Top 12 Boys

The Top 12 Boys performed tonight. So far, here are my favorites. If I remembered their names, that means, they performed well tonight.

Daryl Celis. I agree with Jolina's comment. He did well at first, he connected to hid audience but lost this connection on the latter part of the song. His falsetto was not that good. He has to improve it. He has charm. He can get a lot of fans.

Kid Camaya. Perfect pitch. Exact notes. Malinis ang pagkanta.

Ram Chavez. Good performance on stage. Warren is also good as a rocker. But like Wyngard said, he had to prove that he can sing other genre.

JJ Jr. He's got the looks and he can sing but lost his concentration towards the end.

Robby Navarro. Pulido ang pagkanta.

Toffer, Dio, Sherwin have to work on their dictions.

The rest didn't leave a mark. I could hardly remember how they performed.
The Idol hopefuls should remember that sa first note pa lang, kailangan eksakto agad. The very first note is very important.

I could not agree with some of the judges' comments. Ogie said to one of the hopefuls that his rendition of the song was outstanding; but on TV, he didn't sound well. He was pitchy. Maybe there's a difference between listening on TV and listening live. It's easier to spot an out-of-tune note on TV.

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...

The Final 5

Daryl Celis' rendition of "The Promise" was OK. His past two performances were better. In this episoded, Daryl talked to his dad over the phone after 4 years of not seeing him. His mom used to call him "idol" when he was a child. Gretchen Espina is a member of UP Singing Ambassadors. Kid Camaya did a vocally-good version of "Careless Whisper" by George Michael. He has around 25 siblings. Jayann Bautista was shaky at first when she sang "Finally" but recovered during the latter part. Ram Chaves, as expected, rocked again with Francis M's rap "Yugyugan". Ram's performance is the best among the five. As usual, he was confident on stage; he was performing, not competing. He has a character. He has a band called "Sutil". I would rate Ram with 5 stars (best). Kid and Jayann deserves 4.5 stars. Daryl and Gretchen, 4 stars. Indeed, they have improved a lot.

Etheria Ends

Today, the 50th episode of Etheria ends in order to begin a new chapter in the world of Encantadia. Etheria (from the word ether, the fifth element) was the 5th kingdom of Encantadia. Its goddess was Ether, who fell in love with Arde, a fellow god - a forbidden relationship. For that reason, they was punished by the god Emre. Ether was transformed into a snake; Arde, into a dragon. Ether, being powerful, was worshiped by the citizens of Encantadia. Such adoration gave birth to the Kingdom of Etheria. Emre, Ether, and Arde were not actually from Encantadia. They were banished from their own world - the world of gods. During a war between the good and revolutionary angels, these three gods sided neither with the good nor the revolutionary. They preferred to be allies of either camp which was not acceptable to the government of gods. For that reason, the minister of the angels banished them from the spiritual world and sent them to Encantadia - a spiritual world on earth. Lured by selfish...
