ALLAN THE MAN

Finally! Jessica Sanchez received again a standing ovation from the Idol judges with her rendition of Jennifer Holliday song, "And I Am Telling You" on American Idol Top 4 Show. A great song choice for Jessica!

Her second song is "Steal Away' by Etta James. She didn't received a standing ovation for this one but judges think that she nailed it and obviously she has ridiculous vocals.
I think Jessica will be safe for tomorrow elimination. Although 'wag tayong magpakasiguro. Vote For Her HERE. For me, It's either Hollie Cavanagh or Phillip Phillips are to be voted off tomorrow. You Agree?

Jessica Sanchez - Proud Mary

Filipina-Mexican-American Jessica Sanchez sang “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker and “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner on the American Idol 11 Top 5 Performance Show. 

I prefer Jessica's "Proud Mary" performance than her "You Are So Beautiful" rendition. Because on that performance she shows that she is not just a singer...that she can groove 'cause she is a total performer. #kudos! 

And I totally agree when Jennifer Lopez said to her that she's a little bit of Tina and a little bit of Beyonce.

Just a few days ago, another edition of Pinoy Big Brother Teen has been started. They presented a new batch of teen housemates who will live for a couple of months in the most-popular house in the country. So, without further ado, Here's an interesting story of a teacher and her 'PBB hopeful' students 

By Jocy L. So-Yeung

HAS there been an epidemic? One day, all of the sudden, nearly a dozen students from the third year batch were absent. What happened?

The classmates grinned in response. "Nag-audition for PBB Ma'am." PBB of course is Pinoy Big Brother, the monster reality TV hit that places ordinary people in one residence, forces them to undergo unrealistic stunts, and allows the whole Philippines to watch their every move. I don't follow PBB but I know many who hound each episode like a starving dog chasing a bone.

And based on their stories, I was apprehensive upon knowing plenty of my students wanted to be in the show. A former student had already appeared on the show once, and she ended up being betrayed by a friend and looking mean and petty on TV. She was voted off, leaving the PBB house in an air of unpopularity.

Rabid watchers also tell me that the show's God-like kuya make housemates do uncomfortable things, from dancing with not a stitch of clothing on except a fan to downing liquor until they're drunk, just to stir up controversies and improve ratings.

Filipino -Mexican Jessica Sanchez nailed it again. She received another standing ovation from the judges of American Idol with her rendition of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You.

The New Studio.

Hindi naman masasabing bagong-bago ang studio ng It's Showtime dahil hawig lang rin ito sa dati nilang studio noong talent show pa lang sila. Pinalaki at Pinaganda lang ang itsura ng stage. Pero, enough na ba ang mga changes na yun? my answer will be a BIG NO. Ang dilim ng effects ng lights ng studio nila hindi bagay para sa isang Noontime Show.

Games & Segments.

Maganda yung game hosted by Kuya Kim na Rock Clock. Ok rin yung Arte Mo! kaso nagugulo lang kapag nagsasalita na yung mga choices. Samantala, yung ibang games/segments like Sine Mo 'To, Singing V, Pitik Bulag are all lame. Oo, kwela ang Sine Mo 'to pero ang gulo at dahil sa walang kaayusan...e, nakaka-tempt maglipat ng channel. Yung Singing V naman, bago lang ang pangalan pero the concept? i don't think so. While the Pitik Bulag naman ay corny at OA. With all these games I could say that "It's Showtime" is far far far behind 'Eat Bulaga'.

Talent Show.
Ni-retain ng show ang talent segment which is good dahil nabibigyan ng chance na magpapasikat ang mga contestants na mula sa iba't ibang lugar sa bansa. Pero naging magulo na ang segment na ito dahil naka-split screen. Pinapakita na rin yung mga nagpe-perform sa kanilang mga lugar/barangay at yung mga nagsasayaw sa Studio  Hindi ko tuloy alam kung saan ako titingin. Ang sakit sa ulo. Ang Gulo! Sana yung nasa Studio na lang ang ipakita.
