Bye bye Carly Smithson

Last week another shocker in the American Idol Season 7 took place,as one of the best contender of the contest Carly Smithson got eliminated. It was a Broadway Musical weeks for the 6 finalists as they sang all Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber compositions.

American Idol only selected the bottom two contestants rather than the bottom 3 that they usually do. And the other contestant that occupied the bottom 2 spot along with Carly was Syesha Mercado as usual. But sadly it was Carly who went home, too bad.

I think there's something wrong with the American Idol voters, because they keep on eliminating good performers, first it was Michael Johns whose exit in the contest left the expectators shocked, he was on of the best contestant, and now Carly, please. And even though Kristy Lee Cook is out, it still took too long before she got eliminated, and Brooke, Syesha they should be the ones who should have left because of their low grade performance. However I will give my fearless forecast for American Idol, I think it will be David Archuleta and David Cooke who will compete for the coveted title. And I think next week it will be Brooke whose going home next.

Top 6 Result
Carly's Exit Interview

Performances:

Brooke White
Carly Smithson

Heart, Kapuso na!


photo source:gmanews.tv

Yes it's official. Heart Evangelista, one of the big stars of ABS-CBN is now a kapuso after signing an exclusive contract from GMA-7. She was welcomed by GMA executives Atty. Felipe Gozon, Mr. Gilberto Duavit Jr. Ms. Wilma Galvante ET AL and during the contract signing she was joined by her father-manager Reynaldo Ongpauco and co-manager Annabelle Rama.

According to Ms. Wilma Galvante, Sr. Vice president for Entertainment Heart will be teaming up with Richard Gutierrez for his next soap "Asero", and she will also be doing a Sine Novela and a Koreanovela, and these coming Sunday, SOP will be having a grand welcome for Heart. After the contract signing Heart Evangelista said "I'm Proud to be Kapuso!"

Even before there were already rumors that Heart Evangelista will be moving to GMA-7 after she left her former Manager, and it was made clear last night on 24 Oras but everything happened so quick and unexpectedly, just this past Monday she was seen on The Singing Bee but now Heart is a certified Kapuso. Well that's good cause I will be seeing her more now that she is on GMA. As a matter of fact even before I was already toying with the idea "Heart Kapuso na" and I think Heart and Richard looks good together as a love team. This is good, I can't wait to see the two of them together.

Singing Bee on ABS-CBN


The Philippines own version of Singing Bee premiered on ABS-CBN 2 last night, I wasn't able to see it, but I know that Singing Bee is a Karaoke Game Show in America seen on NBC and it is hosted by Joey Fatone, member of the defunct group NSYNC and it is produced by Zeal productions. Now ABS-CBN holds the TV rights to produce a local version of the show and it is hosted by Cesar Montano.

The contestants of the game show will simply sing a song from a Karaoke, they do not need to know the tunes as long as they can guess the correct lyrics and the winner wins P1,000,000.

The mechanics of the show is somewhat similar to GMA-7's All-Star K which is hosted By Allan K and Jaya. If people do not know that Singing Bee was originated from U.S. they can think that it was a copy cat. However Singing Bee premiered in U.S. just this 2007 of July, we can say that NBC copied it from All-Star K, we do not know.

Singing Bee has been on and off the air on NBC due to low ratings, now we'll see if the Local version of Singing Bee will do good.

Kristy Lee Cook goes back home


After staying in the American Idol for a couple of weeks, Kristy Lee Cook was finally ousted from the contest last night, along with her at the bottom three were Brooke White and Syesha Mercado. It was indeed a though week for the finalists as they sang hits from Mariah Carey who is considered as one of the brightest diva in the music seen.

Earlier in the show the judges stated their category in judging the contestant for this week, and on of it is that the contestant should be able to reinvent their song rendition and to sound different from Mariah Carey. Of course David Archuleta was applauded once more as he sang "When You Believe", and Carly Smithson sang the now very popular Youtube sensation "Ken Lee", no no no, that was "Without You". But in that performance night David Cook's own rendition of "Always Be My Baby got most of the applause and it earned a thunderous standing ovation even the three judges agreed that David is indeed ready to be a recording artist. Simon Cowell also said that he admired David because he is not afraid to take a risk.

