PDA Dream Girls

The Talent Center has just launched a new girl group (Pussycat Dolls-like) who used to be contestants of Pinoy Dream Academy but didn't make it to the Top 20 (of course except Gemma) - the Pinoy Dream Academy Dream Girls. We first saw them performed tonight in the 6th Expulsion Night of the Academy. The group is comprised of:
  • Its Saludo
  • Gemma Fritzgerald
  • Michelle Murenec
  • Jonah Maluto
  • Czar Rosales
  • Wendy Valdez


They're good. Their song is radio-friendly; their performance, sexy and sultry. And I know their "new and bold packaging" will click. Another group of talents to watch out for. I just hope that they will not be mere "second-rate copycats" of PCD.

P.S.
  1. Prediction: Some of them, if not all, will be listed in the FHM's 100 Sexiest Women next year.
  2. At nakita niyo ba yung mga panga ng scholars. Laglag di ba? Iniisip siguro nila "mauuna pa silang sisikat kaysa sa amin." Sana pinatapos muna nila iyong season para delicadeza na rin sa mga nasa loob. Kung sa bagay, wala pa namang album. What can you say?

Kristoff, Automatically Expelled

Kristoff, the scholar from Canada, was automatically expelled after being nominated for expulsion for the 5th time tonight. This was the new rule in The Academy.

Unfortunately tonight, his performance of his original composition got one of the four lowest scores. But, I must say, it was his best performance inside the Academy.

Good luck to you man. Good soul - that's how I will remember you.

P.S. Oh, I must say this, he really lost some weight. Look at his picture here taken before they enter PDA. Thanx to Teacher Gege; now, he's a hunk!

Wake-up Call

pinoy dream academy globalI'm just wondering.. Hindi ba sa Pinoy Big Brother dati may wake-up call pa.. Minsan alarm clock lang. Minsan songs. Once nga, boses pa ni Madam Auring. Bakit wala na ngayon sa Pinoy Dream Academy?

Anyway, ang masasabi ko lang, the once who got up late don't have the right to blame it to somebody else - this time, to Iya? Hindi na sila bata na gigisingin pa. They're old enough to look after themselves. They should not rely those things to someone else.

They woke up late. So, face the consequences. Hindi iyong nagsisigaw pa sila. Grow up, guys.

PDA picturesOh by the way, the story was like this. Irish, Mich, Panky, Rosita, Chai and Joan were late for the fitness class after they woke up late. They blamed it to Iya. Apparently, during the past weeks, Iya was the one waking them up for she would be up early to cook their breakfast. So, as a punishment, Teacher Gege ordered them to clean up their bathrooms. Iya eventually realized it so she apologized to the girls except Rosita. They questioned Iya's apology; Irish even saying it's fake.

  • Kristoff, nominated for the 4th time
  • Michelle, her 3rd time to be nominated
  • Chad, the new president's 1st
Vote now!

Mamimiss ka namin, RJ

This could be the most unexpected scenario that has happened to the Academy as of this writing - RJ being the 5th to be booted out. We must admit that vocals-wise RJ would not par to his scholar-mates. But, hey, the man has talent - a peculiar voice, a unique style, and composing skills.

The voters surely went wrong with this one.

We will "miss" you, RJ.
