Philippine Idol vs. Pinoy Dream Academy vs. Pinoy Pop Superstar


hehehe Parang "CON ASS DIN 'TO"

I love Philippine Idol! Ang galing talaga ng franchise na ‘to. "This show has legs. The audition portion is always the most entertaining part, which also serves as an introduction to some of the “favorites” - na aalagaan hanggang Finals. Ira Marasigan, the very first “featured” singer is the front-runner to win everything, trust me. Although I loved Voltez V girl ha? Funny talaga ang mga auditions.

Pinoy Dream Academy - The U.S. version got cancelled last week after only two weeks (it got the worst ratings for ABC on record). Mahihirapan ng sobra ang ABS-CBN dito since they have to cast for looks and talent at the very same time which is very difficult. In other words, they have to look good on screen for the reality TV part and then sing really well during the performance day. Philippine Idol will blow this show out of the water. ABS-CBN should stop building that house immediately and count their losses now.

Pinoy Pop Superstar - Sadly, PPS is not an “event” like Philippine Idol or Dream Academy. The rehashed weekly Bagong Kampeon format is not working anymore, specially since the talent that they have on the show is suspect. Regine Velasquez cannot save this show — it’s the talent that will. And for the longest time now, PPS has not had a breakout talent like Gerald Santos, et al. The talent scouts need to work overtime, but the damage has already been done with the ratings slide in the past few weeks. The viewers will come back when the good singers come back. But right now, it’s been one disappointing week after another with no end in sight.
