The 16 finalists of Pinoy Dream Academy
Last night, during the "Dream Night" of Pinoy Dream Academy at Cebu Capitol Grounds, they announced the remaining 16 scholars who will enter the academy. Here they are (click their names for their profiles and photos):
- RJ Jimenez, Pasig
- Yeng Constantino, Rizal
- Gemma Fitzgerald, Australia
- Yvan Lambatan, Baguio
- Kristoff Abrenica, Canada
- Ronnie Liang, Pampanga
- Irish Fullerton, USA
- Michelle Bond, Amsterdam
- Iya Gines, Pangasinan
- Jun Hirano, Japan
- Rosita Bareng, Dubai
- Panky Trinidad, Cebu
- Eman Abatayo, Iloilo
- Chai Fonacier, Cagayan de Oro
- Geoff Taylor, Cagayan Valley
- Jay-R Siaboc, Cebu
- It's really unfortunate that it rained in Cebu last night. But, just like what an old adage says, "When it rains, it pours." The talents poured last night? Yes, probably. However, the jitters of the contestants really came out. Mistakes poured. But, it should not be taken against them. They're there to learn. Let's just expect their progress in the days to come.
- We have an unusual and interesting mix and match of finalists here. I was thinking that as the judges chose the 16 finalists, the talents were NOT of major bearing as they were auditioning thousands of Filipinos. Of course, it's a given that when you entered the top30, you are really talented. But as they picked the final 16, they could've considered maximizing viewership by "tweaking" some of the personalities inside the Academy. They might have thought of representing groups and communities here and abroad. Think of OFW Rosita Bareng and the Fil-Ams. Think of the contestants from Cagayan Valley to Cagayan de Oro. Think of Panky. I was guessing (but you can comment if I'm wrong) that when they chose the top 30, the next step was to bring their scores to zero, and pick the top 16 according to their personalities and "predicted appeal" to the viewers. There could be more musically superior individuals among those eliminated, but the images that they projected did not and will not stand out to those who qualifed. Oh well, this is a 4-month-long reality show, more than a talent search, so they really have to invest more on personalities to spice it up amd make it worth watching.
- It's disappointing taht nobody from the "Musicthematics" section was qualified. Of all the sections, their performance is the most enjoyable and I must say that they performed like professionals unlike the other sections. Though I'm not really a big fan of Bossa Nova and Easy Listening but I love their unusual but fresh renditions of Eraserheads' classics. I was rooting for Minggay.
- Nikki looked more stunning than Toni Gonzaga. The moment they entered the stage, the difference was noticeable. Nikki looked elegant with the bronzy make-up compared to the plain looks of Toni.
- As I predicted, the Cebuanos will rule the Regional contestants. Go Panky and Jay-R!
- And oh, I haven't heard the song "Baleleng" for a long time. Handrew sang it well.
There . Post now.
tnx for linking my site.. appreciated it... posted din pala yung mga pics nung 16 scholars sa blog...
We here at the Chicken Mafia once saw RJ Jimenez perform live a year ago. And he was horrible, heh.
I wonder if he has improved. Too bad I missed the show.
feeling ko yung taga bukidnonparang fixed na sya malalagay sa rebel 4. eh kasi nung performance night sobrang PR nya sa puti na magbibigay ng diploma.. nakakabwisit kahit pa sweet sya, parang empakta ugali attention grabber
yeng constantino deserves to be the winner coz she's so talented.

paopao, if you knew oona personally, you won't be able to say those things about her. she's a natural with people. i hope you saw the clips showing her comforting the others who did not make it to the top 16. she got in because she has talent. just you wait, she'll show you.
ANG PANGIT NAMAN NG TIMESLOT NG PDA! EH DPAT SNA EARLIER P NO?! KAKAINIS! CHANGE NYO NGA YAN ABS! SAYANG TALENTED P NAMAN YANG MGA YAN! HAY... PTI 2LOY AKO RITO NVER PNG NKAPANOOD NG KHIT 1 EPISODE MAN LG!
PAOPAO, obviously wala kang qualities na meron si Oona kaya comment mo, comment ng inggit at ng pangit ng ugali, oil and water don't mix. ikaw kasi pangit at malupit, kaya hinding-hindi mo makikita ang kabutihan niya. By the way, I'm her older brother which means if you were within an arm's length, i'd have knocked out all your teeth by now...that is if you still have teeth ;-)

si geoff dapat ang nag-stay kung pagbabasehan ang performance that night, kaya lang unfortunately personalan ang pinagbasehan ng mga scholars.

I like yeng the way she perform,and Irish she is a nice person.
to all pinoy dream faggots,
RJ is a FAG, you dont know how to play.....MICHELLE is a SLUT , while TRISH is a second rate POKPOK....
PANKY---have a sex transplant na lang, you pig!
you all suck! who is this new CHAD, he might be the winner...afterall, everything that revolves around this reality stupidy is well-cooked....its just a matter of time until the public finds out...
Juts like WOWOWEE!, their games are all staged...PASALOG has magnets inside and each episode they have different sets of dices to determine the outcome....
ROSITA,
please clean my toilet now....and later clean my shoes..okay...you dont deserve to be there, you have become the laughing stock of the show...ABS CBN is full of crap, thats why they have hit this low...
Hello to all the Teachers of PDA,
Lots of my friends, neighbours doesnt like the performance particularly recent one of Rosita Bareng she is acting like she is the best one in singing we are watching daily till uplate show but, as we have observed the attitude or the character of Rosita bareng is really haughty the way she talked, hardheaded amongs other PDA she dont deserve to win or to be saved just because she is an OFW bayani! pambato or palaban in a way to act based on what she has experienced, we are OFW but we dislikes her she should be humble from the beginning but she is not at all mostly of TFC viewers are mad whe she has been rescued by the teacher's even she'll beg on the TFC she would have act inside the PDA according to her personality.
This is just an opinion.
Thank you.

kung ako lang ang hate ko talaga is yeng kasi PANGIT ang ugali magaling sana sya. kaya kung pwede pagsabihan sana sya. minsan kasi di nya muna iniisip ang mga ginagawa at sinasabi nya.at sya nga pala syado syang maarte di nya bagay noh daaahhhh!
Hoy Rosita kapal mo trying hard kumios ka kong saan ka nararapat hwag kang mayabang di bagay sayo tingnan mong mabuti ang sairli mo at ma realize mo ang totoo wala ka namang talent naturingang OCW ka pero nakakahiya ang boses mo malaki lang pero para kang nag wawala pag kumanta wala sa ayos pero pining magaling mataas boses mo hoy umalis kana dyan
I think rosita is a unique person which can be a big stardom in the future. Her personality and her powerful voice can make her a difference of them all.
HI jay r ang cute mu at magaling ka sana ikaw ang makadaog para naa na sad sikat na cebuano.Para nako ikaw ang number one i am proud of you as the best of the academy
hay grabe ang gwapo talaga ni ronnie!!! la akong ma-say eh!!!
