 MANILA, Philippines—When “Pinoy Idol” presented its 12 finalists months ago, we noted that the girls were more promising than the boys. Thus, we fully expected that the tilt’s eventual winner would be female.
So, when the final three competed for the title last Saturday and Sunday, we weren’t surprised to see that two of them—Gretchen Espina and Jayann Bautista—were women, and only one male finalist, Ram Chaves, had managed to end up in the final troika.

{mosimage}An emotional night ensued as another contestant got eliminated from the first Pinoy Idol competition. Penelope, the youngest among the Idol hopefuls bid the audience and the judges goodbye last night and sang her last song on the Idol stage.
Sunday, the last day of the week and an indication that it is time to send home another Idol aspirant and bid goodbye to their dream of becoming the very first Pinoy Idol. As usual, a packed Centerstage at the SM Mall of Asia witnessed the event and got emotional when Raymond Gutierrez announced who gets to go home this week.
“Philippines, let us all say goodbye to Penelope,” declared Raymond onstage. And though Penelope was kind of expecting it, judging from the comments she got from her performance the night before, she was still devastated when Raymond announced the bad news. |

{mosimage}The past week had been a challenging one for the Pinoy Idol hopefuls as Regine Velasquez mentored the remaining nine finalists and sat at the judging panel alongside judges Ogie Alcasid, Jolina Magdangal, and Wyngard Tracy. Last week, each of the Top 9 contestants had to perform a song popularized by Asia's Songbird and interpret the pop songs using their own style.
Guests during the Saturday performance night included the Idol hopefuls' personality development guru Olen Lim plus singers Buboy Garovillo, Wency Cornejo, and Gino Padilla.
First up on the Pinoy Idol stage was Jayann Bautista who gave a soulful rendition of "Pangarap Ko Ay Ibigin Ka." Although it was received well by the Songbird herself who commended Jayann for singing the song without a hint of the original version's style and influence, Wyngard disagreed with Regine. |
