Protégé Gala and Result Night - Sparks Fly

Samantha Felizco with her mentor Side A’s Joey Generoso bids their goodbye to the show last week (SHOOT!). Eight contenders left and they are ready to battle for the big break.

GALA NIGHT:

Mr. Joey De Leon is back and adding spice to the table is Ms. Eula Valdez as the guest judge for this week. The theme was Song to Impress (I thought it was songs from International Filipino Singers), and I’m ready to be impress by the contestant, or NOT (lol).

Protégé Performance Ranking:

8. So Wat – Faithfully (Journey)

Nice Blending, I didn’t like the song choice nor the performance is like watching Glee Cast practicing there’s no entertainment value. C+

7. Lirah Bermudez – Bring Me To Life (Evanescence)

This is Lirah Worst performance, the song doesn’t fit her and I feel awkward watching her singing this Evanescence track. B-

6. Kenneth Monico – Open Arms (Journey/Mariah Carey)

It was an okay performance and he’s doing the best that he could just to stay in this competition. B

5. Denise Barbacena – Sparks Fly (Taylor Swift)

I like Denise voice here, very relax and she was having fun. B

4. Lovely Embuscado – Pangarap na Bituin (Sharon Cuneta)

It was a good performance, the violinist obviously is nervous that’s why the music is kinda out of tune in the beginning, but Lovely didn’t mind that. B+

3. Jensen Teñoso – All in Love is Fair (Stevie Wonder)

Jensen delivered her performance so well, I like the fact that she not overdid it and she was stunning during her spot. A-

2. Krizza Nerri – If I Ain’t Got You (Alicia Keys)

I love the arrangement was awesome, the big band was a great idea and Krizza show how high her range, although there are some parts there that are off it was forgivable because her throat was not okay. A

1. Nomer Limatog Jr. – Baby, I Love Your Way (Big Mountain)

Nomer was amazing last night, he performs this song so well and the emotions coming from a 10 year old boy is unbelievable. A

THOUGHTS:

Eula Valdez was a very technical judge though sometimes she is a bit annoying, but I still prefer Ms. Cherie Gil. The performances was good and better than last week, the OBB is great (the best so far) and the Sky Flakes promo is still annoying.

Results Night:

The mentors perform Lean on Me/I’ll Stand By You. It was good but too much Jay-R.

The contenders were divided into two groups:

Group 1:

Jensen.Krizza.Lovely.Denise

Group 2:

Lirah.Nomer.So Wat.Kenneth

Group two was announced safe (seriously? So Wat?).

Lovely and Jensen is Safe.

Krizza is Safe.

Denise Barbacena was the third eliminated Protégé.

I’m kinda sad that Denise was voted out in the competition (although I’m expecting it), because Gloc9 was not there to support him, and I still can’t imagine why the staff of this show didn’t allow Miss Cookie Chua(Denise co-mentor) to be there with Denise (WTH).