David cook really did a great job that night because "Always be my Baby" was the hardest song to interpret, and it's hard to make it sound different from the Mariah original but he did it, he turned it into a rock song. Even I got impressed with his performance.

Now going back on Kristy, she was finally eliminated after a long run,since she started in the semi-finals, she was always in the bottom three but always gets away with that pretty face. But last night I think she ran out of luck and now the finalists are sliced down into just six and the competition is getting more exiting. The end is nearing and soon American Idol will crown its newest winner for this season.

Beat it(Michael Jackson)
lyrics and track sample

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair

Richard Gutierrez remains Kapuso


Today I've read from an article of a reliable showbiz columnist that after Kamandag, Richard Gutierrez will be doing the TV remake of the action movie Asero, which was played by Cesar Montano in the movie. So this should put an end to the issues that Richard is moving to ABS-CBN. Richard Gutierrez's contract on GMA-7 is about to expire this coming May, that's why gossips that he is moving to the other network spread all over newspapers, and even in the Internet. Richard's mother and manager Annabelle Rama already clarified this issues, she said that Richard will sign another contract for GMA and that there are only some little problems but they can fix it in matter of time.

So there is a different project for Richard, not Captain Barbell meets Darna, in my opinion Asero is better for him, because he already played Captain Barbell before, he should try a different role as a mortal and not with super powers so he can show more of his skills in doing fight scenes and stunts just like how he did in Lupin.

Richard will also narrate the GMA News and Public Affairs' special "Signos", this special will tackle all the issues regarding Global Warming and Climate Change, Richard was chosen to host the program because Richard is self professed Environmentalist.

But in spite all of this clarifications I cannot rest assure that he the Kamandag star will remain as a Kapuso until he signs that contract for GMA, because I know someone who swear ed she will remain Kapuso but became a Kapamilya. Hehehe.

Look-alikes: David Archuleta & Shane Filan of Westlife



I don't know if you guys would agree on me, but there something I noticed about David Archuleta since I first saw him on American Idol. I noticed that youngest American Idol finalist has a resemblance with Westlife member Shane Filan. Since I saw his audition footage on American Idol I'm thinking that he looks like someone, and after having close looks and analysis, I confirmed that he looks like Shane Filan.

Looking at David I don't only find resemblance on their faces, they also have the same smile and the way they sing they are much alike. Even the way they project in the television screen, they are totally similar.

I could imagine David singing a Westlife song, and I hope some people from the television has the same observation as I do. I hope to see this guys together in the same stage. That would be wonderful cause their both have the face value and their both talented.

What do you think now do they look like each other?

Michael Johns Leaves American Idol


photo source: http://americanidol.com

Coming from a star-studded Idol Gives Back special where no one got eliminated, the Idol elimination took place last Friday, and Michael Johns became the next victim. During their performance night, the Idol contestants sang all inspirational song. Michael Johns sang "Dream On" by Aerosmith. Now we can say that it's all just a dream for him, because he got voted out. Along with her in the bottom three was Carly, and Syesha, but unfortunately, Michael got the lowest votes from the viewers.

Many fans and televiewers got dismayed for his elimination, for the entire run of this American Idol season, Michael Johns was consistent and one of the bets to be in the final two, but sadly he was not able to get their. I've seen the American Idol forecast on ETC before the elimination, the analyst of the show predicted that Michael is going to stay because he showed a good performance the other night and that he is one of the favorite, but those were proven to be just predictions, because his performance was not able to reserve him a sit for the final showdown.

Catch next weeks edition of American Idol, cause I've heard that the contestants are gonna sing Mariah Carey songs, with Mariah as their mentor. I think that will be cool.

ABS-CBN Pirating GMA Talents?

If you thought that only DVDs and VCDs are being pirated, not actually. Because piracy is also happening in Television. Not actually the piracy that we all know, where the so called Pirates are producing duplicates of original Films, CDs etch. But piracy of talents where TV Networks offer huge amount of talent fee to an actor or an actress from another network to acquire their service as an exclusive talents.

