Robby Navarro Voted Out of Pinoy Idol

I didn't watch the performances last weekend. And thankfully so, I heard from a friend Robby Navarro sang well only to be floored by Sunday's results. Oh well. At least Robby's in good company as all the better singers of Pinoy Idol's first season have left. I'm excited to see Gretchen Espina win this!!! I am so excited for her, I can't wait for the show to end so we can hope for better weekend programming from GMA starring Gretchen Espina, no less.

She also has a chance to represent the country in Asian Idol. I hope she sings "Respect" there and show the world how she's no Aretha.

Got to watch my recordings of the show this morning, and it is getting pathetic. It has brushed up significantly on a lot of technicalities but whether the people behind it have any vision to impart remains to be seen. The contest has gone halfway and they still haven't introduced a musical genre, a significant artist or a memorable era for their themes. What's worse is that they insist on amateurish and, not to mention, idiotic themes such as "The Song of My Life" and "My Greatest Performance", both of which turned out to be disastrous. Raymond has gone stiffer and more self-conscious, Jolina Magdangal tries too hard but is still insubstantial, and Wyngard Tracy has become very articulate for a leech.

It would be nice to rant but I have to watch Rafael Nadal whip Roger's ass. Pinoy Dream Academy next time and I am falling in love with Liezel Garcia, who has been dominating the show, and Cris Pastor, who's a delightful talent whose metamorphosis I am anticipating.
