SSDD

Some of the Pilipinas Got Talent 2010 finalists were at Wowowee yesterday.

Of course, they were asked to show their talents.

Have you noticed?

Almost all of them had new things. Ala Kim had a new magic set. Ruther did an impromptu, Ezra band sang another song. I am not sure of the Velasco Brothers which is fine because the routine is still cool. And of course, Markki! I never really like him as in cute-like-him... but oh, his Zombie version is really, really cool! I can forgive him for some off-keys, but, at least he is not mimicking someone else. Well, with this statement you have a hint of the next thing I am going to say.

Jovit. (You're good, but someone else is better.)

He was still with his "Faithfully" version. Of course, people loved him for that (except me). I talked about Jovit way before on my post here. But, I guess it would have been a real show-off if he did something else. It's about time, isn't it.

Then, the show last night: You Got It! It was just another mimicking, but last night, it was Bon Jovi's turn.

Indulge me for the rant....

I just think that what we might get out of Jovit is SSDD... same sh*t, different day... unless, he comes up with his own "Pyramid" soon.

Pilipinas Got Entertainment

It is not like I have been religiously following the show "Pilipinas Got Talent 2010." But I think I wrote about it maybe twice already, meaning that it really caught my attention. You can see those entries here.

I wasn't able to watch the Saturday presentation either, because we were at a friend's house for a despedida dinner. The TV was tuned in and some of my friends sat and watch the finalists. On Sunday, I was half-watching, half-writing my blog when it started.

Well. I kinda lost interest because it was too commercialized for me. One of my questions is why do they have to perform and over again and to announce the winners in a different day. Well, of course, they were set to show their talents together with talents of ABS-CBN.

Anyway, of course Jovit won. Who wasn't expecting him not to. Maybe only I.

You know what my comment was when they announced the Final 3?

"Ah ok... so again, the bottomline is ENTERTAINMENT."

I guess that's why Jovit is now being called ABS-CBN's newest blah blah... (sorry, I couldn't remember... or is it that my brain didn't want to?)

I couldn't help but compare it with TV 5's Talentadong Pinoy, which I didn't watch, too, all throughout, but heard that the guy who is very good at YO-YO won.

My choices were, of course, Alakim and the girl who could play the piano, violin and 16 other instruments. Ms. Kris Aquino was right when she told her somewhere in the semi-finals(?) that the reason why they chose her is that very few young ones nowadays are inclined to things like this and that she will serve as an inspiration to the youth out there and that if only the government (DepEd) should give more attention to this sector). I admired Kris for that statement, by the way.

These might not be the choices of many (it's obvious, what am I saying?!).

But this is definitely the talent that deserves the limelight. If they will be developed and enhanced through the help of ABS-CBN, the Filipinos will shine more than ever.

Why?

Because we have had talents like Ms. Lea Salonga, Arnel Pineda (step aside now, for Jovit is here... and I don't like you, really), and of course, Charice Pemepengco, and a lot others that made us Filipinos proud and well-known all over the world.

Then, there's Manny Pacquiao in the field of boxing, the Filipinos Rugby team who just won the Asian Championship, and a lot more.

This would have been another chance for us to be known in another fields. A chance to show that Filipinos do not only sing.

It would have been so nice to say five or six years from now, that Ala Kim is the first Filipino magician known worldwide, than hear a month or two from now, that Arnel Pineda was out of the band Journey, and Jovit is what, the host of Wowowee or is shooting a teleserye with Sarah Geronimo.

I believe that the Filipinos are far better than that.

The Road to Jovit's 'Pyramid'

Jovit.

I know many of you will not like what I will say, but that's okay.

Yes, he was amazing; I got goosebumps when I first heard him sing. Probably, half of the people who was seeing him the same time I did, got it, too. But the second time around, I couldn't help but realize. Just like Charice, these are two great Pinoy talents. They wow almost everyone. But, honestly, I wasn't really 100% wow'd by Charice when I first saw her sing. Yeah, Oprah and all were awed. But as for me, and probably a few people, I don't see it that way. I thought Charice was just copying somebody else's talent. And this is exactly how I felt with Jovit. He was just trying to copy someone else's voice. And they happened to be both very good at it. So, this is 2 talents, copying and singing good.

In voting, I would vote for that Ezra band for the uniqueness of their style. And Mr Ruther, too, who is a ventriloquist. Well, he's not yet as good as Jeff Dunham - who's my favorite - but I think he's getting there. The Ezra band's style is very unique. The vocalist has a very unique singing voice and the way they change the beat or melody of the song is pure talent, too. They sing songs of other people but they're not trying to sing it 'their' way. They are singing it on their own style.

Jovit will make it far, like Charice. I never liked Charice's style (take note, I said her style, because I like her that she has a talent for singing), but when she finally sang 'Pyramid,' I was awed. She finally has her own style. And I like her in a totally different way.

If Jovit wouldn't make it to the top of Pilipinas Got Talent, I hope there's someone who will see his talent and 'package' him in a totally different way. Sayang ang talent if he will only keep copying other styles. Pero kungsabagay, it took Charice how many years to find 'Pyramid.'
