Such a lucky day for me.   I was on my way home from  iAcademy when  I saw Mitoy in front of his house  and  I screameeeed.  Sir MITOY,  pa- PICTURE please... 

In his humble abode,  he automatically said, a yes sure..

 

Mitoy is a vocalist of   Drayber's Band.   He has already performed here and abroad and he has an incredible talent.  He is a humble man and above all, he got the power VOICE!

It's about  time to give a break to a deserving artist!

So guys, are you ready?

The Voice Live Show (September 8,2013)

Last night's  "The Voice Live Show"  was stressful for me. It should be the other way around,  while watching my favorite show on TV.    I felt so anxious waiting for the final  votes of  the contestants.  I wasn't able to update because my little daughter occupied  the desktop and I couldn't do mobile blogging and update because my connection was kind of slow.  I just focused myself on TV.

Even before  Daryll  went up on stage,  I already got a hint  to where  the votes of the public would go.    I would agree with the audience. He did well last night and  he  got the right choice of song in that  round.

Let me quote here a  message from a friend @joy..  "Voice-wise mas magaling si Mitoy kaya lang yung puso ng kanta pasok don ke Darryl."
And later she messaged me.. "ready kana ba ma out si Mitoy."  and I replied,   No! Tinodo ko ang boto ko." 

 
And my friend's opinion  was just one of  the many viewers  who  thought  of the same thing.  The song  is  really  napapanahon.  And if you are an emotional voter,  you'd probably vote for Darryl.  On my  part,  and I think this is what his coach probably wanted to say,  yes,  he did well, but not competitive enough to move to the next round.


Daryll was so relaxed and  sang "Balita"  which is  perfect for the quality of  his  voice  plus  the song  goes well  with the  current  issue.   I  had a goose bump  myself  too and if you love our county, definitely you'd be hit with the  message.  Go to You Tube and watch Daryll Shy's performance "Balita"  and feel it.   Apl was in awe, as  caught in the camera, especially on the part   "Duul mga kaigsuunan ugpami naw kamo Duna koy dala nga mga balita gikan sa banwa ko Gusto ko nga ipahibalo ang mga istorya Na naga gahitabo sa banwa gisaad na to"    Do you know the translation?    but as the song goes..  Mga kaibigan.. eto ang balita ngayon sa Pilipinas. .. Let me end  the issue here  as  it will only lead  me to  another topic. 

I  voted  for Mitoy and supported him all the way because I know that he  has  a lot more talent  to unleash in the next round.  He just showed his versatility even on Tagalog songs in that round.


Dear Mitoy,  

Please  rock the Resorts World  again next time.  Pick a song that fits you  like  Skid Row's  "I Remember You " or Aerosmith's "I don't wanna miss a thing, or any of Air Supply's hits."   What about  "Help?"     You  surely will hit  the high notes of the songs above but  do it in a more relaxing and classical  rendition.   And  yes.. with   your  powerful  guitar.   Please rock the Resorts World!   BTW,  I  like your  version of "Anak"  in You Tube.    Go and make history in your next live performance!



To all the bitter voters, please respect the decision and move on.

Love or hate Kedebon

Daddy's Home, Gab, Kedebon, KZ, Jeric & Allen,  these are  my  X-Factor favorites  in particular order.   Sad to say,  Kedebon was voted out  last night.

I watched the X-Factor show from day one since it started to air  on ABS-CBN.  Every week, I would wait for each of  their performances.   I picked my own top ten bets from the start and one of  them  that I  would always  wait to perform is Kedebon Colim  not because he's funny  but I really find him so entertaining.  I am not a  good judge and only based  my judgement on the entertaining side and not  the X factor standard.   On weekends,  this show is a breather for me because Kedebon gives me the most entertaining hour whenever he's on stage.   I always find myself sneaking into my  social media account and read all the people's comment especially the  bashers.  The more haters he gained,  the more  I want him to stay.   To be on Top 6  just proved that he has a lot of  fans too,  a lot more than haters. 

Last night, when each of the contestants were called on safe side,  I already had a feeling that Kedebon would be one of  the  bottom two. When he was called and confirmed to perform for a showdown, I already knew that he wouldn't make it to top 5.  I could read the eyes of the judges. Well  I was  a better judge this time.  I already knew and announced  that Daddy's Home would stay  but I also favored the result, sending home Kedebon.  I  love Daddy's Home, of course!   Martin,  Kedebon's  mentor,  made a  tough decision.  Kedebon's fans were devastated.

I was one of the many fans of Kedebon but I appreciated how it turned even if he was voted out.  Some people may call  him funny or entertaining but what I admire most about  him is how he handles  the situation everytime.   He doesn't care much about the negative comments.

Kedebon stood still, proud and performed  like he owned the stage.

Mabuhay ka Kedebon!   Carry on, make that experience shines more because I believe there's still more inside you,   in your own craft,   where you will excel.


Who is your bet  out of  five finalists of  X-Factor?
