GenSan's True Colors is Showtime Season 3 Grand Champion / Winner

Another GenSan pride emerged as Grand Champion on ABS-CBN's talent program "Showtime".

The Showtime Season 3: All-Star Barangayan Grand Finals was held this morning, May 14, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City and proclaimed as grand winner was the group "True Colors" from General Santos City.

The group is now the 2nd from GenSan to win on Showtime. The first was Season 1 grand winner XB GenSan.

"True Colors" got a near-perfect final score of 9.92, with all judges except one gave a perfect 10. The group won P1 million cash prize plus another million peso cash for Barangay West Dadiangas in GenSan, the barangay they're representing in the show.

Here's the final and official results for Showtime Season 3 Grand Finals:

1. True Colors from Barangay West Dadiangas, General Santos City 9.92 - Grand Champion
2. Vision 20 from Brgy. Sinalhan, Sta. Rosa, Laguna 9.83
3. Yuri Crew from Brgy. Bata, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental 9.75
3. The Next Level Octomix Dancers from Brgy. Libis, Baesa, Caloocan City 9.75
5. Negros Dance Collective from Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental 9.67
6. Street Noise from Brgy. Poblacion, Guihulngan, Negros Oriental 9.38
7. Artist Youth of the Philippines from Brgy. Bulac, Sta. Maria, Bulacan 8.67
8. Cool Guyz from Brgy. San Miguel, Majayjay, Laguna 8.58
9. Asian Pride from Brgy. Old Zaniga, Mandaluyong City 8.46
10. Tribos Humanikas from Brgy. 176 Bagong Silang, Caloocan City 8.25
11. BTLA Kids from Brgy. 185 Zone 16, Malaria, Caloocan City 8.08
12. Anonymous Edition from Brgy. Palangoy Binangonan, Rizal 8.00

The "Best Intro" award was given to Brgy. Poblacion, Guihulngan, Negros Oriental who cheered for Street Noise. They won a cash prize of P100,000.

"True Colors" was able to make it to Twitter's trending topics in the Philippines but the groups "Yuri Crew" and "Negros Dance Collective" who finished 3rd and 5th respectively were among the trending topics on Twitter not only in the Philippines but also worldwide.

I'm actually rooting ever since for Negros Dance Collective coz their performance was something new and of world-class caliber. What the group did was something you would love to watch over and over again.

I think including kids on the judges' line-up was a bad idea.

Judge Vice Ganda and host Kim Atienza revealed after the grand finals which group they actually loved to win and it's Negros Dance Collective.


True Color's victory as Showtime Season 3 Grand Champion just shows that GenSan is indeed the home of champions. Boxing champs Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire Jr, PBB Big winner Melai Cantiveros, Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2011 Shamcey Supsup and Showtime's Season 1 Grand Champion are all from GenSan.

LAST GROUP GOT A SCORE OF 1 FROM JUDGE XIAN LIM
While the scores were being shown, a score of 1 was shown coming from judge Xian Lim for the group "Street Noise".

The said score pulled down the group's final average score, which when computed resulted to 9.375.

Though Street Noise won't win even if it was a score of 10, the group still didn't deserve to be given a score of 1.

Vice Ganda defended his crush Xian Lim on Twitter for the latter's controversial score. According to Vice, it was a system error.

vicegandako: "10 ang totoong score ni @XianLimm dun sa isang group. System error kaya 1 lang ang lumabas sa monitor. Wala syang kasalanan."

And since coming from Vice it was supposed to be 10, Street Noise's score should have been 9.75, tied in 3rd place with Yuri Crew and The Next Level Octomix Dancers.

If it was a system error or there was a possibility of a system error, then it's also possible that there were also errors in the scores for other groups.

Philippine Island(s) (Assassin), (XB) GENSAN, Ateneo & DLSU among top trending topics on Twitter

Four Philippine-related terms made it to the Top 10 Trending Topics
worldwide on Twitter just today, July 24, between 1 PM to 6 PM.

They are "Philippine Island", "GENSAN" and "Ateneo" with the first one even peaked at #2.

Obviously, two of those refer to the two Showtime finalists who competed in the show's grand finals held earlier where XB Gensan was announced as Champion while the Philippine Islands Assassin as Runner Up.

But many wondered why the trending keywords were not the exact names
of the two groups.

Here's my theory.

It's most likely because of how it was tweeted. Some have misspelled "Assassin" as "Assasin" (I'm guilty of that) and of course, the two words weren't counted as one and the same.

Some have also tweeted Philippine Island (singular) instead of Philippine Islands (plural). As a result, "Philippine Island" has
outnumbered any other terms close to it thus it was the one trending and not the complete name.

