Again, Michelle was nominated for expulsion next week. This is her fourth time, putting her in Kristoff's shoes last week. If she would be in the lowest four next performance night, we have to say goodbye to the "Globie" from Amsterdam. This was according to the the 5-probation rule.
Yvan, Irish, and Iya were likewise nominated. The Jury of Three the other night was comprised of Noel Trinidad, Eugene Villaluz, and Kuh Ledesma.
I can't help but make a post regarding Chad being the Star Scholar for this Week. He got an average score of 9.3 from the jurors.
Early last week, when I heard that he's gonna sing Freddie Aguilar's "Anak", I was quite pessimistic for Chad. It is hard to sing a classic like "Anak." When you sing such songs, you should either make a perfect copy of the original version or opt to gamble with a version of your own. Either way, pwede kang lamunin ng kanta. A song like "Anak" has a life of its own. Really.
The main problem with singing these type of songs is that you will always be compared with the original singer. Kung hindi mo nagaya iyong song perfectly just as the first interpreter did, magmumukha ka lang parang nagbi-videoke. Kung hindi naman maganda ang version mo, sasabihin nilang sinira mo lang ang kanta.
What Chad did was exceptional! A new flavor to a classic song. Just like what Eugene Villaluz said, "He made the song as if his own." Di siya nalamon ng kanta. He really deserves being a Star Scholar this week.
P.S. And thank God! Finally, Chad listen to Direk Jose Reyes. Nasabi kasi dati ni Direk na ang gwapo-gwapo ng mukha ni Chad pero pinapapangit niya during his performances. Ini-exaggerate niya kasi facial expressions niya. This time he finally tapped one of his greater assets - his face.