Let's take the two major networks in the Philippines as an example, of course there are only two giant networks in the Philippines, ABS-CBN 2 and GMA 7. There where several occasions where ABS-CBN acquired GMA talents, just like Angel Locsin, who originally started in GMA but now she is an exclusive ABS-CBN talent. That move was controversial because Angel Locsin was at the peak of her career in GMA, but she decided to move to the Kapamilya network. At that time the actress' camp had many alibi's. One was about her schedule, she said she is not getting enough rest due to her tapings, but who would believe that? Nowadays when an actor or an actress move from their respective network to another, it could only mean one thing, talent fee, maybe she was she is getting double or triple of her talent fee in ABS than GMA.

Just this past months Regine Velasquez almost move to ABS-CBN, the network offered her the role of Betty La Fea, only her signature is needed to make it official but in the last seconds she backed out and decided to stay in GMA 7, according to rumors she will do the Filipino adaptation of the Korean series Kim Sam Soon, and she will also do a movie with her boyfriend Ogie Alcasid.

And the latest star who is rumored to move to ABS is GMA's most priced possession Richard Guttierrez. Up to now there are still no confirmations fro the actor's camp whether he will transfer or not, I'll just update you about the latest developments.

Now why is ABS-CBN pirating GMA 7 talents? According to a GMA executives, "don't they(ABS-CBN) trust there talents?" It's quite true, ABS-CBN has many rosters of stars, why don't they give them chance to show their stuff? Why do they need to spend just to acquire talents from GMA while they have a lot of stars with no projects?
Or is this just their strategy so that GMA will loose their banner artist?

Ramiele Exits AI


Ramiele Malubay, the 20 years old half pinay American Idol Finalists was ousted last night in the elimination. Ramiele got emotional after the host Ryan Secrest announced that the other bottom 3 contestant Cristy Lee Cook is safe for another week, of course that means that Ramiele is the one whose going back home. The other bottom 3 contestant was Brook White.

Ramiele was eliminated after getting the lowest votes cast in by televiewers that same night. But still after getting emotional, Ramiele still managed to sing her final song.

After the show, Ramiele said in an interview that she felt she's the one who'll get eliminated that night.

Too bad my bet got eliminated, I thought she's gonna last long in the contest, but at least she had shown how talented she is, and I'm sure she made the Filipinos proud.

Richard Gutierrez moving to ABS-CBN?


There are rumors on tabloids saying that Richard Gutierrez is moving to ABS-CBN. Wow, that a would be a huge turnaround in local showbiz. Imagine Richard Gutierrez a homegrown Kapuso moving to Kapamilya, the young actor started his career on GMA and became the country's one of the finest actor. From Click, Habang Kapiling Ka, Mulawin, Sugo, Captain Barbell, Lupin, up to Kamandag which is about to end, GMA gave Richard all the biggest breaks, and the network never hesitated to spend a lot just to give him the best shows and even with movies.

According to rumors, Richard's camp is already negotiating with ABS executives and they have a P300,000 offer as his talent fee. But the negotiations are not yet final, Richard and his camp can still change their mind, GMA-7 could give him a counter offer to stop him from moving to the other station. This was not the first time Richard Gutierrez was rumored of transferring to the other station, it happened before, so if GMA was able to stop him before, they could do it again, and one more thing is, would you believe that Richard only receives less than P300,000 for his talent fee?

Now, Richard also has an exclusive contract with GMA films and he has a supposed to be upcoming TV series Captain Barbell meets Darna, what would happened to those projects? Is Richard's closeness to KC Conception who is a contract star of ABS-CBN have something to do with his plans of moving to Kapamilya? What would the big stars of the Kamilya like Piolo, Jericho, John Lloyd would feel if Richard will move to ABS? Let's just wait for the developments. If ever he transfer to ABS, he will have a chance reunite with his former love team Angel Locsin who also played Darna in GMA, and that reunion can be called Captain Barbell meets Darna at ABS-CBN.
