Philippine Idol - week II (R&B/Soul)

Ok. Here it is... The second week of Philippine Idol! Last Saturday, the theme was soul/R&B, and each 12 finalists got to choose a song from that genre. Since no one was eliminated last week, two finalists were eliminated yesterday... and they were Stef and Drae.

Honestly, I didn't expect Drae to be eliminated this early in the competition. Sayang! Cause this guy is so talented. Plus, he really does look like Tobey Maguire. Hehe. I loved his performance this week, but the Filipinos voted... and well, Drae's out. But I'm sure there'll be more of him in the future. I hope some network honchos would give him a chance. I'd really like to see more of him. Actually, I think the judges didn't agree that he was eliminated, but they couldn't do anything... after all, the whole competition is based on the viewer's votes. Damn! As for Stef, I also didn't expect her to be eliminated. Actually, my mind was set on Jelli. I don't know, but I also didn't like her performance, though I've got to admit that it was her best performance in the competition. Even Francis M. who seems to be 'mesmerize' by her (I don't really think so...) wasn't satisfied with what she did. So does Mamita and Mr. C... Well, she's pretty... so I guess, it helped.

Anyway, I'm glad that Mau was safe this week. But I was surprised in the selection of the Bottom Four: Gian, Stef, Drae and Pow. I mean, come on! Pow? You've got to be kidding me! She's not my favorite, but I'm so sure, everyone likes her... and everyone will vote for her. What's this? a conspiracy? Hmm... I smell something fishy.

Well, here's the R&B/Soul Night... enjoy!
