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?

We are very positive that we will be able to bring to the audience a very good program, something that would stand next to American Idol.”

Another person who auditioned was Kat but she was not as lucky.

Upon hearing about Pinoy Idol for the past few months, I thought this show is going to be interesting. Imagining that it is equally GOOD as American Idol.

*Tsk tsk, unfortunately, it appears to be AWFUL. I don’t think this show will last long like AI.
