PDA Top Six

Okay.. back to the program:

The 11th PDA Gala Performance Night is on… and we’re blogging live..

So far, we’ve already had a partial list of the top six of the Pinoy Dream Academy…

… Liezel, the star scholar many times over, who’s “battlecry” is “ako si liezel, maliit, maitim, magaling, nakakapuwing”…. who wowed everybody at “hello” (her first performance… which is Dance with My Father)…

… Bugoy, tagged initially as the “male Rosita (of the PDA Season 1 fame)”, who recently had his first celebrity duet with pda winner Yeng Constantino (could this be a sign?)…

… Laarni, or Labarns, who’s probably the most misunderstood scholar in the academy, and who has been wow-ing (wow is our new fave word, lol) the pda viewers week after week, especially when she had this “The Prayer” duet with Jed Madela… wow!

… Miguel, the guy with a decent voice but was a habitual probationary scholar, we wonder why.. who had a “love team”, the silent one…

… Cris, the seductress… the sexy one, who we thought could seduce all men, even the seemingly super naive Richard Poon… Hehehe…

… of course, the slot is open for one more… and who that scholar is, we will know later…

So far, the scholars all already performed… and for us, it was Miguel who sang best tonight. It’s the first time we liked his performance (although Girlie Rodis seemed to not like it)… Laarni sang well, as expected (was off-key once, though), and juror Louie Ocampo said she’s one of the sure top three scholars… Bugoy sounded great too… Liezel was advised to keep her “style”, we think it’s about the presence she has onstage (plus, we think she looks like a Barbie)… Cris was pretty in her gown, although we were expecting more since her song’s already all too familiar to Pinoys, thanks to Jasmine Trias…

PDA Scholars Sing Songs from the PDA Album

The scholars also sang their very first “songs”, courtesy of Maestro (and Head Master) Ryan Cayabyab. It’s for the PDA Season 2 album, “Scholars Sing Cayabyab”… The Cd’s made first available tonight at the Concert Hall (where there’s also gonna be an autograph signing), and is said to be available now worldwide via Dream Big Productions and Star Records.

Sen is now out of the Academy! Van got 54.58% over Sen’s 45.42%. (It’s really hard when one of the two gwapo guys had to leave. Haaay…)

And so the official top six are Liezel, Bugoy, Laarni, Miguel, Cris, and Van! The scholar who will have the highest number of votes til September 14 (or 16? not sure about this, please correct us on the date…) gets to be the winner!

To vote, text PDA (then space) name of scholar and send to 2331 (for Globe, TM, and Sun Cellular) and 231 (for Smart, TalknText, and Addict Mobile).

PS: September 6 Gala is going to be a Benefit Show… for the Pinoy Dream Academy charity event.
