Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) Season 2's first 2 grand finalists: Freestylers, Madrigal Siblings

The Freestylers, a dance group from Calamba, Laguna, becomes the 1st Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 grand finalist when the group got the highest number of text and online votes during the first semi-finals' results night Sunday, May 1, 2011.

They got a high 46.32% of the total votes, which was more than half of the 2nd placer, Romarico Sanorjo aka Rico The Magician, who only had 22.31%.

Rico The Magician and the 3rd placer, the Madrigal Siblings which got 14.11%, had to compete against each other to win the judges' votes and earn the 2nd slot to the grand finals.

Judge FMG picked Rico The Magician while Kris Aquino and Ai-Ai delas Alas chose the Madrigal Siblings, who gave an outstanding performance of "Ako Ay Pilipino".

PILIPINAS (PGT) 1ST SEMI-FINALS RESULTS:
1. Freestylers, Calamba, Laguna (dance group) 46.32% - VOTERS' CHOICE
2. Romarico Sanorjo aka Rico The Magician, 60, Caloocan City 22.31%
3. Madrigal Siblings, Cainta, Rizal (singing trio) 14.11 - JUDGES' CHOICE
4. Brian Brady, 10, Cabungaan, Laoag City (Filipino-raised American singer) 7.80%
5. Jeremie Tampoy, 29, Maa, Davao City (Blind singer and pianist) 5.09%
6. Light Gauge Acoustic, Eroreco, Bacolod City (band) 4.36%

***

It was actually a surprise that the Freestylers won the votes bigtime. I actually thought Rico The Magician will top the votes.

Mykiru has this poll for the Top 36 semi-finalists, and among the first batch of 6 semi-finalists who competed Saturday night, it's Rico The Magician who was ahead of the others.

Mykiru's PGT Poll Ranking, as of May 1:
1. Marcelito Po Moy
2.Rico The Magician
3. Buildex Pagales
4. Happy Feet
4. Madrigal Siblings
6. Kenny Padalla
7. Brian Brady
8. Karinyoso Boys
9. Angel Calalas
9. B4
9. Jeremie Tampoy
9. Kapidamu Band
9. Skeights
14. Freestylers
14. Suwahib Samplidan
16. Filogram
16. First Beat Effect
18. Jem Cubil
19. Collins Gutierrez
19. DJP Trio
19. Jacqueline Schubert
19. Larvae
23. Dance Selection
23. Gracelle & Kristelle Lapinid
23. Next Generation Band
23. Rafael Pavia
23. Virgilio Del Carmen
28. Genevieve Arandia
28. Madonna Pianista
28. Zaldy Carlos
31. John Michael Narag
31. Leoniel Enopia and Elizabeth Dazo
31. Light Gauge Acoustic
34. Bourbon
35. Joy's Divas
35. Maribeth Callanta

If you notice, except for Freestylers, the order in the poll ranking of the first batch of 6 semi-finalists is also the order in the actual results.

I actually sided with judges Kris and Ai-Ai in choosing the Madrigal Siblings over Rico The Magician. The latter was impressive, however, there was no more impact when he performed again Sunday the same tricks and magic he did Saturday night. He should have prepared a new magic to perform for the audience and the viewers.

Unlike the Madrigal Siblings, the trio were able to sustain tonight their great performance from last night's competition and you would love to hear them singing again and again even if they sang the same song.

As what Kris Aquino said, the Madrigal Siblings gave a hair-raising performance, to which I also agree.

But definitely, Rico The Magician was also deserving to be part of the grand finals, very much deserving.

If you were to be asked, were you satisfied with tonight's results?

Meet Ai-Ai's new boy Julio Cesar Cabrera Mendieta

Kung ganito ka-delicious ang rumored new boyfriend ni Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas, makalimutan niya kayang may "vow of celibacy" siya?










Ayon nga sa napapablita, BFF Best Friends Forever star Ai-Ai delas Alas is currently dating Julio César Cabrera Mendieta, a professional model from Venezuela who is now in the Philippines to try out a modeling career in the country (just like the numerous Brazilian models here).

Nag-a-ala-Keanna Reeves ngayon si Ms. Ai ah!

Julio Cabrera from Cojedes, Venezuela was a semi-finalist at Mister Venezuela 2001 pageant and represented his country at the Grasim Mr. International 2002 held in India. He finished 1st Runner-Up there and also won the Mr. Physique award.

He also had some modeling stints in Hong Kong.

Julio's view on sex: "Sex without love is like a sweet without sugar."

Nice catch for Ai-Ai delas Alas!

Piolo Pascual, harrassed by Ai-Ai delas Alas?

Fans of Piolo Pascual are crying foul over Ai-Ai delas Alas groping Piolo's "manhood" during the Pop Icons concert held last Saturday, February 21, 2009, at the Araneta Coliseum.

According to his possessive fans, it was some kind of a sexual harrassment by Ai-Ai but as for Piolo, the victim, it was just for fun even it he was so shocked on stage about Ai-Ai's sexual advances.

