Protégé Nomer: Goodbye Everybody, I've Got To Go

In his rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody with Rachel Ann Go, Nomer sang "Goodbye everybody. I've got to go...." Quite truly, Nomer had to go because he's been eliminated from Protégé. A life of the show Inside Protégé, TV audience will miss him. While he's hot, GMA should not let the opportunity go. The network should cast Nomer immediately for Party Pilipinas.

The Curse of Goodbye Songs

In Bohemian Rhapsody, Nomer sang the line "Goodbye everybody. I've got to go." From the song Lately (by Stevie Wonder), Kenneth sang the line "cause its time could mean goodbye." As their thought projected, Nomer had to leave the competition while Kenneth, being in the bottom two, almost said goodbye as well.

I have followed American Idol since season 3. One thing I've noticed that every time a contestant sings a goodbye song, his idol journey ends. I don't know why is that. Maybe it's true that what you think is what you get.

Krizza and Aiza made a perfect duet

The best performance for tonight was Krizza and Aiza's polyphonic rendition of "Wind Beneath My Wings" and a song that I've heard for the first time. Rendered with a beautiful arrangement, the two sang two melodies in one song. If you're in a competition, a duet should be something like that of Aiza and Krizza's. Congratulations to both of them!

Jaya and Lovely's number, "Sino Ang Baliw" was a runner-up for me. It wasn't perfect, but the two did a good job. I don't like the song "Sino Ang Baliw" but Jaya and Lovely made it sound beautiful.

For the first time, Lirah with Janno did a number that matched her husky voice. A mash-up of Bamboo's "Hallelujah" and Sampaguita's "Nosi Balasi", their number was a good opener.

The rest of the Protégés did just okay.

Who will be next to be eliminated? Whoever sings a goodbye song is next.
