Philip is the Little Grand Star Dreamer of the Pinoy Dream Academy!

Philip

Philip gets to take home 1 million pesosesoses, a house and lot, and some stuff from Sony. He also wins a shot to appear on a “Makulay ang Buhay sa Sinabawang Gulay” ad. lol. :D He’s so cute and bibo!

Second little star dreamer is Amy, who got PhP500,00.00, while third little star dreamer is Angelo. He gets to take home PhP300,000.00.

Amy sang “Ako ang Nagwagi”; Philip, “You Raise Me Up”; and Angelo, “Sweet Child of Mine”. Super cute!!! :)

The others who didnt quite make it got MP3 players (and i believe a few more extra). They are Cristina (who sang May Bukas Pa), Risie (who sang Narito Ako… aww, she was crying while she sang.. iyak din ako huhu..), and Aubrey (who sang something, sorry I dont know the title lol). :D

The cute little dreamers also did a duet, with Aubrey and Risie singing Broken Vow; Amy and Cristina singing One Night Only; and, Angelo and Philip, Uptown Girl. The PDA Top Six, Laarni, Bugoy, Miguel, Liezel, Cris, and Van also performed.

Just a message to the kids (as if this would reach them), dont worry, we’ll see you in Going Bulilit, most likely!

Congratulations!

PS: Sorry for the blurry photo. :D

PDA Grand Dream Night: Performance Night

September 13, 2008 · Filed Under tv · 2 Comments 

The Astrodome was filled with people… wow.

PDA

It’s the Performance Night of the Pinoy Dream Academy Season Two Grand Dream Night and the top six scholars did make an impression.

The show started with hosts Toni Gonzaga, Billie Crawford, and my fave Nikki Gil singing with the ex-scholars.. afterwards, the top six scholars, Miguel, Laarni, Cris, Van, Liezel, and Bugoy were introduced by Maestro Ryan Cayabyab as “the graduates”.

Then, the performance of the “love teams”, namely, Sam Milby and Anne Curtis for Dyosa, Carmen Soo and Jericho Rosales for Kahit Isang Saglit, and Judy Anne Santos and Derek Ramsey for Humingi Ako sa Langit. Anyway, the girls’ gowns were probably color-coordinated to represent the network. Hehehe.

Now, for the performance of the scholars…

Miguel

Miguel came first, and he sang “Love is on the Way” and “Man on the Mirror” as arranged by Musical Director Samson (not sure if name’s Von)… He was introduced as the outstanding balladeer, well-rounded musician, and versatile artist.. ayos! Girlie Rodis wished him goodluck, and further said that he has improved a lot. Personally, I thought Miguel should have worn a coat over his tshirt so he wouldnt look too boyish cause his image says otherwise.. For a nineteen year old, he looks really mature ha.. But, I like him.. Think he’s nice in person.

Laarni

Laarni came second, and sang “Manalig Ka” and “Boogie Wonderland” as arranged also by MD Samson. It was Ryan Cayabyab who commented on her performance, and he said something like “among all the singers, Laarni’s the most blessed one, cause she can do so many things with her voice…” Great, right? Not! Cause Ryan Cayabyab then pointed out Laarni’s mistake during her performance (now, although Laarni really had some not so good moments when she performed, I think that’s uncalled for considering how Girlie Rodis said only nice things about Miguel, tsk) — in fact, Ryan said “anlaki ng pagkakamali mo!”… which made it even more obvious that he doesnt really like Laarni (as observed by a lot of people in message boards). Tsk.

Cris

Cris sang third, and I loved her performance. She sang “Out Here on My Own” and “Candyman”, as arranged by “the Homer Flores”. She did really, really great.. After her performance, Teacher Monet pointed out that we’ve already branded Cris as sexy and pretty, but now, Cris has proven that she is an artist. Then, Teacher Monet goes poetic (lol) and said “There’s nothing but a bright future in store, for Cris Pastor”… how cute, with the rhyming and all.. Hehehe.

Van

Van came fourth… and sang “Hard Habit to Break” and “Babaeng Probinsyana”… and I love it! Super! He’s actually the best tonight… and mind you, not saying that cause I think he’s cute, but he really did deliver! Joey Reyes said something like “he may not have the best voice, but his biggest advantage is that he is a star!”… And right after Joey said that, he kinda licked the mic! lol.. What’s that for? I kinda have an idea but no, am not getting there! I heart Joey! I would have done that too… Hihihi!

Liezel

Liezel came next… and she sang “I am changing” and “Respect”… Louie Ocampo said he was impressed with her during the first gala, and now, is even more impressed. Yep, I’d say Liezel sang her way to the final three… I still hold to my suggestion that if she collaborates with Billie Crawford, the international market might take notice of her.. Could be the start of a super great career. Plus, I love how they said Liezel is the future of Philippine RnB.

Bugoy

Okay, so last is Bugoy Drilon (wow, new screen name)… he sang “Ligaya” and “Climb every Mountain”.. and showed his deadly damubs (dance moves)… Teacher Kitchie said Bugoy has come a long way since the final screening when he sang “Angels Brought Me Here”.. and that, indeed, angels brought Bugoy there at the Academy. Thought so, too… Nice touch and interplay with words. Love it..

So there, who’s gonna be who? Am still keeping my Laarni guess as the winner.. but if tonight’s performance would be the sole basis, I’d say Van.

Mga fans, vote na! Hehehe…

Pinoy Dream Academy Grand Dream Nights

September 9, 2008 · Filed Under tv · 3 Comments 

PDA Grand Dreamer

Yes, with an “s”…

Five days to go and we’ll know who among Bugoy, Cris, Laarni, Liezel, Miguel, and Van will be the grand star dreamer! Season finale’s gonna be on September 13 and 14, at the Cuneta Astrodome, the first being the Performance Night, and the latter, the Awards Night.

Now, of the remaining six, only Bugoy and Liezel have never been on the bottom three (or four, five, six?)… so we still do not know how much the public would wanna kiss them… Liezel’s been the top scholar for four weeks, Bugoy, thrice, and Laarni, once…

But you know, sometimes, it adds more pressure when you’re expected to win just cause you’ve been star scholar many times over… the weight’s on Liezel cause she’s gotta prove herself…

Anyway, if we’re to rearrange them according to who we think would win… it would be Laarni, then Liezel, then Cris… then Bugoy, then Miguel, then Van.

And if you’re curious as to why — Laarni has the best voice, and she’s very flexible… If she’d be marketed the way Bituin Escalante was marketed, she’d make it big, and she’d last… Plus, she could easily express, and that’s what artists do.. express everything through their bodies…

Liezel would be a great RnB singer… or ala-Rihanna, but we’re worried it would be just like a “fad”… but she has the most potential to make it big internationally… maybe a collaboration with Billy Crawford might pave way for her to hit the big green bucks! Plus, she’s really pretty (like a Barbie!)…

As for Cris, we like her cause she gets better week after week… she looks a little stress, though… she needs to get her old sexy body back… Bugoy’s got a great voice, no doubt, but he’s becoming more and more predictable… plus, he needs to choose his song really well (cause the one he sang last week didnt suit him)… Miguel would do great if he’s marketed ala-Jed Madela, and Van might make it as an actor. Hehehe…

But that’s just us here…

So there… how bout you, who’s your bet to be the grand star dreamer?
