Mr. Salonga’s back! Woohoo! Talk about constructive criticism!
I could imagine hearing Miguel and Liezel’s collaboration on the radio. Problem is, these songs for a contest? Hmmm. It wasn’t that great, just average, but still, both have exceptional vocals. I also thought the performance was a smooth sail, something I’d probably look forward to when I sit, relax and soak up the atmosphere in a bar. What I am 100% sure of is that this counterpoint could never be stellar, let alone be a show stealer regardless who sang it.

The Poy-Zhel showdown. I didn’t get it. There wasn’t even a comment from the jury.

MIGUEL is in the BOTTOM 4 (huh?). Mentors chose Hansen to stay. Who will Zhel save then? Partner Miguel or bestfriend Cris? For those who look forward to this drama, watch Monday (or check forums for spoilers).
Well-deserved Laarni bagged Star Scholar throne and will be performing on ASAP 08 next week. Nice!
I’ve had enough of duet nights and song spoonfeeding. Please let the scholars choose their piece!
WATCH THE VIDEOS AND COMMENT AFTER THE JUMP.

“I’ve had enough of duet nights and song spoonfeeding. Please let the scholars choose their piece!”
i totally agree. at this point that the competition intensifies, the scholars should select their own performance piece. i dont think they give liezel the songs that will challenge her and bring out the best in her. puro safe yung kantang pinapakanta sa kanya. and im not surprised na hindi sya nagta-top ngayon sa recent gala nights.
I simply like this counterpoint.. simple yet it captures my soul haha… it’s a chillout music, not much of a competition piece though…GO ZHEL!!!
Ano ba yan hindi talaga nashoshowcase ang galing ni liezel dito… w8 ano na ba kakantahin nya next Used to Be? May nabasa po ako sa forum na Tell me ano po iyon? Haaizz… naku… pano aasenso si liezel kung puro pang-uncompetition ang binibigay sa kanya… but i agree na maganda ito just not right for the occassion
sana nman po bigyan c lizzie ng mgandang song un tlagang alam n pang laban ung song .pra nman mkita ung gling nya tlaga !!!!!!!go go go lizzie!!!!
kung hindi competition ito, panalo ang counterpoint nila… kumbaga sa album mdame bibili…pero di xa competition piece e.. hehehe… pero kahit anu pa yan!!! LIEZEL ROCKS MY WORLD!
napansin ko lang… parang namali ng pronounce si zhel d2.. ung “last” nsabi nya “lust” ….pero wat the heck? ang ganda ng counterpoint.. easy chillout na pde pakinggan sa ipod ko ahahah
