Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 Last Expulsion Night  

0 comments

I wasn't able to catch the entirety of the Little Dreamers' Back-to-School performances. But as an update, Little Dreamers Shane, who sang It Can Only Get Better by Charice, and Jerome, who sang Stand Up for Love by Destiny's Child, are coming back to the Academy to compete.

On to the Scholars' last expulsion night.

Theme: Scholar's Choice

Opening: You Can't Stop The Beat from Hairspray

One of the girls seemed to be out of sync at one point. Otherwise, an okay performance. They really need to practice on group dynamics.

Surprise: No more grades will be given.

Jurors: Louie Ocampo, Girlie Rodis

Sen - His Eye on the Sparrow (Lauryn Hill)

Nice voice control, probably his most heartfelt performance ever. Too bad not too many people know the song.

Louie - One of the most emotional songs you did. The message came through. You were very sincere.

Van - Who Am I (Casting Crowns)

Very honest performance. He even seemed humble.

Girlie - You have gone through many things. Your performance was good, it did not reflect the heaviness of your heart.

Laarni - I Am Blessed (Eternal)

It lacks the sparkle of a very good performance. Is she too serious about the song? The diction problem is prominent in this performance.

Louie - The performance is beautiful, except for the part where it changes key. You are a pro tonight. I think you're in the top 3, no doubt.

Miguel - Sandra (Barry Manilow)

He was his usual serious self, but this performance is heartfelt.

Girlie - It's a hard song to sing. Work on your "storytelling".

Liezel - Goodbye's (The Saddest Word) (Celine Dion)

Same old good vocal performance with a lack of stage presence. I'm really bothered by the "th" sounding like a "d".

Louie - I really liked your runs. You are best when you don't shout. You have the presence. You have to "be there".

Cris - Inseparable (Natalie Cole)

No, not the "th"-"d" again! The camera contact she makes is good, though. She controlled the high notes really well.

Girlie - You have really improved a lot. You have a good vocal quality now. Continue in that path and I'm sure you'll go places.

Bugoy - Can't Stop a River (Guy Sebastian)

His eyes still look the same, kinda lacking emotion. His low notes seem rumbly. But the rest of the song is okay. Is Guy Sebastian his biggest influence? I think so. His audition piece was "Angels Brought Me Here".

Louie - No doubt, you really sing good. You've got to find that tool to charm the audience.

Special Number: Launch of "Scholars Sing Cayabyab" album
