Here is an interesting Pinoy Idol article entitled Girls Rule Pinoy Idol as written by Nestor Torre
MANILA, Philippines - After viewing the first weekend of telecasts showcasing the 24 finalists on “Pinoy Idol,” we can share these initial impressions:
Quite clearly, the 12 female finalists are more promising than their male counterparts, quite a number of whom sound and look rather “TH” and/or amateurish. “Star quality” generally eludes them—in fact, some of them come across as rather scruffy.
On the other hand, about half of the female finalists have both looks and singing talent going for them. At this early stage of the TV tilt, therefore, we can “predict” that the women will rule the roost during the final phase of “Pinoy Idol.”

I can’t help but agree with the readers of my blog. (I verified the IP address of the comments and they are all unique IP adress).
As I went through the criticisms towards GMA’s management of Pinoy Idol, I could only agree on these comments.
Attention GMA. Please do something with Pinoy Idol. These comments are meant to be constructive because we support the Pinoy Idol. I even created a separate blog for the Pinoy Idol because I had high hopes that it will surpass the ABC 5 Philippine Idol in 2006. I watched most of the live shows of Philippine Idol and compared it with the current Pinoy Idol so I have basis for my constructive criticisms.
I hope you look into these comments.
1. The top 24?? Top na ba yun? They all sound like bar singers. Walang dating. No one has a distinctive sound. No distinctive style. Wala ngang aabot sa kalibre ni Jan Nieto e. There’s something wrong with the judges.
2. The lights on the scaffolds of the stage, still too bright.
2. Even the video editing is soo boring… just lame ( i think i’ll be using “lame” to it’s fullest redundancy)
4. Even the sound, the musical band seems so karaoke on sound. It’s so sad that danny’s musical prowess is put into lame reputation. Even the voise of the amazing “the opera” cant be heard.

Eliminated in tonight’s Pinoy Idol Top 24 results night was Dio Paolo, Elliot Andal, Drizzle Muniz and Bev Ejercito . What do you think? Why all that sobbing drama in the end? It’s alright to be sad and all but the Pinoy Idol finalists looked like they were in a funeral.
While the show was in progress, a disgruntled viewer sent me an email which is worth sharing so that Pinoy Idol show improves.
