Wildcard Results
Everyone was in a party mood at the Philippine IDOL Theater in SM Megamall. The ten wildcard performers gave a lively opening number and passing on party hats to each other.
Between Onyx, Joseph and Ken the idol voters chose to vote for the guy from Baguio. Surprisingly, Ken had a dismal performance the previous night in the eyes of the judges. This was more than likely caused by his being gravely under the weather. His ‘show must go on’ attitude must have touched the hearts of the voters despite the stellar performances of Onyx’ “Wildflower” and Joseph’s grinding “Maria Maria” of Santana.
Stef’s emotional performance of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” was the Stef that Mamita was looking for and this connected well with the audience as they chose her over the classy performance of Ira Marasigan. Stef moves on to the finals while Ira moves on to different things to pursue her love for singing.
Ramirr and Gian have become close buddies these past few weeks as they share the same temperaments and are both the shy and quiet type. Even their experiences in their love life have similarities. But only one can go on to the finals and this time the chance goes to Gian.
Suey and Mau were up next. It was obvious that Mau was feeling the heat and her disappointment was apparent. She did not realize how different Philippine Idol is from other singing competitions where the voters’ decision was what made one a winner. She did not doubt her own talent at singing but what was making it hard for her was the thought that being a good singer was not enough. We all know of her bitter experiences when she was younger about her dark looks but she has grown used to that and is confident about herself. In fact, her motto is “black is beautiful.” So she was just preparing herself for the worst when it was only her and Suey left onstage and she commented that Philippine Idol is a singing competition and not a beauty contest. Suey ended up comforting a teary Mau who really had no cause for disappointment because it was she who was moving on to the finals and not Suey. Only goes to show that Philippine Idol is not predictable and one should always expect the unexpected.
Next week, Philippine Idol goes back to some memorable moments during the first round of auditions. Remember Jeffrey Santos and our green haired Anime girl? Idol fans get to see the highlights of these one of a kind performances once again.
