Pinoy Idol Top 8 Boys Perform
Labels: Pinoy Idol, TV 0 commentsLast week, Dio Paolo, Elliot Andal, Drizzle Muñiz and Bev Ejercito were eliminated from the top 20. Too bad I wasn't able to watch the eliminations.
Ha! Tonight I came home just in time to catch the performances by the Top 8 Boys. When I found out the theme, I knew there will be some who will definitely step up, and some who will fold under the pressure of singing songs familiar to them. Here's a rundown of what happened.
Theme: Songs from their Greatest Musical Influences
JJ Jr. - Stevie Wonder - Sign, Sealed, Delivered
Ogie said: It was fun, 6/10.
Jolina said: It was pitchy, .you still had the same "moves"
Wyngard said: You are better off performing in German Moreno's "Walang Tulugan" Show, where new talents are discovered.
I say: It was amateurish, moves were still awkward, falsetto at the end falls short.
Toffer Rei - Harem Scarem - Something to Say
Ogie said: The singing was not very clean, but you did it with a lot of heart.
Jolina said: Too pitchy
Wyngard said: One of your worst performances. I expected more.
I say: Unique in the competition, but contemporarily copycat-ish.
Daryl Celis - Ne-yo - Because of You
Ogie said: It was out of tune all the way.
Jolina said: You have the X-factor, but the off-key notes "cover" your X-factor.
Wyngard said: "A" for effort in performance, but the singing hasn't improved.
I say: Good moves, but they affect the vocals, which were pretty weak.
Robby Navarro - Color Me Badd - Wildflower
Ogie said: You are the "Pinoy Idol" tonight.
Jolina said: Continue owning the stage, see you in the finals.
Wyngard said: Good singing, but the attitude was lacking
I say: Started out good, but too much off-key melisma ruined an otherwise good performance. Nice range, though.
Warren Antig - Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
I thought while watching the performance: He ripped off recently-crowned American Idol David Cook's cover of Chris Cornell's cover of Michael Jackson's original, so it's THIRD RATE AT BEST!!! I was quite enraged, but I know the performance will sell to the ones who don't watch American Idol. However, the judges' comments reminded the viewing public of the performance's "originality".
Jolina said: Good showcase of range, but lack of originality. I saw this in AI with David Cook.
Wyngard said: You're no David Cook.
Ogie said: What you did wasn't better than Cook's
I say: Poor Chris Cornell.
Ram Chavez - Rivermaya - Kung Ayaw Mo, Wag Mo
Ogie said: Underutilized attitude, but still good singing. Your least interesting performance.
Jolina said: You were in pitch.
Wyngard said: You're one of the good "Bamboo copies", but I'm still worried.
I thought: It was quite a Bamboo copycat, started out nasally,but ended quite originally.
Walton Zerrudo - Lionel Richie - Hello
Ogie said: I'm proud of you. Smooth vocals, effortless and heartfelt.
Jolina said: You are showing improvement.
Wyngard said: You should lessen your "sad" expression that you always wear.
I say: Nice R&B feel, it was on pitch, and the song's feelings shine through.
Kid Camaya - Peabo Bryson - Love Always Finds a Way
Ogie said: You are one of the best male vocalists, but you need to up the performance.
Jolina said: Performance was lacking, nerves show.
Wyngard said: A waste of a good voice. Seemed like an audition performance.
I say: It was on pitch, but forgettable. Not deserving of the pimp spot.
Judges' weak picks: Daryl (Ogie, Jolina), JJ (Jolina), Warren (Wyngard)
My weak picks: Kid, Warren and Daryl.
