1. Laarni 2. Bugoy 3. Miguel 4. Liezl 5. Van 6. Chris
I wanted Bugoy to win. But when he didn't, i was surprised that someone with an attitude problem won. I do hope the young ones won't think that it's ok to be pasaway coz even they can win a prestigous competition like this.
However, as this is a talent competition, not a school for good manners and right conduct, I grudgingly accept Laarni's victory, seeing that the girl indeed has TALENT, and lots of it. I just hope she improves that attitude of hers.
Let me reiterate, this is a TALENT COMPETITION. Which is why, what I CANNOT ACCEPT is the fact that Liezl is merely 4th place. How in the world did Miguel manage to win 3rd place?!?!
Ahhhh. Text votes. Yes. The power of the people.
Ok, let me suppress the urge to burst with sour personal opinion and stick to the facts:
Attitude: Liezl was generally charming. Miguel was ok too, actually, except for the fact that he voted for himself as being number 1 when it was obvious that at least 1 scholar was better than him. Altho one teacher DID say that they should aspire to be the "Big Dreamer"...but aspiration is different from reality.Ok, this part could be subjective. But read on.
Talent: Liezl had been star scholar for several weeks in a row. Did Miguel ever become top scholar? (I'm really asking, i'm not sarcastic). If he has, was it as often as Liezl? No one can deny these facts.
Gala Night Performance: Miguel has a good voice. He's like Jay-R and is good for RnB grooves and stuff. Liezl is a performer. Her rendition of Aretha Franklin's R-E-S-P-E-C-T rocked the house. Mr. Ryan Cayabyab & Mr. Joey Reyes were dancing in their seats!!!! The crowd went wild -- listen to the applause (is it on youtube now?) And it was also obvious from Toni Gonzaga's comment about the people giving respect to Liezl. The crown obviously loved it. Check youtube, if the video's up. Judge for yourself.
So can anyone please tell me what Miguel has that Liezl doesn't? What did he do to surpass Liezl?
Except for money for text votes, that is.
(I mean, it's not like Eric Santos who really WOWED the crowd during his final performance, right?)
(My blog, my rant, but i'm sure i share the same thoughts with a lot of people.)
