Girls, Top 8

Jayann is a fan Leona Lewis. She has to improve her diction. Parang iniipit niya yung boses niya. I think the song was too difficult for her.

On the first try, a contestant should try a ballad that will showcase his/her vocal range. On the second try, he/she should do the same thing to prove his/her consistency. Ramielle Malubay of American Idol impressed the judges the first time but failed the second time. That means the first was just luck?

Meryl is a fan of Laurin Hill. Her performance of Killing Me Softly was dry at the start pero bumawi sa latter part.

Jeni is a fan of Ella Fitzgerald. I enjoyed her performance of Too Darn Hot. But she has to improve more her diction.

Contestants should be able to sing and perform like a pro. Compare themselves to David Cook and David Archuleta. The Pinoy Idol hopefuls should be able to match the Davids' performance.

Gretchen, a fan of Jaya, performed "Wala Na Bang Pag-ibig". She was able to show her vocal range but her performance did not match Jaya's version.

Sue is a fan of Natasha Bedingfield. I don't like her but she nailed it this time even if she lost her focus towards the end.

Carol is a fan of Christina Aguilera. She sang The Voice Within. She's weak on higher notes but she did OK.

Penelope is a fan of Jordin Sparks. This is one girl that has improved a lot since the audition - her personality and her performance.

Mae is a fan of Kelly Clarkson. Singing "Walk Away", she had a weak start but improved it towards the end.

Jeni, Sue, and Penelope win my votes tonight.

How do you prepare for a high note? Sing it in your mind before you hit it vocally. Once the high note has registered in your brain, your vocal instruments naturally follow. And you don't have to worry about time of between singing it in your mind and singing it vocally. Your brain has the power to process information faster than a light speed.

Hating Kapatid: GMA Network's Short Film For Christmas

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 Twist That Protégé Jensen Turned Gold Into A Stone

The Final 5 Before The Twist Lovely performed well that night but she was eliminated. On the other hand, Nomer was too young for "Bohemian Rhapsody". It was just right if he was eliminated based on that night's performance. So, the final Five were Jensen, Lirah, So Wat, Krizza, and Kenneth. Based on the group's performance, So Wat could have been eliminated but text votes saved them. The Twist That Saved Lovely and Nomer The twist was to call back the 5 Protégés who were earlier eliminated. The five contenders battled for a second chance. As a result, Nomer and Lovely were called back. The next night was a double elimination night. The seven Protégés performed well that night except for So Wat. Kenneth and Lirah's performances were just average. So Wat was bombarded with negative remarks. The twist did not favor Kenneth and So Wat. They were eliminated that night; and there was no second chance for them. The twist favored Nomer and Lovely. They are now pa
