Yeng's Ang Awitin


I'll set the record straight. I don't like Yeng. There are couple of things to hate about her. (OA sa camera, pa-cute, masyadong pa-baby). Pero, she composes good songs. Hawak-Kamay is sooo good.

But, this song? This Ang Awitin? This song, Ang Awitin? (Yeah, it's redundant.) Ok, it's good. It got 53% of the votes. But, if you're gonna compare it with the other songs, it's less superior. Panky should've won. It's tastefully done. So, as Chad's. Mas maganda pa nga iyong kay Rosita.

Pero, siyempre, just like what I said before, that's how election in the Philippines goes. Popularity is the word! Guys, be objective enough when voting.

But, don't get me wrong. Yeng is a true musician. She is the epitome of the millions of hopefuls out there. Her popularity or "masa appeal" is a plus.

Kaya nga alam na natin kung sinong mananalo. I'll bet 100 pesos.

Eman Expelled

pinoy dream academy siteTonight, Eman, the Ilonggo scholar, got the lowest texter's percentage vote of 21%, against Panky, Ronnie and Irish.

The guy, rock-wise, is very good. But as the competition progressed, one would notice that he's doing the same thing. Same moves. Same raspy voice. Same genre of music. No versatility. Would capture only a small portion of the audience. To make the prognosis worse for him, he can never compete with Irish and Ronnie in the looks department, which obviously was a plus for the latter two and that was shown in the expulsion night tonight.

But, Eman, I must say, is funny. Good Luck, Eman.

Self-Pity?

pinoy dream academy websiteWhat do you think guys? Napanood niyo naman siguro kanina iyong usapan nila Sir Jim, Yeng and Rosita. Nag-away sila Rosita and Yeng dahil sa isang kanta. Nagsasapawan nga ba? Or self-pity lang kaya lumaki ang issue? Post your comments.

12th Nomination

For the first no one got a score below 80. This just shows that the scholars of Pinoy Dream Academy are getting better and more competitive.

To make things more exciting, we have 3 past Star Scholars for next Saturday's expulsion night - Eman, Ronnie, and Panky, who was nominated for the first time. Irish completes the list.

Yeng's I Will Survive

Just like Hajji Alejandro commented, "I Will Survive" was sang so many times in so many ways. Yeng's version was really good. Thanks to the arrangement by Mark Lopez. The song made her the Star Scholar of the week. Here it is. Enjoy, guys.

Davey; Oust by the People


Remember when Erap was ousted by the help of a throng of texters in 2001?
Although a loose analogy, this also happened to Davey. He got the lowest votes from the people against Yeng, Ronnie and Rosita who undoubtedly have bigger fan bases. This is the first expulsion night wherein the public was given the sole reponsibility to save who they think deserves to stay in the Pinoy Dream Academy.

Last night, Davey sang an original composition "Spending My Life With You" requested by his girlfriend, Angie. I like the song. It's radio-friendly. And the man can really sing!
Good luck Davey.
