Despite a hell week of non-stop piyoks and hoarseness, WE HAVE OURSELVES A STAR SCHOLAR! Haha.

Liezel regained Star Scholar regime as she Beyonce-d her way up to the top with massive personality and elegance. Her “Listen” performance, a piece Zhel wouldn’t even have dared singing, was the top showstopper of the evening. She proved to us that Beyonce’s songs are not just about the high pitch, birit notes and curves. It’s also about putting soul into it. I must admit that there were a couple of rough spots towards the end due to her condition but it was how she made up for them that was praiseworthy. Notice her last note, she surely felt that she was about to end it flat, so she cut it short. Talk about musical technique.

Judge Louie: “Alam mo Liezel. Hindi lang napakaganda ng boses mo at pagkakanta mo. Para ka pang beauty queen ngayon, ang ganda-ganda mo ngayong gabi. I think this is the performance of the night.”

Indeed, Mr. Ocampo. Indeed.

Again, I reiterate. Liezel’s voice is, by a mile, more captivating live than on TV. Watch the next gala live, and see for yourself.

I would also like to endorse LAARNI LOSALA. She deserves safety this week. Please vote for her.
