MAY MGA UNOFFICIAL TALLIES NA MAG-CICIRCULATE SA MGA FORUMS AT KUNG SAAN MAN. THEY COULD BE TRUE, BUT LET’S NOT BE COMPLACENT. ISIPIN NATING KULELAT SI LIEZEL.

KULELAT! PANG-ANIM SIYA SA ANIM! NASA IBABA! SO LET’S VOTE!

One thing though, the whole performance was a bit too long for me. One too many solo parts, I thought.

Listen to Liezel Garcia and Joey G – Tell Me

Dulce: “Liezel. You know, mas maganda ang performance mo na ang kasabay mo ay isang professional artist. Hindi ka na yung parang natatakot. And ang sarap pakinggan. Meron lang kailangan mong bantayan, lalo na siguro when you come in cold nung part na hindi ikaw ang kumakanta, pagpasok mo nag sharp. Iingatan mo yon. But as a whole ang ganda-ganda ng performance mo. At napakaganda mo at ang ganda ng boses mo.”

Liezel ranked 4th tonight. I ain’t surprised. Next week, SCHOLARS GET TO CHOOSE THEIR SONGS. FINALLY.

Cris Pastor looked gorgeous as always. =)

Bugoy Bogayan topped the class with Gary V’s “Muli.” Poy Palma’s out, ended her journey strong with Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer.” Probies Van Pojas and Hansen Nichols will battle it out on Saturday for a Top 6 spot.

Tell Me With Joey G

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.

Listen to Liezel Garcia and Miguel Mendoza – Stay Awake / Sometimes A Love Goes Wrong

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

Listen to Liezel Garcia and Poy Palma – Got To Be Real

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!

Liezel and Piolo’s Paano Kita Iibigin

Listen to Liezel Garcia – Best Of My Love

Judge Louie: “Hi Liezel. Okay, very safe song. You did it well although I was a bit disturbed with the, I don’t know, baka siguro, if I were in your shoe, I would’ve sang it in a lower key, just a slight, a step lower lang because parang I felt that you were straining for the first time, I felt that you were straining. I wasn’t sure about the ending. It was still a good performance. A word of warning, the others are catching up, so you have to work.”

Van Pojas and Chris Pastor were the best, by a mile. At least for me.

The Puerto Galera scholar delivered it so-so as she dropped to number 5 this week.

Nevertheless, it’s still worth a listen.

ok, ive been getting a lot of PMs and casual conversations regarding the liezel-laarni matter. i’m not a big fan of the primetime/uberture episodes because of such drama, the very reason kaya’t hindi ko alam ang mga nangyayari. i don’t watch pbb. pero sige, i’ll give you my 2 cents since some have been questioning my defending laarni and being a webmaster of liezel garcia online website at the same time.

“Whether you are doing something good or bad, you’re pissing someone off.” – David Cook

yang mga issues na yan, kahit kanino mangyayari yan, lalo na’t public material na ang mga scholars ngayon, taking into account na may public voting na involved. hindi nabubuhay ang ratings pag wala nyan, controversy keeps a reality show runnin’. i’m pretty sure every reality show ceo would be more than happy to welcome such noise with open arms.

sa mga nagccriticize intelligently, let them, karapatan nila yan, even us have the right to do so. sa mga naninira, well, blame it to their upbringing. ganyan sila pinalaki. aren’t we just lucky? hehe. bottom line, support lang natin ang mga scholars because of their gift and their talent, and let’s not hate them for having such emo fans. i’m not just pertaining to PDA, but also to other reality shows and contests wherein may kanya-kanyang manok ang mga tao. believe me, i even encountered far more worse fanatics tuwing american idol season.

if you’re the type of person na naooffend sa mga malicious and negative forum posts and comments, why bother reading it? a forum is a place where anyone could be anonymous, let alone, be someone else. dun sa mga nagdedefend ng kani-kanilang bets, that’s natural, minsan OA, pero it’s human nature.

pero to those na nagkakalat ng false statements, even those who intentionally tweak the story to make someone else look bad, ingatan lang ang anonymity. such claims are punishable by law dito sa Pinas, in case you don’t know. seriously, may iba talaga na they find joy sa paninira at pakikisawsaw sa away. we shouldn’t hate them, rather, understand na in the real world, they’re just a bunch of lonely nobodies.

LIEZEL and LAARNI are my bets who deserve finale spots. LIEZEL gets my vote.

OT. SUPPORTAHAN NATIN ANG BARANGAY! WE GOT GAME 1!

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.

Listen to Liezel Garcia – Listen

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.

Beyonce’s Listen
[ thanks to NIGHTHAWK23 for the video ]

I’d appreciate any comments. Strictly no profanity. Keep the positive vibe please.

LISTEN TO BOTH SONGS AND COMMENT AFTER THE JUMP.

Listen to Liezel’s “Hiding My Feelings”

Listen to Liezel’s “Letting Go”

Liezel, Bunny and Cris did the Spice Girls proud! Strutting their stuff on stage, the girls gave us an outstanding rendition of late 90’s hit song, Stop. LIEZEL LOOKED EXQUISITE! Good thing they worked the stage a little with cute dancing and walking. Judge Louie was impressed. “Finally we’re having fun. I’m giving you a 10!,” he commented.

Listen to Liezel, Bunny and Cris – Stop

I didn’t like the idea that they had to perform twice in a row. From fast song to acapella? Nakakahingal. LOL.

Anyway, the trio pulled off another girl band hit, Tide Is High. There’s something with this song (not the performance) that makes me not like it. The blending was beautifully executed as they made the most out of the song. Another lovely number!

Listen to Liezel, Bunny and Cris – Tide Is High

Judge Louie: “You know, to do an acapella number is one of the most difficult things. And I must congratulate you for doing a good job, though, syempre hindi kasing ganda ng isa, pero maganda pa rin. Nag enjoy ako, so I gave you an 8.7.”

No probationary scholars this week. But on Saturday, the Acadreamers will have to go up against each other. Lower score = Probation. Again, I hate this idea.

Liezel Garcia (Listen by Beyonce) vs Laarni Losala (Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin by April Boy)
Van Pojas (Through The Fire by Chaka Khan) vs Hansen Nichols (Bailamos by Enrique Iglesias)
Chris Pastor (It’s Raining Men by Geri Haliwell) vs Bunny Malunda
Bugoy Bogayan vs Apple Abarquez
Miguel Mendoza vs Inaki Ting

Goodluck!
