KZ Tandingan... X Factor Philippines Winner.

KZ Tandingan (girls category)... the very first X Factor Philippines champion. Gabrielle Maturan (boys category) finished 2nd place, while Daddy's Home (groups) finished 3rd.

At first, I was a little worried that Gab would be the winner since he had never been in the bottom. When Daddy's Home was announced 3rd place, I was like OMG! this is it. Still worried because KZ was previous week's bottom2 (alongside Allen Sta.Maria). But when it was announced that KZ won the competition, I was like. YES!

A lot of people predicted (ever since her audition) that KZ would won this competition, because she really got this distinct unique voice, and she's really good.

Congratulations KZ.

Medina... Out of XFactorPh

Last night, Jeric Medina (boys category) was eliminated.

When the bottom 2 was announced, I was disappointed that it was Jeric and Daddy's Home since both did great during the performance. Right after the survival song, the judges voted. Martin backed his act (Jeric) and Pilita voted the group out. Gary V. also backed his act (Daddy's Home) and Charice gave the last vote to eliminate Jeric. Deadlock... public vote, Jeric got the lowest... he was eliminated.

Although I also like Daddy's home, I think Jeric should have been saved by the judges. Anyhow, 4 acts left Allen Sta. Maria, and KZ Tandingan from the girls category. Gabriel Maturan from the boys. And Daddy's Home for the group. I hope KZ win this.

X-Factor Philippines Top12

Alright, I am so happy that KZ, Allen, and Take Off are part of top12. Here's the list...

Groups: AKA JAM, Take Off, Daddy's Home
Over 25s: Mark Mabasa, Modesto Taran, Joan Da
Girls: KZ Tandingan, Allen Jane Sta.Maria, Jerrianne Templo
Boys: Jeric Medina, Gabriel Maturan, Kedebon Colim

Although initially I was disappointed that 5th Avids were not chosen to be part of it, I'm still happy with the group line up. Also, I think Martin should have chosen either Michael, or Anton instead of the Colim guy.

Let's see who'll survive...

X Factor Philippines

Alright, so the top20 for the first season of X-Factor Philippines was revealed. And I'm so happy that some of my favorites made it in.

KZ Tandingan who auditioned at Davao really blew me away. She really got a distinct voice, and right then I told my sister that she will be part of top 20... I am quite happy that I'm right.

Allen Sta. Maria, who I believe had been part of Protege: The Battle for the Big Break (one of Jay-R's Protege) also made it in. To tell you the truth, I was really surprised that she was not chosen to be Jay-Rs protege.

5th Avids who sang Shackles during audition,
and Take Off who sang Dynamite were the only groups that I like. They were also chosen to be part of top5 groups.

Michael Pangilinan, who got this charm also got my attention during audition. And I'm happy that he's part of the top5 boys.

Meanwhile I'm so sad that Jordan Bautista (brother of Christian Bautista), Walton Zerrudo (Pinoy Idol top16), and Carol Leus (Pinoy Idol top14) was not chosen to be part of top20. They were part of my early favorites.

Chris... In...

I felt relieved that Chris Rene make it to the top 17.

Although I was really angry when I learned that Brian was in (I don't really like him), and some of my favorite didn't made it. I'm still happy with the result. Plus I have a new favorite... InTENsity.

The Answer, Tola Woloshin was not part of the top 16. But still, I'm happy that Chris, and Dexter, and Stereo Hoggz made it.

Chris Rene

Chris Rene... my ultimate idol in X-Factor US.

I don't know but I just love the way he sing... so stunning. I am really happy that he made to the 32. And I'm really hoping he would be one of the four (per category) who will move on to the finals.

Although I'm not quite sure with Brian Bradley. I say he's good, but he didn't make a good impression on me.

Other contestants I'm watching are Tola Woloshin, Rachel Crow, Dexter Haygood, The Stereo Hogzz, 2 Squar'd, The Answer.
