Mr. C loses his cool over another Idol upset

(Manila Bulletin) Philippine Idol result serves upset number two in the elimination of Reymond Sajor, giving judge Ryan Cayabyab all the reasons to lose his cool Sunday night at the Idol theater at SM Megamall. Even if the “Idol” venue has yet to recover fully from Drae Ybanez’s early dismissal last week, another shocking result pushed Mr. C’s button.

“The results were dreadful!” Mr. C told the Manila Bulletin right after the results show. “The bottom three with Mau (Marcelo), Gian (Magdangal) and Reymond is shocking to say the least. These are our top guys!”

All contestants in the bottom three earned rave reviews from the judges in last Saturday’s Metropop–themed performance night. Mau sang “Ako Ang Nagwagi” by Dulce, Gian did “Give Me A Chance” by Ric Segreto while Reymond did “Be My Lady” with much justice that the “Idol” band and its musical director Mel Villena singled out his performance. Even guest judge Hajji Alejandro included Reymond, Gian and Mau in his top four performers’ list. The other one whom he named also exceptional was Armarie Cruz who performed Freddie Agular’s “Anak.”

Cayabyab theorized last week when Drae got booted out prematurely that financially–equipped contestants may be having the edge over the more deserving ones. This trend rang true when Reymond exited “Idol” after a powerful performance. Mr. C placed his thoughts, “I expected the best singers to slug it out but it seems that the competition will turn into lightweight competition [in the end]. Serves the Pinoy voters right. They get what they deserve.” Full Article.
