The Great 8

Who will be out of the Idol tonight?

Last night's performances of the top 8 were OK. Two of them I consider exceptional. Indeed, the remaining Idol hopefuls have improved a lot. Penelope and Daryl Celis did their job well. Ram Chaves had a bad beginning but nailed it on the second part of his song. Penelope has learned the dynamics of singing. That's good. Daryl started singing from his heart. That's also good. But next time, he should open his mouth well so that he could pronounce the words well and modulate his voice. Noticeably, when he's singing with the group, he barely opens his mouth.

So who will be eliminated tonight?

But before that, let's see how the cast-outs were doing. JJ Jr. performed in SOP (GMA7). He looked promising. He can be a popular young celebrity. Jeni Rawolle on the other hand, was singing ahead of the time signature. When singing with a group, she should learn how to sing in unison.

I thought Kid Camaya or Jayann would be out of the Idol, but I was wrong. I thought Kid, who is showing an attitude, would follow the footsteps of Robby Navarro. Stay humble, kid.

Toffer Rei or Daryl Celis? Daryl Celis is crowd drawer because of his looks. But he's in the bottom two right now. Toffer competes with his fellow rocker Warren Antig and Ram Chavez which can be a disadvantage for him.

Indeed, the Philippines had to pick the best among the three rockers; and the Philippines picked Ram and Warren. Goodbye, Toffer Rei.

Here's one good performance of Toffer Rei. Unless Toffer improves his diction, he should stick to singing Tagalog songs.

Dyesebel Learns the Truth

Week 2 Episodes The next episodes after the first week were not as exciting as the first few days. In a few words, I can give you the synopsis. Dyesebel was able to save Fredo and hid him inside a cave. Bukanding (Paolo Ballesteros), her foster brother, persuaded her to go home for fear of the queen's punishment. Back to the cave, they found out that Fredo was bitten by a sea snake. Dyesebel left to look for cure. While she was gone, Berbola found Fredo inside the cave. She, too, fell in love with Fredo. In Sireneya, the queen learned about mermaids swimming up to the shore (which is forbidden). The queen had them hunted. Erebus (Alfred Vargas) warned Dyesebel and Bukanding that they were able to leave the cave and went to a shore where Fredo recovered. Berbola pointed at Dyesebel as the mermaid who violated the law. Dyesebel was sentenced to death; but Erebus told the queen that Berbula, too, was guilty of the same crime. The queen could not sentence her daughter Berbula to death....
