Since TFC is not airing the new show Philippine Idol, Filipinos outside of the country are very thankful to that there's youtube.com and some zealous fans willing to record each show's episode. The auditions are over and I've seen them all.
Watching my countrymen go through the tedious audition - and quite a frightening one, considering that it is the Mr. Ryan Cayabyab on the other side on the room - I've come to really appreciate the vast raw talent of the Filipino people. There were those usual jerks or jesters who are either tone deaf or simply just full of themselves, but in the midst of it all are pure gems. Some were even good yet they didn't made the cut or were given the golden ticket.
After seeing those three episodes (auditions for Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao), I couldn't wait for what's to happen next, and even more hate what Singapore Idol offers. Those who were rejected in the Philippine Idol auditions could kick each of the finalists' butts in Singapore Idol. Just hearing what the judges had to say on these two shows illustrate the difference in the level of talent that they could pluck out from this international hit franchise. In the Philippine Idol, they are looking for someone whose voice is developed; in Singapore, on the other hand, they are looking for someone whom they can develop.
Pinoys rock! Bigtime.
