country song, but this time, she twisted it to sound acoustic. And yes, it sounded awful. Sue again makes a mistake while performing - what a shame. Daryl just can't perform at par with the others no matter what he does, and no matter how loud his fans cheer for him.

THOUGHTS:

The editing really is a crap! Who is the editor here? Minamadali nyo ang show, nawawalan ng saysay. And please! The lights! Ang dami-dami! Tinatalo ang kagandahan ng background visuals - sayang! And again, why was Rhian there?

Ogie and Wyngard still gives unbiased comments that is deserved by each hopefuls - yet again, Jolina remains the biggest joke of this show, and there she goes again with the irritating remark "winner". Regine was there, trying hard not to be too harsh for everyone because it's her week - which actually went ok.

Fanbase is really growing, but the show's improvement paces slowly and slowly, thanks to the director I guess. And yes, this attempt to have our own Mariah Carey week wasn't that successful.

THOUGHTS

I rejoiced when Daryl and Sue were announced to be part of the bottom group! But when I heard Robby was the third hopeful to be part of it and was the third hopeful to be eliminated in the competition - I was devastated! C'mon Filipinos! Aren't you sick and tired of watching charming people on TV that has everything except a single tinge of talent?! This is so sick! Robby's definitely, hands-down, the best among the remaining hopefuls - and yet Daryl was saved. Crap.

This has been the most shocking results night of Pinoy Idol since the show began. I totally hate and disagree with the public's verdict. And yes, I think the judges and the entire staff and crew of the show feels the same way, too.

For the past weeks, Warren and Sue are becoming mediocre in terms of their performances. Warren, can't you sing any other genre besides rock? And Sue, you murdered again another song! C'mon! And again, Daryl had a lackluster performance.

THOUGHTS:

The show has improved, but Mr. Ignacio, what's with the editing now?! Gosh! Bumabalik na naman yung problem sa show when it first aired the performance episodes - minamadali! Halatang-halata ang cuts! Do something about it - and yes, with the lights as well. And what was Karylle doing there? She didn't do any help.

Last week, Jolina was very kind as of judging each Idol hopeful's performance, she all gave them props. But this time, the bitch is back - bitching Wyngard above all. But that's good, hindi sya mukhang plastik.

Fans can now be really seen raving at the audience while their bets are singing on stage, and shouts while a judge says his/her harsh critic - an Idol classic! The fan-base of Pinoy Idol is really growing.
