Pinoy Idol

I wasn’t able to watch Pinoy Idol but you can view audition videos and eric’s Pinoy Idol Luzon auditions

The editing of this edition is much better, entertaining with bits of drama here and there.

Let’s take a look at some blind hopefuls in Iloilo.

Annie Rose Britania brought Jolina to tears. Ogie gave a yes but Jolina and Wynard said it was a “no”.

Katchry Jewel S. Golbin of Tapaz, Capiz moved the judges that she got all their votes.

More talents showed up in Cebu such as

Hannah Joy Wenceslao from Leyte.
Frances Villanueva with her Caribbean-Bohemian look

Madriza, the single mom working in a call center looks like a Pinoy Idol potential but her problem was she overdid her singing towards the end.

I wonder why singers like Carmela Alonsabe made it. The “birit” style is just not original singing style. I still feel that not a lot of good singers were featured in this episode.

You think this episode was better than the Mindanao audition?

I just watched the pilot episode, the launch for the First Pinoy Idol. Featured was the audition in SM Cagayan de Oro City and Davao. I don’t know about you but I didn’t find any Pinoy Idol potential Top 24 finalists. Maybe Raymel Jose Fernandez or Darling. You know how it is in American Idol, I got used to seeking a voice that is totally unique. It was quite a disappointing first episode.
