Protégé Face Off - Part 1

The Face-Off round has started and this week the three mentors (Janno Gibbs , Jay-R and Rachelle Anne Go) show their set of Protégé to sing for their lives and out-sang everyone else just to impress the Panel of Judges.
The Judges is compose of Direk Bert De Leon (Eat Bulaga), Mr. Joey De Leon (TV and Movie Icon) and Guest Judge Mr .Homer Flores (Musical Director).
The show felt like I'm watching American Idol meets X-Factor meet The Voice.

Here's how i rank their Performance :

TEAM Rachelle - The Blasians
9. THE BLASIANS - Lady Marmalade
Disappointed. I thought this girls will be on the live gala night but this performance was a disaster. An awful Blending and Choreography. They are good individually but not as a group. SORRY!

TEAM Janno - Alejandro
8. ALEJANDRO- Broken Vow
Aljoe and Janbeth was good during the audition, but as a duo IDK, is it just me or the performance was not a contest material or it will work if there is a full band or an Orchestra. In short it was boring.

TEAM Rachelle - Regina
7. Rhey 'Regina' Otic - What Kind of Fool Am I?
He/She can sing. The only problem is she/he over-sing some parts at the end. Regina is annoyingly good.

TEAM JayR - Allen Sta. Maria
6. Allen Sta. Maria - Ikaw
Well, Allen did a pretty good job in this song (but i hope she chose another). There is some pitch problem but overall it was a decent performance.

TEAM Rachelle - Nomer

5. Nomer Limatog - Don't Stop Believing
A  cute little boy singing a Journey song. Awesome. He can really sing but I'm not yet convinced because he should study first and i don't think he can handle the pressure when the real competition begins.

TEAM Janno - Ricky
4. Ricky Deloviar  - Straight From The Heart
Well Done. He has a great deep voice and he rocked it out. But i agree with the judges (with the genre that he's taking) that he will be a Jovit 2.0.

TEAM Jay-R - Cercado Sisters
3. Cercado Sisters - Burlesque Song
This sisters were beyond good. They show how talented they are individually and as a group. They should go to Las Vegas and have a couple of show there.
TEAM Janno - Lirah
2. Lirah Bermudez - I Will Survive/Hush Hush
This girl has a lot of soul. She really amazing, the arrangement was pretty cool and you can feel that she is born to do this. Hands Down. I need a Studio Version.

TEAM JayR - Kenneth
1. Kenneth Monico - On Bended Knees
Save The Best For Last. The Vocal Acrobatics in his performance was Insane knowing that he is sick. You Already.



At The end of the show only 3 contenders will advance.
Team Rachelle - Nomer
Team Jay-R - Kenneth
Team Janno - Lirah


Overall the episode was good but I'm hoping for more. I'm happy with the choices except for Nomer, only because of his age (LOL). I'm expecting more great talents next week and hoping for a good show. I hope that when gala night started they will use a full band or an Orchestra.


Watch Protege at GMA7 every Sundays, 8:30PM

  1. i kinda agree with your comment with the blasians' performance.. but the main problem was they we're provided with the wrong audio material during the face off round..in fact they we're shocked and was hesitant to sing along with the minus one.. but it's too late to back off..further more, their mentor was not able to exert much effort compared with the other mentors..perhaps she's busy with her other commitments..another big problem was the edited CD was given hours before the face off round.. it was handed to them around 9 AM that day and they're expected to perform at 4PM on the same day.. oh well, there's nothing we can do about it.. the damage has been done.. thanks for posting this.. perhaps they're better off as individual performers and not as a group.
