Dear Flux Fans,

We have been away from the mighty powers of technology the past few days which explains why there weren’t any new posts. We missed the Top 20 performances last Friday and Saturday so we could neither report nor upload the videos, or just diss Raymond for everyone’s amusement.

We’re sorry. We just had to get away from the hustle and bustle of cyberworld. Next time we’ll send you postcards. Please forgive us.

On tonight’s Idol note, the four eliminated wannabes were Rye Estrada, Sherwin Marquez, Regene Ong, and Vren Villaflor.

As usual, the production was boring and anticlimactic. Short and lackluster. Though we’ve heard that Vren sang really well during female night, she still got the boot. Kinda reminiscent of last week’s with Bev Ejercito, eh?

Is Pinoy Idol already becoming a contest between popularity and talent? Isn’t it a tad bit early? Shouldn’t we wait until the Top 12 is chosen? Well, what d’ya think? Let us know in the comments.

Meanwhile, we’re enjoying the placid Sunday night in Baguio. See you in the lowlands.

Cheers!

Live performances will be held at Filmex, Makati.

Honestly, while I was observing at rehearsals, some song choices were tall orders for the contestants. Most of them over estimated their capabilities. While some song choices were too easy for the rest.

A lot of the song choices are non radio hits. I just hope the audience relates to it.

Pinoy Idol: Top 24

Auditions, Pinoy Idol 11 Comments »

Before I begin with my evaluation of the most recent Pinoy Idol episode that gave us our shining Top 24, let me just apologize for two things:

1.) Sorry for not having the videos. The episode was crappy anyway like it always was. Syke, the real reason is that our video captor has had to go away for personal reason. So we are in the lookout for a kindhearted fella to provide us with videos royalty-free. If you’re that, and goodlooking, please let us know.

2.) We had told you before with conviction no less that Sue didn’t make it to the Top 24. Well, that’s what we were told and we are sorry if we were all misinformed. That’s life peoples and don’t hate us for just relaying the message. Next time we’ll be more finicky in accepting inside scoop.

So that settles our shortcomings, we hope. Let’s now talk about Idol.

First, I have to say that Ogie keeps getting better, more believable. His comments are getting more sensible by the minute and though he hasn’t been able to compensate for Wyngard’s acerbic poppycock, we are starting to like the judges as a whole. Okay fine, I lied, I just like Ogie.

Raymond, oh Raymond. He is really annoying, isn’t he? He looks so fake talking to the contestants and his lines cannot be any more inconsequential. Somebody tell the producers that it isn’t too late to get Papa Drew Arellano, or anyone else, to supersede the obsolete whale.

If the signs were better, the stage more grand, and everyone spoke English, I would have mistaken the show for American Idol. Actually, not really. It was just too much of a copycat - from the audition process, the group division, the long walk on the hallway, to the dance fest at the end - the show fell short in showing Filipino creativity. There was no localization except for the show being held at SM Cinemas and the hopefuls being Filipinos. We all would have liked to see GMA reinvent the popular worldwide show, wouldn’t we?

And what is up with the name-changing? I understand that some contestants have not been given monikers like John, Mark, David, Paris, Britney, or Christina, but to morph their given names to something else for the show’s convenience is, for me, unjustifiable. I am sure the contestants have nicknames of their own and it surprised me why they hadn’t imposed them instead. Take for example Elizalde Camaya. I know for sure that around his circle of friends he’s called Zaldy. But for Chrissake, where did “Kid” come from? And Eleuterio? He couldn’t have grown up being called that. It was just too long. Elliot? Someone shoot me now.

Were the contestants aware that their names were being changed and they simply gave a thumbs up to the producers? Or were they told later that their names were changed on national TV? Either way, there’s something wrong with that picture. I’m just saying.

I also have to point out that Wyngard is definitely delusional. His comment that Carol has to lose weight was something that stupefied me throughout the show. So Carol has to lose weight while Regene doesn’t? And why is weight even an issue here? Did Mau’s weight deter her from being the first Philippine Idol. Or in GMA terms, did Raymond’s obesity, not to include his atrocious lines, prevent him from being the host? Let us all give ourselves a moment and think about it.

I am feeling better now. And so here is our Top 24 (without their ludicrous screen names):

1.) Regene Ong
2.) Angeli Mae Flores
3.) Paolo Dio Maghari
4.) Joselino Pimpinio Jr.
5.) Roberto Navarro
6.) Beverly Ejercito
7.) Eleuterio Andal
8.) Meryl David
9.) Warren Antig
10.) Ryan Estrada
11.) Ramon Chaves III
12.) Sue Ellen Cubing
13.) Vrenilyn Villaflor
14.) Drizzle Muniz
15.) Daryl Jett Celis
16.) Gretchen Espina
17.) Jennifer Rawolle
18.) Sherwin Bayangan
19.) Walton Zerrudo
20.) Carol Anne Leus
21.) Elizalde Camaya
22.) Penelope Matanguihan
23.) Krisoffer Rei Tragico
24.) Jayann Bautista
