Pinoy Idol: Coming soon!


Pinoy Idol, the pinoy version of the Idol franchise will soon be aired on GMA-7. The show will be hosted by Raymond Gutierrez with judges Ogie Alcasid, Jolina Magdangal, and Wyngard Tracy. Auditions for the world reknowned talent search has already started. The show first aired on ABC 5 entitled Philippine Idol, but it did not do better in terms of ratings and advertisements, so Fremantle Media looked for a better partner to broadcast the show, and GMA was fortunate to acquire the rights for the talent search.

In the teaser shown in GMA, it says "be the first pinoy idol", does it mean they want a new winner? how about the first winner Mau Marcelo, does it mean her victory will be void? That we will find out when Pinoy Idol airs.

A little opinion of mine, "Pinoy idol" sounds better rather than than "Philippine Idol", it's more catchy. And second, the original franchise is called "American Idol" and not "America Idol".