Piolo was a lil embarrassed and even went down on his knees as if his "balls" were roughly groped by Ai-Ai.

“Ma’am Ai, pakasalan mo ako, ha!”, said Piolo on stage after the "dakma" incident while Ai-Ai was obviously delighted with what she did. “Ayoko pa! Masarap dito! Akala ko iiwas. Ang sarap! Grabe, ang sarap!” she said.

But before Piolo experienced Ai-Ai's venturous gesture that night, Erik Santos had to experience it first.

Naughty girl Ai-Ai also attempted twice to touch Piolo's birdie but she failed until she succeeded on her third try.

It was the scene-stealer during the Pop Icons concert and the crowd generally treated it as the biggest highlight of the evening.

Also drawing loudest cheers was Sam's sexy dance number, where he was seen simulating a "pumping" scene which was actually just a dance step.






Watch a video report by TV Patrol World:


Aside from Piolo, Erik and Sam, Christian Bautista and Mark Bautista are also part of the "Pop Icons". Catch them once more on February 28 in Bacolod for another "Pop Icons" concert.

Do you think Piolo was sexually harrassed by Ai-Ai? What if a gay man, say for example Chokoleit, did it to Piolo? Will it still be okay with him?

Ai-Ai, unhappy with Sarah's 'Box Office Queen' title?

Sarah Geronimo has just been named 2008 Box Office Queen by the SM Cinema and will receive the award on February 18th.

And with that, there's a strong possibility that she will also be named the Box Office Queen of RP Movies by the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation sometime next month for their annual BoxOffice Entertainment Awards.

The news about Sarah's crowning as Box Office Queen makes Ai-Ai delas Alas maybe a little sad as she was very vocal before that she wanted that award to affirm her box-office status.

Her latest movie 'Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat' shown from December 25, 2008 to January 21, 2009 had higher accumulated earnings than Sarah's A Very Special Love shown from July 30 to September 16, 2008. She was a Box Office Queen in 2003 for Tanging Ina.

As what I have said in an earlier post, Sarah and John Lloyd Cruz will possibly get the Box Office titles from the Guillermo Mendoza Scholarship Foundation if the group will only count Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat's earnings from December 25-31, 2008.

In an article by Mario E. Bautista for People's Journal, Ai-Ai expressed her side about the 'box office queen' tag:

“Kasi raw, ang puwede lang i-credit, 'yung earnings ng movie ko from December 25 to 31. 'Yung for January, hindi na puwede. May cut off date daw. E, bakit kaya sa kaso ni Bossing Vic Sotto, they credited noon ang earnings ng filmfest entries niya during and after the filmfest? Win pa rin siya. Di maliwanag na they just change their rules according sa kung sino ang gusto nilang bigyan ng award. Pinapalitan nila ang criteria nila kung kailan nila gusto. But I don’t want to sound bitter na para bang atat na atat ako diyan sa award. Bahala na lang sila. But I’m sure, the people know kung alin talagang pelikula ang mas kumita." she said.

I think Ai-Ai did not understand the rulings before when Vic Sotto was named Box Office King.

The reason why Vic was named Box Office King (four times) is because there was no other actor worthy of the title. His movies were not the topgrossing films of the year (except in 2005) but he was given the title simply because the Box Office Queen for that particular year had no male counterpart in the movie.

In 2003, Box Office Queen Ai-Ai had no leading man in 'Tanging Ina' thus the Box Office King title went to Vic Sotto for 'Lastikman'. The same thing happened in 2004, where Kris Aquino got the title for 'Feng Shui' and Vic for 'Enteng Kabisote 1'.

The year 2005 though was really meant for Vic as he was the Box Office King while Kristine Hermosa, his leading lady in 'Enteng Kabisote 2', was the Box Office Queen.

And finally in 2006, Kris and Claudine Barretto were both given the Box Office Queen title for 'Sukob' while Vic was Box Office King for 'Enteng Kabisote 3'.

And SPEAKING of Box Office:

'When I Met U' starring Richard Gutierrez and KC Concepcion reportedly had 10 million pesos during its opening day last Wednesday.

GMA's SiS does it again

Now that ABS-CBN's Boy & Kris will be replaced by a new show entitled 'Ruffa & Ai' starting on Monday, it seems like it could mean another achievement for its rival show 'SiS' on GMA Network.

'Sis', hosted by the unbeatable trio of sisters Janice and Gelli De Belen plus friend Carmina Villaroel, has been on the air for over 7 years already and is expected to last even longer.

For those 7 long years, (even if it's not a multi-awarded program) 'SiS' has successfully beaten rival programs shown on the same timeslot such as Talk TV, Morning Girls, Morning Girls with Kris and Korena, Good Morning Kris, Most Request Show (MRS), Homeboy and the much recent Boy & Kris, all of which are from ABS-CBN.

And now, ABS-CBN's new show 'Ruffa & Ai' will be up against the very strong 'SiS' and it will be a tough challenge for the show's hosts Ruffa Gutierrez and Ai-Ai delas Alas. Do you think Ruffa & Ai will beat SiS?