Philippine Island even stayed longer there, peaking at #2, because Fil-Am-Mexican singer Jasmine Villegas tweeted this: "Philippine
Island mahal kita!! Pinoy Pride Baby!" with 400+ retweets by other
users. She made that tweet upon seeing the Philippine Island among the Trending Topics.

Then a fake Katy Perry account later helped the term maintain its
position by tweeting, "I love the Philippine Island! I was there last
year and twas awesome." And also it made 400+ retweets.

Without mentioning "Showtime", GMANewsTv told its Twitter Followers
about why Philippine Island is trending, "So why's 'Philippine Isand' such a hot topic in the Twitterverse right now? Because of
earthquakes, dancing, spam, & 'Katy Perry'".

As for XB Gensan, GENSAN (Peak: #6) was the only one trending because some people
tweeted #XB GENSAN while others tweeted XB GENSAN. Obviously, GENSAN will have the higher count with #XB and XB being counted separately.

Just like last week, Ateneo and DLSU were once again trending on Twitter because of Ateneo Blue Eagles facing La Salle Green Archers in the Men's Basketball of UAAP Season 73. Ateneo peaked at #5 while DLSU at #7.Source URL: https://mykiru1.blogspot.com/search/label/XB%20GENSAN

XB GenSan, Showtime Season 1 Grand Winner

XB (Extreme Boyz) GenSan from General Santos City emerged as winner in the grand finals of ABS-CBN's Showtime held today at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.

The group won a cash prize of 1 million pesos.

The only group from Mindanao, XB Gensan was only a wildcard winner, but the group managed to beat all other 9 finalists who won during the monthly winners.

In fact, XB GenSan was not even a Monthly Winner. They only reached the Weekly Finals, last April 5.

Another wildcard contender (Boyz Unlimited) competed in the finals and they also scored high, placing 3rd.

It's quite interesting that Boyz Unlimited was the one who beat XB GenSan during the April 5 Weekly Finals. Boyz Unlimited later competed in the monthly finals but lost to Philippine Islands Assassin.

However, XB GenSan, Boyz Unli and 2 other were given a chance to compete in the wildcard finals held yesterday. XB GenSan and Boyz Unlimited both won the round and earn spots in the finals.

All those 3 groups mentioned above turned out to be the Final Top 3 in the Grand Finals.

THE FINAL RESULTS:

1st - Group 11. XB GenSan (General Santos City) [wildcard] 9.875

2nd - Group 7. Philippine Islands Assassin (Marikina City) 9.7

3rd - Group 10. Boyz Unlimited (Pangasinan) [wildcard] 9.625

4th - Group 8. Enlighten Black Theatre Group (San Juan, Metro Manila) 9.425

5th - Group 3. Mortal Combat and the Showgays (Brgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City) 9.3

6th - Group 6. Savannah Kids Ballroom Dancers (Antipolo City) 8.775

7th (tie) - Group 2. Perlas ng Silangan (Olongapo City) and Group 9. E-Crew (Paete, Laguna) 8.575

8th - Group 5. Sensei (Roxas City, Capiz) 8.1

9th - Group 1. Kasibulan (Muntinlupa City) 7.375

10th - Group 4. Beatguys (Fairview, Quezon City) 7.325

A total of 40 judges, including resident judge Vice Ganda, scored the 11 finalists and chose the 1st ever grand champion of Showtime.

Among them were unevicted hurado Jhong Hilario and "burado" judges like Gladys Reyes, Andrew E, Alessandra De Rossi, Precious Lara Quigaman, Priscilla Meirelles, Assunta De Rossi, Will Devaughn, Jon Avila, Yayo Aguila, Nikki Valdez, Jet Pangan, Dennis Padilla, Robert Seña, Kean Cipriano, Marc Abaya, Bianca Manalo, Carlene Aguilar, Karla Henry, Ayannah, Joy Viado, Jay Justiniani, Christopher Roxas, Mahal, Jocelyn Oxlade, Brod Pete, Keanna Reeves, Archie Alemania, Led Sobrepeña III, Ruther Urquia, Ava and Tutti Caringal.

Special jurors such as Manny Castañeda, Jobert Sucaldito, Cornelia "Angge" Lee and Alfie Lorenzo, who judged during the Showtime Kids Edition, and Gab Valenciano who was a judge in Cebu Edition, were also part of the lineup.

Showtime Season 2 starts Monday, July 26.Source URL: https://mykiru1.blogspot.com/search/label/XB%20GENSAN
