Last Sunday's gala performances, was one of the best Gala Show of Protege since it has started several weeks ago. However another protege must have to end his journey.
The Theme last Sunday was "Duet with my mentor".. It was a struggling week for most of the proteges and mentors because others were having a hard time picking the right song to be performed on the said show; and others were worried about what they have to sing since their mentors were not present most of the time during rehearsals, however it was still a best show, sadly, Cebu's pride Bibong show stopper Nomer Limatog Jr. Rachelle Anne Go's Protege has been eliminated. 6 Proteges remaining...
This is my review, my opinion about last Sunday's show.
1st
KRIZZA NERI with her mentor Aiza Seguerra
from Cagayan de Oro
who sang Wind beneath my wings and If I could Medley by Bette Midler and Celine Dion respectively
Previous Rank(My Review): SAME
This protege-mentor tandem had a great time last Sunday. They did really performed very well, no problems with the diction and pitch, lines were clearly sang in a smooth way, Great Job, I think she have done her part, so the fans must exert more effort for them to see Krizza in the finals since she was one of the proteges who has few number of text votes based on fan ranking shown every week.
2nd
LOVELY EMBUSCADO with her mentor Jaya
from Davao
who sang Sino ang baliw by Basil Valdez
Previous Rank(My Review): 4th (up by 2 this week)
The girl who started with lots of problems with diction and pitch, now has improved a lot.. It's just like she started from nothing and she has now with that something that other proteges must be aware of. Good Job for this protege, very Good, Keep it up.
3rd
LIRAH BERMUDEZ with her mentor Janno Gibbs
from Capiz
who sang Hallelujah and Nosi ba lasi Medley by Bamboo and Sampaguita respectively
Previous Rank(My Review): 5th (up by 2 this week)
She's back in the game, and it only shows how versatile as a singer she was. She can sing pop, birit songs, mature songs, rock songs etc. She's getting better even without her guitar. plus a top rater in text votes, she might be one of the strongest contenders in the finals soon.
4th
JENSEN TENOSO with her mentor Claire Dela Fuente
from Batangas
who sang Colors of the wind by Vanessa Williams
Previous Rank(My Review): 2nd (down by 2 this week)
Still a good song choice for her, but not for her mentor, though they admit it, they have different range of voice that is why obviously mentor Claire quite struggling during their performance, however, it was still a good performance but some of her co-proteges out-shined this week.
5th
KENNETH MONICO with his menotr Jay-R
from Cabanatuan
who sang Lately by Stevie Wonder
Previous Rank(My Review): 8th (up by 3 this week)
Though there are still some negative performance from the judges, I think this performance of him was far better than his performance of open arms last week. still weak in text votes, he needs a lot of support from the fans to make it to the next round. He might get eliminated next after being in the bottom group several times.
6th
SO WAT with their mentor Rey Valera
singing group from Pampanga
who sang Malayo pa ang umaga by Rey Valera
Previous Rank(My Review): 7th (up by 1 this week)
A safe performance by the group. I think they need to spice up more their performance next time for them to be saved because later in the show, high text votes for them might not be enough to have a guaranteed slot for the finals.
7th
NOMER LIMATOG Jr. with his mentor Rachelle Anne Go
from Cebu
who sang Bohemian Rhapsody by The Queen
Previous Rank(My Review): 3rd (down by 4 this week)
Maybe this protege has been affected first by Denise's elimination, and by her mentor's schedule of musical play that quite affected their rehearsals, thus getting a negative comments from the judges and obviously seen in his performance plus a low ranking in text votes ended up his performance in protege. Opportunity still awaits this kid after protege, maybe the network will give him the break he really deserves.
AGAIN: No offense meant for their fans, remember, I'm also a fan of them and the show.
