Protégé (GMA7) Krizza Wins the Battle for the Big Break

The top 3 contenders for Protégé battled for the the big break in the finals. The first round was a duet with their mentors. The second was a solo themed the performance of their life.

Krizza's duet with Aiza was simply outstanding. Her solo rendition of a Christmas song "My Grown-Up Christmas List" made a simple melody so special.

Lovely, on the other hand, in her eagerness to win, over-performed her songs both in the duet and solo. Her performances were flamed by her emotion to win rather than by the emotion called by the songs. For that reason, the songs came out differently. Lirah's solo number, in fact, came out better than that of Lovely's.

Protégé was trending on Twitter during the 2-hour show. Towards the end, even the name of Krizza and Lovely showed up in the top 10 trends of Twitter.

GMA Network's Protégé, I believe, is a success. It should call for a season 2 while it's hot.

Endless Love - A Filipino Adaptation of Autumn in My Heart

Courtesy pinoyhalo.com "Autumn in My Heart" is a Korean TV series. When GMA Network aired it on Philippine TV, it started a trend. Pinoys went gaga over Koreanovelas. GMA renamed the characters as Jenny, Johnny, and Andrew. The three Korean stars became popular in their character names rather than in their Korean screen names. GMA7 also gave it a new title - "Endless Love" - for the reason that there's no autumn in the Philippines. Today premieres once again Autumn in my Heart aka Endless Love but this time as a Filipino adaptation starring Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, and Dennis Trillo. Three superstars in one show! It's surely a hit. If I were to rewrite some scenes in Autumn In My Heart In general, I enjoyed the pilot episode of Autumn In My Heart. I particularly like the scene where young Johnny and Jenny ride their bicycles on a long brick road fenced with bougainvilla bushes. I give praise to whoever found that place. The school location w

"Mahal Kita"

Here's another favorite song. "Mahal Kita", which means "I love you" was composed by Danny Tan. The original version was sung by Gerald Santos, Pinoy Pop Superstar grand champion of 2006. The female version was sung by Maricris Garcia, Pinoy Pop Superstar grand champion of 2007. The song is included in Gerald's first album "A Day on the Rainbow". The song is currently the love theme song of "Marimar", a Philippine remake of the Mexican tele-novela with the same title. In the Philippine version, Marian Rivera plays Marimar; Dingdong Dantes plays the the role of Sergio Santibanez. In Marimar, the female version is a response to the male version of the song. In dramatic scenes that focus on either Marimar's (Marian) or Sergio's (Dingdong) emotions, you'll either hear Gerald's or Maricris's version. "Marimar" is currently showing weeknights on GMA Channel 7. Here's Gerald's version of "Mahal Kita&q
