Last Sunday's Gala night was for me one of the best gala night of Protege: The Battle for the Big break, even though there are still some negative comments were said by the judges specifically the singing group and the controversial protege SO WAT of Mr. Rey Valera. Different issues were opened up last Sunday between them and the judges, even the text voting edge of the group against the other proteges.
Last Sunday's theme was "My Pinoy Battle Song" which is obviously all about OPM or Original Pinoy/Pilipino Music. Unfortunately, Jaya's Protege The Singing Cinderella Lovely has been eliminated, however, It's not yet the end of her battle for the big break since the door was still open for her and the ex-proteges Rosalyn, Samantha, Denise and Nomer as they were given another chance to prove their worth in the wild card round next week.
Now here is my Review regarding last week's performances..
1st
KRIZZA NERI (Aiza Seguerra's Protege)
from Cagayan de Oro
who sang Narda by Kamikazee
Previous Rank(My Review): 1st (SAME)
Very Surprising version performed by this protege. Even the judges loved her version. They praised her and her Mentor Aiza. Another good news for her is that, her text votes increased, so it just balanced the performance. Still consistent. She might be a possible contender in the finals.
2nd
LIRAH BERMUDEZ (Janno Gibbs' Protege)
from Capiz
who sang a Mashup of Bulong by Kitchie Nadal and Huling El bimbo by Eraserheads
Previous Rank(My Review): 3rd (up by 1 this week)
For me, she is a total performer, she can sing different genres of music, she can dance a bit. It's just so sad that she has been a part of the bottom group, wherein obviously her text votes were gradually decreasing as the weeks go by.
3rd
JENSEN TENOSO (Claire Dela Fuente's Protege) (with Jonalyn Viray as her backup singer)
from Batangas
who sang Anak by Freddie Aguilar
Previous Rank(My Review): 4th (up by 1 this week)
She has always been saved by a good song choice that is why she performed this song as if this song is hers. She might also be a possible contender if the voting trends will not change.
4th
LOVELY EMBUSCADO (Jaya's Protege)
from Davao
who sang Halik by Aegis
Previous Rank(My Review): 2nd (down by 2 this week)
Although for me,her performance last week was quite better than her performance last Sunday, It was still a good performance and she does not deserved to be eliminated or even in the bottom group. It's just because she got a low number of text votes if I'm not mistaken. Goodluck on your wild card round.
5th
KENNETH MONICO (Jay-R's Protege) with Kris Lawrence
from Cabanatuan
who sang Bakit pa ba by Jay-R
Previous Rank(My Review): 5th (SAME)
For me, there is nothing new with his performance although it keeps getting better, I should say that it was just a safe performance just enough to be included in the top 5. I was a bit destructed by his hand movements, I think, hand movements were overdone.
6th
SO WAT (Rey Valera's Protege)
singing group from Pampanga
who sang a medley of the songs "Beep Beep" & "Balong Malalim" (Juan de la Cruz Band) / "Bonggahan" (Sampaguita)
Previous Rank(My Review): 6th (SAME)
Obviously, some mistakes were seen on their performance of those songs, but for me, it was better than their last week's performance. But honestly, the group was the one that should have been eliminated. People knew that they were just saved by the text votes since they topped last Sunday's fan votes. Sorry for the fans, no offense meant, just my opinion.
AGAIN: No offense meant for their fans, remember, I'm also a fan of them and the show.
